American Services AR, a locally owned and operated exterior cleaning company based in Conway, Arkansas, provides professional residential roof soft washing services for homeowners throughout Central Arkansas.

Those black streaks running down your roof are not dirt — they are Gloeocapsa magma, a bacteria that feeds on limestone filler in asphalt shingles, gradually degrading the shingle surface and shortening the life of the roof. Moss and lichen cause even more significant damage, lifting shingle edges, trapping moisture, and accelerating deterioration. Left untreated, biological growth on a roof can cut years off its lifespan and create costly premature replacement expenses.

High-pressure washing is not the answer — it strips the protective granule layer from shingles, voids manufacturer warranties, and forces water under shingles into the roof deck. The correct method is soft washing: a low-pressure application of professional-grade cleaning solutions that kills biological growth at the root and safely restores the roof's original appearance.

American Services AR's residential roof cleaning services include:

Asphalt Shingle Soft Washing: Low-pressure treatment to remove black streaks, algae, moss, and lichen from asphalt shingle roofs. Safe for all major shingle brands — does not damage granules or void warranties.

Metal Roof Cleaning: Oxidation, algae, and mildew removal for metal residential roofing systems.

Moss and Lichen Treatment: Full treatment and removal of moss and lichen colonies — the most structurally damaging organisms on residential roofs — with residual protection to slow regrowth.

Pre-Sale Roof Cleaning: Roof cleaning for homeowners preparing to list — a clean roof dramatically improves curb appeal and removes buyer objections before inspection.

"A soft-washed roof can look brand new and add real perceived value to a home," said Anthony Sons, owner of American Services AR. "It costs a fraction of roof replacement and most homeowners don't realize how much the cleaning alone changes the look of their house."

American Services AR serves homeowners across Conway, Little Rock, North Little Rock, Benton, Bryant, Sherwood, Cabot, Maumelle, and Jacksonville. Free roof cleaning estimates available.
