Sunshine is based at 2250 Shallowford Rd NE in Marietta, so Marietta roofs are the ones we drive past every day. Neighborhoods, from the Marietta page: East Cobb, Sope Creek, Indian Hills, Walton, Lassiter, Pope, Sprayberry, Marietta Square, Whitlock, Old Marietta, Mountain Brook, Burnt Hickory, Paper Mill Road, Kennesaw Mountain. Full method on the roof cleaning page.
Multi-story brick and stone exteriors under mature oak canopy. Oak canopy is a maintenance accelerator: East Cobb, Indian Hills, and Paper Mill corridor properties under dense oak coverage need more frequent roof and gutter attention than the standard cycle.
Golf-adjacent estate properties with larger windows, ornate exterior trim, and premium roofing systems. The ARMA-approved method is zero pressure, so a premium shingle keeps its granules and its manufacturer warranty.
Historic Whitlock Avenue and Kennesaw Avenue Victorian homes carry original-era roofing; the Lassiter and Paper Mill Road mid-century homes carry original cedar accents and slate or shingle roofs. Older roofing gets our lowest-pressure protocol, which on a roof means none at all.
Brick-front Walton colonials and the new construction across the Pope and Sprayberry districts sit under the same Cobb County tree cover. Every 24 to 36 months for most roofs; sooner under heavy canopy.
The black streaks running down a Marietta roof are gloeocapsa magma, a hardy algae that feeds on the limestone filler in asphalt shingles and spreads by airborne spores. Alongside it you get moss holding moisture against the shingle and lichen rooting into the surface. Read more: why does my roof have black streaks?
High-pressure roof cleaning voids most shingle manufacturer warranties: the force strips the protective granules off the shingle, so the roof looks clean for a season and ages faster for the rest of its life. Sunshine uses the ARMA-approved zero-pressure method, sodium-hypochlorite-based solution at zero PSI that kills the organism at the spore level. Explainer: what ARMA-approved means. When to schedule it: when should I have my roof soft-washed in Atlanta?
Landscaping under the roofline is tarped before anything is applied, and the area is pre-rinsed and re-rinsed as needed. The solution is biodegradable. Pair it with gutter cleaning in Marietta or pressure washing in Marietta and the secondary service is half off for new customers.
Sunshine Cleaning Service, family-owned by Mark since 2004 and based on Shallowford Road in Marietta, cleans roofs across East Cobb, Sope Creek, Indian Hills, Walton, Marietta Square and the rest of the city with the ARMA-approved zero-pressure soft wash. 4.9 stars on Google with 190+ reviews.
No. Roof cleaning should never be pressure washing. High-pressure roof cleaning voids most shingle warranties because it drives granules off the shingle surface. Our method is zero pressure: the chemistry kills algae, moss and lichen at the spore level without touching the shingle mechanically.
There is no flat rate. Price moves with the size and pitch of the roof, how much access the crew needs, and how heavy the algae, moss or lichen growth has become. Sunshine scopes the number from a free quote rather than publishing a range that changes the moment someone sees the roof.
Every 24 to 36 months for most Metro Atlanta roofs. East Cobb, Indian Hills and Paper Mill corridor properties under dense oak coverage need more frequent roof and gutter attention, so the shorter end of that window.
Gloeocapsa magma, a hardy algae that feeds on limestone filler in asphalt shingles and spreads via airborne spores from neighboring roofs. It is purely cosmetic at first but accelerates shingle degradation over time because it holds moisture on the shingle.
Not when ARMA-approved methodology is used. The Asphalt Roofing Manufacturers Association explicitly endorses zero-pressure soft-wash chemistry as the safe method for cleaning shingle roofs. High-pressure roof cleaning does void most shingle warranties, and we do not use that method.
24 to 36 months typical, covered by our 3-year warranty. Soft wash chemistry kills the organism at the spore level, so a treated roof re-grows from nothing rather than from an established colony.
Yes. Every roof cleaning carries a 3-year warranty against algae and moss re-growth. If streaks or moss patches return within 36 months on a treated roof, we re-treat at no charge.
The zero-pressure method works on asphalt shingle, metal and tile roofs, residential and small commercial. For the slate roofs on Marietta's mid-century homes, request a quote and Mark will look at the roof before scoping it.
Yes - $1 million general liability plus workers' compensation. Certificates of insurance are available on request before any work begins.
