Expert Roof Soft Wash near Berkeley Township, NJ – Removing Black Streaks for a Like-New Finish

Vantage Exterior Solutions, Ocean County’s trusted roof soft-wash specialist, completed an Expert Roof Soft Wash near Berkeley Township, NJ, restoring a roof that had developed heavy black streaking from Gloeocapsa magma—the common algae that feeds on limestone granules in asphalt shingles. While no moss or lichen was present, the dark streaks had spread across several roof slopes, greatly reducing the home’s overall appearance.

The project began with a full surface inspection, plant and gutter protection, and careful preparation of a proprietary soft-wash solution designed to eliminate organic growth without the use of high pressure. This low-pressure cleaning method gently lifted years of embedded contamination while maintaining the structural integrity and color of the shingles. Within minutes, the black staining faded evenly from top to bottom, revealing a bright, like-new surface. The finished result immediately restored curb appeal and added long-term protection—underscoring why professional soft washing remains the safest and most effective method for roof cleaning.

The transformation was documented through a timelapse video, now available on Instagram @VantageExterior and expected to appear on YouTube by publication. A single frame captured mid-process clearly shows the striking contrast between the cleaned and untreated halves of the roof—an authentic look at how soft washing eliminates black streaks in real time.

Following completion, the homeowner shared a 5-star review, stating that Vantage Exterior Solutions is a company that shows up when promised, delivers outstanding work, and can be counted on for dependable results:

“This is a man who shows up when he says, provides an outstanding job and is someone you can depend on. Highly recommend!!!!!”
