My roof is looking a little worn out even though it's only 10 years old (it has those 30-year architectural shingles). I think it's time for a roof wash, but I've never had this done before. Can anyone recommend a roof washing service? I've been getting coupons from Under Pressure, but I have no idea if they are any good. How much does something like this cost?

Does your roof have black streaks in it or does it have a mold/mildew growth?
There are lots of companies around, down here on Cape Cod we have Eagle Wash which seems ot have a big business going.
Whatever company you choose make sure they do a soft wash the high pressure ones will remove some of the surface rough stuff from the shingles. You also don't want them to use harsh chemicals.
I don't know about Under Pressure but you could call them and maybe check out some of the work they have done.
Do choose a reputable company not some guy with a cheapo machine, they can do damage to your roof.
Good luck

Absolutely NO power wash. If you do the asphalt will come off.
A mild bleach solution for algae, or better yet a zinc strip installed.
