Roof Washing
Guard Your Home with Expert Roof Washing
Restore, Protect, and Extend the Life of Your Roof
Your roof is more than just a protective barrier; it’s a significant investment and a key component of your home’s curb appeal. Over time, exposure to the elements can lead to the accumulation of dirt, algae, moss, and lichen, which not only mar the appearance of your roof but can also compromise its structural integrity.

Our Safe & Effective Roof Washing Process
Roof Assessment
Our team inspects your roof to identify the level of buildup, the roofing material, any existing damage, and the safest cleaning approach.
Protective Preparation
We protect landscaping, gutters, siding, and nearby fixtures before applying cleaning products. This ensures zero runoff damage or overspray impact.
Application of Biodegradable Cleaning Agents
We use a low-pressure system to apply specially formulated detergents that kill moss, algae, and bacteria at the root—no harsh bleach, no damage.
Soft Rinse & Final Detail
After letting the solution dwell and work effectively, we gently rinse the surface. In most cases, visible moss will fall off gradually after treatment as it dies and loosens.
Post-Service Report
We document the service, provide before-and-after visuals (upon request), and offer follow-up care tips for long-term maintenance.
Why Roof Washing is a Smart Investment
Many homeowners are unaware of the long-term effects of letting debris, moss, and staining accumulate on their roofs. Roof cleaning is not just about curb appeal—it’s about prevention and preservation.
Extend Roof Lifespan
Moss and algae trap moisture and feed on shingles, causing premature deterioration.
Improve Energy Efficiency
Dark stains absorb more heat, forcing your HVAC system to work harder in summer.
Prevent Water Damage
Organic buildup can block gutters and downspouts, leading to water overflow and roof leaks.
Enhance Curb Appeal
A clean roof instantly refreshes your home’s appearance, especially if you’re preparing to sell.
