Thanks for stopping by! You’ve found a company that provides the niche service of cedar roof cleaning. Cedar roofs should never be cleaned using high pressure. Two schools of thought often draws debate. One is to apply sodium percarbonate and follow up with a low-pressure power wash.
The problem with this is you need to be above the shingle in order to pressure wash downward. In most case a lift is required. A lift adds a lot of expense and can cause damage to landscape and sidewalks.
Roof cleaning is not a “power washing” job. Learn more about roof cleaning in this video Cedar Roof Cleaning Video
Cedar Roof Cleaning Treatment
If the problem on your roof is moss or mold we can treat your roof with a mild detergent that contains a sanitizing feature. After application with a short dwell time the roof can be rinsed. The application needs to remain long enough to dissolve the mold. Most detergents with a sanitizing feature can have aggressive properties and should not be used frequently. Long term use of aggressive detergents can break down the fibers of the shingle. This process should not exceed 5 applications over the life of a cedar roof. Mold and rot are doing the real damage. Mold allows the shingle to retain moisture. It can become soft and fail. It is important to keep the shingle clean of mold, moss and algae.

Each full roof treatment comes with our 3 Year Spot-Free Warranty. We know that by completely sterilizing the roof it will stay clean for many years. If the roof is spot-treated you can expect the mold to regenerate faster.
Moss and Lichens
Moss and lichen die immediately after treatment. Like any other type of plant or fungus it will die and decompose before washing away with a few rains. It can take up to a year in severe cases. Removing heavy moss will require aggressive agitating such as stiff scrubbing. The growth is a living organism and a pest-control approach can insure the roof remains free of stains for an extended period of time.
