House & roof washing

We always treat your house like we would our own!  

All jobs are done with the utmost safety in mind to both our workers and your property. Our team is trained in proper roof etiquette, including OSHA-10 certification, along with knowledge of safe washing practices to ensure your shingles durability and longevity is withheld.

Our process for roof washing includes applying an eco-friendly, biodegradable solution to the affected shingles to loosen any moss, lichen, and other organic staining, and washing off to reveal your newly cleaned roof! Our solution contains NO BLEACH, and is safe for pets, kids, and surrounding vegetation. For roofs that are considerably built-up with moss and debris, we may recommend a presoak in advance to aid in easier removal of debris. 

We always do our best to keep your home looking in better shape than it did prior!

To find which long-term solution is best for your home, it is important to first identify the environmental factors that may be leading to accelerated growth in your area. When we look at a house, these are the main factors we look it that allows us to predict and identify high risk areas:

Tree coverage or leaves  creating the perfect shaded environment.

Leaves or loose debris hold constant moisture on the roof, feeding moss.

Dormers, bump-outs, chimneys, & skylights cause additional shaded areas.

Gutter downspouts that end on the roof allowing dirty water run-off.

Valleys where two roofs merge makes a perfect waterslide for dirty rain.

Type of shingles, newer shingles incorporate algaecide within granuales. 

Moss and algae thrive in shaded areas with limited to no sunlight, especially areas that can hold moisture for long periods of time. That’s why if one side of your roof is spotless, it is likely the other side will be in worse shape because it is exposed to less sunlight throughout the day. Although all factors may not be controllable in some regions (woodsy areas or areas exposed to limited sunlight), it is important to know what is causing it to spread in order for us to do our best to guarantee prevention! 

Tree coverage is one of the leading factors to rapid growth as it gives the moss a perfect shaded area to prosper. You may notice lichen or moss growing only on a small portion of your roof depending how much shade is given by the surrounding trees. Any branches where leaves are making direct contact with shingles is a major alert since leaves hold moisture that helps the bacteria. Along with areas affected by trees, any dormers; bump-outs; skylights; or returns on your roof are also subject to observation as they cause additional shade to your roof. If you have a 2-story home with a 1-story garage, chances are the garage will be in worse shape as less light will make it to 1 story roof.  Any areas that allow dirty water to run down your roof are key areas to look at. If you have gutters that end on the roof or “valleys” where two roofs merge such as a dormer bump-out, it is likely those areas will be more severe and require more attention.

Unlike a lot of competitors in the industry, we pride ourselves in using products that are our fully eco-friendly & biodegradable, containing NO BLEACH! Although bleach will likely get rid of your dirty roof problem, the chemicals in bleach can cause other problems due to its hazardous properties. Bleach releases chemicals that attribute to long-term ozone depletion, with the ability to kill vegetation or wildlife with just a drop. Our soap has one purpose and that is to only get rid of your moss safely without negatively impacting your shingles, vegetation, or beloved pets & wildlife!
