We provide ARMA-compliant roof cleaning with professional cleaning certificates your insurance company will accept — proving your roof has been properly maintained to industry standards.
Santa Cruz County's coastal climate creates the perfect environment for moss, algae, and lichen to thrive on your roof. These organisms don't just look unsightly – they actively damage your roofing materials, trapping moisture and causing premature deterioration.
Our professional roof cleaning service safely removes these harmful growths while protecting your shingles, tiles, or metal roofing. We use a gentle soft wash technique that's effective yet safe for all roof types.
These organisms thrive in our damp coastal climate, spreading across your roof and trapping moisture that damages shingles over time.
Those dark streaks running down your roof are Gloeocapsa magma, a type of algae that feeds on limestone filler in shingles.
This combination of algae and fungus creates tough, crusty patches that can lift and damage shingles as it grows.
Regular cleaning removes damaging organisms and can add years to your roof's life, saving thousands in replacement costs.
A clean roof dramatically improves your home's appearance, increasing its value and making it stand out.
Dark algae absorbs heat. Cleaning your roof can help it reflect sunlight better, potentially lowering cooling costs.
Moss and algae trap moisture against your roof, leading to rot, leaks, and structural damage if left untreated.
"Wonderful service! Jose & Joel arrived on time, washed my windows, inside & out, & asked me for a walk-through (everything was perfect!). In fact, I realized how dirty my house & roof were, & asked them to come back for a house wash & roof cleaning."
