Roof Cleaning

Black streaks, moss, lichen, and gloeocapsa magma can build up across your roof over time and take away from your home’s appearance. Left untreated, that organic growth can also wear away at shingles and shorten the life of the roof.

Bennett’s Powerwash uses a soft wash approach that targets the growth at its source without using damaging high pressure on the shingles.

What To Expect

Before any cleaning solution is applied, we first check that the gutters are flowing properly. Larger pieces of moss or debris are gently loosened with a soft-bristle brush before the roof cleaning solution is applied to kill the remaining organic growth.

As the treatment works, moss and lichen may turn white, which indicates that the growth has died. During the spring and summer, we recommend leaving the dead growth unrinsed to help protect surrounding landscaping. Over the following month or two, it becomes brittle and naturally washes away with rainfall.
