    Our Advanced Soft Wash Roof Cleaning Method

    Unlike high-pressure washing that can damage delicate shingles, we utilize a professional soft wash roof cleaning technique. This method involves applying a specialized, eco-friendly cleaning solution at low pressure, similar to a garden hose.

    This solution gently breaks down and eliminates moss, algae, lichen, and other organic growths right down to their roots. It’s effective for thorough roof demossing and ensures a deep, lasting clean for your shingles without causing harm. We follow this with a gentle rinse, leaving your roof pristine.

    The Problem: Moss, Lichen, and Algae in Fair Lawn

    The local environment in Fair Lawn, with its mix of shade and humidity, creates ideal conditions for organic growths like moss, lichen, and black algae streaks (Gloeocapsa magma) to thrive on roofs. These growths aren’t just an aesthetic issue; they pose real threats to your home.

    If moss and lichen are left unchecked, then they can trap moisture against your shingles, leading to granule loss, premature deterioration, and even rot. This compromises your roof’s structural integrity, potentially leading to costly repairs down the line. It can also cause issues with your insurance compliance cleaning, as many policies require roofs to be maintained free of excessive growth.

    Understanding the Damage

    • Moss: Acts like a sponge, retaining water and making shingles damp and heavy. It can lift shingles, allowing water to seep underneath.
    • Lichen: Has root-like structures that embed into shingle granules, causing permanent damage if forcibly removed. Our soft wash gently loosens it.
    • Algae: Causes dark streaks, absorbing more sunlight and increasing attic temperatures, which can lead to higher energy bills.

    Common questions

    Roof Cleaning — answered

    What is soft wash roof cleaning?

    Soft wash roof cleaning is a professional method that uses low-pressure water application combined with specialized, eco-friendly cleaning solutions to safely remove moss, algae, lichen, and other organic growth from your roof without causing damage to shingles.

    How often should I have my roof cleaned?

    The frequency of roof cleaning depends on various factors like your roof’s exposure to sun and shade, local climate, and surrounding vegetation. Generally, most roofs in Fair Lawn benefit from professional cleaning every 3-5 years to prevent significant organic growth.

    Will roof cleaning damage my landscaping?

    At Gorilla Property Services, we take extensive precautions to protect your landscaping. We cover plants, shrubs, and other sensitive areas, and often pre-wet and rinse foliage throughout the cleaning process to ensure no harm comes to your property.

    What types of roofs can you clean?

    We are equipped to clean a wide variety of roofing materials, including asphalt shingles, architectural shingles, and cedar shakes. Our soft wash method is safe and effective for almost all residential roof types.

    How long does the roof cleaning process take?

    The duration of the cleaning process varies depending on the size of your roof, the extent of the growth, and weather conditions. Most residential roof cleaning projects in Fair Lawn can be completed within a single day.

    Is your roof cleaning solution safe for pets and children?

    Our cleaning solutions are carefully chosen for their effectiveness and environmental safety. We take all necessary precautions during application to ensure the safety of your family and pets. Once rinsed, there is no lingering hazard.

    What are the black streaks on my roof?

    The black streaks you see on your roof are typically caused by a type of algae called Gloeocapsa magma. This algae feeds on the limestone filler in your shingles and can significantly reduce your roof’s reflectivity and lifespan if not removed.

    Why is professional roof demossing important?

    Professional roof demossing is crucial because moss traps moisture against your shingles, leading to premature deterioration, granule loss, and potential water leaks. Removing it extends your roof’s lifespan and maintains its structural integrity.

    Do you offer any guarantees on your roof cleaning services?

    Yes, Gorilla Property Services stands behind our work with a service guarantee. We are committed to your satisfaction and ensure that your roof remains clean and free of organic growth for an extended period after our service.
