Built to Protect Your Roof
Algae growth that spreads year over year if left untreated.
Traps moisture against the shingle and shortens roof life.
A stained roof is one of the first things buyers and neighbors notice.
Dark algae staining can make a roof absorb more heat than a clean one.
Every roof soft washing service follows a careful, step-by-step process designed to clean effectively while protecting your home and landscaping.
We walk the property to identify the roof surface, staining patterns, and any areas that need extra attention or protection.
Nearby plants, flowers, and grass are pre-wetted and protected before any cleaning solution is applied.
Our biodegradable cleaning blend is applied at low pressure across the affected roof areas, with the concentration adjusted based on the surface and level of buildup.
The solution is given time to penetrate and kill algae, moss, and lichen at the source. This is where the cleaning actually happens.
Remaining solution and organic buildup are rinsed away without the mechanical force of high-pressure washing.
We go over the property with you before we pack up to make sure everything has been cleaned to your satisfaction.
What Customers Say
Protecting Bergen County Roofs
A-1 provides roof cleaning for residential and commercial properties throughout Bergen County, including Hackensack, Teaneck, Paramus, Fort Lee, Englewood, Ridgewood, Fair Lawn, Garfield, Alpine, and surrounding communities.
No — soft washing is the method asphalt shingle manufacturers recommend for cleaning. It’s high-pressure washing that risks voiding a warranty, since it can strip granules and damage the shingle surface.
Because the solution kills algae and moss at the root rather than just rinsing away the surface staining, results typically last significantly longer than a rinse-only approach — most Bergen County roofs stay clean well beyond a single season.
Yes. Gutters, downspouts, and nearby plantings are protected before any solution is applied, and everything is rinsed clean by the end of the job.
Soft washing kills existing moss and algae at the source, but no cleaning method can prevent future growth indefinitely. How quickly moss returns depends on shade, moisture, tree coverage, and other conditions around the roof. Regular maintenance can help keep growth under control.
Most roofs don’t need annual cleaning. A professional inspection can help determine when exterior cleaning services are appropriate based on algae, moss, and lichen growth. In Bergen County, shaded or tree-covered roofs may need attention more often than roofs with greater sun exposure.
