Roof Cleaning

Professional roof cleaning to remove moss, algae, and debris. Extend your roof's life and restore curb appeal without damaging shingles.

Keep Your Roof Clean and Functional

A dirty roof isn't just an eyesore — it's a threat to your home. Moss, algae, and debris trap moisture against your shingles, accelerating wear and shortening your roof's lifespan. Black streaks from algae growth can make a perfectly good roof look decades older than it is.

At Navarro Family Roof Repair, we clean roofs the right way. No high-pressure washing that blasts away granules or damages shingles. We use low-pressure techniques and professional-grade treatments that safely remove organic growth and restore your roof's appearance.

Why Roof Cleaning Matters

Most homeowners don't think about cleaning their roof until the streaks are impossible to ignore. By then, moss and algae have already been eating away at your shingles for months or years.

Regular cleaning removes the organisms that feed on asphalt shingles and trap moisture. It clears gutters of the debris that causes water backup. And it lets us spot minor issues — a lifted shingle, a cracked flashing — before they become expensive repairs.


Our Roof Cleaning Process

We start with a full inspection from the ground and roof level. We identify problem areas, check for any damage, and determine the safest cleaning method for your specific roof type and condition.

Next, we clear all debris by hand — leaves, branches, and buildup in valleys and around chimneys. Then we apply a biodegradable cleaning solution designed to kill moss, algae, and lichen at the root without harming your landscaping.

We use low-pressure rinsing to remove dead growth and residue. No power washing. No shortcuts. Just careful work that protects your shingles while delivering real results.

Finally, we flush your gutters and downspouts to ensure proper drainage, and we haul away all debris.


Safe for Your Roof, Tough on Growth

We've seen too many roofs damaged by aggressive pressure washing or harsh chemicals. Our methods are proven to clean effectively while preserving the integrity of your shingles and the granules that protect them.

Whether you have asphalt shingles, architectural shingles, or cedar shake, we tailor our approach to your roof. We've been doing this work in New Jersey for years, and we know how our climate — humid summers, wet springs — creates the perfect conditions for roof growth.

When to Schedule Roof Cleaning

If you see black streaks, green patches, or thick moss, it's time. If your roof looks darker than it used to, or if you're noticing granules in your gutters, don't wait.

We recommend cleaning every 2–3 years for most homes, or sooner if you have significant tree cover. Regular cleaning is one of the most cost-effective ways to extend the life of your roof and avoid premature replacement.

Common questions


Will pressure washing damage my roof?+

Yes, high-pressure washing can strip protective granules from shingles and force water under the roofing material. We use only low-pressure methods and professional treatments that clean safely without causing damage.

How often should I have my roof cleaned?+

Most New Jersey homes benefit from cleaning every 2 to 3 years. Homes with heavy tree cover or north-facing roofs may need more frequent cleaning due to increased moss and algae growth.

Will cleaning remove those black streaks on my roof?+

Yes. Those streaks are caused by algae that feed on the limestone in asphalt shingles. Our treatment kills the algae and removes the staining, restoring your roof's original appearance.
