We help homeowners preserve, protect, and extend the life of their cedar roofs through expert cleaning, restoration, and care. Our goal on every job is simple: leave your property looking better than when we arrived, and add years of life back into your roof.
Our Step-by-Step Process
Non-Pressure Soft Wash Cleaning
Our entire cleaning process is performed from the safety of a ladder at standard garden hose pressure. We never walk on your cedar shake roof and we never use a pressure washer. Walking on cedar shakes causes cracking and compression damage. High-pressure water destroys the wood fibers that give cedar its durability and beauty.
This non-pressure approach is the only safe, responsible method for cleaning a cedar shake roof, and it is the cornerstone of everything we do.
Specially Formulated Cleaning Solution Applied
We apply our proprietary Citra-Shield cleaning solution to your roof. Unlike caustic bleach-based products used by other companies, our formula is citrus-based, non-toxic, and specially engineered for cedar shake and slate roof surfaces.
The solution is allowed to dwell on the surface, penetrating deep into the wood grain to eliminate moss, mold, mildew, lichen, algae, and brown rot fungi at the root level, not just on the surface.
Safe Low-Pressure Rinse
After the solution has done its work, we rinse the roof at garden hose pressure only. This removes the loosened organic material without disturbing the wood fibers or dislodging any shakes.
The result is a clean, restored roof surface with same-day visible results. No waiting. No return visits. Your roof looks dramatically better the same day we arrive.
Roof Preservation and Protection
Our cleaning solution does more than just clean. The steam process oil component actively rehydrates and conditions your cedar shakes, restoring flexibility and natural oils that are lost over years of weathering.
This is the difference between a company that cleans roofs and a company that preserves them. Every job we do is designed to extend your roof's lifespan and push back the costly replacement date as far as possible.
