Roof Washing – Passaic County, NJ
Gentle, Effective Roof Cleaning for Homes and Businesses in Passaic, Clifton, Paterson, Totowa & Nearby Areas
Your roof is one of the largest, most visible parts of your home — but over time, it’s also one of the dirtiest. Black streaks, moss, algae, and lichen not only make your home look aged and unkempt, but they also slowly eat away at your shingles.
At Roof Roof Renewal of Passaic County, we specialize in soft-wash roof cleaning that safely removes organic growth and restores your roof’s original appearance — without damaging your shingles or voiding manufacturer warranties.
What Is Soft-Wash Roof Cleaning?
Unlike traditional pressure washing, which can strip granules and damage roofing materials, soft-washing uses low-pressure water combined with eco-friendly cleaning solutions to:
Break down algae, moss, mold, mildew, and lichen
Remove black streaks caused by Gloeocapsa Magma (roof algae)
Kill organic spores at the root to prevent regrowth
Restore your roof’s color and uniform appearance
Extend the life of your shingles and improve curb appeal
Perfect for homes in tree-shaded neighborhoods across Passaic, Totowa, and Wayne, where airborne spores and moisture foster growth on north-facing slopes.
Why It Matters in Passaic County
Roof algae and moss are more than cosmetic issues. They retain moisture, raise your risk of leaks, and weaken the protective asphalt coating on your shingles — especially in humid summer months and icy winters.
We’ve cleaned hundreds of roofs in:
Paterson & Garfield – removing years of black streaks and lichen
Clifton & Lodi – helping older homes meet HOA or municipal appearance standards
Woodland Park & Little Falls – where nearby trees shade roofs and cause rapid moss growth
