This approach effectively removes moss, algae, and debris without risking cracked tiles, displaced mortar, or water intrusion beneath the tile surface.
Wood shake requires a completely different protocol. We use reduced pressure settings and wood-safe solutions that clean without stripping natural oils. Our process includes conditioning treatments that help maintain flexibility and weather resistance in the cedar material.

Most single-family homes in Menlo Park require 3-5 hours depending on roof size, pitch, and complexity. Estate properties with multiple rooflines or extensive square footage may require a full day. We provide accurate time estimates during your assessment.
We take extensive precautions to protect your landscaping. Plants are pre-wetted before service and rinsed thoroughly afterward. Our solutions are biodegradable and break down quickly. In over 500 Menlo Park properties, we have maintained an excellent record of landscape protection.
We recommend scheduling 7-10 days before photography to allow for any settling and ensure optimal appearance. For estates with extensive moss coverage, 2-3 weeks provides buffer time for any follow-up treatment if needed. We coordinate directly with agents on timing.
Yes, we regularly clean roofs with solar panel installations. Our technicians are trained to work around panel arrays without disturbing wiring, mounts, or panel surfaces. We can also clean the panels themselves as an additional service if desired.
Those dark streaks are typically Gloeocapsa magma, a type of algae that feeds on limestone particles in roofing materials. The Peninsula's coastal moisture creates ideal growing conditions. Our treatment eliminates existing colonies and inhibits regrowth for extended periods.
For most Menlo Park properties, annual cleaning maintains optimal appearance and prevents damage from organic growth. Homes with significant tree coverage, north-facing roof sections, or wood shake materials often benefit from bi-annual service to stay ahead of moss development.
