Cedar Roof Cleaning
Professional cedar roof cleaning removes moss, algae, and lichen buildup using safe, effective methods that protect roof integrity. Our process restores curb appeal while preventing structural damage from trapped moisture. Regular cleaning extends roof lifespan and maintains property value through improved water drainage and UV resistance.
Roof Preservation
Our CedarRenew preservation system penetrates wood fibers to replace natural resins, creating a water-repellent barrier against weather damage. This treatment slows aging processes, prevents splitting, and blocks UV degradation while maintaining natural aesthetics. The protective coating lasts 3-5 years with proper maintenance.
Shake Replacement
Damaged cedar shakes are replaced using premium quality materials that match existing roof patterns. Our technicians ensure proper installation for optimal water runoff and wind resistance. Replacement services include ridge cap repair and ventilation adjustments to maintain roof system integrity.
Moss Removal
Specialized moss and lichen removal employs low-pressure techniques that eliminate growth without damaging wood surfaces. Post-removal preservative application prevents regrowth while protecting against future moisture intrusion. This service improves roof longevity and prevents costly water damage.
Storm Damage Repair
Post-storm assessments identify hail damage, missing shakes, and structural vulnerabilities. Our rapid response team performs emergency repairs to prevent leaks and further deterioration. Services include temporary waterproofing and comprehensive restoration of storm-affected roof areas.
