Why Roof Cleaning? Is it worth having your roof cleaned?
With our humid summers and snowy winters, roofs in Connecticut, Massachusetts & Rhode Island are highly vulnerable to black algae, moss, and lichen buildup. These infestations trap moisture, degrade shingles, and attract pests, leading to premature roof failure.
Benefits of regular roof cleaning:
- Helps your roof last longer
- Reduces the risk of leaks and costly repairs
- Enhances home value and curb appeal
- Prevents mold, mildew, and pests
- Significantly cheaper and easier than a complete roof replacement
How It Works Our Safe & Effective Soft Wash Roof Cleaning Process
Unlike power washing, which can damage shingles and strip away granules, we use a low-pressure soft wash system. This method is recommended by top roofing manufacturers and designed to kill and remove algae, moss, and mildew gently.
Steps in the roof cleaning process:
- Site Protection: We safeguard your landscaping, siding, and surrounding areas.
- Application of Cleaning Solution: Our biodegradable blend of household cleaners and surfactants penetrates the roof shingles to destroy mold, mildew, algae, and moss, down to the root.
- Natural Rinse Cycle: Over 10–14 days, rainwater gently rinses away the now-dead growth, revealing a fresh, clean roof.
Why choose Klaus Larsen Roofing?
From coastal algae buildup in Rhode Island to tree-covered neighborhoods in central Connecticut, there a lot of causes of dirty roofs, and Klaus Larsen Roofing has the knowledge, equipment, and experience to solve black streaks, algae, moss, and other roofing issues.

Roof Cleaning FAQs Top Questions & Answers About Roof Cleaning in CT, MA & RI
How long until my roof looks clean?
You'll notice improvements within 24 hours, with full results appearing in 10-14 days as rain washes away dead growth.
Is soft wash roof cleaning safe for my landscaping or pets?
Our cleaning solution is a mix of household cleaning agents. Our experts spray the ground and side of the house with water so that any run off will not "bleach" the house. The chlorine in our solution becomes inactive and non-harmful after about a half hour. That means that if an animal were to ingest the solution, no harm would come to them if enough time had passed. Throughout our process, we spray down the ground and the side of your home to constantly keep any excess from ruining foliage and siding.
Will roof cleaning get rid of black streaks and algae?
Our process targets black algae (Gloeocapsa magma), moss, mold, and lichen at the root level. There might be some algae or black streaks still visible immediately after the roof is cleaned, as it takes a couple of days for the cleaning solution to actively work to kill the algae.
How often should I have my roof cleaned?
Every 3-5 years is typical, depending on tree cover and humidity levels in your area.
