Roof Cleaning

One of the things that can make your roof looked stained and dirty is black algae. Algae might only look like a dirty stain running down your shingles but it’s actually a living organism (technically a plant) that’s slowly hurting your roof.

Moss has a similar effect, spreading across your roof wherever enough moisture is present. It’s especially problematic on parts of your roof that are usually in the shade, where sunlight can’t properly dry the shingles. This buildup can attract pests and, if left long enough, can force you to replace your roof entirely.

Our roof cleaning services are designed to remove all types of debris, including dirt, grime, moss, and algae, from your roof's surface. We use eco-friendly solutions and low-pressure techniques to ensure the safety and longevity of your roof.
​
Treat your roof with the respect it deserves for protecting you year-round. With roof cleaning service from Rip City Roof Cleaning, your home will look sharp and be protected from serious roof damage.

Moss Removal

Rip City Roofing also provides professional moss removal services for your Portland home.
​
Moss retains moisture, which can freeze in cold weather and damage the coating on shingles. It wears down your roof more quickly than normal, shortening its lifespan and costing you significantly more money in the long run.

Moss typically starts growing between and underneath shingles, where the moisture allows it to thrive and spread. As it grows thicker, it can start to push up on shingles and create gaps that let in water. Then, your roof becomes vulnerable to leaks and serious wood rot.
​
The Rip City Roof Cleaning team uses soft washing techniques for moss removal that involve hosing and gently brushing moss off of shingles. 

This protects the shingles from further damage while effectively clearing moss buildup.

​Our moss removal team works patiently to clean all roofing materials and eliminate moss, algae and other plant growth.

Moss Treatment

Moss treatment is the final essential step in regular roof maintenance. Even after surface moss is removed, it can remain inside the crevices between shingles and continue to silently weaken your roof.

Complete moss treatment involves prevention; a comprehensive moss treatment solution provides an ongoing defense against moss growth. Moss treatment methods include installing zinc or copper strips along the top ridge of your roof and applying chemicals to eliminate moss growth.

These specialized chemicals are safe on roofs but deadly for moss and other damaging plants. It’s risky to try to apply moss treatments on your own. 

Our team is dedicated to providing safe, responsible moss treatments while protecting your lawn, landscaping and home from chemicals.
Best of all, our specialized moss treatment continues to work long after we’ve left.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Why is roof cleaning important?

Regular roof cleaning removes moss, algae, and debris that can damage your roof over time. It helps extend the life of your roof, improves curb appeal, and prevents costly repairs.

2. How often should I have my roof cleaned?

​In Portland’s damp climate, we recommend roof cleaning at least once every 1–2 years to prevent moss and algae buildup.

3. Do you use pressure washing?

No. At Rip City Roof Cleaning, we use gentle soft washing techniques that clean effectively without damaging shingles or roofing materials.

4. What types of roofs do you clean?

We clean all types of roofs, including asphalt shingles, metal, tile, cedar shake, and flat roofs.

5. Is your cleaning method safe for older roofs?

Yes. At Rip City Roof Cleaning, we use a soft washing method that is safe for older or more delicate roofs. This technique relies on low-pressure water to gently remove moss, algae, and debris without damaging your shingles. For tougher moss buildup, we may use a wire brush very carefully and only on the ridge caps—never on the main field of shingles—to avoid causing unnecessary wear. We take every precaution to preserve the integrity of your roof while ensuring a thorough clean.

6. Zinc Sulfate Moss Treatment

After we clean your roof with a wire brush, we apply zinc sulfate to help keep moss from growing back. We sprinkle the powder along the peaks of your roof, and when it rains, the zinc spreads across the surface. This helps stop moss from taking root again and keeps your roof looking clean longer.

7. How long does roof cleaning take?

Most residential roof cleaning jobs are completed in one day, depending on the size and condition of the roof.

8. Do you offer free estimates?

Yes! Rip City Roof Cleaning provides free, no-obligation estimates so you can make an informed decision.

9. Are you licensed and insured?

Absolutely. We are fully licensed and insured for your peace of mind.
