Cedar and Stone Roof Restoration

Cleaning and renewal for cedar shake and natural stone roofing, using methods that protect the material instead of damaging it.

Cedar shake and natural stone roofs are built to last for decades, but in the mountains they collect moss, algae, lichen and dirt, especially on shaded slopes. Buildup like that makes a sound roof look worn out and can hold moisture against the material.

The wrong cleaning method, such as high pressure or harsh chemicals, can lift, split or wear the very material you are trying to save. We clean and renew these roofs with gentle, low-pressure methods matched to the material, so the roof you already have keeps doing its job.

What we deal with

Moss, algae and lichen growth
Dark streaking and staining
Gray, weathered or dried-out cedar
Dirt and debris buildup that makes a sound roof look tired

How we approach it

Look at the roof and the material
Cedar and natural stone behave differently, so the plan starts with what is actually on the roof.
Clean with low pressure
We remove growth and buildup with gentle methods rather than blasting the surface.
Renew and protect
We bring the material back and protect it where it calls for it.

Renewal works on a roof that is still sound. It cannot fix a roof that is failing structurally, and roof replacement and structural repair are roofing work. Our focus is the cleaning and renewal of the roof surface.
