Cedar Shingle Cleaning & Restoration on the South Shore
Cedar shingle roofing and siding are quintessential New England architectural staples. They offer unmatched natural beauty, incredible durability, and classic coastal charm. However, the South Shore’s damp climate, salt air, and heavy seasonal shade can quickly take a toll on natural wood. Over time, cedar shingles become a breeding ground for destructive moss, lichen, black mold, and algae.
Left untreated, these organisms don’t just look ugly; they eat away at the wood fibers, trap moisture, and cause premature rotting. All State Mobile Wash LLC specializes in professional cedar shingle restoration for both roofs and siding. We safely remove destructive biological growth, bringing back the rich, natural warmth of your cedar while adding years to its lifespan.
Our Safe, Wood-Specific Restoration Process
Cedar is a delicate, organic material that requires a scientific approach to cleaning. Blasting it with water will ruin it. At All State Mobile Wash, we utilize a specialized, low-pressure restoration method:
- Advanced Soft Wash Treatment: We apply a custom, biodegradable cleaner and surfactant specifically formulated for cedar. This solution safely penetrates the porous wood to kill moss, mold, lichen, and algae at the root level.
- Gentle Fungicidal Rinse: Once the organic growth is completely neutralized, we gently rinse the shingles using low pressure. This safely washes away years of grime, dirt, and dead spores, exposing the clean, healthy wood beneath without altering its structural integrity.
- Preventative Protection: By eliminating the root systems of these wood-eating organisms, our process keeps your cedar clean, bright, and healthy up to three times longer than standard washing methods.
The Ultimate Danger: Never Use High Pressure on Cedar
Cedar shingles are held together by natural oils and tight wood grains. Exposing them to standard high-pressure washing can cause immediate, catastrophic, and expensive damage to your home.
Why High Pressure Destroys Cedar: Using high pressure on cedar shingles will instantly gouge the wood, lift and split the shakes, and cause severe “furring” (where the wood fibers shred into splinters). On a roof, high pressure can blow shingles right off or force water underneath them, leading to major interior roof leaks. We only use a low-pressure soft wash process on cedar.
