Remove Moss and Algae from Your Roof

Roof cleaning services for residential and commercial properties in Turlock, California.

Your roof in Turlock collects moss, algae, and debris that show up as dark streaks or green patches, especially on shaded sections facing north or under tree cover. You notice it when you look up from the yard or when a real estate agent points it out before listing your home. Barnett handyman pressure washing services removes these growths and restores the appearance of your roof without causing damage to shingles or tiles.

This service is available for both residential and commercial roofs, with methods selected based on roof type and material. Cleaning removes moss, algae, dirt, and airborne debris that accumulate over time. In Turlock, where Central Valley heat and seasonal debris contribute to organic growth, routine roof cleaning helps extend the lifespan of your roofing material and prevents buildup that can trap moisture or block drainage. The service can be booked as a standalone appointment or bundled with other exterior cleaning.

Methods Used and What Your Roof Looks Like After

The crew in Turlock uses low-pressure washing or soft washing techniques depending on whether your roof is made of asphalt shingles, clay tiles, metal, or composition material. High-pressure methods are avoided on fragile surfaces to prevent lifting or cracking. Cleaning agents are applied to kill moss and algae at the root, and debris is rinsed away without forcing water under shingles or into seams.

After the cleaning is finished, dark streaks and green patches are gone, and the roof returns to a more uniform color. Shingles or tiles look brighter and cleaner, and gutters are less likely to clog from organic material washing down during the next rain. You may also notice that the roof reflects more light, which can help reduce heat absorption during Turlock summers.

This service does not include gutter cleaning, roof repairs, or replacement of damaged shingles. If the crew identifies loose materials, missing tiles, or leaks, they will note those issues but will not perform structural work. The focus is on cleaning the surface and removing growth that can degrade the material over time.
