Our Fungus Removal Services
We focus on careful cleaning, safe removal of fungus, and eco-friendly treatments. Every step aims to protect your cedar shakes while eliminating fungus effectively.
Specialized Cleaning Techniques
We use gentle, precise cleaning methods tailored to cedar shake roofs. Our team avoids high-pressure washing, which can damage the wood. Instead, we apply soft washing techniques to remove dirt, mildew, and fungus.
This approach uses low-pressure water combined with special cleaning solutions. The result is a deep clean without harming the cedar shakes. We also remove loose debris by hand to prepare the surface for treatment.
Eco-Friendly Treatment
We offer treatments that are safe for the environment and wildlife around your home. Our eco-friendly options break down naturally and contain no harsh chemicals.
These treatments prevent issues like water pollution and harm to beneficial insects. We balance effectiveness with environmental care, ensuring your roof is clean and your surroundings are protected. This helps keep your property safe for years to come.
Safe Fungus Elimination Methods
Our fungus removal relies on treatments that kill mold, mildew, and algae without risking damage to your roof. We use EPA-approved fungicides that target fungus spores directly.
These chemicals are applied carefully to avoid runoff that could harm nearby plants. After treatment, the fungus dies off naturally, reducing the chance of regrowth. Our methods protect your roof’s integrity while making it safe again.

Our Inspection and Assessment Process
We start by carefully checking your roof to spot any signs of fungus. Then, we measure how much damage the fungus has caused. Finally, we create a clear cost estimate for the removal and repair work.
Roof Evaluation
Our team begins with a close visual check of your cedar shake roof. We look for dark spots, discoloration, or any visible mold and mildew growth.
We also note areas where the wood looks soft, cracked, or has loose shakes. This helps us understand the overall condition and decide what tools or treatments are needed.
Safety is part of our process, so we use ladders and sometimes drones for hard-to-reach spots. This thorough check makes sure we don't miss any fungal growth.
Identifying Extent of Damage
Next, we assess how deep the fungus has spread. We test the wood’s surface and sometimes remove small samples to check for rot underneath.
We rate the damage by type—mildew, mold, or more harmful fungi—and how much of the roof it covers.
This helps us determine if simply cleaning will work or if partial shake replacement is needed. We document the findings clearly for transparency.
Detailed Estimates
After the assessment, we prepare a detailed estimate. This includes costs for labor, materials, and any special treatments needed to kill the fungus.
We break down the estimate into sections like cleaning, repairs, and preventative coatings. This way, you see exactly what each part costs.
We also list the timeline for the job, so you know how long the process will take and when work will start.

Preventive Maintenance for Cedar Shake Roofs
Scheduled Cleaning Programs
Regular cleaning is key to prevent fungus growth on cedar shakes. We recommend cleaning the roof at least once a year, especially after heavy rains or in shaded areas where moisture builds up.
Our cleaning process removes dirt, moss, and mold without damaging the wood. We use gentle, eco-friendly solutions that kill fungal spores. High-pressure washing is avoided because it can harm the shakes. Scheduling cleanings helps maintain the wood's natural look and extends the roof's lifespan. Consistent cleaning reduces the chance of costly repairs later.
Protective Treatments
Applying protective treatments is another important step. We use sealants and water repellents designed specifically for cedar shake roofs. These treatments block moisture and prevent fungal spores from taking hold. We apply them after cleaning, ensuring the wood is dry.
The right products also protect against UV damage, which can dry out and crack the shakes. Reapplying treatments every 2-3 years keeps the wood in strong condition and slows decay.
Long-Term Roof Care Strategies
We advise homeowners to combine cleaning and treatments with regular inspections. Checking for damaged or loose shakes lets us fix small problems before they worsen.
Trimming overhanging tree branches reduces shade and improves air flow. This helps the roof dry faster, limiting fungal growth. We also recommend keeping gutters clean to prevent water backup, which can increase moisture near the roof edges. Using these strategies together supports a healthy, long-lasting cedar shake roof.
