Roof Washing in Montclair, NJ
Restore Curb Appeal & Protect Your Roof — The Rinse Prince Way
Why Roof Cleaning in Montclair Is Essential
Take a look around Montclair — you'll see dark roof streaks on many homes. Those streaks aren't dirt... they're algae, mold, and lichen feeding on your roof.
From the tree-lined homes in Upper Montclair to the charming colonials near South Mountain, we've cleaned thousands of roofs locally, and we've seen what New Jersey weather does:
- Spring Moisture: Feeds algae and mildew
- Summer Heat: Bakes black streaks deep into shingles
- Fall Leaves: Clog valleys and hold moisture
- Winter Freeze: Expands cracks and breaks shingles
What Is Soft Wash Roof Cleaning?
- Kills algae, moss, mold, and lichen at the root
- Gently rinses without damaging your roof
- Meets shingle manufacturer guidelines
- Restores the natural color of your roof
- Extends your roof's lifespan by years
Roof Types We Clean in Montclair

Our 4-Step Roof Washing Process
-
1. Property Protection
We tarp fragile plants, cover outlets, and prepare for runoff redirection.
-
2. Dry Application
We apply our custom-mixed roof cleaning solution directly to dry shingles. This ensures maximum cling and kill-rates for organic growth.
-
3. Dwell & Kill
We let the solution sit — allowing it to break the bonds of moss, mold, and algae without blasting or scrubbing.
-
4. Rinse & Review
Rain or rinse removes the debris gradually, leaving a cleaner, healthier roof in days — without granule loss or mess.
Does My Roof Really Need Washing?
Here are 5 signs it’s time:
- Black streaks (algae feeding on shingle limestone)
- Green moss clumps (visible from ground)
- White lichen spots (advanced growth stage)
- Gutter clogs from roof debris
- HOA or insurance warnings
Your roof could look 10 years older than it is — and that impacts resale, insurance, and long-term repair costs.
