We take it off your plate. Homeowners, businesses, and property managers across San Ramon, Danville, Alamo, Walnut Creek, and Dublin trust us to keep their exteriors clean, protected, and looking their best.
Built for the East Bay climate
Why East Bay roofs grow moss year after year
Our Mediterranean cycle of wet winters and long, dry summers is unusually good at growing moss, algae, and lichen. Knowing the season tells you what your property is fighting, and when to treat it.
Oct to Dec
The wet season begins
First rains soak roofs after months of dry heat. Oak and sycamore leaves from mature canopy in Alamo, Danville, and Lafayette drop into gutters and hold water against fascia boards.
Jan to Mar
Peak moss growth
Heaviest rainfall lands in these months. North-facing slopes stay damp for weeks and never fully dry. Moss and lichen colonise shingles and tile grout most aggressively now.
Apr to Jun
The marine layer window
Mild 60 to 75F days plus morning marine-layer moisture through the Carquinez gap. The ideal growth range for roof organisms, and the best window to treat before summer.
Jul to Sep
Dormant, not dead
Moss looks like it died off in the dry heat. It did not. It goes dormant and rehydrates within hours of the first autumn rain, which is why a summer rinse accomplishes nothing.
Why the East Bay is harder on roofs than most of California. Our Mediterranean cycle of wet winters and long dry summers is unusually favourable to biological growth. Add the mature tree canopy across Alamo, Danville, Moraga, and Lafayette, the shaded north-facing slopes common in the hills, and pollen drifting in from Las Trampas, and you get roofs that grow moss and lichen year after year. Asphalt shingles are engineered to last 20 to 40 years. Many East Bay roofs are replaced far sooner, not because the product failed, but because biological growth was left alone.
The right method for every surface
We match the method to the material
There is no single setting that safely cleans a cedar shake roof and a concrete driveway. Using one is how roofs get damaged and warranties get voided.
Asphalt & composite shingle
The most common roof across San Ramon, Dublin, and Pleasanton. Black streaking is gloeocapsa magma, a cyanobacteria that feeds on limestone filler in the shingle. High pressure strips the protective granules and voids most manufacturer warranties.
Our method: low-pressure soft wash with a biodegradable solution that kills growth at the root.
Concrete & clay tile
Common through Danville, Alamo, and newer San Ramon developments. Lichen is the real threat here. It anchors into tile with root-like rhizines that crack grout and degrade the surface over years.
Our method: soft wash reaches into those structures. Pressure washing only breaks the surface off and leaves the roots behind.
Cedar shake & wood shingle
Found on older estate properties in Alamo, Moraga, and the Lafayette hills, often under heavy oak canopy. Untreated for three or four seasons, shake accumulates moss, lichen, and black algae that accelerates rot with every wet winter.
Our method: gentle algaecide treatment, never pressure, to protect the wood grain.
Stucco, siding & hardscape
Stucco and painted siding hold mould and algae inside the texture. It looks like discolouration but will not rinse off without proper chemical treatment. Driveways and pavers take controlled high pressure with the correct surface-cleaner attachment.
Our method: matched to the material, never one setting for everything.
Soft washing (delicate surfaces)
Roofs, siding, stucco, and wood. Low pressure plus a biodegradable cleaning solution that kills the organism at the root. It is the method roofing manufacturers actually recommend, and the only one that stops regrowth rather than blasting spores loose to spread.
Controlled pressure (hardscape only)
Driveways, walkways, patios, and concrete. We use a surface-cleaner attachment, not a wand, for even results without streaking or etching, and we pre-treat oil-stained areas with a degreaser first.
Why it pays off
The benefits of regular power washing
Maintain property value
Routine cleaning keeps mould, mildew, and grime from taking hold, protecting how your property looks and what it is worth.
Prevent costly repairs
We remove the fungus, lichen, and gloeocapsa magma that erode roofs and surfaces over time, helping you avoid expensive repairs.
Preserve curb appeal
Regular washing keeps dirt and dust from dulling your exterior, so your home or business always makes a strong first impression.
How we actually work
The details most companies skip
The difference between a good exterior clean and an expensive mistake is in the parts nobody advertises. These are standard on every job we do.
Plant protection
We protect what grows
Plant protection is not optional, it is part of the job. We pre-wet and shield landscaping, then rinse thoroughly and neutralise the solution before it ever reaches your garden beds, lawn, or hardscape.
Documentation
Photos of every section
You get before and after photos section by section, not one wide-angle shot. That gives you a real record for your HOA, your insurer, or future sale documentation.
Right mix, right season
Adjusted to the job
What works on a concrete tile roof in July is not the mix we use on a shake roof in November after a wet season. Solution strength and dwell time are set for the material and the conditions.

Good to know
Questions, answered
Will pressure washing damage my roof?+
It can, which is exactly why we do not pressure wash roofs. We use low-pressure soft washing, the method roofing manufacturers recommend. It kills algae and moss at the root and rinses clean without stripping granules or voiding your warranty.
How often should I have my exterior cleaned?+
For most East Bay homes, roofs and siding benefit from a yearly clean, while driveways and high-traffic hardscapes often need attention twice a year. Tree cover and shade speed up moss and algae growth. Our HomeGuard membership sets the right schedule so it never slips.
Are you licensed and insured?+
Yes. We are CSLB-licensed under number 1022456, bonded, and fully insured, and we carry full liability coverage on every job. We provide a certificate of insurance for commercial and HOA accounts.
What is the HomeGuard maintenance membership?+
HomeGuard is our recurring exterior care plan for homeowners. You get scheduled cleanings matched to your property, priority booking, member-only pricing, and a before and after photo report every visit. Plans start at $69 a month with three levels priced by home size.
Do you work with property managers and HOAs?+
We do, and it is a core part of our business. We handle common areas, building washing, senior living and campus facilities, and parking structures on documented recurring contracts with one point of contact.
What are the black streaks on my roof?+
Those streaks are gloeocapsa magma, a cyanobacteria that feeds on the limestone filler in asphalt shingles. It is not dirt and it will not wash off with a hose. It spreads by airborne spores, which is why it often shows up on several homes on the same street. Soft washing kills it at the root. Pressure washing only knocks the surface layer loose and leaves the spores behind to regrow, usually faster than before.
Why does moss keep coming back on the north side of my roof?+
North-facing slopes get the least direct sun, so they stay damp for weeks through our wet season from October to May. In shaded East Bay neighbourhoods with mature oak canopy, like parts of Alamo, Moraga, and Lafayette, those slopes may never fully dry out in winter. Moss also survives long dry spells by going dormant and rehydrating within hours of the first rain. If it was only rinsed off rather than treated at the root, it will return.
When is the best time of year to have my roof cleaned?+
Late spring through early summer is ideal in the East Bay. By then the wet season has ended, growth is at its peak and easy to treat, and you clear it before the long dry stretch. Autumn, before the first rains arrive, is the second-best window, especially paired with a gutter clean so debris does not sit in standing water all winter. We work year-round and adjust our solution and dwell time to the season.
Will the cleaning solution harm my plants, pets, or lawn?+
No. We use biodegradable solutions, and plant protection is a standard part of the job rather than an add-on. We pre-wet and shield landscaping before we start, then rinse thoroughly and neutralise the solution before it reaches garden beds, lawn, or hardscape. Keep pets indoors while we work and let surfaces dry, and there is nothing further to do.
Does roof cleaning affect my home insurance?+
Most homeowner policies treat moss and algae as a maintenance issue rather than a covered peril, and damage that results from long-term neglect, such as leaks from lifted shingles or rotted decking, can be excluded as failure to maintain. Some California insurers have also become stricter about roof condition at renewal. Regular documented cleaning is the cost-effective protection, and the section-by-section photo report we provide gives you a record if your insurer asks.
How much does exterior cleaning cost in the East Bay?+
It depends on square footage, roof pitch and material, access, and how much growth has established. We give a clear written estimate up front with no surprise add-ons, and the visit to assess is free. If you want predictable costs rather than one-off pricing, the HomeGuard membership sets a fixed monthly rate starting at $69 and schedules the work for you.
How long does the work take, and do I need to be home?+
Most residential roof soft washes take a few hours depending on size and how much growth has built up. A full exterior package with gutters, windows, and driveway will run longer. You do not need to be home. We only need access to an outdoor water source, and we send the photo report when we finish so you can see exactly what changed.
