Preserve Your Cedar Roof

Expert Cedar Roof Cleaning in Southeastern PA

You chose a cedar shake roof for its natural charm, but lately, that once-beautiful wood looks weathered, darkened, and maybe even green in spots. If you’re seeing moss, algae, or streaking on your cedar roof, you’re not alone. Many homeowners in Southeastern Pennsylvania face the same issue—and it’s more than just an aesthetic problem. Moisture-loving growth can accelerate rot and compromise the integrity of your roof. 

That’s where Softwash Platoon comes in. Since 2013, we’ve specialized in restoring and preserving cedar shake and shingle roofs with our gentle, effective soft washing process. Unlike harsh pressure washing that can splinter and degrade wood, our proprietary system deeply cleans without damage—reviving your cedar roof and extending its life for years to come.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why is my cedar roof turning black or green? 
Cedar roofs often discolor due to mold, algae, and moss. These organisms retain moisture and break down the wood, leading to rot if left untreated. 

Is pressure washing safe for cedar roofs? 
No. High-pressure washing can splinter cedar shingles, strip natural oils, and shorten the roof's life. Soft washing is a safer, longer-lasting solution. 

How often should a cedar roof be cleaned? 
Every 3–5 years is ideal, depending on exposure to shade, moisture, and organic debris. Regular maintenance keeps your roof healthy and looking its best. 

Does soft washing change the color of the cedar? 
Soft washing removes discoloration and biological buildup, revealing the cedar’s natural tones. It does not bleach or alter the wood’s character.
