Asphalt Shingle
Asphalt shingle is one of the most common roofs on Roseville homes. Our crew harnesses up, brushes the moss off first, then applies the standard roof treatment at low pressure.
Removing Moss, Algae, and Lichen
on Your Roseville Roof
Winter and spring rains can encourage moss, algae, and lichen to grow on roofs around Roseville. At Buddy Bright, we remove the moss, then soft wash the roof at garden-hose pressure with a sodium hypochlorite treatment to target the remaining growth. If your roof is turning green or dark, call us at (916) 305-8913.
The Roof Types We Soft Wash
Your roof material decides how we handle the job, and we adjust the soft wash to fit it. Same crew, same care, whatever you have over your head.
Concrete Tile
Concrete tile is the other roof we see most around here, and it gets the same standard soft wash. We take care with how we move across tile so nothing cracks underfoot.
Metal
Metal roofs get a gentler, reduced-strength mix. Our technicians are trained in a specific technique for walking a metal roof safely while they work.
Cedar Shake
Cedar shake is a wood roof, and we clean it with the soft wash the same way. After we clean a cedar shake roof, we recommend having a wood-care company apply a protective oil. Clean wood benefits from that protection, and it’s not a service we provide ourselves.
Roof Moss Removal
for Insurance Letters
Some homeowners come to us holding a letter from their insurance company that asks for the moss on their roof to be cleaned off. We can do moss removal on its own for exactly that. It’s our entry-level roof service: we brush the moss off and blow it clear of the roof. You get a drone look before we start and before-and-after photos when we’re done. Moss removal takes the moss off the surface. The soft wash treatment is the step that kills moss, algae, and lichen at the root. It’s the next package up whenever you want the fuller result.
Why Roseville Homeowners Choose Us
for Roof Cleaning
We’re a family-owned, locally owned crew based in Roseville, and these are the standards we hold on every job. Two things set our roof work apart, and both come down to protecting what we’re standing on.
Soft Wash Only, Never Pressure Washed
We never pressure wash roofs. Most roof cleaners around Roseville still do, and it strips granules, shortens the life of your shingles or tile, voids manufacturer guidance, and can even get a homeowner’s insurance policy cancelled. We soft wash at garden-hose pressure with a sodium hypochlorite treatment that kills moss, algae, and lichen at the root, safe for your roof and incredible results.
Plants and Property Protected on Every Roof
We work in two-person teams. While one technician applies the treatment, the other is constantly watering your plants, siding, and gutters so nothing but the roof gets treated. Sensitive plants get tarped, everything gets diluted and rinsed, and your driveway, sidewalks, and side yard are left clean.

How a Roof Cleaning Day Goes With Our Crew
From your first call to the final walkthrough, here’s how the day runs.
Step 1: The Free In-Person Quote
Call, text, or send the form, and we respond within minutes during business hours. We come out the same day whenever we can, look at your roof in person, and give you an exact quote on the spot. The quote is free.
Step 2: Booking and Reminders
Once you approve it, we book the job, usually the same week. You get email and text reminders before the visit, plus an on-the-way message the day of, or a call if you’d rather.
Step 3: Arrival and Setup
We set out a safety sign and park on the street, never your driveway. We hook up to your outdoor spigot to fill our tanks. Then we introduce ourselves from a few feet back and walk you through the plan before we touch anything.
Step 4: A Drone Look at Your Roof
Before anyone climbs up, we fly a drone over the roof to assess it. You get to see what we see.
Step 5: Moss Off and Gutters Cleared
The crew harnesses up, lightly brushes the moss off, and blows the roof clean. We clean and flush the gutters so everything flows, then tidy the ground below.
Step 6: The Soft Wash Treatment
Now the roof gets treated with our soft-wash system under 100 PSI, using sodium hypochlorite blended with a surfactant. We apply it in multiple layers and rinse select areas as needed. The mix runs about 6.25% on shingle and tile and about 3% on metal. One technician works from the roof or a ladder while the second keeps the plants, siding, and gutters wet the whole time. Respirators, gloves, and eye protection are on for every chemical job.
Step 7: Cleanup, Walkthrough, and Payment
We clean the driveway, walks, and side yard. Then we walk you through the before-and-after photos and explain how the treatment works and what to expect next. You can pay by cash, check, Zelle, or card, and we leave you with a thank-you. We’re not finished until you’re happy with the work.

Frequently Asked Questions
Most roof cleanings take two to six hours. The time grows with the size and pitch of your roof, how much growth is up there, and which package you book.
That’s normal, and it’s the treatment doing its job. Our soft wash treatment attacks the organic root systems of moss, algae, and lichen. Some of that growth dies off and rinses away over the following weeks, so your roof keeps improving after we leave. If anything we’re responsible for isn’t right, we come back and fix it at no charge.
Yes, because the roof treatment is a chemical application. We ask that pets stay inside while we work and for a couple of hours after we finish.
