Thanks for taking a look around our page! We're Pure Clean NW, the GOATs of roof cleaning located right here in Portland at 1327 SE Tacoma St, #162. Our commitment is simple: provide top-tier roof cleaning services to the residents and businesses in our immediate vicinity, ensuring your property's roof remains the protective shield it's meant to be.
Living in the Pacific Northwest brings unique challenges for your roof. The damp climate, frequent rain, and overcast skies can create perfect conditions for the growth of algae, moss, and lichen. These organic growths, while seemingly innocuous, can accumulate over time, darkening your roof's surface and potentially trapping moisture, leading to premature deterioration and impacting your home's curb appeal and energy efficiency.
At Pure Clean NW, we specialize in tackling these Northwest-specific roof issues head-on. Our expertise lies in the meticulous removal of algae (often referred to as "black streak" algae), moss, and lichen from residential and commercial roofs. We understand the nuances of Portland's environment and the specific techniques required to restore your roof's original color, protect its integrity, and extend its lifespan.
Our Core Service: Expert Roof Cleaning
Our primary focus is comprehensive roof cleaning designed to combat the common adversaries of Portland roofs:
1. Algae (Irritant Algae or Gloeocapsa Majalis) Removal:
This dark, greenish-black algae is a primary concern for many Portland homeowners. It not only stains the lighter-colored roofing materials (like asphalt shingles) but can also produce acids that degrade the shingle surface over time. Our specialized cleaning solutions and techniques are formulated to safely and effectively remove algae without damaging the underlying shingles. We use methods that penetrate the surface to lift the algae spores, revealing the clean, white or lighter-colored substrate beneath.
2. Moss Removal:
Moss thrives in moist, shaded areas and clings stubbornly to roof surfaces. It can trap moisture, leading to granule loss and potential leaks if left unchecked. Our process involves carefully loosening and removing moss growth without scratching or damaging the roofing material. We understand the importance of removing moss thoroughly to prevent regrowth.
3. Lichen Removal:
Lichen, while less common than moss or algae in some Portland conditions, can also discolor roofing and potentially harbor moisture. We employ similar specialized techniques to remove lichen safely and effectively, ensuring your roof looks its best.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: How often should I get my roof cleaned in Portland?
A: In the Pacific Northwest climate, including Portland, factors like tree coverage, roof pitch, and existing growth dictate frequency. Generally, a professional roof cleaning is recommended every 2-5 years. Signs like significant darkening, visible moss patches, or accumulated granules may indicate the need for service sooner.
Q2: Is roof cleaning safe for my roof shingles?
A: Absolutely. Pure Clean NW uses advanced, calibrated equipment and roof-safe cleaning solutions specifically designed for Portland's roofing materials. Our trained technicians employ techniques that effectively remove algae, moss, and lichen without damaging the shingles themselves.
Q3: Will the cleaning prevent future moss or algae growth?
A: While cleaning removes existing growth, it doesn't provide a permanent guarantee against future growth. Portland's weather is conducive to these organisms. Regular maintenance and addressing underlying factors (like gutter function or tree branches) can help manage recurrence. We recommend discussing preventative measures during your consultation.
Q4: Do I need to be home during the roof cleaning process?
A: While our team focuses solely on the roof, it's helpful if someone can meet us at the property (1327 SE Tacoma St, #162) to provide access information and answer any immediate questions. However, it's not strictly necessary for you to be present unless you prefer to oversee the work.
Q5: What should I prepare for my roof cleaning appointment?
A: We handle most of the preparations. Just ensure our team has clear access to the roof from your ladder or access point. If there are specific areas of concern you'd like us to focus on, note them down beforehand. We'll discuss any specific questions or concerns you have during our initial contact.
