Power Washing in Bloomingdale, NJ

Bloomingdale runs up the hillside toward Federal Hill, and the higher you go the more tree cover there is. Homes on those upper streets sit in shade most of the day, which keeps roofs damp and gives moss and lichen a genuine foothold rather than just a surface film. Lichen is the stubborn one. It grips the shingle and will not rinse off, and pressure-washing it away takes the granules with it.

Soft washing is the only correct answer. Low pressure, the right solution, and time. The growth dies, releases, and weathers off over the following weeks without a single shingle being damaged.

Down along the Pequannock River the issue shifts to damp siding and green-streaked decks. Same approach, different surface. Bloomingdale is a short run up Route 23 from us, so it is easy territory to service.
