Middletown NJ Roof Cleaning & House Washing: The Ultimate Soft Wash Restoration

When a Middletown homeowner called Above & Beyond Softwash about a roof and exterior that had turned green from humidity and nearby trees, we knew this was a full property reset job. The project included roof washing, gutter cleaning, siding and house washing, and focused attention on bluestone stairs and a small cedar roof that had become a safety concern.

We started with the gutters, blowing them out to restore proper drainage. That step is simple but important, because gutters that do not flow can keep moisture against the roof and siding. With water moving properly again, we moved on to the roof cleaning portion of the job.

For the roof we used a low-pressure soft wash, never a pressure washer. As I told the homeowners, a pressure washer on shingles is a fast track to needing a new roof. Our soft wash kills moss and lichen at the root, and you can actually see the growth turn white when it is dead, then wash away safely with the next rain. This restores the roof color while protecting the manufacturer warranty.

The back entrance had heavy algae build-up on the bluestone stairs, making them dangerously slick. We treated the bluestone and the small cedar roof beside it, removing the algae and eliminating the slip hazard. The natural look of the stone came back, and the entryway was safer when we were done.

Because the roof work was already underway, the homeowners opted for a bundled house wash. We soft washed the siding, windows, trim, shed, and even cleaned around the jacuzzi. The north side of the house had been a solid wall of algae, which is common in Jersey, but our system removed it without damaging siding or forcing water behind walls.

Protecting the property and landscaping is part of the process. Before any solution hit the exterior, we taped off electrical outlets and pre-soaked the landscaping. Plants and grass were kept saturated before, during, and after the wash, and we used a plant neutralizer to protect flowers and shrubs.

The homeowners mentioned in their review that they appreciated the "meticulous" pace. That matters to us. This project was owner-operated and expert-executed, with no crews of rookies, so every square inch received careful attention and a consistent finish.

Pro Tip for Middletown homeowners: moss acts like a sponge, holding moisture against shingles and lifting them, which is how leaks begin. If you see green clumps on your roof, you should treat them now with a soft wash to avoid an expensive replacement down the road, which could cost around $20k.
