Here’s the deal: in New England, your roof takes a beating—humid summers, leaf dumps in fall, nor’easters, and freeze-thaw all winter. If roof care isn’t on your maintenance list, problems stack up fast. Why roof cleaning matters here Algae & moss love our climate. Humid summers fuel black streaks (algae) and moss that holds moisture. Come winter, that trapped water freezes, expands, and can lift or crack shingles. Leaves = moisture = rot . Fall debris soaks up water and slows drying, inviting mold and decay. Ice dams get worse. Clogged gutters and debris on the roof trap meltwater, backing it under shingles. Energy & curb appeal. Dark growth absorbs heat in summer and kills curb appeal year-round. A clean roof looks better and can help the whole home perform better. Warranty & lifespan . Many shingle warranties expect routine maintenance. Keeping the roof clean helps protect your investment. Your Options Do nothing - You’ll likely replace the roof sooner—and pay a lot more than routine cleaning. DIY - Tall ladders, slick shingles, tricky chemistry, and stubborn growth (lichen, moss) make this risky and often ineffective. Regrowth happens fast without the right treatment. Hire pros (the smart play) - Zecco uses a low-pressure soft wash designed for asphalt shingles and other materials—no blasting, no shingle damage. Our biodegradable solution removes algae, moss, mold, and lichen at the root, then slows regrowth. We protect landscaping, work safely, and leave the roof looking fresh without the “pressure washer scar” you’ve seen on driveways. When to schedule in a 4-season climate Spring: Clear winter grime, check for freeze-thaw damage, set the roof up for summer. Fall: Remove leaves, treat growth, and clear gutters to reduce ice-dam risk. After major storms: Quick inspection catches issues before they become leaks. Signs your roof is due for a cleaning Black streaks, green fuzz (moss), granules in gutters, lifted/curling shingles, or frequent ice dams. Bottom line : a clean roof lasts longer, handles New England weather better, and keeps your home looking sharp. Want a quick, no-pressure estimate? Zecco can assess your roof, explain the plan, and get you scheduled before the weather window closes.
