Roof Cleaning in Manchester, NH
No More Black Streaks. No More Moss. Just a Roof That Looks Like New.
The Problem You Didn’t Know Was Growing Over Your Head
Your roof might not be leaking-but is it healthy?
You glance up and see black streaks. Maybe even green patches.
It’s not dirt—it’s Gloeocapsa magma, a type of algae that feeds on your shingles.
Left untreated, it shortens roof life, increases energy costs, and tanks your curb appeal.
At Brighter Homes Power Washing, we’re experts in soft wash roof cleaning—helping homeowners in Manchester, NH and nearby towns extend the life of their roofs and restore their home’s beauty without causing damage.
What’s Eating Your Roof?
If your roof has black streaks, moss, or lichen, here’s what you’re really seeing:
Black Streaks: Algae (Gloeocapsa magma) feeding on shingle limestone
Green Patches: Moss, which traps moisture and lifts shingles
White/Gray Spots: Lichen—a stubborn mix of fungus and algae that bonds to your roof
These invaders thrive in New Hampshire’s damp climate—especially in shaded areas found in Bedford, Goffstown, and Hooksett. They’re not just ugly. They:
Break down shingles
Create moisture pockets
Raise home energy bills by darkening the roof (absorbing more heat)
What Is Soft Wash Roof Cleaning?
Soft washing is the only method recommended by shingle manufacturers and the Asphalt Roofing Manufacturers Association (ARMA).
It’s Not Pressure Washing
High-pressure blasts will tear granules off shingles, dent flashing, and ruin roof warranties.
We Use Low-Pressure, Biodegradable Solutions
Our soft wash system applies an eco-friendly cleaning solution that:
- Kills algae and moss at the root
- Gently lifts stains
- Rinses clean with minimal water pressure
It’s safe for asphalt shingles, metal roofs, slate, tile, and more.

Why Roof Cleaning Matters
Your roof is a major investment—why not take care of it like one?
Avoid a $10,000+ Roof Replacement
Algae and moss eat away shingles over time. Soft washing keeps your roof structurally sound for years longer.
Lower Energy Bills
Dirty roofs absorb more heat. A clean roof reflects sunlight and helps reduce cooling costs.
Boost Curb Appeal Instantly
Streaks and stains drag down the look (and value) of your home. Roof cleaning can raise your perceived property value.
Maintain Insurance & Warranty Compliance
Some policies and manufacturers require roof maintenance to stay valid.

FAQs About Roof Cleaning
Does soft washing really kill moss and algae?
Yes. Our solution penetrates the roots and completely kills the growth. Moss will brown, dry up, and fall off naturally over the next few weeks.
Will you damage my shingles?
Never. We use a low-pressure method recommended by shingle manufacturers to protect your roof’s integrity.
How long does roof cleaning take?
Most homes are completed in 2–4 hours depending on size and severity of growth.
Is it safe for pets and plants?
Yes. We pre-wet all landscaping and use pet-safe, biodegradable solutions.
Do I need to be home?
No, but we do love doing a walkthrough with you afterward to ensure you’re 100% happy.
Trusted. Experienced. Skilled.
Homeowners Say It Best
We were about to replace our roof in Londonderry. A friend recommended Brighter Homes. After one cleaning, it looked 10 years newer. Saved us thousands.
Our home in Deerfield had heavy moss growing on the roof. I was worried about damage. They cleared it and left zero mess. Our neighbors asked who we used the next day.
Five stars. They showed up early, explained the whole process, and were incredibly respectful of the property. Will be calling again for house washing in the spring.
See the Difference for Yourself
You may not notice the streaks until they’re gone. Then suddenly, your house pops. Your roof looks brand new. And your neighbors ask, “Who cleaned your roof?”
