Lift those black streaks and protect your roof.
Look up at your shingles and see dark streaks or patchy stains? That “dirty” look is usually not dirt at all. In our coastal New Jersey climate, most of those marks come from algae and bacteria feeding on your roof. Over time they spread, trap moisture, and make a roof look years older than it really is.
CamoVets restores roofs across Monmouth and Ocean County, including Manahawkin, Barnegat, Toms River, Brick, Lakewood, Jackson, Long Beach Island, Forked River, Lanoka Harbor, Seaside Heights, Seaside Park, Lavallette, Middletown, Howell, Long Branch, Asbury Park, and nearby towns. Our veteran-led crews use a proven soft washing process to clean shingles safely, improve curb appeal, and help extend the life of your roof.
What’s Really on Your Roof?
Those black streaks you see on roofs around the Jersey Shore are often caused by a type of blue-green algae commonly known as Gloeocapsa magma. Along with that, roofs can host:
- Algae and mildew in shaded or damp areas
- Moss and lichen clinging to shingle edges
- Airborne dirt and pollution that cling to the surface
Left alone, this growth holds moisture against the roof, which can weaken shingles over time and make granule loss more likely. A clean roof sheds water better, reflects light the way it was designed to, and instantly sharpens the appearance of your home.
Our Soft Wash Roof Cleaning Method
CamoVets uses soft washing, not high-pressure blasting, to clean roofs in Monmouth and Ocean County. Soft washing:
- Uses low-pressure water similar to garden hose pressure
- Relies on water-based, biodegradable cleaning solutions designed for roofing
- Breaks down algae, mildew, and organic growth at their source
We apply the solution evenly across the roofing surface, allow it to work, then gently rinse. Stains start to release, streaks fade, and the roof color returns without the risk of stripping away shingle granules.
Every CamoVets roof technician is trained and certified in soft washing techniques. That means:
- No aggressive pressure against your shingles
- No cutting corners around vents, skylights, or flashing
- Consistent, repeatable results across the entire roof plane
You get a roof that looks cleaner now and stays cleaner longer.
Local Service for Shore Homes, Suburbs & Rentals
Roofs in Ocean and Monmouth County take more than the usual amount of abuse. Salt air, humidity, tree cover, and seasonal storms all play a part. We clean:

- Shore houses and vacation properties on LBI and along the coast

FAQs About Roof Cleaning
How much does roof cleaning cost?
Pricing depends on roof size, pitch, complexity, and how heavy the staining is. A simple single-story ranch in Barnegat will price differently than a multi-level home in Middletown with several peaks and dormers. Share a few details with our team (or photos), and we’ll provide a clear, no-pressure estimate.
How long do roof cleaning results last?
In our climate, most homeowners see clean results for several years, especially when surrounding trees are trimmed and gutters stay clear. Because soft washing treats the organic growth, not just the surface discoloration, it typically outlasts simple rinsing or DIY cleaning attempts.
Is roof cleaning safe for my shingles?
Yes—when done with the right method. We never use high pressure on asphalt shingles. Soft washing relies on chemistry and time, not force, so the protective granules stay where they belong while stains are removed.
Do you clean roofs on rental or commercial properties?
We do. Our team regularly cleans roofs on rental homes, multi-unit buildings, and smaller commercial properties across Ocean and Monmouth County. For larger buildings and office exteriors, ask us about our commercial roof cleaning and exterior office cleaning services so everything ties together visually.
If the roof on your home or property in Monmouth or Ocean County has black streaks, moss patches, or just looks tired, it may not be time for replacement at all—it may simply need a professional soft wash. Let our veteran-led team restore the look of your roof so your home stands out for the right reasons.
