NW Softwash & Roof Cleaning

About NW Softwash & Roof Cleaning

The rest of the year, NW Softwash washes moss and algae off Hockinson's barn and farmhouse roofs, the kind of green growth that thrives under this much steady Northwest rain. Winter brings a harder problem to the same rooflines: when a cold snap follows a wet stretch, as it often does out here, ice can dam up along the eaves of an older cedar-shake roof and send water back under the shingles instead of off the edge. The crew clears that buildup before it becomes a leak, working the same barns, outbuildings, and farmhouses it tends to the rest of the year, ladder set against roofs still damp with the last rain before the freeze. Hockinson's scattered, wide-open properties mean a lot of roofline to cover between one job and the next, more field driving than city work. A roof cleared of both moss and ice, water running free off the edge again — that's the job in both seasons, just handled differently.
