Expert Soft Wash Cleaning in Marion County, OR

Soft wash cleaning is a low-pressure method that removes moss, algae, black streaks, and organic staining from roofs and exterior surfaces without grinding away shingles or surface material. Marion County's wet winters and mild temperatures keep roofs damp for months at a time, giving moss and algae a long growing season on north-facing slopes and shaded surfaces. High-pressure washing strips granules and shortens roof life. Soft washing applies roof-safe cleaning solutions that break the bond between organic growth and the surface, then rinses it away at low pressure. The result is a clean roof that has been treated at the root of the problem, not just scrubbed on the surface. First Aid Roof Care has cleaned roofs across Marion County, Polk County, Linn County, Benton County, Clackamas County, Salem, Albany, Aumsville, and surrounding communities. If your roof shows green patches, dark streaks, or visible staining, soft wash cleaning is the right call before that growth works deeper into the surface. Call First Aid Roof Care to get started.

Yes, soft washing uses low pressure and roof-safe cleaning solutions that remove growth without damaging shingles. It is the cleaning method recommended for asphalt, cedar shake, and tile roofs.

We battled moss on our roof for years until we gave Mark a call. His company did an excellent job at a reasonable price. We have them come back every year to treat it, for a fraction of the price the original cleaning costs. We. haven’t had a problem since we have gone with them. They remind us once a year, when it is time to have it done. We appreciate that because we would not remember. Mark is very personable and professional. We would highly recommend this company !

We have been so impressed with First Aid Roof Care! They came out and cleaned our roof after providing us with a very reasonable estimate. From start to finish, they were professional, reliable, and respectful of our property. They cleaned everything up when they were finished and even took the time to explain what they had seen and noticed while working on our roof. When we sold our house and purchased a new home, we knew exactly who we wanted to call—and had them come out to our new home as well. Once again, we were just as pleased with their work and service. Booking was easy, the owners were responsive, and they followed through exactly as promised with the scheduled day and time. It's refreshing to find a company that is dependable, knowledgeable, and genuinely cares about doing a great job. We will absolutely be using First Aid Roof Care again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for roof care

I cannot recommend First Aid Roof Care enough! From start to finish, the entire experience was exceptional. Mark is incredibly knowledgeable, professional, honest, and genuinely takes pride in the work he does. It’s rare these days to find someone with this level of experience who still puts so much care into their customers and the quality of their work. Communication was fantastic, everything was explained clearly, and there was absolutely no pressure or trying to sell us something we didn’t need. You can tell immediately that Mark knows roofs inside and out and truly cares about helping people protect their homes rather than just making a sale. The quality of the work speaks for itself, and the attention to detail was impressive. Reliable, knowledgeable, fairly priced, and just genuinely great to work with. If you need roof cleaning, moss treatment, repairs, maintenance, or even just someone knowledgeable to take a look at your roof, call First Aid Roof Care. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone. 10/10 experience and absolutely a company worth supporting!

Carrie Cornman Google review · August 2026

Since I live in the country surrounded by trees, my house is prone to having moss. Mark has done moss treatment for me for 5 years now and the roof looks great. He also inspects the roof and has done some repairs for free with the moss treatment, and also cleans the gutters. Great service! I highly recommend him.

George Thurston Google review · October 2026

Mark does an exceptional job on my roof. I have never had a piece of moss on my roof since I stared using Mark several years ago.. My roof is spotless when work is completed and cleanup is the same.. Mark also checks for any issues which could be a problem and either repairs himself or recommends an alternative.. I cannot recommend First Aid Roof Care highly enough..
