Unlock the Secrets to Cedar Shake Elegance:

KOS Cleaning's Top-Rated Soft Washing Services on Long Island

Maintaining the timeless beauty of cedar shake siding and roofing requires more than just routine cleaning; it demands a meticulous approach to combat the challenges posed by mold, algae, and moss. These natural invaders, if left unchecked, can ruin the aesthetics and compromise the integrity of cedar structures. Thankfully, KOS Cleaning stands as the beacon of top-rated soft washing services on Long Island, ensuring your cedar shakes remain pristine for years to come.

Understanding the Cedar Shake Threats: Mold, Algae, and Moss

Cedar shakes, with their rustic appeal, are susceptible to the unwelcome presence of mold, algae, and moss. These nuisances not only tarnish the visual charm of your property but can also lead to more severe issues over time.


  • Mold: Thriving in damp and shaded areas, mold not only discolors cedar but can penetrate its fibers, compromising structural integrity. Left unaddressed, it can escalate into a costly problem.
  • Algae: Appearing as greenish streaks, algae infestations not only detract from the natural beauty of cedar but also create a slippery surface, posing a safety hazard.
  • Moss: Flourishing in shaded and moist environments, moss not only adds an unsightly layer but also retains moisture, potentially causing premature decay of the cedar.
