Your Cedar Roof
Deserves to Be Preserved,
Not Replaced
Professional cedar roof cleaning, sealing & life extension for premium homes across NJ & CT. We extend cedar shake roof life by 10–15 years — saving you tens of thousands over full replacement.
Most Cedar Homeowners Are Told
Replacement Is the Only Option
Cedar shake roofs are among the most beautiful roofing systems available but they require specialized care. Without proper preservation, moss, algae, and UV damage cause premature deterioration, leading contractors to push full replacements costing $20,000–$40,000+.
At Lion Renew, we take a different approach one rooted in preservation science, not sales pressure.
Black Staining & Moss Growth
Algae and organic matter trap moisture, accelerating wood rot beneath the surface. We remove them at the source safely.
UV Damage & Color Loss
Cedar grays and becomes brittle over time. Our sealers restore natural oils and protect against UV penetration.
Premature Replacement Pressure
Most cedar roofs can be preserved for another 10–15 years. Replacement is rarely the only answer just the most profitable one for others.

Homeowners Ask
Real questions homeowners search for answered honestly by our team.
A well-maintained cedar shake roof can last 30 to 50 years. Without regular cleaning and sealing, moss, algae, and moisture damage can shorten that lifespan significantly sometimes to 15 to 20 years. Our preservation process helps cedar roofs reach their full potential lifespan.
In most cases, black staining, green moss, and graying are surface issues that respond very well to professional cleaning and sealing — not signs that you need replacement. A free assessment from our team will give you an honest answer. We only recommend replacement when the wood is genuinely beyond repair.
Most professional cedar roof cleaning projects range from approximately $3,000 to $8,000+, while full clean-and-seal systems typically range from $6,000 to $15,000+ for larger or more complex roofs
No. High-pressure washing can split, crack, and damage cedar wood fibers, accelerating deterioration rather than preventing it. We use soft-wash, low-pressure methods with biodegradable solutions which effectively remove moss and algae without harming the wood or your landscaping.
For most cedar roofs in NJ and CT, we recommend a professional cleaning and sealing every 3 to 5 years depending on tree coverage, shade, and moisture exposure. Regular maintenance is far more cost-effective than waiting until serious damage sets in.
Black staining is typically caused by algae, mold, or mildew growth on the cedar surface. It is a sign that moisture is being trapped and that cleaning is overdue but it does not necessarily mean the wood is damaged underneath. Professional cleaning can remove it completely and our sealers help prevent it from returning.
