This is a cedar shake roof cleaning job from a quarry-side home on Quarry Ln in The Quarry, Dublin, Ohio . This property includes both a main house and a detached garage — both with cedar shake roofs that needed treatment. The main house features a stone chimney with copper cap, a row of skylights, a wooden deck with pergola, and multiple complex hips and valleys. Dense hardwood canopy surrounds the property on all sides, creating the shade and moisture conditions that had turned the shakes a patchy gray-black with green moss accumulating around the skylights. After treatment, both structures returned to a warm golden-tan — while the neighbor's untreated roof next door tells the story of what this roof looked like just moments earlier.

The Quarry's Unique Microclimate
The Quarry on the Scioto sits in a natural limestone quarry basin along the Scioto River, creating a microclimate that accelerates organic growth on cedar shake roofs. The combination of river humidity, quarry-wall wind patterns, and dense mature tree canopy means these roofs weather faster than homes in surrounding Dublin neighborhoods. Homes on Quarry Ln sit at the heart of this environment — surrounded by hardwoods on all sides with limited direct sunlight reaching the roof surface. Read more about The Quarry →
The Transformation
The Quarry — Full Overhead with Neighbor Contrast (Before vs. After)
Cedar Shake
Same drone position, same property, 17 days apart. This is the showcase photo — a perfect angle-matched before and after from directly above. In the before, both the main house (left) and the detached garage (right) show gray-silver weathered shakes with dark patches. The stone chimney with copper cap, skylight, and wooden deck are all visible. After treatment, both structures glow a warm golden-tan. But the real story is on the right side of the after frame — the neighbor's untreated roof is still the same gray-black color this roof was just weeks ago. That contrast is impossible to miss.
Spot the Difference: Treated vs. Untreated
In the first slider's after photo, the neighbor's untreated cedar shake roof is clearly visible on the right side of the frame. Their roof is still the same gray-black color that this home's roof was before treatment. In The Quarry, where every home has a cedar shake, this kind of side-by-side comparison happens naturally — and it makes the transformation undeniable. The golden-tan of the treated roof versus the dark gray of the untreated one tells the whole story. It's not just about looking good, this roof is healthy again and ready to protect everything beneath it.
The Quarry — Chimney & Forza Van (Before vs. After)
Cedar Shake
The before shot zooms in on the main house from a different angle, showing the stone chimney with its copper cap, the skylight, and the complex network of hips and valleys. The dark patchy weathering is visible across every surface. The after shot pulls back slightly to reveal the full transformation — and there's the Forza van in the driveway, ladder rack loaded and ready. The golden-tan shakes are uniform across the entire main house, and the wooden deck and pergola frame the property beautifully.
The Quarry — Skylight Row Detail (Before vs. After)
Cedar Shake
This is the detail that matters most to homeowners — the close-up. The before shows the row of skylights surrounded by gray-green cedar shakes with leaf debris and green moss accumulating around the flashing. The complex hip and valley junction on the right is a moisture trap that accelerates growth. After treatment, the shakes around the skylights are a warm golden-tan, the debris has been cleared, and the complex roof geometry is clean and defined. This is the kind of detail you can only see from a drone — and the kind of result you can only get from a professional treatment.
The Final Result
The Quarry — Quarry Ln after treatment. The Quarry — Quarry Ln after treatment. Both the main house and the detached garage now carry the warm golden-tan that cedar shake is meant to show. The stone chimney, skylights, and wooden deck frame a property that looks completely renewed. The Forza van in the driveway is a reminder that this transformation happened in a single visit — no pressure washing, no mechanical force, just professional systems and chemistry doing what it does best.
