Due to various weather conditions and pollutions which your roof is constantly exposed to, it’s advised to carry out roof cleaning once in a few years on regular basis.

Five main aspects that we will take into deliberation before presenting an estimation. Roof cleaning implies removing any kind of dirt, soot, and grime, as well as different decomposers such as moss, mildew, algae, lichen, and fungus from your roof which inevitably build upon it over time.

  • Square Footage of the Roof

  • Location

  • Surface Material

  • Equipment Needed

  • Severity Of Dirtiness

  • Diagram explaining roof pitch as the rise over run, with fractions from 1/12 to 18/12, showing different roof slopes.

    Pitch of the Roof

    The pitch, or steepness, of the roof, determines how the roof can be cautiously cleaned. The pitch is interpreted as how many inches the roof increases vertically for every 12 inches of horizontal run.The higher the pitch, the less likely it that our technician will actually place a foot on the roof. Any pitch higher than 9/12 is recognized to be steep.

  • Chart comparing roofing materials including clay tile, slate tile, concrete tile, metal, wood shingles, Spanish tile, and asphalt shingles, outlining their attributes like cost, durability, appearance, and installation.

    Roof Material

    Asphalt or concrete roofs are more straightforward to clean as the technicians can move more freely about the surface. With a tile roof, each step must be careful and measured so as to no break tiles.

  • Roof Condition

    Condition of Roof

    Most professionals will want to see the roof to gauge their current condition.  Expect to pay more if it has been years since anything has been done to the roof.  If an extensive brushing needs to be done, you will be charged for this work. The more time on the roof that is needed, the greater the surcharge.

  • Six different styles of roofs, including A-Frame, Bonnet, Butterfly, Gable & Valler, Flat, and Gable roof with Dormer Window.

    Overall Complexity of the Job

    Understand access to water to hook up equipment, ability to reach the roof, obstacles created by landscape, and general height, steepness, and layout of the roof. Roofs with multiple ledges or outcroppings will be more laborious to clean and thus require more time.
