What Clean Really Looks Like

Your roof stops looking like it’s wearing a dirty sweater. Those black streaks, green moss patches, and years of buildup disappear, and suddenly your whole house looks newer.

But here’s what matters more than appearances. Clean roofs last longer. The algae and moss eating away at your shingles stop doing damage. Your roof can actually do its job protecting your home instead of slowly deteriorating under layers of organic growth.

You also get your property value back. A clean roof can add thousands to your home’s worth, and it definitely stops neighbors from wondering if you’ve given up on home maintenance. Plus, you avoid the much bigger expense of premature roof replacement because you let the problem grow unchecked.

Our Roof Washing Process

Safe Cleaning That Actually Works

We start with a thorough inspection of your roof to identify problem areas and check for any existing damage. This tells us exactly what we’re dealing with and helps us choose the right approach for your specific roof type and condition.

Next comes the actual cleaning using low-pressure techniques that remove stains without blasting your shingles off. We use professional-grade solutions that kill algae and moss at the root, not just clean the surface. This means the results last longer and your roof stays cleaner.

We finish by cleaning up completely and doing a final walkthrough with you. You’ll see exactly what we accomplished, and we’ll point out anything else you should keep an eye on. The whole process typically takes a few hours, depending on your roof size and condition.

Everything Your Roof Needs

You get complete algae, moss, and stain removal using methods that won’t damage your shingles. We handle everything from light discoloration to heavy moss growth that’s been building up for years.

We also clean your gutters as part of the process because dirty roofs create dirty gutters, and clean roofs work better with clean gutters. It’s all connected, and we treat it that way.

You get honest assessment of your roof’s condition too. If we spot loose shingles, damaged flashing, or other issues while we’re up there, we’ll let you know. We’re not roofers trying to sell you a new roof, but we’ll tell you what you should keep an eye on or have checked by a roofing contractor.

Will pressure washing damage my shingles or void my roof warranty?

High-pressure washing can absolutely damage shingles, which is why we don’t use it. We use low-pressure soft washing techniques specifically designed for roofs. This method cleans thoroughly without the force that can lift, crack, or strip granules from your shingles. Most roof warranties are voided by high-pressure cleaning, but soft washing is generally acceptable. We always recommend checking your specific warranty terms, and we’re happy to explain our process to your roofing manufacturer if needed. The key is using the right pressure and the right cleaning solutions for your roof type.

How often should I have my roof professionally cleaned?

Most roofs in our area benefit from professional cleaning every 2-3 years, but it depends on your specific situation. Homes with lots of tree coverage or north-facing roof sections tend to need cleaning more frequently because they stay damp longer and grow algae faster. If you’re seeing black streaks, green patches, or moss growth, it’s time for cleaning regardless of when you last had it done. Waiting too long means the growth gets deeper into your shingles and becomes harder to remove completely. Regular cleaning is much easier and less expensive than dealing with heavy buildup that’s been growing for years.

What's the difference between roof cleaning and roof washing?

These terms are often used interchangeably, but there can be differences in approach. Roof cleaning typically refers to the complete process of removing algae, moss, stains, and debris using appropriate methods for your roof type. Roof washing specifically refers to the cleaning solution and rinse process. Some companies use “washing” to mean high-pressure cleaning, which can be damaging. When you’re getting quotes, ask specifically about their methods and pressure levels. What matters is that they’re using safe, effective techniques that clean thoroughly without damaging your shingles or voiding warranties.

How much does professional roof cleaning cost in Dunlap?

Roof cleaning costs vary based on roof size, pitch, condition, and accessibility, but most residential jobs in our area range from $300-800. Single-story homes with light staining cost less than two-story homes with heavy moss growth. Steep roofs or homes with complex rooflines require more time and safety equipment, which affects pricing. We provide upfront quotes based on your specific situation, not surprise pricing after we start. The investment is typically much less than premature roof replacement, and clean roofs can add significant value to your property. We’re happy to provide a free estimate so you know exactly what to expect.

Can I clean my roof myself to save money?

DIY roof cleaning is possible but comes with serious risks. Safety is the biggest concern – roof work causes thousands of injuries every year, and wet roofs are especially slippery. Beyond safety, most homeowners don’t have the right equipment or cleaning solutions to do the job effectively. Using the wrong pressure or chemicals can damage shingles, kill landscaping, or create bigger problems. Store-bought cleaners rarely handle heavy algae or moss growth. If you do attempt it yourself, never use high pressure, always prioritize safety equipment, and test any cleaning solution on a small area first. For most homeowners, professional cleaning is worth the investment for safety and results.

Will roof cleaning help with ice dams in winter?

Clean roofs don’t directly prevent ice dams, but they can help in a few ways. Removing moss and debris improves water flow off your roof, so water doesn’t pool and freeze in problem areas. Clean gutters (which we include) also help water drain properly instead of backing up and freezing. However, ice dams are primarily caused by heat loss from your attic and inadequate insulation or ventilation. If you’re dealing with ice dams, roof cleaning is a good start, but you’ll likely need to address attic insulation, air sealing, or ventilation issues too. We can spot some of these problems during cleaning and point you toward the right solutions.
