How we clean a tile roof
Tile roofs collect moss, lichen, algae streaks and dirt, most of all on the shady side. Heavy moss and lichen come off first, by hand, with brushes and gentle scraping. We take care not to damage the tiles.
Then, when the roof needs it, we give it a soft wash, which means low water pressure. On steep or peaked roofs we work with a safety harness.
Moss can grow back on a shady, damp roof over time, so we won't tell you it's gone for good.
Tile roof
Soft washed the entire roof no damage, no crazy pressure, just came out clean like it’s supposed to look.
Signs your roof needs a cleaning
- Dark streaks or green patches, most often on the shady side.
- Moss building up along the tiles.

- You're getting ready to list the house.
- Your insurer sent a notice about moss or algae.
- You're booking a gutter cleaning anyway.
Tile roof and pavers
I honestly didn’t think the roof could look red again, but it does. The whole house looks fresh, like 15 years of dirt just disappeared.
What happens on the day
- Before we come, tell us about skylights, solar panels, cracked tiles you know about and plants under the eaves.
- Ask us anything about the plan for your roof before we start.
- If your insurer asked about the roof, take your own dated photos before and after.
Roof and front steps
I was a little nervous about the roof honestly but he explained the whole process before starting and I felt comfortable right away.
Roof estimate
They flew a drone over the roof during the estimate and showed us exactly what was going on up there.
What changes the price
The price depends on the size and pitch of the roof, the number of stories, how much moss and buildup there is and how easy the roof is to reach. Adding gutter cleaning changes it too. We don't publish a price list, and every quote is free.
Photos help
Take a photo of each roof slope you can see from the street or yard, plus close-ups of moss or dark streaks. No need to climb up. If your insurer sent a notice, include their photo, and tell us if the house is one or two stories.
What customers say
Roof, siding and driveway
They used a soft wash technique on the roof and siding to safely get rid of all the buildup without any damage, and a standard power wash on the concrete driveway and walkways that made them look brand new.
Roof and gutters
Honestly, I didn’t realize how dirty everything had gotten until I saw the finished result. The roof looks great, the gutters are cleaned out, and the whole property feels fresher.

Roof cleaning questions
How do you clean a tile roof?
Heavy moss and lichen come off first, by hand, with brushes and gentle scraping. We take care not to damage the tiles. Then, when the roof needs it, we give it a soft wash, which means low water pressure. Send a few photos from the street or yard and we'll tell you what to expect.
What kinds of roofs do you clean?
Tile roofs. The roofs in our reviews are tile. If you have a different kind of roof, such as composition shingle, send us a photo and ask before you book.
Will moss grow back after you clean my roof?
Over time, it can. Moss and algae grow where a roof stays shady and damp, and most of our rain falls from November through March. A cleaning removes what's there now. We don't sell it as something that stops growth from coming back.
My insurance company flagged moss on my roof. What should I do?
Ask your insurer for the photo and exactly what they want fixed. If it's a cleaning issue and not damage, we can clean the roof. Take dated photos before and after and send them to your insurer. No one can promise what an insurer will decide, but clear photos help you make your case.
Do you clean gutters out, or just wash the outside?
We clean gutters out. Customers have booked it on its own and together with a roof cleaning. If you've seen water spilling over the edge or a downspout that doesn't drain, tell us when you book.
When should I book?
For gutters, before the rainy season. Most of the year's rain here falls from November through March. For roofs, siding and concrete, book whenever the buildup starts to bother you, or before you host, sell or list your home. Ask about timing when you request a quote.
