What's included

What's included in roof cleaning?

Every vetted pro does the job by the book, so it's done right the first time.

Safe, low-pressure wash

Your pro uses a gentle soft-wash, not a power blast that strips granules off your shingles.

Moss and algae removal

They remove the moss, algae, and black streaks that hold moisture and shorten roof life.

Protect the roof

A proper clean protects your shingles and can even help your roof reach its full lifespan.

Clear the gutters too

Your pro can clear the debris that washes down, so water flows off your roof.

Roof cleaning runs $300–$1,200 in 2026. A small soft-wash costs less; heavy moss removal costs more. Your price depends on roof size, pitch, and how much growth there is.
Yes. Moss holds water against the shingles and lifts them, which shortens roof life and can cause leaks. Removing it safely protects your roof.
High pressure is not — it strips the protective granules off shingles. A vetted pro uses a safe, low-pressure soft-wash that cleans without the damage.
Every few years, or sooner if you see moss or heavy streaks — more often in damp, shaded areas where growth is fast.
