Our Roof Cleaning Solutions
We offer thorough roof cleaning that targets common issues such as moss and mold while ensuring the longevity of various roofing materials. Our expertise covers effective cleaning methods and specialized care for tile roofs, all backed by skilled workmanship.
Advanced Cleaning
Our approach uses low-pressure washing combined with eco-friendly cleaning agents. This method removes dirt, algae, and debris without damaging the roof’s surface or underlying materials.
We avoid high-pressure washing, which can erode shingles or tiles. Instead, we rely on soft washing to protect your roof's integrity while ensuring all contaminants are eliminated.
Our team assesses the roof type before treatment to select the right chemical solution, improving efficiency and results. This tailored approach minimizes the risk of damage and promotes long-term cleanliness.
Moss and Mold Removal
Moss and mold buildup can trap moisture and cause premature roofing damage. We remove these organisms using a combination of manual techniques and carefully applied biocides.
Our process includes scraping or brushing off dense moss patches, followed by treating the area with anti-fungal solutions. This prevents regrowth and protects the roof’s structure.
We prioritize safety and environmental responsibility, using products that are effective yet safe for plants and surfaces around your home. Eliminating moss and mold improves both the roof’s appearance and performance.
Specialized Tile Roof Care
Tile roofs require distinct care to avoid cracking or dislodging individual tiles. We use precision cleaning methods suited to cement and clay tile roofs, ensuring thorough cleaning without compromising the material.
Our technicians inspect tile conditions before starting and adjust the cleaning pressure accordingly. We remove stains, algae, and moss that typically affect tiles, restoring their appearance.
Attention to detail and experienced workmanship guarantee that every tile remains secure and intact during the cleaning process. This specialized care extends the lifespan of your tile roof while maintaining its aesthetic appeal.
Benefits of Regular Roof Cleaning
Regular roof cleaning protects your investment by addressing common issues that reduce roof quality and durability. It helps maintain both the structural integrity and the visual appeal of your home, supporting long-term maintenance and preserving value.
Prolonging Roof Lifespan
By removing moss, algae, lichen, and debris, we prevent these elements from degrading roofing materials. These growths retain moisture, which can accelerate wear and cause water damage over time.
Regular cleaning also safeguards shingles or tiles from premature deterioration, helping to keep warranties intact. Maintaining a clean roof surface reduces the risk of costly repairs or full replacements, ultimately extending the effective life of your roofing system.
Enhancing Home Value
A well-maintained roof greatly improves curb appeal by showcasing a clean, intact exterior. This reflects positively on overall home maintenance and can increase marketability.
Clean roofs reveal architectural details that debris often hides, which adds to the aesthetic quality. Buyers tend to value homes with clear evidence of professional upkeep, making regular roof cleaning a practical step toward preserving or increasing property value.
Preventative Maintenance
Cleaning your roof is an essential part of ongoing maintenance that helps identify potential issues early. By clearing blockages and buildup, we avoid structural problems like water infiltration or pest infestations.
This proactive approach helps us protect your investment by reducing the likelihood of expensive
emergency repairs. It also supports the efficiency of roof treatments and coatings designed to
protect surfaces, ensuring your roofing system remains in optimal condition.

Frequently Asked Questions About Roof Cleaning
How much does professional roof cleaning cost?
Professional roof cleaning costs vary based on your roof's size, pitch, and condition, typically ranging from $0.30 to $0.75 per square foot in the Santa Monica area. Most residential homes require an investment between $400 to $1,200 for a complete cleaning service. We provide free estimates that consider your specific roof type, accessibility, and cleaning requirements to give you an accurate quote with no hidden fees.
How often should I have my roof professionally cleaned?
We recommend professional roof cleaning every 2-3 years for most Santa Monica homes, though this can vary based on your roof's exposure to trees, coastal moisture, and local environmental factors. Homes with significant tree coverage or those prone to algae and moss growth may benefit from annual cleaning. Regular cleaning extends your roof's lifespan and maintains your home's curb appeal while preventing costly damage from organic buildup.
How long does roof cleaning take to complete?
Most residential roof cleaning projects take 3-6 hours to complete, depending on your roof's size and complexity. A typical single-story home usually requires half a day, while larger two-story homes may take a full day. We work efficiently to minimize disruption to your schedule while ensuring thorough cleaning and proper drying time for optimal results.
What's the best time of year for roof cleaning in Santa Monica?
The ideal time for roof cleaning in Santa Monica is during our dry season, typically from late spring through early fall (May through October). This timing allows for proper drying and reduces the risk of moisture-related issues. We avoid cleaning during rainy periods or when high winds are forecasted to ensure safety and effectiveness of our cleaning process.
Do you need to be home during roof cleaning service?
You don't need to be home during the entire roof cleaning process, but we prefer someone to be present at the start for a brief walkthrough and at completion for final inspection. We will coordinate with your schedule and can work around your availability. We'll provide advance notice of our arrival time and communicate throughout the service to keep you informed of our progress.
