What we clean

Shingle, tile and metal roofs we clean.

Patrick cleans shingle, tile and metal roofs with a soft wash. If your roof is another material, tell us when you ask and we will say whether we can help before you book.

  • Shingle roofs

    Shingles pick up dark streaks, green film and algae too, most of all on shaded slopes. They get the same low pressure soft wash.

  • Tile roofs

    Barrel and flat tile hold algae, mildew and dark streaks, most of all on shaded slopes.

  • Metal roofs

    Metal collects streaks and film too. The method is chosen for the finish.

  • What we look for

    Dark streaks, green film, moss and buildup sitting on and between the roofing.

Not sure about yours? Describe the roof and send a photo, and we will tell you plainly whether a soft wash fits. Roof and house washing can be done together. Ask for a combined estimate and we list each surface separately.

The method

A soft wash suited to the roof.

A roof is not a driveway. Force can loosen or damage roofing, so we use low pressure and a cleaning solution that does the work. The plants below the roofline are covered first.

  1. Aerial view over a clay tile roof with several ridges and a chimney, waterfront homes and blue sky behind

    Look at the roof

    We start with the material, its condition and its age as far as you know it. The condition decides the method.

  2. Water spray over the eave of a gray two story house, with a white gutter along the tile roof edge

    Soft wash

    Low pressure and a cleaning solution made for the roof lift the algae, mildew and streaks. We do not blast the surface.

  3. Water arcing up under the roof edge above a yellow garage door, with the gutter line along the eave

    Rinse and check

    A gentle rinse carries the buildup away, and we look over the finished roof from the ground.

Preparation

Preparation around your property.

A few things set up the day. Most of them are on our side.

  • Plants and landscaping

    Plants below the roofline are covered before we start, and we clean up after the job. Reviewers describe this by name.

  • Access and setup

    Tell us about gates, pets and where we can set up. We need an outdoor water source, confirmed beforehand.

  • Fragile things below

    Planters, screens and decor under the roofline should be moved or pointed out before we arrive.

Cleaning is not a repair. Cracked tiles, leaks and worn roofing need a roofer, so tell us anything you already know about the roof.

Cost and access

Roof cleaning cost, and what affects it.

Roof size, material, condition and how easy it is to reach all change the price. Weather affects scheduling too, so we agree a day with you when you approve the written estimate. We do not guess prices without seeing the roof.

What moves the price

  • Roof size and the number of stories
  • Shingle, tile or metal, and the condition of the surface
  • How much growth is on the roof
  • Access, including gates and where we set up
  • Whether the house is washed in the same visit
Both

Roof and house in one estimate

Roof cleaning and house washing are listed as separate surfaces in the same written estimate, so you see what each one covers. Ask us about combining them.

Keep it up

Keep the roof looking clean.

Growth returns at its own pace, depending on shade, trees and the roof material. We do not set one interval for every roof.

Good to know

  • Look from the ground

    Never climb onto a roof to check it. Streaks and film show from the yard on a bright day.

  • Note where it returns first

    Shaded slopes usually show growth first. Tell us where when you ask about the next clean.

  • Add the walls

    Walls, soffits and trim get their own soft wash, see house washing.

How it works

From first call to a clean roof.

Four steps, and you know what is coming at each one.

  1. Talk it through

    Call, text or send the form. Tell us what you see and add photos if you can. When a job needs it, we come and look in person.

  2. Get a written estimate

    It lists what is included and why. Nothing is scheduled until you approve it.

  3. Prep and work

    We send preparation instructions and agree access and setup. Plants below the roofline are covered, and then we soft wash the roof.

  4. Walk it, then pay

    We check the finished job with you and go over any aftercare. Payment comes after that, and we follow up to make sure you are happy.

Questions

Before you book the wash.

What roof types does Patrick clean?
Close portrait of a smiling man

Shingle, tile and metal roofs. If your roof is another material, ask us to confirm it is suitable before you book.

Do you use high pressure on a roof?
Close portrait of a smiling man

No. We soft wash roofs, which means low pressure and a cleaning solution. The method is chosen for the material and the condition we find.

Can I combine roof and house washing?
Close portrait of a smiling man

Yes. Patrick offers a roof cleaning package with house washing. Your estimate lists each surface and any preparation needed. See house washing.

Does the paver warranty cover my roof?
Close portrait of a smiling man

The 3 year minimum warranty is for paver sealing, not roof cleaning. Ask for the terms that apply to your roof job instead of assuming.

Will cleaning repair a damaged roof?
Close portrait of a smiling man

No. A soft wash removes growth. It is not a repair, and it is not an inspection of the roof. Cracked tiles, leaks and worn roofing need a roofer, so tell us about anything you already know.
