How we count roof cleaning

Estimate your roof. Get a ballpark.

We price roof cleaning by square foot of roof surface. Your footprint and how steep the roof is gets you close — skylights are counted on top.

A ballpark — exact measurement and price on the visit, before any work.

The rules

Three rules cover it.

RULE 01

Roof area is bigger than the footprint

Pitch adds surface: a typical roof is about 1.2 × the footprint, a steep one 1.35 ×. Flat roofs are 1 ×.

RULE 02

Skylights are counted separately

Each one is $25 on top of the roof — exterior glass cleaned and the frame wiped down.

RULE 03

Material, pitch and moss can adjust the quote

Composition shingle and metal are our bread and butter. Tile, very steep pitches or a thick moss carpet get a firm number on the visit.

Quick answers

Before you measure.

Do you pressure wash roofs?

No. A roof-safe treatment that clears moss and buildup without lifting shingles.

How do I know my pitch?

If you can walk it comfortably it’s low; typical is the usual suburban slope; if it looks like a ski jump, it’s steep. We confirm on the visit.

Is moss removal included?

Normal moss is. A thick, years-old carpet may need an extra step, quoted on the visit.

Gutters at the same time?

Yes — and it’s the smart order: roof first, then gutters catch what came down.

We’ll measure it for you on a free visit.

The exact price comes before any work begins — and you approve it from your phone.
