ROOF CLEANING
OREGON WASH
How we clean your roof:
Roof cleaning is done by hand. We use roof cleaning brushes to make sure all moss is removed.
After all visible moss is cleared, we use our blowers to make sure all the smaller debris is removed.
We will do a thorough job cleaning the debris that falls below. It will go in the buckets that we take with us to a recycling center.
After your roof is fully cleared of debris, we apply a treatment to target and eliminate any remaining moss spores at their source.
Your roof is guaranteed to remain moss-free for a minimum of two years.
Safety is our top priority, which is why our team always uses harnesses when working on your roof.
Our ladders have adjustable legs to safely work on uneven surfaces.
If we see any non-repairable issues, we will notify you immediately so that you can replace your roof.
Things to consider:
Looking to protect your roof with preventative care?
Services starting at $200.
If your roof is already moss-free and you want to keep it looking its best, be sure to apply a preventative treatment once a year. A once-a-year application targets and kills active spores stopping moss at the root, before it has a chance to grow. With yearly treatments, you can keep your roof moss-free and in great condition. The best time of year to apply these annual treatments is when you are scheduling your annual gutter cleaning.
Roof treatment quotes are available by email, phone, or in-person. Roof cleaning quotes must be done in-person or by current photos so we can view the existing moss. Most of the time we can look up your home on google maps. Please let us know if your home is two and a half stories, or three stories in the back. We do own a 40-foot ladder but for this we'll come out to make sure it can be done safely.
Roof cleaning and treating is all exterior work, so you do not need to be home. Just make sure your water is turned on and we can email you an invoice. If you prefer to be home, we can schedule a day when you are there to do the job.
Treating your roof is critical for good maintenance
If you can see moss on your roof from the ground, it’s time to remove it. If you let it grow, it will reduce the effective life of your roof, deform your shingles and cause them to be prone to leakage and catching wind. This can result in shingles blowing off the roof, all of which will sooner or later require expensive repairs or replacement.
Moss removal or roof cleaning alone simply removes the visible moss, but leaves the roots (rhizomes) and spores that are left behind to regrow. Only an herbicide can kill and slow down future growth.
How frequently your roof needs treating will depend on how much sun or shade your roof has. We are happy to recommend the right service plan for your roof. In general, all composite roofs should have preventative treatment at least every three years.
Keeping your roof clean saves you money
Your roof is one of the most expensive systems in your home to replace, and must be maintained to ensure that it lasts for its scheduled life or beyond. Failure to maintain your roof may cause it to fail early, leak sooner, and be more susceptible to wind damage, as well as potentially cause insurance problems for you in the event of damage and a claim. Many insurance companies now require a moss-free roof before they will issue or renew insurance.
