Light Agitation
Gentle brushing loosens grime, moss, and stubborn buildup without touching the shingles too hard.

Cleared moss, leaves, needles, and buildup are removed from the roof and valleys.

How much does roof cleaning cost?
Roof Cleaning in Elk Grove, Sacramento, and the surrounding communities starts at $199. Roof work is quoted in three levels because the jobs are genuinely different. A blow-off clears loose debris only. Moss removal physically takes existing growth off the roof. The full roof cleaning adds our soft-wash treatment, which keeps working for months after we leave and is the only level that carries the regrowth guarantee.
Roof Cleaning rates
Starting prices & service minimums — not flat rates
- Roof blow-off (debris only)
- starting at $199
- Loose surface debris — leaves, pine needles, small branches — cleared from the roof and valleys, roofline blown off. No moss removal and no soft-wash treatment; this is not the full roof cleaning service and no regrowth guarantee applies.
- Moss removal (no treatment)
- starting at $399
- Existing moss and organic buildup physically removed and agitated as far as is safe for the roofing material, with the resulting loose debris cleared. No soft-wash treatment and no regrowth guarantee — it addresses what is on the roof today without the longer-term treatment benefit.
- Full roof cleaning + soft-wash treatment
- starting at $749
- The complete 5-step process: prep and protection, agitation, debris removal, soft-wash application targeting moss, algae and lichen at the root, and months of dwell time. The only level backed by our 3-year regrowth guarantee.
- One-story roof
- starting at $0.50 / sq ft
- Full roof cleaning measured over the roof area. Prices subject to change.
- Two-story roof
- starting at $0.60 – $0.70 / sq ft
- Full roof cleaning; steeper pitch and added access requirements set the exact rate. Prices subject to change.

What affects your final price
No two homes are identical. These are the details we look at when we put your quote together:
- Roof size, pitch, and number of stories — steep pitches require fall protection
- Roof material: composition shingle, concrete or clay tile, or metal
- How much moss and lichen is present and how deeply it is rooted
- Tree coverage and the volume of debris in valleys and behind chimneys
- Safe access for the crew, including gate width and overhead lines

What customers say about our roof cleaning
Real reviews left on our Google Business Profile by CSG customers.
“I had a fantastic experience with CSG WINDOW CLEANING! The team was very polite, arrived on time, explained the cleaning process clearly, and treated the job with care. When they finished, the roof looked spotless, and left my yard completely clean afterward. Excellent communication and fair pricing from start to finish!”
“I had the best experience with Kevin and his crew. They came on time, we reviewed the scope of work, then they promptly got busy. The team brought their own equipment, were polite, and listened when I asked them to be mindful of our dogs and close the gate. They did 29 solar panels, removed mold and scum off a shingle roof, washed a flat roof, cleaned gutters and washed windows inside and out.”
“Kevin and crew did an excellent job on my home today. They cleaned my gutters, roof, and concrete around my front door, driveway, and patio. I highly recommended them for your cleaning needs. Much more reasonable price compared to other companies as well. Call them today”

Good to know.
Do you pressure wash roofs?
No — pressure washing can damage shingles. We use safe, non-pressure methods: light brushing, blowers, and a softwash solution blend.
Will roof cleaning help with drainage?
Yes — debris removal helps gutters and downspouts work correctly, especially heading into Sacramento's rainy season.
Can you remove moss safely?
Yes — we use soft brushing paired with an optional eco-safe roof treatment that kills moss at the root and keeps it from returning.
How often should I clean my roof?
Full moss removal is typically only needed once every 5–7 years. Homes surrounded by trees may benefit from annual debris clearing.
What does roof cleaning cost?
There are three levels. A roof blow-off — loose debris only, no moss removal and no treatment — starts at $199. Physical moss removal without the soft-wash treatment starts at $399. The full roof cleaning with our soft-wash treatment, the only level covered by the 3-year regrowth guarantee, starts at $749 and is measured at roughly $0.50/sq ft for one story and $0.60–$0.70/sq ft for two stories. Final pricing depends on roof size, access, story count, material and how heavy the buildup is.

Yes. We handle roof moss and algae removal across Elk Grove, Sacramento, Folsom, El Dorado Hills, Granite Bay, Roseville, Rocklin, Carmichael and Fair Oaks — shaded, tree-covered roofs in these neighborhoods are the most common jobs we see.
