Prices shown are starting points for residential properties in our standard service area and are not a formal quote. Every estimate is free, and we confirm the final price with you before any work begins — no hidden fees.
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

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?
Roof debris cleaning starts at $199 and moss removal + treatment starts at $749 — roughly $0.50/sq ft for one story and $0.60–$0.70/sq ft for two stories. Save 20% when bundled with gutter or window cleaning.
