Roof Cleaning Pricing Guide Manheim Pa

Our pricing is based on three main factors:

• Roof material (asphalt shingles, metal, tile, cedar shake, or flat roofs)
• Roof slope (low, medium, steep, or extreme)
• Square footage of the house/building

Each of these factors influences the overall cost, as different materials and slopes require different cleaning methods and safety precautions.

Certain roof types require more time, specialized cleaning solutions, or extra care to avoid damage. For example, tile and cedar shake roofs need gentler soft washing techniques and more labor compared to metal roofs, which are easier to clean.

The steeper the roof, the more safety equipment and time it takes to clean it properly. A low-slope or flat roof is easier to walk on, while a steep or extreme slope requires harnesses, ladders, and additional safety measures, increasing the labor cost.

Since the roof covers the house, the total square footage of the home gives a good estimate of the roof size. Larger homes typically have bigger roofs, which means more cleaning solution, time, and labor are needed.

We use a soft washing method, which applies a low-pressure cleaning solution to kill algae, moss, and lichen without damaging shingles or other roofing materials. High-pressure washing can cause severe damage, so we avoid it for roofs.

We recommend cleaning your roof every 2 to 3 years to prevent algae and moss buildup, which can shorten the lifespan of your roofing material. In humid areas, more frequent cleaning may be necessary.

Yes! We stand by our work and offer a streak-free guarantee for all roof cleanings. If any noticeable stains return within a set period, we’ll come back and retreat the area at no additional cost.

Absolutely! Black streaks are caused by Gloeocapsa magma (a type of algae), and our soft washing method completely removes them, restoring your roof’s original look.

No, as long as we have access to water and can safely reach the roof, you don’t need to be home. We’ll notify you before and after the job is completed.

In addition to roof cleaning, we also provide house washing, driveway cleaning, gutter cleaning, and other exterior cleaning services. Let us know if you’d like to bundle services for a discount!
