Roof pressure washing prices by roof type
Every roof is priced by the square foot once we have seen the pitch, the growth and the access. These are the bands most Triangle roofs land in.
| Roof type | How we clean it | Typical range |
|---|---|---|
| Asphalt shingle, single story | Soft wash, no pressure on the shingle | $450–$650 |
| Asphalt shingle, two story | Soft wash from the ladder and the eave | $600–$900 |
| Metal roofing | Low-pressure wash and rinse, panel by panel | $500–$900 |
| Tile or slate | Soft wash, walked only where the material allows | Quoted after inspection |
| Steep pitch, heavy moss or lichen | Extra dwell time and access equipment | Above the range, quoted first |
Why roof pressure washing means soft washing here
The phrase people search for is roof pressure washing. The method that does not wreck the roof is a soft wash: a low-pressure application of a solution that kills the algae, moss and lichen at the root, followed by a gentle rinse or simply the next rain. Pressure strips the granules off asphalt shingles, drives water under the laps and voids most manufacturer warranties. We own the pressure equipment. We do not point it at your roof.
