Roof cleaning for tile, slate, composition, metal, and aluminum roofs

Active cleaning

One method does not fit every roof

Aluminum requires special care, while tile roofs call for cautious foot traffic and an access plan shaped by the material, condition, slope, and route.

When to consider cleaning

Signs your roof may need attention

A roof can look weathered long before its material has failed. These visible changes are useful reasons to request a cleaning review.

• Black or dark streaks running down the roof
• Green moss, algae, or lichen growth
• Heavy dust or debris collecting on tile
• White or chalky mineral deposits
• Tiles that look dull, gray, or discolored
• One side of the roof looks noticeably dirtier than the others

Visible growth is a surface condition, but ongoing moisture can contribute to continued growth. The estimate should consider what is visible along with likely moisture sources and drainage conditions.

Choose the right scope

Cleaning issue or repair review?

Cleaning

Staining, algae, moss, dirt, debris, and clogged visible drainage paths usually begin with a cleaning conversation.

Repair review

Broken or missing tile, leaks, exposed underlayment, sagging, or repeated water intrusion need repair-focused review.
