Questions Answered

Will Cleaning my roof save my homeowners insurance?

The short answer is YES!

As long as it is professionally cleaned, and the proper documentation and evidence are provided to your insurance company, your policy will get renewed.

We have a 100% success rate in homeowners insurance renewals when our process is followed.

We actually guarantee our work! If your insurance company finds any deficiencies remaining related to roof cleaning, we will come back and satisfy those needs for free!

Is it OK to clean a roof with high pressure?

Cleaning concrete and clay roof tiles with high pressure is OK, and in fact the most effective cleaning solution for roofs in Southern California. Here in SoCal we have our own unique strain of Gleocapsa magma. The moderate humidity levels promote its growth, but also cause it to embed deep into the tile pores. As a result, the ONLY way to completely remove it is with high pressure, which is why this is required to get an insurance renewal. Simple Soft-Washing with chemicals will not work!

Cleaning asphalt shingles or coated metal roofs with high pressure is NOT OK. This will cause permanent damage and degrade the surface of the roof, eliminating its protective qualities. Fortunately, the algae doesn't embed nearly as deep on these roof surfaces, and soft washing techniques ARE sufficient for cleaning, including insurance renewals.

How long does it take

For most roofs we can finish the job in 1 day.

For a premium service including full house wash roofs over 3k square feet, we can sometimes take 1.5 days to finish.

Are you insured?

Yes!

Roof cleaning requires a specific insurance classification of it's own, Make sure anyone putting water on your roof has it!

We are also insured specifically for all work with solar panels, which we clean for free if you have them!

Do I have to be home when you clean my roof?

No you don’t have to be home.

We just need to be able to access a water spigot and your roof.

We provide full documentation and photo evidence of every job digitally via SMS and E-mail.

What if you break a roof tile?

We are VERY good at walking on roofs without causing damage! But we do repair or replace any damage to your roof that isn't pre-existing before we clean.
