What Affects the Cost of Roof Washing
Pricing depends on concrete factors, roof size, pitch and steepness, roofing material, and the extent of algae or moss growth, rather than a flat rate.
Because every roof differs in size, pitch, and the extent of growth, Station One provides a free, no-obligation on-site or remote quote to give you an exact number before any work begins.

Roof Washing Questions, Answered
Why soft wash instead of pressure wash my roof?
High-pressure washing can crack or dislodge shingles, void manufacturer warranties, and force water under the roof surface. Soft washing uses a low-pressure application with specialized cleaning solutions that kill algae, moss, and lichen at the root without damaging your roofing material, giving you a cleaner result that lasts longer.
Is roof washing safe for my plants and landscaping?
A professional roof washing crew will pre-wet and protect surrounding plants, shrubs, and grass before applying any cleaning solution. Station One Services uses trained staff who take care to minimize runoff impact, so your landscaping stays healthy while your roof gets clean.
How do I know if my roof actually needs washing?
The most common signs are dark streaks or black staining (typically caused by algae called Gloeocapsa magma), green or brown moss patches, or a general dullness to your shingles. If left untreated, these organisms can degrade roofing materials over time, so addressing them early is worthwhile.
Does Station One Services carry insurance for roof work?
Yes, Station One Services is fully insured, which means you're protected in the unlikely event of any accidental damage during the job. They also offer free quotes upfront so you know exactly what to expect before any work begins.
