How much does roof cleaning cost in Miami, FL?
Roof cleaning in Miami, FL is quoted per roof by The Boss Pressure Washing, never from a flat rate. The number depends on the size and pitch of the roof, whether it is barrel tile, flat tile or shingle, how heavy the black algae is, what is planted under the eaves and whether a ladder can reach every side. It is always a soft wash, never pressure. Text a roof photo to 786-985-1684 for one number.

What affects the cost
Six things that move the quote
There is no flat rate, and the number is not a mystery either. These are the things that decide what roof cleaning comes to on your property in Miami.
Roof size and pitch
Square footage of roof, not of house. A steep two-story with hips and valleys is more roof, more solution and more ladder work than a low single-story.
Tile or shingle
Barrel tile, flat concrete tile, shingle and metal each take a different mix and a different approach. Barrel tile is the slowest because it cannot be walked and is worked from the ladder.
How heavy the growth is
A light haze on the north slope needs one application. A roof that has gone black on every slope needs a stronger mix, a longer dwell and sometimes a second pass.
Landscaping under the eaves
Dense beds against the house, a hedge under the drip line and delicate plants all need wetting, protecting and rinsing at every step, and that is time.
Gutters
The runoff carries the dead algae into the gutters, so they get flushed at the end. Gutters that are already full are a gutter cleaning on top of the roof.
Access and water
A working spigot, room to set a ladder on every side and a clear path around the house keep the job moving. A pool cage or a tight side yard slows it.
No mystery pricing
Why we quote each job
Text the address and a photo to 786-985-1684 and you get one number for the whole job.
A Miami roof is quoted after we have seen it, from photos or from the street. A flat rate per roof would price a low shingle ranch and a steep barrel-tile two-story the same, and one of those numbers would be wrong.
We look at the size, the pitch, the material, the growth and the plants underneath, and give you one number for the whole roof, gutters flushed and landscaping rinsed. Text a photo of the roof from the street to 786-985-1684 and you will have it.
How to get the most out of it
Spend less over the long run
Clean it before it goes black
A grey shadow on the north slope is one application. A roof that is black on every side is a stronger mix, a longer dwell and sometimes a second visit.
Pair it with the gutters
The wash sends dead algae into the gutters, so they get flushed anyway. Having them cleared on the same visit is one ladder setup instead of two.
Trim the tree off the roof
The slope under the tree goes black first and comes back first. A branch cut back from the roofline is the cheapest thing you can do for the next clean.

Cost questions
Roof cleaning pricing
If yours is not here, call or text 786-985-1684 and ask.
Why won't you give me a price over the phone?
Because the number depends on what is on the surface, and we cannot see that over the phone. Send photos and the address to 786-985-1684 and we will quote from those, or come out and look.
Is tile more than shingle?
Barrel tile usually is, for the same square footage, because it cannot be walked and has to be worked from the ladder and the edges. Flat tile and shingle are faster. Text a photo to 786-985-1684 and the number will reflect your roof.
Does the price include the plants and the gutters?
Wetting and rinsing the landscaping and flushing the gutters at the end are part of every roof job. Gutters that are already packed full before we start are a separate gutter cleaning, and we tell you that when we look.
Why is a soft wash worth more than a pressure wash?
Because a pressure wash on a roof is damage, not cleaning. Granules come off shingle, tile cracks, and water goes under both. A soft wash kills the algae and leaves the roof alone. The cheaper quote can cost you a roof. Text 786-985-1684 and we will explain what we do.
