ROOF CLEANING
LOS GATOS, CA

Los Gatos's hillside position beneath dense oaks, redwoods, and bay laurels creates persistent shade and fog moisture on roof surfaces — the ideal conditions for moss, algae, and lichen growth. Lichen in particular can establish on unprotected roofing material within 2–3 years in Los Gatos's shaded canyons. Insurance companies in Santa Clara County require cleaning documentation for policy renewal, and lichen-covered roofs are among the most frequently flagged.

Roof cleaning is priced individually based on roof size, pitch, material, and moss load — every job is different. Text (408) 476-3891 with your address and Matt will give you a firm quote within 30 minutes. No visit required before you decide.

Most Los Gatos homes need roof cleaning every 1–2 years due to heavy hillside tree coverage and persistent fog. Properties in Belgatos and Los Gatos Highlands with dense shade and north-facing sections may need annual treatment to prevent lichen establishment.

We assess your roof type before starting and choose the best cleaning method — whether that's soft-wash, low-pressure, or another approach. The goal is always to remove moss, algae and buildup effectively without damaging your specific roofing material. We'll tell you exactly what method we'll use when we quote.

Yes. We provide dated before-and-after photos and a professional invoice after every roof cleaning — exactly what State Farm, Farmers, AAA, and most other insurers require for policy renewal in Santa Clara County. Many Los Gatos homeowners hire us specifically after receiving an insurance cancellation notice.

Most single-story Los Gatos homes take 1–2 hours. Two-story or larger homes typically take 2–3 hours. We apply the treatment, clear all debris from the roof surface, and walk you through the results before we leave.
