Our Work

ROOF CLEANING — BEFORE & AFTER

Every roof cleaning job gets before-and-after photos. Los Gatos's dense hillside tree canopy — oaks, redwoods, bay laurels — creates some of the fastest moss and lichen growth on roof surfaces of any city we serve. Serving Downtown Los Gatos, Belgatos, Los Gatos Highlands, and Congress Springs.

We send before-and-after photos and a professional invoice after every roof cleaning — the documentation your insurer needs for policy renewal.

Los Gatos Conditions

LOS GATOS ROOFS LIVE UNDER THE TREES

Of all the towns we serve, Los Gatos roofs grow the heaviest. Homes sit under a dense canopy of oak, redwood, and bay, and that deep, constant shade — plus the needles and leaves that pile up in valleys and against chimneys — keeps roofs damp enough to grow thick moss, lichen, and algae year-round. The hillside lots in Belgatos and the Highlands are the worst of it.

That growth lifts and cracks tile, works under shingle edges, and traps moisture against the roof deck, which shortens its life and can lead to leaks — and the dark Gloeocapsa streaking spreads across asphalt roofs. Santa Clara County insurers increasingly flag it as deferred maintenance at renewal.

We soft-wash: a roof-safe, low-pressure treatment that kills the moss, lichen, and algae at the root and clears the debris, never high pressure that strips granules and voids warranties. Many of these are large, steep, multi-level roofs — real safety work, not DIY. Every job includes dated before-and-after photos and an invoice for your insurer.

Common questions

Roof cleaning in Los Gatos — FAQ

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.

Yes. Under the heavy Los Gatos canopy, moss and lichen get well established, so we apply a roof-safe treatment that kills them at the root; the growth then loosens and clears, and because it's killed rather than just knocked off, it stays gone much longer. We keep the pressure low so the tile and shingles aren't damaged.

Usually, far cheaper — moss and algae make a roof look finished long before it actually is. A soft-wash that kills the growth and clears the debris often restores years of service life for a fraction of a re-roof. We'll tell you honestly if we see damage that cleaning won't fix.
