Cost guide · Birmingham, AL
How much does roof cleaning cost in Birmingham?
Roof washing in Birmingham is quoted per roof after a look at its pitch, height, material and how far the black streaks, moss or lichen have spread. It is always a soft wash, never pressure, so the method does not change the price, the roof does.

The factors
What changes a roof washing quote
- 01
Pitch and height
A steep two story roof needs more setup and reach than a walkable ranch roof.
- 02
Material
Shingle, metal and cedar shake each take a different mix and rinse. Painted metal needs the gentlest hand.
- 03
How far it has spread
Streaks are quick. Established moss and lichen need a stronger treatment and sometimes a second visit.
- 04
What sits under the eaves
Beds, ponds, pools and delicate plants under the drip line change how the runoff is managed.
- 05
Gutters
Blocked gutters have to be cleared so the runoff goes where it should. That is extra work when they are full.
Why it is quoted, not priced
- A roof with a few streaks on the north slope and a roof furred with moss are different afternoons, and pretending otherwise means one customer pays for the other.
- Height is time. Every extra story is more ladder work and more care with the runoff.
- The roof never gets pressure, so there is no cheaper, rougher option to offer. The quote is for doing it right.
Before you text
Three things that make the quote closer
- 01
Photograph the north slope. That is where the growth is worst and where the quote comes from.
- 02
Say whether the gutters are full. It changes the setup.
- 03
If the house needs washing too, book them together. The roof runoff is rinsed off the walls anyway.
Before you book
Asked before every job.
Answers in plain words. If yours is not here, text 205-521-1663 and you will get one.
01Is it cheaper to pressure wash a roof?
Nobody here will do it at any price. Pressure strips the granules that protect the shingle and shortens the life of the roof. A soft wash is the only method on the ticket.
02Do I need to be home for a roof quote?
Usually not. Text a photo from the street and the address to 205-521-1663. If the pitch or the growth needs a closer look, that gets arranged.
03How long does a roof wash last?
Four or five years on most Birmingham roofs, less under heavy shade. That is a long time between quotes.
