Roof Cleaning for Franklin homes
Franklin's tall trees shade roofs for most of the day, and many larger homes have steep, complex rooflines with valleys and dormers that hold moisture and debris. That is where the black streak algae Gloeocapsa magma and moss take hold. Some older homes here have cedar shake or slate, which need a different approach than asphalt shingles. On asphalt, a low pressure soft wash kills the growth without stripping the granules.
- Steep, complex rooflines hold moisture in the valleys.
- Tall trees keep roofs shaded most of the day.
- Cedar shake and slate are assessed before any quote.

Roof Cleaning questions from Franklin
How much does roof cleaning cost in Franklin?
It depends on roof size, pitch and growth. Most Franklin roofs can be measured from satellite.
Do you clean cedar shake or slate roofs in Franklin?
Some older and larger Franklin homes have cedar shake or slate, and neither should be treated like asphalt. Send a few photos and we will tell you plainly whether it is a job for us or for a specialist.
Do I need to be home while my roof is cleaned?
No. We need a working outdoor spigot, and pets and cars kept clear of the area under the roof edges while we work.
Why does moss grow in my roof valleys?
Valleys collect leaves and needles that hold water, and moss roots in that layer. Clearing the valleys and treating the moss keeps it from spreading onto the shingle faces.
Will the cleaning solution hurt my trees and plants?
We soak plants and beds below the roof before and after, and apply the solution at low pressure so it stays on the roof.
