Worker soft washing a barrel tile roof

Roof cleaning, gutter cleaning and roof check

Low-pressure soft washing for barrel tile, flat tile, shingle and metal roofs, plus gutters cleared and a free visual roof check with photos.

Barrel tile and flat roofs in Miami-Dade collect algae, black streaks, mold and debris from the tree canopy. Beyond the look, that growth holds moisture and degrades the surface, and in Coral Gables and Pinecrest a dirty or mildewed roof is a common reason for a code enforcement notice.

We clean roofs with soft washing: low pressure and the right cleaning solution, never a pressure washer blasting tiles loose. We clear gutters and downspouts, remove leaves and branches from valleys and do a visual roof check with photos so you know about cracked or slipped tiles before the rainy season.

Our roof work is cleaning and inspection. If the check finds a leak or broken tiles that need repair, we tell you plainly and connect you with a licensed roofing contractor, and we stay your single point of contact through the job.

Why it matters

Catch problems early

Slipped tiles and clogged gutters let water in during summer storms. A photo check now costs nothing and avoids ceiling damage later.

Extends roof life

Algae and moss hold moisture against the tile. Clean roofs last longer and look like new.

Curb appeal and code compliance

A stained roof is the first thing neighbors and code officers notice on an otherwise beautiful home.

Ready for hurricane season

Clear gutters and a debris-free roof matter when the rain comes sideways.

Tile roofs under the Coral Gables canopy

Live oaks, banyans and palms drop leaves, tassels and seeds all year, and Miami humidity turns that debris into algae within months. Homes under heavy canopy in Coral Gables, Pinecrest and Palmetto Bay usually need cleaning every 18 to 24 months and gutter cleaning twice a year. Coral Gables code enforcement can require owners to clean dirty roofs, fascia and driveways, with fines up to $500 a day once a case reaches the Code Enforcement Board.

Frequently asked questions

Is pressure washing safe for tile roofs?
No. High pressure cracks tiles and strips the surface. We use soft washing: low pressure with a cleaning solution that kills algae and mold, which is the method roof manufacturers recommend.
How often should a tile roof be cleaned in South Florida?
Every 18 to 24 months for most homes, sooner under heavy tree canopy or near the water.
What are the black streaks on my roof?
A blue-green algae called Gloeocapsa magma that feeds on moisture and the limestone in tiles and shingles. Soft washing removes it and keeps it away for a year or more.
Will Coral Gables or Pinecrest cite me for a dirty roof?
They can. Coral Gables lists cleaning dirty roofs, fascia, steps and driveways among its code remedies, and the Pinecrest code says roofs shall be maintained free of mildew. A regular cleaning keeps you ahead of a notice.
Can you fix my roof leak?
We do not perform roof repairs. Our free roof check documents the problem with photos, and we connect you with a licensed roofing contractor while staying your point of contact.
Will roof cleaning damage my plants?
We pre-wet and cover landscaping, control runoff and rinse everything after the job.
