Average Roof Cleaning Prices in Orlando, FL
Here are typical price ranges for Orlando area homes in 2026:
Small roof (under 1,500 sq ft): $250 – $350
Medium roof (1,500 – 2,500 sq ft): $350 – $500
Large roof (2,500+ sq ft): $500 – $700+
Tile roof (any size): Add $50 – $150 due to extra care required
Multi-story home: Add $50 – $100 per additional story
These are starting ranges. Your actual price depends on the condition of your roof and how much mold, algae, or black streaking is present.
At The Pressure Specialist, we quote by the job not by the hour. That means the price stays the same no matter how long the cleaning takes.
What Affects the Cost of Roof Cleaning?
Roof size. This is the biggest factor. More square footage means more cleaning solution and more time.
Roof type. Tile roofs, barrel tile, and slate require more careful handling than asphalt shingles. Flat roofs are usually the quickest to clean.
Amount of buildup. A roof with years of black streaks, algae, or moss takes more product to clean. But unlike some companies, we don’t charge extra for “heavy” buildup our quote covers the full job.
Roof height and pitch. Steep or tall roofs need extra safety equipment. Two-story and three-story homes cost a bit more.
Access. If your roof is hard to reach trees blocking access, no clear path around the house that can add to the price.
Soft Wash vs. Pressure Wash and Why It Matters for Price
Some companies use high-pressure washing on roofs. It’s faster but can crack tiles, strip granules from shingles, and void your roof warranty.
We use soft washing. It’s a low-pressure method that applies a professional-grade cleaning solution to kill mold, algae, and bacteria at the root. The results last 2 to 3 times longer than pressure washing.
Soft washing costs about the same as pressure washing sometimes a little more but you save money in the long run because:
- Results last longer (less frequent cleanings)
- No risk of damage to your roof
- Keeps your manufacturer warranty intact
Think of it this way: you can pay $200 every year for pressure washing that damages your roof, or pay $400 every 2–3 years for soft washing that protects it.
Roof Cleaning Cost by Roof Type in Orlando, FL
Asphalt shingle roof: $250 – $500. The most common roof type in Orlando. Soft washing removes black streaks caused by Gloeocapsa Magma algae without stripping granules.
Tile roof (concrete or barrel): $350 – $700. Very common in Windermere, Dr. Phillips, and newer Orlando communities. Tile requires extra care high pressure can crack or break tiles. We soft wash every tile roof.
Metal roof: $250 – $450. Metal roofs clean up fast but can develop oxidation and algae. Soft washing restores the finish without scratching.
Flat roof: $200 – $400. Common on commercial buildings and some modern homes. Flat roofs collect standing water and grow mold quickly in Florida’s humidity.
How Often Should You Clean Your Roof in Orlando?
Orlando’s hot, humid climate makes roofs a magnet for algae and mold. Most homeowners need roof cleaning every 1 to 3 years depending on:
- How much shade your roof gets (more shade = faster growth)
- Whether you have trees overhanging the roof
- Your roof type and color (lighter roofs show stains sooner)
If you’re in an HOA and many Orlando neighborhoods are your association may require roof cleaning on a set schedule. Getting ahead of it avoids violation letters and fines.
How to Save Money on Roof Cleaning
Bundle services. When you add a house wash or driveway cleaning to your roof cleaning, you save 10–15% compared to booking them separately.
Schedule during off-peak months. January through March is slower for most pressure washing companies. You may find better availability and pricing.
Set up a maintenance plan. Recurring customers get priority scheduling and lower rates. Ask us about annual or bi-annual plans.
Don’t wait too long. The longer you let algae and mold grow, the harder (and more expensive) it is to remove. A roof cleaned every 2 years costs less per cleaning than one neglected for 5 years.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I clean my roof myself to save money?
We don’t recommend it. Roof cleaning requires professional-grade solutions, proper dilution ratios, and safety equipment. A garden hose or rented pressure washer won’t kill algae at the root it’ll grow back within weeks. And walking on a wet roof without proper gear is dangerous.
Does insurance cover roof cleaning?
Homeowner’s insurance typically does not cover roof cleaning since it’s considered routine maintenance. However, regular cleaning can prevent damage that would lead to a denied insurance claim — some insurers have dropped homeowners for neglected roofs with visible algae and mold.
Will roof cleaning damage my landscaping?
We take steps to protect your plants and landscaping during every job. Our team wets down shrubs and flower beds before and after treatment. The cleaning solutions we use are biodegradable and plant-safe when properly diluted.
How long does a roof cleaning take?
Most residential roofs take 1 to 3 hours depending on size and condition. You don’t need to be home just make sure we can access water and the area around your house.
