"DO NOT HIRE THIS ROOFER!! Let me explain. I hired them to replace my two large roofs in Sept 2021 and we both agreed on starting right after Thanksgiving 2021 and be done in 3 weeks. They did not show up for work as promised and I reached out and found out that they decided to go in vacation. They started 4 weeks late and the project went on to mid- January 2022 which I needed to avoid. The stick and peel roof that they replaced was so poorly executed that the new roofer that I hired this month had to hot tar the connection joints and the end of the roof plus cut the bubbles and hot tar them. The roof that they coated with the roof silicone has bubbled and peeled off already with-in weeks of finishing as you can see in the pictures. The manufacture of the silicone coating has a warranty however they did not honor the warranty as they deemed the workmanship to be shabby. Yes the manufacture of the silicone sent a rep and they deemed the work that Randall's crew to be not consistent with the way the instructions deemed it to be applied. They did not let the roof to dry to apply the coating. They applied the silicone while the roof was still wet from rain. I did not consider myself an expert in roofing in 2021 however I know a lot more now. Now I have hired a new roofer with more than 3 reviews and Randall at Randall S Martin Roofing, INC is not a company I would ever hire. They may be the most reasonable at the time but I would avoid them. I also considered suing them but my attorney mentioned that the juice was not worth the squeeze. So I swallowed the $55,900 I paid them and I am paying a new roofer to fix the mess that they have made."

FAQs for roof cleaning projects in Tampa, FL

Even though you don’t look at your roof often, there are some telltale signs that you should have your roof professionally cleaned. It’s best to hire a professional roof cleaner as soon as you notice signs of wear and tear to preserve the essential feature’s longevity. Some indicators to look out for include:

Leaf buildup in gutters
Dirt and grime buildup
Moss or black algae growth
Dirt buildup under shingles
Shifting roof shingles
Plant growth

On average, cleaning a roof will take between two to five hours. This timeline depends on the size and slope of your roof and the severity of any stains. Cleaning roof stains can take additional time, especially if there are signs of moss or algae.

In addition, the age of your roof makes an enormous difference in the time it takes to clean it, as older roofs need more gentle care. If you have significant landscaping in your yard by your house, your professional roof cleaner will need additional time to protect it from cleaning chemicals.

The cost of roof cleaning is $455 for the average homeowner. However, this cost can range from $150 to $1,000, depending on the size, pitch, and material of the roof, as well as the cleaning method used.

Since roof cleaning costs between $0.20 and $0.60 per square foot, it’s fair to say that the larger your roof, the more you pay for cleaning services. Additionally, if you have a steep roof, you can expect to pay an additional $0.15 per square foot due to the complex nature of the job and additional safety equipment needed.

A professional roof cleaning lasts about a year on average, so it’s best to do it annually. This schedule helps catch any roof problems before they become extensive and helps prevent mold, moss, and algae from forming. If you live near the coast, annual roof cleaning will help prevent salt buildup on your roof. You can add professional roof cleaning to your yearly home maintenance checklist to ensure you never miss a year.

It is not advisable to DIY a roof cleaning job. Cleaning your roof yourself could lead to hazardous falls, scrapes, and even burns, making this a dangerous project. Additionally, using the wrong cleaning solution or cleaning method on your roof could risk damaging it. While some markets offer a DIY roof cleaning kit, these products often speed up the deterioration of your roof.

To ensure that you and your roof are protected, it’s best to leave roof cleaning to a professional with the right chemicals, tools, and equipment to complete the job safely.
