How long does it take to clean a roof?

• <div><p>On average, cleaning a roof will take between <b>two to five hours</b>. This timeline depends on the size and slope of your roof and the severity of any stains. <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/3-roof-cleaning-methods-ugly-stains.htm">Cleaning roof stains</a> can take additional time, especially if there are signs of moss or algae.</p><p>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.
