How Much Should Roof Cleaning Cost in Vancouver WA?
We don’t pressure wash roofs at ProSoaks — never have, never will.
High-pressure washing strips protective granules from asphalt shingles, cracks tile, forces water underneath, and often voids manufacturer warranties. It might look fast and cheap upfront, but it frequently leads to leaks, premature roof failure, and expensive repairs down the road.
Instead, we only use safe low-pressure soft wash. For that professional service here in Vancouver WA, here’s what you can expect in 2026:
Small single-story or ranch-style homes: $300–$400
Average two-story homes: $500–$600
Large roofs (3,000+ sq ft), steep pitches, difficult ladder access, or heavy moss: $800–$1,200
These numbers come straight from real quotes and completed jobs in Clark County — not guesses or online calculators.
What Affects the Final Cost?
Several factors play a role:
Overall roof size and square footage
How heavy the moss and algae buildup is (light dusting vs. thick “ecosystem”)
Roof pitch and access (steep roofs or tight yards take more time and safety setup)
Roof material (asphalt shingles vs. tile needs slightly different care)
Add-ons like cleaning full gutters packed with growth
We often bundle services for better value. For example, last month I quoted a 1.5-story home in Salmon Creek with heavy moss and full gutters. We bundled the roof soft wash with vinyl siding cleaning for $650 total (nice discount). The customer told me it was “always worth it” because leaving the roof dirty can literally cut its lifespan in half.
Why “Average Cost to Pressure Wash a Roof” Quotes Can Be Misleading
You’ll see lower pressure washing quotes floating around. Those numbers often look tempting, but they hide the real risks: damaged shingles, granule loss, leaks that show up months later, and repair bills that can run thousands more than the original “cheap” price. I’ve had multiple customers call me after a pressure washing job went wrong — they ended up paying for repairs on top of hiring us for a proper soft wash.
Real Local Example
A homeowner in Fisher’s Landing tried a low-priced pressure washing service. Granules washed off, small leaks started, and their warranty was compromised. We came in with safe soft wash, cleaned without causing more harm, and backed it with our 3-year moss-free guarantee. He learned the hard way that cheap pressure work isn’t worth the risk.
How We Quote Roof Cleaning
I can give a decent ballpark using Google Earth for a quick look at size and pitch, but I always prefer doing an in-person visit to see the actual moss level, access, and gutters clearly. You get a transparent, written quote on the spot — no surprises or bait-and-switch.
Why Safe Soft Wash Is Worth the Investment
Yes, it costs more than a quick pressure blast, but you’re paying for:
No damage to your shingles or tile
Proper dilution and thorough rinsing to protect your plants and landscaping
Longer-lasting results that actually hold up in our rainy Vancouver climate
Our full 3-year moss-free warranty — if moss comes back, we re-treat it free
Red Flags on Roof Cleaning Pricing
Quotes way below $300 for a normal-sized home — almost always means they’re using pressure or cutting serious corners.
