Roof Cleaning in Kokomo, IN

Black streaking, moss and lichen taken off asphalt shingle at under 100 PSI, without stripping the granules that make the shingle a roof. We do this work throughout Kokomo and the rest of Howard County on the same terms as everywhere else: a free estimate, most of the time without a site visit, and a method chosen for the surface rather than for the schedule.

Kokomo price. $600 – $1,500+ for standard residential roof. That is a budget range rather than a final number, because size, stories, access and how long it has been all move it. Every range we publish is on the pricing page.

What we protect while we work

The solution that kills roof algae is hard on plants, so landscaping gets covered and rinsed, gutters and downspouts are flushed, and drives and walks below the work are wet down first. This is most of the reason a roof clean takes longer than people expect.

What is included

• Black streaking, algae, moss and lichen
• Under 100 PSI, chemical dwell, never a pressure wand
• Asphalt shingle and other applicable roofing systems

Why the driveway is where the difference shows

Concrete is the one exterior surface that genuinely wants high pressure, and it is also where a rented machine gives itself away. A wand cleans in stripes, because the fan is narrow and the overlaps show up the moment the slab dries.

A rotary surface cleaner puts two jets on a spinning bar under a shroud, so a Kokomo drive comes out one even color from the garage to the street.

Wood, and the damage that does not wash out

Weathered decking is soft. A wand at full strength on a dry board raises the grain, cuts furrows along the soft summer wood, and leaves a surface that will not take stain evenly. Short of sanding the whole deck, that is permanent.

We clean Kokomo decks with a solution and a pressure set to the board in front of us. The gray goes and the wood stays where it was.

Booking it in Kokomo

Send the Kokomo address and what needs cleaning. For most residential work we measure from property data and satellite imagery and come back with a number the same day. If the scope needs a closer look we come out, and it is free either way.

You do not need to be home. We need access to the areas being cleaned and an outside water connection, and we confirm both before the day.

Gutters are two different jobs

Washing the outside of the gutter is part of a house wash, and it is what makes clean siding look finished. Emptying the trough so water can reach the downspout is a separate service, and the two get confused constantly.

On a Kokomo property we will tell you which one you are actually asking for, and price them separately so you can choose.

Working from the ground instead of off a ladder

Most of what we do is reached from the ground: extension wands for siding, a water fed pole for upstairs glass, and low pressure application for roofs. Fewer ladders means fewer marks on the gutters, less risk, and a faster job.

Where a Kokomo property genuinely needs someone up there, we are insured for it and we will say so in the estimate rather than at the door.

Spring, fall, and the weather in between

Exterior cleaning wants a day above freezing and no downpour. In Indiana that is most of the calendar from spring through late fall, with spring bookings filling first and the quietest weeks arriving late in the season.

If the Kokomo job is not urgent, an off peak week is easier to schedule and easier to move if the weather turns.

Brick holds water, and water is the problem

Masonry is porous. It absorbs water and everything that arrives with it: algae in the shade, salts pushing back out as efflorescence, soil splash from the beds, and freeze damage where trapped water expands. High pressure drives more water in and can cut a mortar joint outright.

So brick and limestone on a Kokomo property get low pressure and the right solution, and where it is worth doing, a penetrating sealer afterwards.

What happens to your landscaping

The solution that kills roof algae is hard on plants, so beds under the work get covered and rinsed before, during and after. Drives and walks below get wet down first, and gutters and downspouts are flushed so nothing sits in them.

This is most of the reason a careful roof clean takes longer than people expect, and it is the part a rushed crew skips.

Booked with something else

The crew is already at the property with water and access, so adding a second service costs a fraction of booking it as its own visit. In Kokomo the pairings that come up most are house washing, concrete & pavers.

Roof Cleaning around Kokomo

Kokomo sits in Howard County and carries house washing, roof cleaning and concrete as standing services. When we are here we are usually also in New Castle, Marion and Richmond, so a job booked alongside one of those is easier to schedule and cheaper to run than a single trip.

Anything on our list that Kokomo does not have its own page for can still be done here as part of a visit. Ask when you call and the estimate will show it both ways.
