Remove Moss and Algae
From Your Madison Roof Without High Pressure

Roof Cleaning in Madison WI

Southern Wisconsin’s cold, wet climate is hard on a roof. The damp keeps organic growth alive year after year, and algae, mold, and especially moss take hold on shingles all over the area. That growth does more than darken the surface. It holds moisture against the shingles and works its way in over time, so clearing it early protects the life of the roof.

At Jet Wash Exterior Cleaning, we clean roofs with no high pressure at all. Our soft-wash method lifts the moss and algae with the right cleaner instead of force, so the growth comes off while the protective granule layer on your shingles stays put. That is the whole point of how we work: get the roof clean and leave the surface it depends on intact.

If your roof has gone green or dark and you want it handled the safe way, call us at (608) 577-9681 and we’ll walk you through it.

The Roof Types We Clean
in Madison

Our no-pressure soft wash is adapted to the surface we’re cleaning, so the method fits the roof rather than the other way around.

Asphalt Shingle Roofs

Asphalt shingle is the most common roof surface around here, and it’s the one the local moss and algae hit hardest. We clean it with a professional chlorinated cleaner, the same pool-type cleaner homeowners already know, applied at low to no pressure and following shingle-manufacturer standards. The cleaner and the weather do the work, so the surface is never blasted and the granule layer stays whole.

Rubber Membrane Roofs

Flat rubber-membrane roofs get the gentlest possible approach: minimal pressure, mild product, and careful hand work where it’s needed. There’s no aggressive scrubbing and no high pressure that could compromise the membrane, just a patient clean that respects how the surface is built.

Why Madison Homeowners Choose Us
for Roof Cleaning

A few things set our roof work apart, and they all come back to protecting what you already own.

No-Pressure Soft Wash That Protects Your Granules

We clean roofs without high pressure and without stripping the protective granules that keep your shingles doing their job. Those granules are the shield against sun and weather, and a high-pressure wash drives them off and shortens the roof’s life. Our low-pressure chemical method clears the growth and leaves that shield where it belongs.

We Follow Shingle-Manufacturer Cleaning Standards

We clean asphalt shingle roofs the way the shingle manufacturers say they should be cleaned, following the standards they set for it. That means your roof gets the method it was built for, done with care rather than in a hurry.

Priced a Little Higher, on Purpose, to Protect Your Landscaping

Our roof cleaning runs a bit above what some crews charge, and there’s an honest reason for it. The runoff from a roof clean can harm plants, so we use a neutralizer and steer the runoff away from your flower beds and plantings. The care that keeps your landscaping safe is built into the price of the job, not tacked on after.

The Same Father-and-Son Team on Your Roof

We’re a family business, and it’s our own father-and-son team doing the cleaning, not a rotating crew. The same two people who quote your roof are the ones up the ladder cleaning it, every time, so nobody unfamiliar with your property gets sent out in our place.

Our Owner's Direct Line From the First Call

You get our owner’s direct line from the very first call, with immediate contact and immediate answers. The person who does the work is the one who answers your questions, whether that’s how bad the growth really is, whether it’s worth doing now, or what to expect afterward. No call center in between.

How Our
Roof Cleaning Process Works

From your first call to the finished roof, here’s how a job goes.

1

Your Free Quote

You reach our owner directly by phone, and most roof quotes get handled right there without an on-site visit. We ask about the roof, its surface type, its size, how much growth there is, how steep it is, the access, and anything near the roofline like flower beds, and we build the quote from that. If you’d rather have someone come look in person, we’ll do that too. There’s no charge for the quote either way, and you’re welcome to look over our website and Google reviews to get a feel for how we work.

2

Scheduling and Prep

We set an arrival time around your schedule and tell you how to prep beforehand. If your roof clean is bundled with a house wash, we wash the house first so the roof gets cleaned in the right order, and if your gutters are due, it’s a good time to add gutter cleaning to the same visit. We’ll also tell you straight up front which roofs we’re set up to clean safely, so you know exactly what to expect before we ever arrive.

3

Protecting the Landscaping

Before we apply anything, we account for the plants and flower beds near the roofline. We use a neutralizer and direct the runoff away from your plantings so the landscaping comes through the job unharmed. For insurance reasons we work from ladders. We don’t walk the roof.

4

The No-Pressure Soft Wash

We apply a professional chlorinated cleaner, the same pool-type cleaner at a low concentration, at low to no pressure from ladders, following shingle-manufacturer standards. On shingle roofs we leave the cleaner and the weather to remove the growth instead of rinsing it off on site, which gives it more time to kill the moss. Rubber-membrane roofs get the gentlest treatment of minimal pressure and careful hand work.

5

The Walkthrough and Finish

When the work is done we walk it with you, confirm you’re satisfied, and explain what to expect as the treatment keeps working over the days that follow. That final check is the finish we’d want on our own homes, and if you’re happy with the result we’ll share a Google review link.

Roof Cleaning Pricing
in Madison

Most roof cleans fall within a documented range, and the final figure comes down to the roof itself and whether you bundle it with a house wash.

  • Roof Cleaning, From $200 with a house wash, up to $800 for larger properties. You get the best value when the roof is paired with house washing, since the house is washed first and the extra rinse water has already run down the roof. The upper end applies to larger properties, and what moves the price is the size of the roof, how much growth has taken hold, and the access. The figure also reflects the extra runoff protection that keeps your landscaping safe, built into every roof job.
  • Bundle and save: bundling your roof cleaning with a house wash is the best-value path, and it’s already reflected in the from $200 with a house wash figure. If you want to combine it with anything else, just ask when you get your quote.

Our Roof Cleaning
Guarantee

Cleaning a roof is only worth doing if it holds up, so we back every roof we treat two ways.

Free Retreat if the Green Comes Back

If you see any green come back next year, just call and we’ll come retreat it for free. We use gentler chemistry on roofs and back it with a simple promise: the moss and algae we clear should stay cleared, and if any regrowth shows up the following year, coming back to retreat it is on us.

A 100% Effort to Make You Satisfied

We put in a 100% effort to make you satisfied. From the first look at your roof to the walkthrough at the end, our aim is a job you’re glad you called us for, done the careful way and finished right.

We hired Jerry to power wash the exterior of our house. We were very happy with how it turned out! We previously hired a different company and the results didn't even compare to how nice our house turned out after Jet Wash came out. Would hire them again for our house washing needs.
Response from the owner:Thanks so much, Mackenzie! We're really glad the house exterior turned out so well, and that the difference was noticeable. We'd love to come back next time you need it done.

Jack and Mauricio showed up early and even in 90+ heat they did a deep clean of my entire house. One neighbor came over to ask Jack take a look at his house. Jack said your house isn’t that bad doesn’t need a washing at this time, talk about an honest business person. 2 other neighbors said my house looked brand new. I sure got lucky using Jet Wash. I will use them again.
Response from the owner:Thank you for the great review. Jack is my youngest son and I am very proud of him and how he treats people. We were glad you trusted us with your house and hope you save our number to share with friends and neighbors. Jerry

It’s refreshing to interact with a company that makes you feel customer service is important.

Roof Cleaning FAQs

Your roof keeps clearing for a while after we leave. On shingle roofs we let the cleaner keep working rather than rinsing it off on site, so the growth lifts over the following days as the chemical and the weather finish the job. That extra dwell time is what kills the moss at the root and lets us clean without high pressure. If any regrowth shows the following year, our free retreat has you covered.

No. For insurance reasons we work from ladders rather than walking the roof surface. The low to no-pressure cleaner is applied from ladder access, which protects both our crew and your roof, and we don’t take on roofs that are too steep or too high to reach safely.

We protect your landscaping. Before we start, we use a neutralizer and direct the runoff away from your plantings, so the beds near the roofline come through the job safe. Roof-cleaning runoff can harm plants, which is exactly why this care is built into every roof job. We plan each job so your flower beds stay protected from start to finish.

Usually not for local jobs. The quote and the work can both be handled without you there. For out-of-town customers, we ask for prepayment or that someone be present on the day of service.
