Roof Cleaning
in Corona, CA
Clear Algae and Moss Off Your Corona Tile Roof
Most homes around here sit under a tile roof, and tile gives algae and moss somewhere to take hold. It happens even in a dry climate. The growth settles in on the shaded northern faces first, where the sun doesn’t reach to dry things out, and over a few seasons it darkens the roof and spreads across the tiles until the whole roofline looks tired.
We clean it off with a soft wash. A cleaning solution breaks the algae and moss down and then gets rinsed away, so the tile comes clean without ever being blasted with pressure. We walk the roof carefully the whole time, setting our weight where the tile is built to carry it so nothing cracks underfoot. It’s the kind of work Squeegee Guys does often, on the tile roofs that are standard across the area.
If your roof is looking dark or patchy, call us at (951) 212-5214 and we’ll take a look at what you’ve got.
The Roof Types We Clean in Corona
Most homes in the area have a tile roof, and that’s the roof we clean.
Concrete and Clay Tile Roofs
Tile is what our roof cleaning experience is built on, which matters because tile behaves differently from other roofing under both cleaning and foot traffic. A lot of the tile roofs we clean here also carry rooftop solar panels, and the same care in where we step keeps both the tile and the array clear of harm. Algae and moss tend to settle heaviest on the shaded northern faces of a tile roof, where the sun doesn’t dry things out, and that’s where the growth is usually thickest by the time you notice it. Whatever the coverage, the method is the same, and it’s built around keeping the tile intact while the growth comes off.
Why Corona Homeowners Choose Us for Roof Cleaning
Roof cleaning is a job where how it’s done matters as much as the result, so here’s what sets our approach apart.
We Know How to Walk a Tile Roof
Tile is fragile underfoot, and a wrong step cracks it. Our roof work is tile-specific, learned over years of doing it here, and that’s the difference. We set our weight only where the tile is built to hold it, so the growth comes off and you’re not left with cracked tiles to replace afterward.
Soft Wash, Not Pressure
We don’t blast a tile roof with pressure. The cleaning solution does the work on the algae and moss, and then the roof gets rinsed. Pressure has its place on the flatwork around a home, which is how we handle concrete cleaning, but a roof is not that surface. Soft wash lifts the growth off while protecting the tile and its surface, which is exactly why a roof calls for it.
The Owner Quotes It and the Owner Walks It
When you call Squeegee Guys, you’re talking to the owner. He quotes your job, and he’s the one who shows up and does it. There’s no crew rotation and no handoff; the person accountable for the result is the person holding the squeegee. On a job that turns on reading pitch, access, and whether a roof can be walked safely at all, the person making that call is the same person doing the work.

STEP
Your Free Quote
Call, text, email, or use the website form, and calls go straight to the owner. For most homes we can size the job from your address using satellite imagery, cross-checking more than one mapping source so the measurement comes out right, and give you a price without needing to come out first. Roof pricing is driven by roof square footage and the overall size of the home.
STEP
Scheduling and a Confirmation Before Your Day
Once you’re booked, we put your date in our scheduling system and send a confirmation call or text before the service day. Recurring customers can set their dates as far ahead as they want them. A roof clean takes most of a day, so we block the time for it rather than fitting it between other stops.
STEP
Applying the Soft Wash
We apply a concentrated sodium hypochlorite cleaning solution across the full roof surface. This is soft-wash work, so the chemistry does the job on the algae and moss, not pressure. The tile is walked carefully, weight placed where it carries load, and the roof is never pressure-blasted.
STEP
Letting It Work
The solution is left to dwell for roughly twenty minutes. That’s the time it needs to break down the algae and moss growth before anything gets rinsed.
STEP
Rinsing and Working the Stubborn Spots
Then the roof is rinsed down with the pressure washer set for rinsing, and we work any remaining spots until they release. The same machine, turned up, is what we bring for driveway cleaning, though on a roof it stays dialed back to a rinse. A thick layer of moss holds on harder than a light one, so the stubborn patches get the extra time they need.
STEP
Walkthrough and Invoice
At the end we walk the finished job with you. Invoicing comes after you’re satisfied with the result, not before, so if we’ve missed a patch of growth we sort it out first.
Roof Cleaning Pricing in Corona
Most roof cleans in the area land in a predictable range, and the final figure comes down to the roof itself.
- Typically $400 to $700. Roof cleaning is priced on roof square footage and the overall size of the home. Heavy moss coverage pushes toward the top of that range or beyond it, since it’s more to break down and more to rinse clear. Either way it’s a long day on site, roughly four to eight hours.
- $100 off roof cleaning. This is a standing offer on our roof cleaning service, applied to the job when you book it.
Roof Cleaning Maintenance, Scheduled Ahead
For a lot of homeowners the simplest approach is to get on a yearly schedule and stay ahead of the growth. Once a year, scheduled ahead so you don’t have to think about it. You can book your date as far in advance as you like, which keeps the roof clear before another season of algae and moss has a chance to build back up.
Our Roof Cleaning Guarantee
100% Satisfaction Guarantee
On a roof, that means if a patch of growth is still showing after we’ve finished, it’s on us to put right. We guarantee you’re satisfied. If we’ve missed something, we come back and fix it. If it’s something we genuinely can’t fix, a patch of deep-set moss staining that won’t lift, then we don’t charge you for that work. We’re not comfortable taking your money for a result you’re not happy with.
What Customers Say
Frequently Asked Questions
Will walking on my tile roof crack the tiles?
No. Walked correctly, tile doesn’t crack. We keep our weight over the parts of each tile that are built to bear it, a technique built over several years of doing this work. That’s exactly why our roof work is tile-specific: tile is the roof most homes here have, and it’s what we know.
Can you get all the algae and moss off my roof?
The soft-wash solution breaks down the algae and moss, and rinsing clears it from the surface. Heavier moss coverage takes longer to clear than a light layer, and a very heavy roof is simply more work, so rather than promise a spotless result on growth we haven’t seen yet, we’ll be honest about what we expect once we’re up there. Algae and moss sit heaviest on shaded northern roof faces, which is normal for the area.
How long does a roof cleaning take?
Plan on a long day, roughly four to eight hours on site. How long it actually runs depends on the size of the roof, the overall size of the home, and how heavy the moss coverage is.
Do I need to be home when you clean my roof?
For roof cleaning, no. It’s exterior work, so we just need access to the property and an outside water source. We’ll confirm your date ahead of time and walk the finished job with you if you’re there; if you’re not, we’re glad to talk it through afterward.
