Source: https://experthomecleaners.com/applegate-ca/roof-cleaning Applegate, CA · Placer County # Roof Cleaning & Moss Removal in Applegate Roof cleaning and moss removal in Applegate, CA starts from $400, using brushing and a whole-roof treatment instead of a pressure washer. Roofs near Applegate's older homes, under the oldest trees, see the most moss. Starting at $400 - Starting price from $400 in Applegate - Heavy moss brushed off near older, shaded homes - Whole-roof treatment for lichen - Return visit two to three weeks later - No pressure washer on shingles 5 across 43 Google reviews Insured $1M general liability, per occurrence Guarantee 24h to report a miss — we re-clean it free Overview ## Moss under the oldest trees Moss needs shade, and in Applegate the shade sits where the oldest trees do, around the older ranch-style homes. Roofs there are the ones most likely to carry raised moss that has to be brushed off by hand. Newer rural construction further into the foothills is more open, and its roofs more often show flat lichen than heavy growth. After the heavy moss comes off, the whole roof is sprayed with a treatment that kills what is left at the root. Over the next two to three weeks the lichen dies and blows off in the wind, and we come back to check the result. Oak debris is the other foothill factor. It collects on Applegate roofs through the year and washes down into the gutters, which are a separate service, so it can make sense to book both for the same trip.

[(279) 300-0830](tel:+12793000830 "Call Expert Home Cleaners") Do Applegate roofs near the old ranch ground need more moss treatment? Often, yes. The oldest trees and heaviest shade are around the older ranch-style homes, so those roofs get more of the mechanical moss removal than newer construction further out. Do you do the follow-up visit for Applegate roof jobs? Yes. We return two to three weeks after the treatment to check the result, the same as on any roof we treat, even with the drive out to the foothills. Do you clean the gutters during a roof job in Applegate? No, gutter clearing is a separate service. Oak debris fills Applegate gutters through the year, so it often makes sense to book both for the same day. Who stands behind this page ## Reviewed by the owners.
