Soft Wash & Roof Cleaning Profitability Tool

Standard rates range from $30/sq for basic blower cleaning to $65–$95/sq for full soft-wash chemical treatments. For steep-slope roofs (8/12+) that require harness work, always apply a 20% 'Accessibility Surcharge' to protect your technician labor margins.

Don't sell 'cleanliness'; sell 'longevity.' Explain that the black streaks (Gloeocapsa Magma) are a bacteria that feeds on the limestone filler in their asphalt shingles. If left untreated, it leads to premature granule loss and shingle 'curling.' Position the cleaning as a $600 maintenance service that protects a $20,000 asset.
