What is the Average Cost of Cedar Shakes Roof Cleaning?
Here at Sullivan Cedar Shakes Roof Cleaning we are often asked what our “average cost” is for a roof cleaning job. The simple fact is that there really is no average. Even so, I’d like to address this question, as you may find it helpful to know how we charge for roof cleaning.
The cost of the average roof replacement depends on various factors.
Often there will be infestations that come from the surrounding environment and tree cover. Your roof may be covered in moss, algae, lichen, or brown rot but this can be cleaned. Please note that brown rot is the number one cause of roof deterioration.
A damp roof that is surrounded by trees and other organic matter has the perfect climate for moss and fungus to grow, not only do the growths look unaesthetic, if you do not look after and maintain your cedar shakes correctly then they will not last the average 40 to 60 years! If not then the life span is severely reduced and the roof will need fixing and replacing much earlier than otherwise necessary. It is advisable to get a professional such as Sullivan Cedar Shake Roof Cleaning, to take care of your cedar shake cleaning needs, this ensures the highest quality work, no damage to your existing shakes, and a roof that looks as good as new.
Cedar Shake Roofs are expensive to install and often have a higher insurance cost than another roof of a similar size but even with those two points in mind Cedar Shake Roofs have many benefits that outweigh the relatively few downsides, and these are boosted by cleaning.

Life Span of 40 - 60 Years
A Cedar Shake Roof will last a long time, depending on the grade of the cedar, but it does need to be looked after and cleaned about once every 10 years or so. If the roof is neglected then it will need replacing before which will incur a huge amount of unnecessary costs.
Eco-Friendly
Cedar Shakes are a naturally renewable and sustainable resource that is also organic matter. They also last longer than other materials and can be composted once no longer in use. Ensuring they stay in optimal condition will help to reduce the impact on the environment.
Maintain Temperatures
A cedar shake roof that is not maintained will lose some of its natural ability to hold an abient temperature. They allow the home to breath, to stay cool in the summers, and help to keep them warmer in the winters. If the cedar shakes become damaged, degraded, or generally fall into disrepair then all of this is lost.
