Did You Know That Getting Your Residential Roof Cleaned Preserves The Life Of Your
Asphalt, Cedar, Slate, and Tile Roof?
When you get your roof cleaned by Westchester Power Washing our soft roof washing removes algae, grit, grime, mold, mildew, moss, and soot. This restores your roof’s color and appearance. In humid climates, roof washing is vital. This is especially true for homes in Westchester, Putnam and Dutchess County, N.Y.
Westchester Power Washing started in 1990. Since then we have washed more than 18,000 homes and have built a business based on referrals and repeat customers. Peter Salotto, founder of Westchester Power Washing is a retired police officer who has been pressure cleaning homes and washing roofs for more than 30 years.
In addition to experience, we are fully insured to protect you, our customer and our employees in case of an accident. Not many pressure washing or roof cleaning companies can say that. Most pressure cleaning providers are uninsured. That means if there is an accident on your property, your fault or not, you can be personally sued. Our liability and worker’s compensation insurance protects you for roof washing and pressure cleaning.

Are You Selling or Refinancing Your Home?
We work with real estate agents in Armonk, Scarsdale, Katonah, Bronxville, Chappaqua, Bedford, Rye, and White Plains who call us when they want to get the most money for a house they are selling. A home buyer will pay more money for a home that looks like new due to pressure washing and roof cleaning. A dirty house, roof, patio, deck, stair, or siding gives the impression the house needs costly repairs.
An appraiser, just like anyone else, is biased. When your house has been freshly pressure washed, your roof cleaned as well as your siding, patio, deck and walkways pressure cleaned, your home looks in great condition. In addition, your curb appeal is increased. Therefore, your home may be appraised more as the condition of your home looks like new.

Thinking about washing your roof yourself?
Professional Roof Soft Washing Is Not A DIY Job
Don’t assume you can rent a pressure washer and wash your roof on your own. There are many reasons why properly cleaning your home’s roof is not a Do It Yourself job. Below are some of those reasons:
- Balancing on a roof is dangerous. Standing on a roof, flat or sloped, with a pressure washer is difficult. Many DIY roof cleaners and handymen fall of the roof and some through the roof. Falling off a roof can result in serious injury and even death.
- High-pressure washing will damage your shingles and may result in needing to have your roof replaced. Plus, your shingles may come loose in high winds and strong storms. Spraying shingles from below can result in dangerous splatter.
- A proper and thorough roof washing takes some skill and expertise. Reaching dirt, moss, mold, mildew, lichens, and debris hidden between the cracks and crevices of roofing shingles requires experience. Youtube videos on “how to clean roof shingles” will not make you an expert nor save your roof from getting damaged. As professional pressure washers, Westchester Power Washing knows how to clean around chimneys, vents, flashing, without causing damaging.
- As professional power washers, Westchester Power Washing knows the right detergent to safely and properly clean your roof. You can damage your roof and the toxic chemicals also damage your health, pets, foliage, and house.
For these reasons, leave the roof washing to Westchester Power Washing. With more than 30 years of experience and 18,000 homes washed, we know what to do to beautify your home.
How Does Westchester Power Washing Get Your Roof Washed?
We use a soft roof washing system which is a low-pressure rinse to remove dirt. This pressure is slightly stronger than a garden hose with a spray nozzle. Low-pressure rinsing won’t loosen or old, brittle roofs and won’t wash away damaged granules along their surfaces.
Don’t Wait Until Algae and Other Debris Are Visible to Schedule To Get Your Roof Cleaned
A homeowner should never wait until they see lines of algae or moss along roofing shingles or roof edges to schedule power washing for their home. Note why that is, and when you should have your home’s roof washed:
- Algae, moss, mold, and mildew grow best in damp, dark spaces, away from air and sunlight. For a residential roof, these spaces are typically under and around roofing tiles and shingles, in areas unseen from below or during casual visual inspection.
- Once algae and other such debris begin to form, they will grow and spread, dislodging and softening roofing tiles. The more humid the environment, the faster these contaminants will increase so that a roof then suffers quite a bit of damage in a short amount of time.
- Consistent washing of a roof will remove wet leaves, twigs, seeds, and other debris that can cause algae, mold, and other contaminants to grow in the first place! Regular power washing can then prevent damage to the roof and ensure it always looks its best.
