Is roof cleaning profitable?

Roof cleaning is a particularly profitable service. Your basic equipment costs – a chemical pump, chemicals, and some sort of rinsing mechanism (i.e., a hose or a pressure washer) – is low.

A ladder is also a good idea, although a lot of roofs can be cleaned directly from the ground.

How do I know when my roof needs cleaning?

If there are no leaks and no movement of the tiles, then the roof is in good condition with no need to replace it.

The build-up of dirt over the years may have made it look like the roof needed replacing.

Instead, your roof just needed cleaning by a professional.
