Your roof and gutters work as one system. Rain runs off the roof and into the gutters, and whatever is on the roof, from algae to granules to leaves, ends up in the gutters too. That is why many homeowners clean them at the same time.
The Short Answer
Roof and gutter cleaning means soft washing the roof to remove algae streaks and then clearing and flushing the gutters and downspouts. In DFW, roof washing typically costs $300 to $600 and gutter cleaning $125 to $275. Booking both in one visit is usually more efficient.
Why Clean the Roof and Gutters Together
- Order matters: cleaning the roof first means any debris that washes off goes into gutters that are about to be cleaned.
- One setup: ladders, equipment, and plant protection are done once.
- Better results: clean gutters carry the rinse water away properly.
- Bundle savings: our packages include a multi-service combo for two or more services.
What Roof Cleaning Includes
We soft wash asphalt shingle and tile roofs with a solution that kills the algae causing black streaks, then rinse gently. We do not pressure wash shingles. See roof washing and how to clean roof shingles.
What Gutter Cleaning Includes
We clear debris from the gutters, flush the downspouts, and clean up the mess. See gutter cleaning.

How Often to Schedule
Gutters usually need cleaning at least twice a year, in late spring and fall. Roofs are cleaned when streaks and growth appear, often every few years. Many homeowners pair a roof cleaning with one of their regular gutter cleanings.
Don’t Forget the Gutter Faces
The outside of gutters often shows black “tiger stripes.” They need a special cleaning. See tiger stripes on gutters.

FAQs
Should I clean my roof or gutters first?
The roof. Cleaning it first sends any loosened debris into the gutters, which are then cleared and flushed.

No. We soft wash roofs with low pressure and a cleaning solution that kills algae, which protects the shingles.
