Roof size is a primary factor. Smaller roofs (up to 2,000 sq ft) generally fall into the basic tier ($0.15-$0.3 per sq ft), while larger roofs (3,500 sq ft and up) with more extensive issues would be priced at the premium tier ($0.51-$0.7 per sq ft) due to increased labor and material needs.
Yes, common methods include soft washing and more intensive treatments for heavy growth. Soft washing is typically included in the basic and mid-range tiers, while specialized cleaning for severe moss, lichen, or heavy oxidation may require more expensive techniques, pushing the cost into the premium tier.
When quoting, consider the roof's square footage, its pitch and accessibility, the type and severity of biological growth (e.g., mold, moss, lichen), and the specific cleaning method required. Also, factor in labor costs, material expenses, and any additional services requested like gutter cleaning.
