How much does roof cleaning cost in Washington?
Roof cleaning costs in Washington typically range from $450 to $1,200 depending on your roof’s size, pitch, material, and how much moss or debris is present. At Johnny Tsunami, our average roof cleaning runs around $700 for standard residential properties. This cost ensures that your roof receives the right treatment, prolonging its life and improving your home’s overall curb appeal.

What affects the price of Moss Removal or Soft Washing?
Moss Removal pricing depends on several key variables:
- Roof condition (severe moss = more labor and chemical application)
- Treatment area (partial or full roof coverage)
- Type of roof (metal, composite, tile — all require different approaches)
- Height, pitch, and overall accessibility
Soft Washing pricing is based on the total surface area cleaned and whether you’re treating siding, driveways, patios, fences, or concrete surfaces. Our process includes a low-pressure application of eco-safe solution, rinse, and optional preventative Moss Control. We’ll inspect your property and help prioritize what services bring the best ROI.
Is soft washing safe for my Roof or Siding?
Absolutely — and in fact, it’s the preferred method. Our biodegradable cleaning solution is designed to kill and remove moss, mold, and mildew without causing harm to your roofing materials, paint, or landscaping. Unlike pressure washing, which can void warranties and strip surfaces, soft washing is gentle and thorough.
Our technicians follow industry best practices, stay OSHA-compliant, and perform a pre-clean walkthrough to ensure everything is protected and prepared.
Do you offer a discount for Bundling Services?
Yes! Johnny Tsunami offers bundled service packages that reduce overall cost and increase convenience. Common bundles include:
- Roof + Gutter Cleaning
- Gutter + Siding Washing
- Whole-home Exterior Clean + Windows + Decks
Bundling different exterior cleaning services saves you money and ensures a more efficient service visit. Our teams coordinate the work across services, saving you time and, hassle, and giving your entire home a refreshed, professional look in one go. Bundle and save while maximizing your property’s appeal.
Will the Moss or Algae come back after treatment?
Eventually — yes. But our professional treatment significantly delays regrowth. Most roofs stay clean for 12–18 months depending on your tree coverage, weather exposure, and drainage.
We recommend an annual maintenance plan for moss prevention, gutter flow control, and touch-up treatments. We also provide guidance on trimming overhanging trees, clearing roof valleys, and keeping surfaces dry to slow moss growth.
Should I clean my roof or just replace it?
Unless your roof has structural issues or widespread shingle failure, cleaning is almost always the better first step. Soft washing removes years of buildup, reveals the actual condition underneath, and helps you avoid premature replacement costs.
We’ll inspect and advise you honestly — if it just needs cleaning, we’ll say so. If you need a roofer, we’ll point you to trusted roofing partners.
When is the best time of year to clean my roof in the Pacific Northwest?
Spring and fall are ideal to clean your roof in the PNW:
- Spring = remove winter debris, prep for pollen and growth
- Fall = remove leaves, prep for rain and freezing conditions
We clean year-round, weather permitting. Our team knows how to work safely in wet conditions and can flex around your schedule.
Why does moss grow so aggressively on my house?
The PNW is a moss paradise:
- Constant rain and cool temps
- Tree shade and minimal sun exposure
- Leaves and needles collecting moisture
Unchecked moss can damage shingles, trap moisture, and lead to leaks. Cleaning it off and applying preventative treatment is the smartest way to protect your roof and gutters from long-term damage.
How much does Gutter Cleaning typically cost?
Most single-family homes pay between $200 and $450 for a full Gutter Cleaning service. This includes removing debris, flushing downspouts, inspecting flow, and cleaning the exterior of the gutters (if requested). Larger multi-family homes, multi-story buildings, or properties with tall trees and heavy debris may cost more, typically between $450 and $700.
We recommend cleaning your gutters at least twice a year — especially in spring and fall — to prevent clogs, water damage, and costly repairs. Overflowing gutters can compromise your roof, siding, and foundation, so staying ahead with proactive care is essential.
Can I clean my gutters myself, or should I hire a pro?
DIY is possible — but not recommended unless you have the tools, safety training, and time. Risks include:
- Ladder falls
- Damaged gutters
- Incomplete flushing that leaves hidden clogs
Hiring Johnny Tsunami means fast, safe, and thorough gutter service. Plus, we spot small gutter issues before they turn into leaks, rot, or foundation damage.
How often should I clean my gutters, siding, or solar panels?
Here’s what we recommend:
- Gutters: Twice yearly (Spring and Fall)
- Siding: Once a year minimum — more if you have trees or algae
- Solar panels: Every 6–12 months for optimal efficiency
Regular cleaning keeps your home healthy, your curb appeal sharp, and your energy savings intact. We’ll help you build a cleaning that fits your home and goals.
What’s the difference between Soft Washing and Pressure Washing?
Soft washing is a low-pressure cleaning method that uses specialized cleaning agents to break down grime, algae, and moss. Pressure washing relies on high-pressure water to blast away dirt. Pressure washing is ideal for concrete and hardscapes, but not safe for roofs, windows, or siding.
Soft Washing:
- Safe for shingles, vinyl, stucco, and older surfaces
- Extends surface lifespan
- Kills mold, mildew, and algae at the root
Pressure Washing:
- Best for patios, driveways, brick, and walkways
- Can damage paint, shingles, and seals if used improperly
At Johnny Tsunami, we assess the material and use the correct technique — not a one-size-fits-all approach.
Is soft washing safe for my Roof or Siding?
Absolutely — and in fact, it’s the preferred method. Our biodegradable cleaning solution is designed to kill and remove moss, mold, and mildew without causing harm to your roofing materials, paint, or landscaping.

Exterior Cleaning Maintenance Plan: Services, Benefits, and What to Expect
What’s Included in Johnny Tsunami’s Exterior Cleaning Maintenance Plans?
You clean your kitchen and maintain your car regularly. But what about your home exterior? Most homeowners wait until something breaks or looks terrible. By then, the damage may already be too costly to repair.
Professional exterior cleaning service protects your home and commercial building the same way oil changes protect your engine. It keeps every part working better, looking cleaner, and lasting longer.
Proactive home care means you don’t chase down last-minute fixes. You don’t juggle appointments. And you don’t pay more later to undo what could have been prevented earlier.
Johnny Tsunami’s Maintenance Plan keeps your home and business property clean, pristine, protected, and worry-free with a custom solution built around your property. Keep reading to see what’s included and why more homeowners are switching to this smarter approach.
What Is the Johnny Tsunami MX Plan?
One-time cleaning solves the immediate problem. Maintenance plans prevent the problem from coming back.
The Johnny Tsunami MX Plan is a complete exterior maintenance program. You don’t have to track service dates or send follow-up reminders. Everything runs on a schedule built for your property.
This plan covers key areas that protect your house, including your roof, gutters, siding, windows, and driveway. Each plan starts with a walk-through of your property. The team looks at your roof’s condition, tree coverage, and layout. Then, they build a schedule that fits your home and your goals.

Key Services Included in the Exterior Cleaning Maintenance Plan
The MX Plan covers everything that keeps your home’s exterior clean, safe, and in good shape. Each service plays a specific role. Together, they give your property complete protection with fewer headaches.
1. Roof Soft Wash Treatments
Your roof takes leaves, moss, and dirt that settle over time. This leads to damage, leaks, or worse. With the MX Plan, you get soft roof wash treatments once or twice a year. These visits clear away algae and grime without using high pressure.
2. Gutter Cleaning (Spring + Fall)
Blocked gutters overflow during heavy rain. This causes water to pool near your foundation or leak into your home. The MX Plan includes two cleanings each year—one in spring and another in fall. These visits clear debris, reduce risks, and keep your drainage system working without delay.
3. Algae & Moss Prevention
After the roof gets cleaned, algae and moss tend to come back—unless you stop them early. The MX Plan includes preventive treatments to keep these growths under control. This protects your roof and keeps walkable surfaces safer throughout the year.
4. Siding and Driveway Wash-Downs
Your siding and driveway collect dust, mildew, and pollution. Over time, this dulls the look of your home. With regular wash-downs, your exterior stays bright and sharp. You protect paint, avoid buildup, and boost curb appeal with every visit.
5. Window and Skylight Cleaning (Optional Add-On)
For a full-home refresh, you can add window cleaning and skylight cleaning to your plan. These add-ons clear away smudges, dust, and buildup that block sunlight. Your home looks brighter inside and out.
Why Customers Love Our Maintenance Plans
The MX Plan gives more than clean surfaces. It brings long-term savings, less stress, and a home that stays in shape without extra effort. You get quality service and better value with every visit. That’s why homeowners, landlords, and HOAs rely on it year after year.
Here’s what makes the plan a smart choice:
- ✅ Save 15% on every included service
- ✅ Book ahead before peak seasons fill up
- ✅ Receive automatic reminders, so you never miss a visit
- ✅ Avoid surprise repair bills with regular maintenance
- ✅ Relax while your property stays clean, safe, and well cared for
This plan alleviates pressure on your schedule and budget. You stay ahead instead of catching up.

One-Time Service vs. MX Plan: What’s the Difference?
One-time service addresses issues that have already occurred. The MX Plan stops it before it begins.
A reactive approach waits for buildup, clogs, or roof stains to appear. You pay for emergency cleanups, patchwork fixes, or worse—repairs that eat into your savings. On the other hand, a proactive plan keeps your home ahead of those problems. You stay clean, protected, and in control all year.

Is there a discount for bundling services?
Bundle and Save: Best Exterior Cleaning Service Deals with Johnny Tsunami
Does Johnny Tsunami Offer Discounts For Bundling Services?
Yes, Johnny Tsunami offers bundle discounts on exterior cleaning services. If you want your home to look spotless without booking multiple appointments or paying separate service fees, bundling makes perfect sense.
Homeowners in Seattle and nearby areas rely on Johnny Tsunami to keep their properties clean, safe, and well-maintained year-round. By combining two or more services in a single appointment, you save money, reduce hassle, and enjoy better results in less time.
If you value convenience and want your home to shine without overpaying, bundled services provide a smart solution.
What Does “Bundling Services” Mean in Exterior Cleaning?
In exterior cleaning, bundling refers to scheduling multiple services together at a discounted price. This approach benefits both homeowners and the cleaning team by streamlining the process.
For example, instead of booking a roof cleaning service one week and a gutter cleaning service the next, you can book both in a single visit. The crew takes care of everything in one go, which reduces labor costs and eliminates the need for repeated travel.
Standard service bundles offered by Johnny Tsunami include:
- Roof and gutter cleaning
- Siding wash with window cleaning
- Solar panels and skylight cleaning
- Pressure washing and house washing
- Whole-home Exterior Clean + Windows + Decks
This method delivers more value and makes your business and home property look its best throughout the year.
How Bundling Exterior Cleaning Services Saves You Money
Bundling services reduces your total cost by eliminating repeated setup and service charges. You no longer pay separate fees for each individual job. Instead, you get a packaged deal that covers multiple tasks under one visit.
This efficiency saves money in more ways than one. The crew prepares and cleans once, rather than repeating the process for each service. That means fewer hours on-site and lower labor costs overall.
Johnny Tsunami also offers extras when you bundle. For instance, a professional house wash may include a complimentary gutter inspection when combined in a package. These perks add more value without raising your bill.

Common Bundled Packages Offered by Johnny Tsunami
Johnny Tsunami offers several popular bundle combinations that give you more value in fewer visits. These packages cover different needs, so you can choose what fits your home and schedule.
Roof + Gutter Cleaning
This combo protects your home by removing moss, debris, and buildup that can cause leaks or structural damage. A clean roof lasts longer, and clear gutters move water away from your home with less risk.
Many homeowners schedule this bundle before or after the storm season. It keeps your roof in good shape and prevents water-related issues during the wet months.
Siding + Window Washing
This package gives your home a noticeable boost in appearance. Clean siding brightens the entire exterior, and spotless windows allow more light inside.
Instead of booking two appointments and dealing with separate visits, you get one efficient service that handles both. This combo works well if you want your home to look fresh for guests or seasonal gatherings.
Full Exterior + Decks + Driveways
This all-in-one option brings your entire property back to life. It covers your home’s walls, outdoor surfaces, and entry areas in a single cleaning session.
If you plan to list your home for sale, host a special event, or simply want everything to look sharp, this package saves time and gives you strong results without back-and-forth scheduling.

How Johnny Tsunami’s Premium Membership Adds More Value
The Premium Membership works like a home care plan with built-in benefits. If you want simplicity, savings, and better scheduling, this upgrade makes perfect sense.
You no longer need to track payment dates or call in each time. Once enrolled, your payments are automatically processed, which means fewer worries for you.
Members also receive first-priority scheduling. During peak seasons when bookings fill up fast, your slot comes first. That means no delays when you need service most.
Along with that, members get exclusive discounts across all cleaning services. Whether you need a roof wash, deck cleaning, or window service, your rate stays lower as part of your plan.
Each membership includes a custom maintenance plan. You work with the team to decide what services your home needs and when they should happen. This creates a seamless process that keeps your property looking sharp without requiring extra effort on your part.
When Is the Best Time to Bundle Services?
Spring Cleaning
As the weather warms up, your home needs a fresh start. Dirt, moss, and grime build up over winter. A full exterior refresh clears it all in one go. Pair a house wash with window cleaning or deck treatment to restore your home’s look for the season.
Before or After the Rainy Season
In Seattle, Kitsap County, and the surrounding areas, rainfall can be heavy. Gutter and roof cleaning before the first downpour prevents water damage. A second round after the season removes leftover debris. Bundling both gives you better protection without multiple bookings.
Before Listing a Property for Sale or Rent
Curb appeal influences buyers and renters. Clean siding, spotless windows, and debris-free walkways help your home stand out from the crowd. By bundling services before showings, you increase visual appeal and create a better first impression.
End-of-Year Maintenance
As the year winds down, homeowners often prepare for guests, holidays, or yearly maintenance. Bundling services keeps everything in order while reducing costs. One visit takes care of everything, and your home stays ready for any event.

Yes. You can select the services that best suit your home. The team will help you create a plan based on your goals, budget, and schedule.

When is the best time of year to clean my roof in the PNW?
When Is the Best Time of Year to Clean My Roof in the Pacific Northwest?
In the Pacific Northwest, our climate is famous for its beauty — and infamous for how quickly it can ruin your roof. With high humidity, frequent rain, and shade from towering evergreens, moss doesn’t just grow here… it thrives.
So when should you clean your roof to stay ahead of the damage?
At Johnny Tsunami, we’ve cleaned thousands of roofs across Kitsap, King, and Pierce counties. Here’s what we recommend based on local climate patterns and decades of hands-on experience.
Why Moss Is a Year-Round Problem in the PNW
Moss and algae love:
- Cool, damp conditions
- Shady roofs (especially north-facing ones)
- Trapped debris like needles and leaves
This makes the PNW a moss hotspot, with active growth happening almost all year — but especially during spring and fall when moisture is high and temps are mild.
But here’s the trick most homeowners don’t know:
The Two Best Seasons for Roof Cleaning Are
Summer and Winter
Summer Cleaning = Prevent Winter Growth
Cleaning your roof in late spring or summer allows us to:
- Remove active moss before it dries out and embeds deeper
- Apply treatment that kills spores before fall rain returns
- Keep your roof clean and protected all winter long
Summer cleaning is preventative. It’s dry, safe to work, and sets your roof up for success through the moss-prone months.
Winter Cleaning = Catch It Before It Explodes
Most people assume winter is the worst time for roof cleaning. Not true. In the PNW, winter is when moss starts to spread fastest — because it’s cool, wet, and dark for months at a time.
Cleaning in late winter or early spring lets us:
- Remove the buildup before the spring surge of growth
- Prevent water retention that can damage shingles
- Prepare your roof for the sunnier, drier months
Our crews are trained and equipped to clean safely in winter, using soft wash systems and secure ladder setups — no harsh pressure washing, no damage.
What If You Wait Too Long?
Delaying roof cleaning until moss is fully grown out can lead to:
- Damaged shingles and shortened roof life
- Clogged gutters and water backups
- Increased risk of leaks, mold, and expensive repairs
That’s why we built our MX Plan — a recurring care package that auto-schedules roof and gutter maintenance based on your home’s needs and the season.
Our Recommendation for Homeowners in the PNW
- Summer Cleaning (May–August): Great for proactive care
- Winter Cleaning (December–March): Great for catching early spread
Spring/Fall: Still good, but timing is key — you’re either chasing moss or watching it re-grow
Johnny Tsunami’s Roof Cleaning Process
We use a specialized soft wash system designed specifically for the climate and roofing materials found in the Pacific Northwest. Our soft wash method combines eco-friendly solutions with low-pressure rinsing to safely eliminate moss, algae, and grime without causing damage to shingles or siding.
Unlike traditional pressure washing, our soft wash process preserves your roof’s integrity and lifespan, while delivering long-lasting results. Our technicians are highly trained in this system and follow strict safety protocols to ensure a thorough, damage-free clean every time.
Ready to Time Your Clean Right?
Whether you’re prepping for rain, protecting against moss, or just want your home to shine — our team is ready. Book your roof inspection and estimate with Johnny Tsunami today and get ahead of the season.

Moss Removal pricing depends on several key variables:
- Roof condition (severe moss = more labor and chemical application)
- Treatment area (partial or full roof coverage)
- Type of roof (metal, composite, tile — all require different approaches)
- Height, pitch, and overall accessibility
Soft Washing pricing is based on the total surface area cleaned and whether you’re treating siding, driveways, patios, fences, or concrete surfaces. Our process includes a low-pressure application of eco-safe solution, rinse, and optional preventative Moss Control. We’ll inspect your property and help prioritize what services bring the best ROI.
Is there a discount for Bundling Services?
Yes! Johnny Tsunami offers bundled service packages that reduce overall cost and increase convenience. Common bundles include:
- Roof + Gutter Cleaning
- Gutter + Siding Washing
- Whole-home Exterior Clean + Windows + Decks
Bundling different exterior cleaning services saves you money and ensures a more efficient service visit. Our teams coordinate the work across services, saving you time and; hassle, and giving your entire home a refreshed, professional look in one go. Bundle and save while maximizing your property’s appeal.
Is soft washing safe for my Roof or Siding?
Absolutely — and in fact, it’s the preferred method. Our biodegradable cleaning solution is designed to kill and remove moss, mold, and mildew without causing harm to your roofing materials, paint, or landscaping. Unlike pressure washing, which can void warranties and strip surfaces, soft washing is gentle and thorough.
Our technicians follow industry best practices, stay OSHA-compliant, and perform a pre-clean walkthrough to ensure everything is protected and prepared.
Will the Moss or Algae come back after treatment?
Eventually — yes. But our professional treatment significantly delays regrowth. Most roofs stay clean for 12–18 months depending on your tree coverage, weather exposure, and drainage.
We recommend an annual maintenance plan for moss prevention, gutter flow control, and touch-up treatments. We also provide guidance on trimming overhanging trees, clearing roof valleys, and keeping surfaces dry to slow moss growth.
Should I clean my roof or just replace it?
Unless your roof has structural issues or widespread shingle failure, cleaning is almost always the better first step. Soft washing removes years of buildup, reveals the actual condition underneath, and helps you avoid premature replacement costs.
We’ll inspect and advise you honestly — if it just needs cleaning, we’ll say so. If you need a roofer, we’ll point you to trusted roofing partners.
When is the best time of year to clean my roof in the PNW?
Spring and fall are ideal to clean your roof in the PNW:
- Spring = remove winter debris, prep for pollen and growth
- Fall = remove leaves, prep for rain and freezing conditions
We clean year-round, weather permitting. Our team knows how to work safely in wet conditions and can flex around your schedule.
Why does moss grow so aggressively on my house?
The PNW is a moss paradise:
- Constant rain and cool temps
- Tree shade and minimal sun exposure
- Leaves and needles collecting moisture
Unchecked moss can damage shingles, trap moisture, and lead to leaks. Cleaning it off and applying preventative treatment is the smartest way to protect your roof and gutters from long-term damage.
How much does Gutter Cleaning typically cost?
Most single-family homes pay between $200 and $350 for a full Gutter Cleaning service. This includes removing debris, flushing downspouts, inspecting flow, and cleaning the exterior of the gutters (if requested). Larger homes, multi-story buildings, or properties surrounded by tall trees and heavy debris may cost more.
We recommend cleaning your gutters at least twice a year — especially in spring and fall — to prevent clogs, water damage, and costly repairs. Overflowing gutters can compromise your roof, siding, and foundation, so staying ahead with proactive care is essential.
Can I clean my gutters myself, or should I hire a pro?
DIY is possible — but not recommended unless you have the tools, safety training, and time. Risks include:
- Ladder falls
- Damaged gutters
- Incomplete flushing that leaves hidden clogs
Hiring Johnny Tsunami means fast, safe, and thorough gutter service. Plus, we spot small gutter issues before they turn into leaks, rot, or foundation damage.
How often should I clean my gutters, siding, or solar panels?
Here’s what we recommend:
- Gutters: Twice yearly (Spring and Fall)
- Siding: Once a year minimum — more if you have trees or algae
- Solar panels: Every 6–12 months for optimal efficiency
Regular cleaning keeps your home healthy, your curb appeal sharp, and your energy savings intact. We’ll help you build a cleaning that fits your home and goals.
What’s the difference between Soft Washing and Pressure Washing?
Soft washing is a low-pressure cleaning method that uses specialized cleaning agents to break down grime, algae, and moss. Pressure washing relies on high-pressure water to blast away dirt. Pressure washing is ideal for concrete and hardscapes, but not safe for roofs, windows, or siding.
Soft Washing:
- Safe for shingles, vinyl, stucco, and older surfaces
- Extends surface lifespan
- Kills mold, mildew, and algae at the root
Pressure Washing:
- Best for patios, driveways, brick, and walkways
- Can damage paint, shingles, and seals if used improperly
At Johnny Tsunami, we assess the material and use the correct technique — not a one-size-fits-all approach.

Lane Lolagne and another associate showed up and were very polite. I liked that I received text messages when this company had someone en route. This is the first time we have had a service like this so not sure if priced high.
