When Does a Hudson Roof Need Cleaning or Moss Removal?
A Hudson roof needs cleaning or moss removal when black streaks, moss or piles of leaves and needles build up on the shingles, in the valleys or along the gutters. Debris in a valley or a gutter slows the water that should run off the roof, and moss or streaks hide the shingles under them, so you cannot tell whether the roof is sound or worn.
Hudson's older neighborhoods near downtown have mature trees, and those drop leaves and needles onto roofs every year. Roof cleaning is one of the roof maintenance services we offer, and it often goes hand in hand with gutter cleaning.
Moss or streaks?
We check underneath
Once the roof is clean we look at the shingles under the moss and streaks, so you know whether they are sound or worn.
What We Clear Off Hudson Roofs
We clear black streaks, moss, leaves, needles and other debris off Hudson roofs, from the shingles, the valleys and the gutters. Each one either hides the condition of the roof or holds back the water that should drain off it.
Black Streaks
Dark streaks running down the shingles make a roof look older than it is and hide the surface underneath.
Moss
Moss growing on the shingles and along the edges of tabs covers the roof and hides any damage under it.
Leaves and Needles in Valleys
Debris packed into valleys slows the water that should run down them and off the roof.
Clogged Gutters
Full gutters stop meltwater and rain draining away from the roof edge and the walls below.
Is moss or streaking spreading on your Hudson roof?
Send us the form or call, and we will look at the roof and tell you whether a cleaning or a repair makes more sense.
Clean Your Hudson Roof or Replace It?
Clean a Hudson roof when the shingles under the moss and streaks are still flat and sound, and replace it when they are cracked, curling or leaking. Cleaning a worn-out roof only shows its condition more clearly; it does not make the shingles any younger.
Replace or Repair
- Shingles cracked, curling or missing
- Leaks or stains in the attic
- Soft or rotted decking
- A 3-tab roof near 20 years or an architectural roof near 30
Clean the Roof
- Shingles still flat and sealed
- No leaks in the attic
- Moss, streaks or debris on an otherwise sound roof
- You want the roof's real condition before a sale
Selling soon? A roof inspection for home buyers and sellers after the cleaning tells you how many years the roof has left. If the shingles turn out dry but sound, a shingle rejuvenation treatment is something we can discuss.
What Does Roof Cleaning Cost in Hudson?
Roof cleaning and moss removal costs about $450 to $700 for a typical home, or about 10 to 60 cents per square foot. Those are national ranges, not a quote, and a Hudson job depends on the roof's size, pitch and how much moss and debris it carries.
Gutter cleaning in the Twin Cities runs about $80 to $260, also not a quote, and we can do both on the same visit.

What Else We Check While Cleaning Your Hudson Roof
While cleaning your Hudson roof, we also check the shingles, the flashing at chimneys, valleys and openings, the vents and the gutters, because a clean roof is the easiest time to see faults. Anything that needs fixing is priced and agreed with you before we do it.
Insurance may not cover what neglect causes: in Wisconsin, a roof that is simply worn out is the owner's cost to replace, neglect is a common exclusion in homeowners policies, and an insurer can refuse to renew a policy because of a worn-out roof. If we find damage, our roof repair work can fix it before it turns into a leak.
Roof Cleaning and Moss Removal FAQs
How Much Does Roof Cleaning Cost?
Roof cleaning and moss removal costs about $450 to $700 for a typical home, as a national range. We price your Hudson roof once we have seen its size, pitch and how much moss and debris it carries.
Does Cleaning a Roof Make It Last Longer?
Cleaning a roof does not make worn shingles any younger, but it clears debris that holds back drainage and lets us find small faults before they become leaks. On a roof that is already near the end of its life, cleaning only shows that more clearly.
Should I Clean or Replace a Roof With Moss on It?
Clean a roof with moss on it if the shingles underneath are still flat and sound, and replace it if they are cracked, curling or leaking. We check them once the moss is off.
Should I Clean My Roof Before Selling My Hudson Home?
Cleaning a roof before selling lets buyers and their inspector see the shingles instead of moss and streaks. Pairing it with a home sale roof inspection tells you what a buyer will find.
