Roof Cleaning in Palm Beach Gardens, FL
Palm Beach Gardens has more HOA-governed communities than any other city in Palm Beach County. If you own a home in PGA National, Mirasol, BallenIsles, Frenchman’s Reserve, or Evergrene, you already know that exterior maintenance isn’t optional. Your architectural review board will notice a dirty roof before you do — and when they send a violation notice, the clock starts.
Florida Clean Roof has been serving Palm Beach Gardens homeowners for over 20 years. We’re a licensed Florida roofing contractor, fully insured, and experienced working with HOA requirements across the city. Our softwash system removes black algae, mildew, and staining from cement tile, barrel tile, and shingle roofs without the pressure that cracks tiles or voids your manufacturer’s warranty.

Why Roofs in Palm Beach Gardens Get Dirty So Quickly
Palm Beach Gardens is beautiful — and humid. Golf course irrigation, dense tropical landscaping, and the daily summer rain pattern that rolls in off Lake Okeechobee create near-constant moisture on roofs. That moisture feeds Gloeocapsa magma, the airborne algae that causes the dark streaking and black stains you see on cement and barrel tile roofs across PGA National and the surrounding communities.
Cement tile and barrel tile roofs — the dominant roof types in Palm Beach Gardens — are porous by design. They’re built to allow airflow and resist cracking in heat. But that porosity means algae can penetrate the surface quickly once it gets a foothold. A roof that’s been neglected for 2 to 3 years will often require more extensive treatment to get fully clean.
Compounding the issue: Palm Beach Gardens homes are often surrounded by mature landscaping — live oaks, slash pines, and palms that create shade on the roof. Shaded sections stay damp longer and tend to develop heavier staining. Communities like Mirasol and Frenchman’s Reserve, where homes sit close to natural preserves, often see the fastest regrowth between cleanings.
Act now: Gloeocapsa magma doesn’t just look bad — it actively breaks down roofing materials over time. The algae feeds on the limestone filler in cement tiles, reducing granule coverage and shortening your roof’s useful life. A $500 cleaning today can extend your roof’s life by years and protect a replacement that could cost $15,000 or more.
The Right Way to Clean Palm Beach Gardens Tile Roofs
High-pressure washing is still advertised throughout Palm Beach County, and it still causes problems. Pressure above 1,200 PSI breaks mortar at ridge caps, cracks older
cement tiles, and forces water under the underlayment — sometimes causing interior leaks that don’t show up until months later. We’ve seen Palm Beach Gardens homeowners spend more on repairs after a pressure wash than the cleaning itself cost.
Florida Clean Roof uses a manufacturer-approved softwash process that applies a biodegradable cleaning solution at 100 to 200 PSI — about the pressure of your garden hose. The solution kills algae, mold, and mildew at the root, not just at the surface. This is why softwash results last 2 to 4 years while pressure washing often shows regrowth within 6 to 12 months.
Our process follows cleaning guidelines from Boral and Eagle — the two most common cement tile manufacturers for Palm Beach Gardens homes. If your roof was installed by a local builder in the 2000s or 2010s, there’s a good chance it’s a Boral or Eagle product. Using a non-approved cleaning method on these roofs can void your manufacturer’s warranty, which matters if you ever need to make a repair claim.
Pro tip: If you’re buying or selling a home in a Palm Beach Gardens HOA community, a roof cleaning and sealing before listing can meaningfully improve curb appeal and reduce the chance of a buyer’s inspector flagging maintenance issues. We can typically schedule within the week and provide a written service record you can share with the real estate transaction.
Roof Cleaning Services for Palm Beach Gardens Homeowners
We offer more than just a roof wash. Florida Clean Roof provides a complete range of exterior roof care services for Palm Beach Gardens homes:
Softwash Roof Cleaning
Complete removal of algae, mold, mildew, lichen, and black streaks from cement tile, barrel tile, concrete tile, and asphalt shingle roofs. Safe for all roof types, surrounding plants, and HOA landscaping standards.
Roof Sealing
After cleaning, our hydrophobic sealant reduces the porosity of cement tiles, slows future algae growth, and helps your roof stay clean longer between services. Especially recommended for tile roofs in shaded communities like Mirasol and Frenchman’s Reserve.
Roof Repair
We fix cracked tiles, re-mortar loose ridge caps, replace damaged cap tiles, and address minor underlayment issues found during cleaning. As a licensed roofing contractor (CC1334698), we handle repairs on-site — no second company needed.
Paver Sealing
Palm Beach Gardens driveways, pool decks, and walkways also require maintenance. We seal pavers after cleaning to protect against fertilizer staining from golf course runoff, irrigation discoloration, and weed growth.
Roof Watch Maintenance Program
Our scheduled maintenance program keeps your roof inspection-ready year-round. Ideal for homeowners in communities with strict exterior maintenance requirements who want to stay ahead of violations.

What to Expect When You Call Florida Clean Roof
From the first call to the day of service, we try to make this as easy as possible. When you call (239) 388-3814, you’ll get a real price range immediately based on your roof size and type — not a “we’ll call you back after a sales visit.” We schedule a time that works for you, arrive in uniform, and walk the property before starting.
Before any cleaning solution is applied, we cover and pre-soak all plants, shrubs, and lawn areas within the spray zone. After the job is complete, we do a full rinse of all
surrounding vegetation and provide before-and-after photos along with a written service record you can submit to your HOA or save for your records.
Our work carries a 5-year warranty. If your HOA inspects after we’ve cleaned and finds an issue within that window, we come back and take care of it at no charge. We’ve been doing this long enough to know that how we handle the occasional issue matters just as much as the cleaning itself.
Frequently Asked Questions About Roof Cleaning in Palm Beach Gardens
How much does roof cleaning cost in Palm Beach Gardens?
Most residential roof cleaning jobs in Palm Beach Gardens range from $400 to $900 depending on roof size, pitch, and degree of staining. Homes in larger HOA communities with two-story designs and steeper tile roofs tend to fall at the higher end. Call (239) 388-3814 for a free quote — we can usually give you a ballpark over the phone
Which HOA communities in Palm Beach Gardens do you work with?
We work across all of Palm Beach Gardens, including PGA National, Mirasol, BallenIsles, Frenchman’s Reserve, Evergrene, Old Palm, and Frenchman’s Creek. We’re familiar with the HOA documentation requirements in these communities and can provide proof of service after the job is done.
Do you clean barrel tile roofs as well as flat concrete tile?
Yes. We clean barrel tile, S-tile (also called Spanish tile or concrete S-tile), flat concrete tile, and asphalt shingle roofs. The cleaning method varies slightly by roof type, but our softwash process is safe and effective for all of them. Palm Beach Gardens homes have a mix of all these types across different communities and build eras.
Will the cleaning chemicals hurt my landscaping?
Not when applied correctly. We pre-soak all plants, grass, and shrubs in the surrounding area before starting and do a thorough rinse when we finish. Our cleaning solutions are biodegradable and pH-balanced. We’ve cleaned hundreds of roofs in Palm Beach Gardens communities with manicured landscaping without a single claim of plant damage.
Are you a licensed contractor, or just a cleaning company?
Florida Clean Roof is a licensed Florida roofing contractor (License CC1334698). That means we can legally perform both cleaning and roof repairs. Many pressure washing companies operating in Palm Beach County are not licensed contractors and cannot legally touch your roof tiles — which creates a liability problem if they cause damage.
