Kent's Go-To for Roof Cleaning and Exterior Washing
Kent spans from valley floor to East Hill's 400-foot elevation, creating two distinct moss-growth zones in a single zip code. Valley properties near the Green River face heavy morning fog and moisture retention 9 months yearly, while East Hill homes battle steep slopes (averaging 28-32 degrees) and massive Douglas firs dropping needles constantly. We've learned through experience that a home near Kent Station needs completely different service frequency than properties up in Scenic Hill—yet most companies quote the same rate for both.
Expert Roof and Exterior Cleaning in Kent
Kent's valley-floor homes develop what roofers call 'chronic dampness'—your north-facing slopes never fully dry from October through May, creating 50-60% more moss than elevated areas. Our soft wash includes valley-specific algaecides that work in low-light, high-moisture conditions where standard treatments fail within 8 months. East Hill properties need steep-access harness work (we're equipped) but actually stay cleaner longer due to better drainage and sun exposure.
We offer comprehensive exterior cleaning services to Kent homeowners:
- Soft Wash Roof Cleaning – Safe, effective moss and algae removal that won't damage your shingles

Why Kent Homeowners Choose SWR Cleaning
We're not a Tacoma or Auburn company marking up Kent jobs for 'drive time'—we're in South King County daily. We know that Mill Creek Canyon properties face unique wind-driven debris, that Panther Lake homes need gutter guards against cottonwood seeds, and that downtown Kent's older 1950s-60s homes often hide aging gutters behind newer fascia. We won't upsell you zinc strips that don't work in shade, or 'premium treatments' that are unnecessary for your specific micro-climate. Just honest assessment and thorough work.

Serving Kent's Neighborhoods
East Hill and Scenic Hill average 2,200-2,800 sq ft roofs on sloped lots—requires specialized equipment and experience we've built over 6+ years servicing the area. Kent Station-area townhomes and condos face HOA requirements and limited access (we're HOA-experienced). Midway and West Kent Valley properties need bi-annual service minimum due to moisture; hill properties typically need annual. We adjust service intervals and pricing based on actual elevation, tree coverage, and sun exposure—not arbitrary neighborhood boundaries.
The Benefits of Regular Roof and Exterior Cleaning
Keeping your Kent home's exterior clean isn't just about appearance. Here's what regular maintenance does for you:
- Extends Your Roof's Life – Moss and algae hold moisture against shingles, causing premature deterioration. Remove them and your roof lasts longer.
- Prevents Water Damage – Clean gutters mean water flows away from your foundation instead of overflowing and causing expensive damage.
- Maintains Home Value – A well-maintained exterior keeps your property looking good and protects your investment.
- Saves Money Long-Term – Regular cleaning costs far less than replacing damaged roofing or repairing rot from clogged gutters.
- Improves Curb Appeal – A clean home simply looks better, whether you're living in it or selling it.
