Why professionals make a difference
- Safer access: Trained crews use harnesses, ladder stabilizers, and roof‑safe routes.
- Better finish:Deionized (DI) water and soft‑bristle brushes lift residue without spotting or film.
- Faster & tidier: Repeatable workflows and controlled rinse lines protect landscaping.
- Documentation: Before/after photos and quick notes for your records.
Cost & ROI (the simple view)
Compare the value of recovered energy to the service price. If production rebounds by 10–30% in dusty or coastal areas, cleaning often pays for itself—especially with higher utility rates.
When DIY is reasonable
- Single‑story, gentle‑pitch roofs with easy access.
- Short runs and minimal debris; comfort with ladders.
- Finish with a DI rinse when possible; avoid pressure washers and harsh chemicals.
What pros actually do
- Site & safety check (pitch, anchors, access).
- Dry brush to loosen dust and shorten rinse time.
- Flow‑through brush + DI rinse for a spot‑free finish.
- Edges & debris cleared; light tidy of the area.
- Photos & notes shared after the visit.
Cadence that works
Most homes do well with 6–12 month cleaning. Step up to 3–6 months in dusty corridors, coastal salt, or after wildfire ash. Book the second visit in advance to save 25% off.
Bottom line
Pros combine safe access, gentle methods, and clear documentation. You get consistent results and fewer headaches—often with better production to match.
