Free inspectionNOAA's 1991 to 2020 normals for the Homestead airport station show 59.9 inches of rain a year, and 46.9 of those inches fall from May through October. August alone averages 10.17 inches over about 19 rainy days. Hurricane season runs June 1 to November 30. A roof valley or gutter packed with leaves has no room left when a month of rain arrives in a week.
Homestead homes range from older houses near Krome Avenue to subdivisions built since the 1990s and farmhouses on large Redland lots. The roof edge, the gutter and the last few feet of the downspout decide where the water goes. We clear all three, then look at where the water ends up.
Most of the overflow calls we get start at a downspout elbow. A fistful of wet debris lodges at the first bend, and the whole gutter behind it backs up. That is why we flush every downspout and watch the water leave, instead of stopping when the trough looks clear.
Walk a Homestead block after a storm and count the trees over the roofs: mango, avocado, royal palm, ficus. Each one drops something different, and we plan each job around what hangs over that roof. A house beside a grove or a nursery lot gets a look at the roof valleys and the gutter ends first, since leaf litter packs down there.
We are licensed and insured, and we are happy to send you proof before the job. You are letting someone climb onto your roof. You should know who they are.
Rain lands on the roof, runs into the gutters, and leaves through the downspouts. We clean every stop on that path.
Gutters collect more than leaves. Seed pods, matted debris, pollen paste, and grit from old shingles all settle in the trough, and a leaf blower does not touch most of it. Hands and scoops do.
We clear every run, bag the debris, and take it with us. Then we check hangers, seams, and the fascia behind the gutter for damage you cannot see from the ground.
Most overflow starts at a downspout, not in the gutter. We run water through every downspout and clear the blockage at the elbow or outlet. If your downspouts tie into a buried drain pipe, we flush that line too.
Guards keep out large debris, but pollen, seed pods, and grit still get through and settle underneath. We lift the guards or screens, clean them, and clear the trough below.
Rain leaves dark streaks and oxidation on the outside face of your gutters, even when the inside is clean. We wash the face of each run so the gutters match the rest of your roofline.
Roof cleaning here means low pressure and a roof-safe cleaner. The dark streaks come off, and your shingles, tile, flat roof, or metal stay intact. We clear the gutters first so the rinse has somewhere to go, then flush them again at the end. See how soft washing works.
Homestead has a wet season and a dry season. NOAA's Homestead normals show rain climbing from 2.92 inches in April to 5.77 in May and peaking at 10.17 in August, then falling to 2.34 by November. Hurricane season runs June 1 to November 30. The cleaning calendar follows those numbers.
| When | What happens here | What we do |
|---|---|---|
| Mid-October to December | Rain falls from 5.86 inches in October to 1.97 in December, and the roofs still carry hurricane-season debris. | A full gutter cleaning and a roof wash while the weather is dry. |
| January to April | The driest stretch, at 1.70 to 2.92 inches a month. Fruit and flowering trees drop litter on the roofs. | The best window for soft washing roofs and brightening gutters. |
| May | Rain jumps to 5.77 inches, and the wet season starts around May 15. | Clear the gutters and downspouts and check the roof drains before the first storms. |
| June to mid-August | Monthly rain of 7 to 10 inches on 17 to 19 days, with Saharan dust at its heaviest from late June. | Storm checks and downspout flushes after heavy rain. |
| Late August to October | The peak of hurricane season, with 8.63 inches in September. | A quick cleanup after any named storm, and a check before the next one. |
Most people who search for roof pressure washing want the dark streaks gone. We get that. On asphalt shingles the streaks are usually a cyanobacterium called Gloeocapsa magma, which feeds on the limestone filler in the shingle and spreads on the wind, as the Asphalt Roofing Manufacturers Association explains. Tile, flat, and metal roofs grow algae and mildew of their own.
High pressure takes the protective surface off and can push water under the roof. We use a soft wash instead: low pressure, and a roof-safe cleaner that does the actual work.
| On your roof | High-pressure blasting | Our low-pressure soft wash |
|---|---|---|
| Shingles | Knocks off protective granules. | Granules stay in place. |
| Algae and mildew | Roots stay and streaks return sooner. | Cleaner kills growth at its base. |
| Water intrusion | Can force water under the roof surface. | Gentle flow that follows the way rain runs. |
| Tile, flat, and metal | Can chip tile and scar coatings and membranes. | Safe on tile, flat roofs, metal, and shingle. |
Homestead roofs run from concrete and clay tile on many subdivision homes to metal and shingle on older houses and farm buildings, plus flat roofs on some low-slope homes. August highs average 92°F, and the humid air grows algae and mildew on all of them. On tile we limit pressure, choose a cleaner that is compatible with concrete, and step only where the tiles overlap. On metal we wash at low pressure and watch our footing, because wet metal is slick.
Homestead is inside Miami-Dade County's High-Velocity Hurricane Zone, and roofing products installed there need a Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance. The county tightened its building code after Hurricane Andrew. We clean roofs. Repairs and re-roofing belong to a licensed roofer.
Most roofs do well with a wash every two to three years. Shaded slopes and roofs under trees grow algae faster and may need it sooner. A damp, algae-covered roof also sheds more grit into the gutters below, which is one more reason we handle both in a single visit.
Every job gets a set of photos like these. Keep the same angle for each pair.

The price depends on the feet of gutter, the number of stories, how packed the runs are and whether guards are installed. Homestead homes range from short runs over a front door to gutters around the full roofline. Call with your ZIP code and we quote by phone.
It depends on the roof size, the material, the pitch and how much algae is on it. A one-story concrete tile roof, a metal roof on a farmhouse and a two-story shingle roof are different jobs. Tell us the roof type and the stories and we quote by phone.
Early May, before rain climbs from 2.9 inches in April to 5.8 inches in May. A second visit between mid-October and December clears what hurricane season left. Homes under mango or avocado trees may need a third look in late summer.
Every two to three years suits most roofs. Slopes under trees go dark sooner.
Yes. After a named storm we move cleanups up the schedule, clear fronds, branches and leaf mats from the roof and the trough, and flush every downspout.
We clean houses and their roofs, including homes on large Redland lots. Packing houses, greenhouses and other commercial buildings are outside our work.
Pressure is the risk. Tile care guides cap cleaning pressure near 1,200 psi and warn that some cleaners etch concrete. On tile we soft wash with a compatible cleaner. On metal we keep pressure low and avoid scuffing the coating.
We clear every run by hand, remove debris from the lower roof edge, flush every downspout, and inspect hangers, seams, and fascia. You get before and after photos, and we haul the debris away.
At least twice a year, in spring and again in fall. If trees hang over your roof, plan on three or four visits a year. The calendar above shows the best timing in Homestead.
The price depends mostly on how many feet of gutter you have, how many stories the house is, and how packed the runs are. Call us with those details and we will quote it by phone.
No. If we can reach the gutters and roof, we can work while you are out. We send photos when we finish.
High pressure is not. It strips the roof surface and can push water underneath. We use a soft wash: low pressure plus a roof-safe cleaner that does the cleaning.
Algae. On asphalt shingles it is usually Gloeocapsa magma, which feeds on the limestone filler in the shingle. Tile, flat, and metal roofs grow algae and mildew too, helped along by heat, humidity, and shade.
Most roofs do well with a wash every two to three years. Shade, tree cover, and north-facing slopes can bring algae back sooner.
No. Guards keep out large debris. Pollen, seed pods, and shingle grit still get through and settle underneath. Guarded gutters need cleaning less often, but they still need it.
Yes, and it is the better way to do it. We clear the gutters first, wash the roof, then flush the gutters and downspouts again so the runoff leaves nothing behind.
