We soft wash those roofs at low pressure, keep weight off aging tile, and treat the shaded preserve-side slopes with the extra time they need. We pre-wet and rinse vegetation and direct runoff away from preserve edges and water on every Cedar Hammock job. $299Single-Story Roof Starting Price$399Two-Story Building Starting PriceLow PSIPressure on the Tile ## 🏠 Wetland Air on Twenty-Year-Old Tile Preserve · Lakes · Early-2000s Tile Cedar Hammock Golf & Country Club sits just off Davis Boulevard in East Naples, with roughly 799 properties spread among single-family homes, attached villas, two-story veranda homes and low-rise condo buildings. It was built up in the early 2000s, and the listings we have reviewed show CBS stucco construction with concrete tile roofs throughout. What sets it apart is how much of the land was left natural. More than half of it is preserve, lakes and wetland, and it borders hundreds more acres of preserve and pine forest. Recent Cedar Hammock listings show tile roofs on homes and condo buildings built from 2001 to 2003, so many roofs are now 20-plus years old. **Why that setting is hard on a roof.** Wetlands and lakes release moisture into the air all evening. Preserve trees shade the roof slopes that face them, and pine needles and leaves collect in valleys and along the bottom course of tile. All three keep a roof damp for hours after rain or dew, and a damp concrete tile is where airborne algae settles and grows. The dark streaks you see running down from the ridge are colonies of that algae, and in a setting like this they come back faster than on an open, sunny street. Roofs near preserve generally stay damp longer after dew and rain, and those slopes commonly streak first. **What twenty years does to tile.** A concrete tile roof installed around 2001 to 2003 has lost much of its original surface sealer. The tile is more porous, so algae roots more deeply and lichen, the crusty gray-green spots, becomes common on the shaded slopes. The mortar on ridges and hips has also aged and can crack. None of that means the roof is failing, but it does mean the cleaning method matters more than it did when the roof was new. Tile that is 20 years old or more has typically been through several rounds of algae growth. **Why we will not pressure wash it.** A pressure washer on twenty-year-old concrete tile blasts off what remains of the surface, roughens it so algae returns faster, and can wash out loose ridge mortar. Walking on tile crowns to reach the far side of the roof is the most common way tile gets cracked. Soft washing avoids both. We apply a diluted sodium hypochlorite solution, mixed with a surfactant so it clings, at about garden-hose pressure from eaves, ladders and safe walk zones. It kills algae and lichen at the root and is rinsed gently. **Single-family roofs and condo roofs are booked differently.** Owners of detached homes and villas generally arrange their own roof cleaning. The two-story low-rise condo buildings are typically maintained by their associations, which means the roof is scheduled through management, residents are given notice, and the whole building is cleaned at once. We quote each building separately, send the certificate of insurance and written scope first, and keep a separate service record for each building so the association can track its maintenance cycle. **Protecting the preserve edge and the lakes.** In a community that markets itself on its natural land, runoff matters. We soak plants and shrubs under the drip line with fresh water before and after the treatment, keep runoff on the property and out of lake banks and preserve swales, and do not spray in strong wind. We use the weakest mix that works and treat the preserve edge as if it were our own backyard. **How often in Cedar Hammock.** Most tile roofs here do well on a 12 to 24 month cycle. Roofs that back onto preserve or face a lake to the north sit at the short end, and a sunny street-facing roof can go longer. Cleaning on a steady cycle keeps algae from turning into lichen, which is slower and more expensive to remove. **What it costs.** A single-story tile roof on a single-family home or villa starts from $299. When the mortared ridges and hips need treatment, a tile roof starts from $349. Two-story roofs, including veranda homes, start from $399. A roof and house wash combo, which also removes the mildew that grows on preserve-facing stucco, starts from $599. For the low-rise condo buildings, the association receives one quote per building. **A quick checklist before you hire.** Ask what pressure will touch your tile and where the crew will walk. Ask how they protect plants, the pool cage and the lake bank. Ask for the certificate of insurance, and whether you will get photos and a written record afterward. Then, on the day, turn off irrigation, close windows and move cars from under the eaves. Gated CommunityCedar Hammock is gated. **We confirm gate registration with you or your manager before every visit**, and send photos and a written service record by email when the roof is done.

Protect ### Plants, Cage and Cars Shrubs and flower beds along the drip line get a thorough fresh-water soaking. The pool cage, lanai furniture and cars are protected from overspray, and on lake lots we plan the rinse so it stays on the property. Clear ### Valleys and Gutters Pine needles and leaves from the preserve are removed from valleys, gutters and the lowest course of tile by hand, so the solution reaches the tile beneath. Treat ### Soft Wash, Longer on the Shade Side The solution is applied at low pressure, with extra dwell time on preserve-facing and north slopes where lichen is heaviest. Ridges and hips are treated by hand. Close ### Rinse, Re-Water, Report Gutters and downspouts are flushed, plants rinsed again, and you or the manager receive photos and the written service record. Lichen Takes TimeAlgae streaks disappear the same day. **Lichen spots die on the day but can take a few weeks of rain to fully fade.** That is normal, and a second pressure pass would only damage the tile. ## 💰 Roof Cleaning Pricing in Cedar Hammock Typical ranges · Free written quote | Service | Typical Price | Notes | | ------- | ------------- | ----- | | Single-story tile roof | From $299 | Single-family and villa homes | | Two-story roof | From $399 | Low-rise condo buildings | | Tile roof + ridge cap treatment | From $349 | Ridges and hips | | Roof + house wash combo | From $599 | Roof plus stucco walls | Final pricing depends on size, access and condition.

Usually not on your own. Low-rise condo roofs are typically association-maintained, so ask management. We can quote the building for the board. ### Is soft washing safe near the preserve and lakes? Yes, when done correctly. We pre-wet and rinse plants, keep runoff on the property and out of lake banks, and do not spray in strong wind. ### Why are there still gray spots after cleaning? Those are dead lichen. They fade over the following weeks of rain. Pressure washing them off would damage the tile. ### Can you clean my pool cage on the same day? Yes. See our [Cedar Hammock lanai page](https://naples-pressure-washing.com/lanai-pool-cage-cleaning-cedar-hammock-naples/). ### Do you clean tile roofs elsewhere in Naples? Yes.
