Is it worth cleaning my roof before selling my house?
Answered by Luke at Westside Roof Cleaning & Soft Wash, with more than 12 years on Perth roofs.
Usually, yes. The roof is one of the first things buyers see in listing photos, and a stained or mossy roof makes a home look older and less cared for. A professional clean is a modest cost compared with its effect on first impressions and a building inspection.
Why it helps
- Listing photos: drone and street shots show the roof clearly.
- Building inspections: moss and blocked gutters can raise questions for buyers.
- Kerb appeal: a clean roof, gutters and front walls lift the whole house.
What to book
Roof clean, gutters, and a soft wash of the front walls and eaves give the biggest difference. Driveway and paving cleaning finish it off.
Timing
Book two to four weeks before photos, so any lichen has time to finish fading. Tell us your listing date when you request a quote.
