Active leaks, gas smell, and animal-in-flue jump the queue over cosmetic roof cleaning work. We text realistic ETAs, not "we'll get to it."

Standard bookings inside Cambridge: 3–5 business days. Same-day: usually before 2pm if we get the call by 9am. Emergency (water in flue, active leak): 90 minutes on weekdays, 3 hours weekends.
Common questions
Are you WETT and WSIB certified?
Yes — WETT SITE-Comprehensive #C-46082, CSIA #12408, and active WSIB #7248194. Certificates emailed on request before the job.
When's the best time of year for roof cleaning in Cambridge?
Late September through mid-November with Cambridge averaging 109cm of snow starting December. Spring (April–May) is the second window and often 10–15% cheaper.
Do you offer same-day roof cleaning in Cambridge?
Usually — call before 9am and we'll confirm a same-day arrival window inside Cambridge for most standard scopes.
What if it rains or snows on the booking day?
Roof-side work reschedules to the next dry window at no charge. Interior scopes (firebox, damper, appliance) proceed regardless.
Do you need a permit for roof cleaning in Cambridge?
Cleaning and inspection are permit-exempt in Cambridge. Structural masonry, liner replacement, or a new appliance install typically need one — we pull it as part of the job when required.
Is roof cleaning covered by home insurance in Cambridge?
Sudden damage (storm, animal, appliance failure) is usually covered minus deductible. Gradual wear generally isn't. A written pro assessment before the claim call materially improves outcomes.
How much does roof cleaning cost in Cambridge?
Most Cambridge jobs land between $314 and $502. Complex access or heritage masonry can reach $816. We quote fixed price after a free on-site scope.
How long does roof cleaning take in Cambridge?
2–4 hrs is typical for a straightforward job. Bookings in dense downtown zones add 15–20 minutes for parking and staging.
