Roof Washing 

Roof washing is an important part of home maintenance, helping to protect your roof from organic growth, prolong its lifespan, and enhance the overall appearance of your property. Whether you choose soft washing or pressure washing depends on the type of roof and the extent of the contamination. For delicate roofs, soft washing is the preferred choice, as it’s gentler and more effective at removing algae and moss without causing damage. If you're unsure about how to clean your roof, or if it's difficult to access, hiring a professional roof cleaning service is a safe and efficient option.

Why Roof Washing is Important

​

  1. Prevents Roof Damage

    • Moss and Algae Growth: Over time, moss, algae, and lichen can accumulate on your roof. These growths can cause deterioration of the roof materials by trapping moisture, which can lead to leaks, wood rot, and shingle damage.

    • Debris Buildup: Leaves, twigs, and branches can build up on the roof, especially in valleys, gutters, and ridges. If left unattended, these materials can trap water, leading to potential leaks or the formation of ice dams in colder climates.

  2. Extends Roof Life

    • Regular roof cleaning helps prevent damage from organic growth and debris, which can extend the lifespan of your roofing materials. For example, removing moss from asphalt shingles prevents it from lifting the shingles and causing early wear and tear.

  3. Enhances Curb Appeal

    • A clean roof greatly improves the overall look of your home. Over time, dirt and algae can create unsightly stains, particularly on the north side of the roof, where moisture and shade can promote the growth of moss and algae. A clean roof improves the visual appeal of the home and enhances curb appeal.

  4. Energy Efficiency

    • Algae and dirt can cause the shingles to absorb more heat, which can lead to higher cooling costs during summer. Cleaning the roof ensures the shingles reflect heat, improving the energy efficiency of your home.

  5. Preserves Gutter Function

    • Debris such as leaves and branches can clog gutters and downspouts, leading to water backup and possible damage to the roof and siding. Roof cleaning ensures your gutters function properly by keeping debris from accumulating.
