Benefits of regular residential roof cleaning include:
Removing algae and moss that eat away at roofing tiles.
Exposing areas of damage in need of immediate repair.
Removing corrosive residues from shingles.
Reducing silt and mud that winds up in a home's gutters.
Restoring the color of a roof.
Snow on a home's roof might be holding leaves, twigs, and other such debris. As the snow melts, that debris stays behind, causing damage to shingles and tiles. Homes in areas prone to heavy snowfall benefit from power washing by a roof cleaning company every spring, to remove that damaging debris.
Trees regularly shed leaves, seeds, sap, and other such debris, and provide a spot for birds to sit and nest. Residues from these trees as well as bird feathers and droppings are damaging to a home's roof. Houses located in neighborhoods with lots of mature trees typically need roof washing more often than others.
Soot and air pollution might be more common in areas with heavy vehicle traffic, or those with a nearby airport. Homes located near busy roadways, airports, or any venue that attracts heavy traffic typically need roof washing on a continuous basis.
Never assume that a new roof doesn't need washing! The age of your home's roof doesn't affect the amount of dirt, soot, acid rain residue, and other debris to which it's exposed. Having a new roof power washed on a regular basis will keep it in good repair and always looking its best.
Many of today's roofing tiles and shingles are treated with a copper or zinc that is meant to keep them intact for many years; however, these materials can break down over time, so your roof should still be inspected for needed repairs. No matter the materials of your shingles, have your home's roof washed regularly so you can check those tiles for damage and decay.
Note, too, that regularly washing your home's roof protects its appearance and curb appeal, perhaps more so than you realize! Homeowners are often surprised at the difference a thorough roof wash and exterior house washing makes when it comes to the overall look of their entire property, Schedule and estimate for a Roof wash today !
