As the days get warmer and you start spending more time outside, you might notice some stains and discoloration on your roof. There are many factors that can negatively affect the condition and appearance of your roof including algae, lichen, mildew, and moss. While some of these stains look unsightly, others can actually inflict serious permanent damage to the roof and the structure beneath it. As Oahu’s leading residential and commercial roofing company, On Top Roofing provides honest and affordable roofing maintenance and repair services to homeowners on the island.

These are reasons regular coating and cleaning is important in keeping your roof in tip-top shape:

• Fungus Damage: The presence of algae and lichen does not necessarily mean that you need to replace your roof, but it does signify that your existing one needs attention. Professional roof cleaning and coating eliminates destructive green and black fungus and inhibits their growth.
• Roof Leaks: Roof cleaning and coating go hand in hand when it comes to preventing roof leaks. A high-quality roof coating acts as an additional layer that can withstand frost damage and prevent water penetration.
• Cracks & Splits: Extreme weather conditions can cause roofing materials to crack, split, blister, or buckle. Roof coating has elastic and malleable qualities that allow it to expand and contract along with your roof after prolonged exposure to cold and heat.
• Wear & Tear: Roof cleaning and coating can make your roof look brand new at a much more cost-effective price than roof replacement. Professional roof maintenance services include a variety of cleaning methods that can clear up even the most deep-seated dirt on any roofing material.
