Your home’s roof is vital to maintaining a safe and comfortable living space, and taking proper care of it means getting the necessary repairs and replacements when needed. However, an often overlooked part of home maintenance is cleaning, and sometimes that’s all your roof needs instead of repairs or a replacement. Here’s what you should know about what roof cleaning is and the benefits it offers.

What’s Involved In Roof Cleaning?

Cleaning a roof involves using specific products and high-quality equipment to effectively rid it of dirt, bacteria, algae, and debris. A professional crew will apply the needed cleaning products and pressure wash every inch of your roof, including around chimneys and gutters. This restores a like-new appearance and removes water-logged debris. If your roof experiences algae growth, special solutions will be used to effectively remove it without damaging the material.

When Is It Useful?

Roof cleanings should be done every two to three years, or when needed. If your roof appears unkempt, dingy, streaked, or covered in mold and debris, it can lead you to think you need repairs or a replacement, but it can often be salvaged with a professional cleaning. Cleaning removes algae growth and debris that, left untreated, could cause you to need a replacement due to decay. Cleanings are also useful for boosting your home’s value, aesthetic, and curb-appeal and removing the built-up grime allows for easier analyzation of the condition of your roof.
