You may not spend much time looking up at your roof, but if you did, you might find it discolored with a buildup of dirt, grime, and other contaminants. Even if you haven’t noticed such buildup, it’s still important to have your roof cleaned regularly. Here are a few things you should know about roof cleaning.
- Why is it important? The buildup of dirt and grime can cause unsightly discoloration of your roof that can leave your house looking less appealing. There are other contaminants, however, that build up on your roofing materials that can cause worse damage than discoloration. A buildup of mold, mildew, and algae can cause the roofing materials to deteriorate over time and shorten the lifespan of your roof before you need to replace it. Scheduling regular roof cleaning services can help remove these harmful contaminants and protect your roofing materials to help them last longer.
- The cleaning method matters: In the past, the most common roof cleaning method had been pressure or power washing. The high amount of water pressure can potentially damage your roofing materials, however, so it’s important to choose a gentler cleaning method instead. At Fick Bros. Roofing & Exterior Remodeling Company, we use soft washing to effectively clean roofs without risking any damage to the roofing materials.
- Leave it to the professionals: While you could buy or rent power washing and pressure washing equipment from a local store, this is never a good idea for cleaning your roof. By leaving the roof cleaning to the professionals like us, you can ensure the safety of both yourself and your roof, produce more effective results, and save time and money by leaving the cleaning task to us instead.
We can offer the roof cleaning services you need to remove stains, mold, mildew, algae, dirt, grime, and other contaminants from your roof to keep it in top condition without any risk of damage. Give us a call if you would like to learn more.
