What Are the Benefits?
Periodic roof washing confers several benefits, including:
- Preventive maintenance: As mentioned previously, removing dirt, moss, algae, and other contaminants from your roof can prevent these materials from damaging various roof components.
-
- Identifying minor issues before they become big problems: Having your roof cleaned by skilled professionals means they can find small problems, such as missing or damaged shingles, before they cause major, expensive problems.
- Roof longevity: Regular washings can extend the life of your roof, which means more time between expensive re-roofing of your home.
- Curb appeal: A clean roof beautifies your home. If you’ve never had your roof washed, you will be amazed at what a difference it makes to your home’s appearance.
- Increased property value: Because your home looks better than comparable homes whose roofs have not been cared for, it will command a higher price from interested buyers–often much more than the cost of washing the roof.
When Should I Have My Roof Washed?
Roof washing can be done any time the weather permits. A roof washing every year can be part of your “spring cleaning” routine, but it should be done any time you see moss, algae, or other contaminants on your roof.
Can I Do It Myself?
