Why is roof cleaning necessary?

Investing in roof cleaning is important for the appearance of your home, helping you present a clean and tidy exterior, but it has a more important purpose as well. If debris and grime are allowed to build up on your roofing, it can cause it to wear out and break down more rapidly than it should. Regular roof cleaning is essential if you want to prolong the lifespan of your roof.

Why is soft washing better than pressure washing when it comes to roof cleaning?

Although your roofing is designed to withstand all kinds of environmental assailants, pressure washing can seriously damage your roofing since it uses high-powered jets of water. Soft washing, on the other hand, uses a gentle flow of water and highly effective detergents to remove grime, making it safe for delicate roofs.

How often do I need to schedule roof cleaning services?

That will depend on several factors, such as your location, the type of roof you have, its age, and the presence of nearby trees. Many people choose to have their roofs cleaned every 2-5 years, but our team can help you determine the best schedule for your unique property.

Why should I hire professionals instead of handling things myself?

Roof cleaning is dangerous work if you don’t know what you’re doing or lack the proper equipment. Our team is trained and experienced, so we can get the job done quickly and safely. Our roof cleaning services also come with a 5-year warranty.
