So what exactly is Roof Cleaning?

Roof Cleaning is the process of removing moss, mold, mildew, and algae off your roof.

Some roof cleaning companies offer roof snow removal, debris removal, limb/tree removal and some companies will remove pretty much anything Mother Nature decides to leave behind.

Why should I clean my roof?

We find that there are three primary reasons our customers have their roofs cleaned:

1) To enhance their curb appeal

2) To stop damage from roof growth

3) Insurance and Mortgage Requirement

Enhance Curb AppealRoof clean can make an old roof look new again which can be giant improvement to a home or businesses aesthetics without having to replace the roof. With a single roof cleaning you can up the resell value by making the roof look new and with the current real estate “buyers market” any options to save money and attract buyers is a good thing. Many houses the roof is the main thing you see and having black roof stains and moss patches can make a beautiful home look horrible. Several of our customers have us clean their roofs every 2 years just to maintain the appearance.

Stop damageRoof growth such as roof moss and roof lichen break down asphalt shingles by pulling off the roofs granules causing premature failure; having roof moss, lichen and algae can cut several years off the life of a roof in only a few years. Many insurance companies have started to cancel or not issue policies if there is any roof growth making this a major concern for homeowners.

Insurance and Mortgage RequirementInsurance and Mortgage companies now require roofs to be cleaned to acquire loans and to secure insurance. Due to the increased costs and liability underwriters are not willing to take the risk as the damage caused by these growth can lead to failure of the roof causing $1000s in damage. Some companies believe roof stains will lead to problems with the roof integrity and that roof mold and algae will eventual move inside the home. All of these items are 'risks' for the insurance company, because they may result in a claim against the policy.
