Why should I get my roof washed?
Having a dirty roof can create all kinds of problems down the road. First, it’s unsightly and may make you lose rental income if any prospective tenants avoid looking at your house or apartment because of it or even less potential value for your home. Second, dirt and debris can cause roofs to leak which creates mold and electrical issues in addition to ruining your ceiling. And last but not least, when water sits on your roof after cleaning, ice dams form (in colder climates) which causes all sorts of problems such as peeling paint and rotting wood. If your roof is dirty enough that any one of these issues would be an issue for you then definitely consider having it professionally cleaned!
What type of roof should I get washed?
If you’re not sure whether your roof is dirty, look for these warning signs: Does it appear to be covered in a film that looks like dried soap suds or grime? Is water draining poorly from your gutters? And Do icicles form near the base of the roof after rainstorms due to melted snow build up on top? If you answered yes to any one of these questions, then it’s time to have your roof professionally cleaned! But if you answered no and are simply curious about whether your roof needs cleaning, a professional can come out to your property to do an inspection!
What is the best time of year to wash my house?
The best time of year really depends on where you live and what type of roof you have. For instance, if you live in Florida where we see tons of sunny days then any time is good because there’s no point in waiting for the weather to be perfect when it’s always perfectly beautiful outside! But in places like upstate New York or Chicago, spring and autumn are said to be the best times because there tends to be less rain during these months so you can give your roof a much more thorough cleaning.
How do I get started washing my roof?
First make sure to protect any plants, shrubs, cars, windows etc. that might get in the way of your cleaning solution by putting up barrier. Then you’ll want to start at one end of your home and work your way towards the other so that you don’t miss any spots! Lastly, make sure to let the soap sit on the roof for an extra ten minutes to truly cut through any tough grime before rinsing it off with water from a hose or power washed.
Your roof is one of the most important parts of your home, and it needs to be looked after. Dirty roofs can lead to a variety of problems like leaks, and mold. You don’t want any of these problems at all!
