3 Reasons You Should Have your Roof Cleaned

The roof is an important part of any building, built to last for decades. However, proper maintenance is a must.

 

#1: A roof that has been well maintained lasts longer, which in turn can only help the market value of your home or building. Problems with your roof may occur as the house or building gets older. Weather conditions, fungus, moss, and algae can cause discoloration as well as damage to shingles. When regular cleaning or maintenance is neglected what could have been a simple cleaning project can become an expensive chore. Having to replace shingles or tiles, or worse, the entire roof can be extremely costly.

#2:A clean roof can improve the energy efficiency of your home. If algae, moss, or debris is covering your roof it is no longer able to effectively reflect sunlight. Shingles covered in algae absorb more heat than shingles that can reflect the light.  This additional heat absorbtion in turn heats your attic, thus increasing your cooling costs.

#3:A clean roof usually looks like a brand new roof. A clean roof not only makes your home more appealing to the eye it can increase the value of your home if you are trying to sell. Having a well manicured lawn and freshly pressure washed driveway is great, but what does it say about your home’s condition if the roof looks like it needs to be replaced because it’s so dirty?
