Roof Cleaning.

When it comes to cleaning different components of the house, most homeowners tend to overlook the exterior part of the roof. The sloped layout of the roof makes it tricky to clean it as typically as other parts of the house. However, this neglect in cleaning not only mars the beauty of the house, in the long run it can also prove expensive if the shingles have to be replaced. A more inexpensive resolution is to clean and maintain the roof properly and regularly. For this task, it is better to hire professional contractors who provide roof cleaning services.
Roofs of the houses that are situated in an area where there is trouble of high humidity tend to suffer growth of fungus, mold, moss and algae. The dirty roof starts looking worn out and even if the house is well designed; the unsightly look of the roof is the first issue that visitors notice. But more than the unattractive look, the development of moss and mold can also lead to health dilemmas if the inhabitants of the house breathe the spores of the fungus. These growths can damage the shingles to the level where homeowners is left with no choice but to replace them. However, if you have your roof cleaned by Roof Cleaner, you can extend the life of your shingles.
Pressure washing is never recommended to clean a roof because it will remove large amounts of the ceramic coated granules from your shingles, which will void the warranty. Even so called “ low pressure” washing will cause roof granule loss and shorten the live of your shingles. If you have ever cleaned your gutters you will notice a large amount of granules in them just from the rain taking them off.
 Now imagine what a pressure washer would do !
Roof Cleaner uses a Soft-Wash method to clean your roof of mold, mildew and algae from your roof.
Homeowners who tend to neglect roof cleaning have to go for premature replacement of shingles. Commonly a well-maintained roof should last 20-30 years. However, presently most homeowners who are unable to properly maintain the roof have to replace the shingles in less than 10 years time.
