Spring Cleaning For Your Roof

Why?

As spring time rolls around, it’s time to get rid of that winter debris, get your roof looking nice, and reduce the risks of leaks or roof problems. Cleaning your roof is an important aspect of spring cleaning, even if no one enjoys the hassle of it. Regular maintenance will extend its lifespan and make it easier to find potential problems before they arise. Regularly inspecting your roof to identify any problems, like moss growth, dark spots, or accumulation of debris, helps to avoid gradual roof damage. Roof cleaning, when done right is a cost saving alternative to roof replacement. Following simple roof maintenance tips will save you money, time, and energy in the long run.

How?

Accumulated leaves, twigs, bird droppings, and other debris are common issues homeowners deal with when cleaning roofs. With the development of organic growths, you’ll have an even bigger problem that needs to be addressed appropriately. Before you take out the ladder and climb up the roof, consider doing a visual inspection of your roof from the ground. Look out for obvious signs like gutter blockages, debris, and roof damage. Look out for any hidden spots, tree branches, debris and blockages in roof gutters, bubbling on the surface, curling or missing shingles. Buckled, missing, or curled shingles will need replacement.  Cleaning includes things like gutter cleaning, pressure washing, moss or algae removal, and checking for mold or mildew. These are just a few of the easy things you can do as a home or business owner to ensure your roof stays in good shape.
