Even though you don’t look at your roof often, there are some telltale signs that you should have your roof professionally cleaned. It’s best to hire a professional roof cleaner as soon as you notice signs of wear and tear to preserve the essential feature’s longevity. Some indicators to look out for include:

Leaf buildup in gutters

Dirt and grime buildup

Moss or black algae growth

Dirt buildup under shingles

Shifting roof shingles

Plant growth

On average, cleaning a roof will take between two to five hours. This timeline depends on the size and slope of your roof and the severity of any stains. Cleaning roof stains can take additional time, especially if there are signs of moss or algae.

In addition, the age of your roof makes an enormous difference in the time it takes to clean it, as older roofs need more gentle care. If you have significant landscaping in your yard by your house, your professional roof cleaner will need additional time to protect it from cleaning chemicals

It is not advisable to DIY a roof cleaning job. Cleaning your roof yourself could lead to hazardous falls, scrapes, and even burns, making this a dangerous project. Additionally, using the wrong cleaning solution or cleaning method on your roof could risk damaging it. While some markets offer a DIY roof cleaning kit, these products often speed up the deterioration of your roof.

To ensure that you and your roof are protected, it’s best to leave roof cleaning to a professional with the right chemicals, tools, and equipment to complete the job safely.

Leaks often occur around the rubber gasket that seals the pipe, not the pipe itself. Over time, these gaskets crack or shrink, allowing water in. Replacing the gasket solves the issue.

Chimney flashing prevents water from entering where the chimney meets the roof. Damaged flashing can lead to hidden leaks, mold, and structural rot. Timely repairs protect both your roof and interior.

It’s recommended to have your roof inspected once a year and after any major storm. Regular inspections help catch small issues before they turn into costly repairs.
