What Is Soft Wash Roof Cleaning And Why Should I Care?
Your roof is one of the most expensive parts of your Maryland home. Your roof is exposed to the elements and can become damaged from mildew, moss, and algae that eat away at the asphalt shingles. The best way to do this is by having your roof soft washed to kill and remove algae, moss and other growths.
As part of our EZ promise we have some easy processes to help get your roof cleaned and looking new again! The process starts with quick roof inspection to make sure there are no loose or missing shingles. Then the surface has an eco safe and family friendly chemical applied to kill any growth on your roof. After this is applied we rinse it off. If the roof has a lot of contaminates on it we may need to apply the chemicals a second time and then rinse again. After the process is complete your roof will be algae free!
BENEFITS OF SOFT WASHING
Soft washing has lots of benefits like killing mildew, moss and algae and removing dirt and debris. It does not matter what type of roof you have. Metal, shingled, or any other type of roof should be washed at least every year to ensure it lasts.
Did you know washing your roof can keep your house cooler during the summer months? Dirt, algae, and mold can trap heat and reduce the heat transfer from your roof to the outside air causing your HVAC system to work harder!
We have a few different home cleaning services, including roof cleaning in Maryland for homeowners. Give us a call and we can answer any questions you may have!
MATERIALS THAT ARE SUITABLE FOR SOFT WASHING
Asphalt shingled roofs often require this type of service more often than other types. That is because the algae that causes streaks and spots on your roof actually eats away at the asphalt material. We only use pet and family safe methods for cleaning your roof to ensure that your get the most from your investment!
HOW OFTEN SHOULD I GET MY ROOF SOFT WASHED?
Asphalt shingles only last 10-20 years and to really stretch their lifespan it is very important to keep your roof clean! Tree heavy areas can cause additional damage from leaves, seeds, and fruit that can stain your roof. Soft washing can prolong the life of your Maryland roof by removing moss, algae, and mildew from roofs made of asphalt shingles, metal, or tile.
Even though soft washing is recommended for cleaning your roof it cannot make an old or damaged roof brand new. There will be signs of aging if you have an older roof. However, soft washing can definitely bring a lot of luster back to your home. Which is especially great if you are getting ready to sell your home, trying to throw a big party or bring a little extra pop to your curb appeal.
