Replacing the roof of your home could cost you thousands of dollars. Even smaller roof replacements can cost $4,000. Extending the life of your roof and protecting your house is easy with these tips!
Between critters like birds, squirrels, and raccoons, falling leaves and branches, and the growth of moss and mold, it’s not hard to see how roofs get so dirty. It’s unavoidable, but don’t let it stay dirty! Always inspect your roof for signs of wear and tear, and have it professionally inspected every few years to catch signs of damage that might be easily overlooked by most homeowners.
IN THE MEANTIME, KEEP YOUR ROOF CLEAR OF CREATURES AND DEBRIS!
It may be tempting to blast the black streaks off of your roof with a pressure washer, but this would do more harm than good! Pressure washing will certainly blast mold, moss, algae, and lichens off of your roof, but it’ll ruin your shingles and damage your roof in the process.
Instead, invest in having your roof cleaned by a non-Pressure RCIA certified roof cleaning professional. Whereas even a lightweight pressure washer operates at 1300 PSI (pounds of pressure being applied per square inch), Elite Clean’s non-pressure system works at just 80-90 PSI to effectively remove unsightly roof stains. Doesn’t that sound safer? Thanks to our non-pressure system, Elite Clean can remove the black and green streaks from your roof without also removing your roof’s protective surface and causing unnecessary, avoidable damage.
Elite Clean offers non-pressure RCIA Certified Roof Cleaning around the Winston-Salem, Greensboro, and High Point communities and everywhere in between. If you’re in the Triad area and interested in prolonging the life of your roof and cleaning up your curb appeal, give us a call at 336-408-5874 for a free estimate.
Repair it before you have to replace it!
If you find leaks in your roof, no matter how small, contact a professional to repair the damage immediately. You may think a minor patch here and there will save you money in the long run, but small damages can quickly become big problems if left unattended. Repairing leaks as soon as you notice them could save you thousands of dollars on a roof replacement.
