It’s almost time for spring cleaning, but there’s one area of your home you probably haven’t thought much about getting clean: the roof. Not only will a clean roof add considerable curb appeal to your home, but having your roof cleaned can also save you hundreds or even thousands of dollars in roof repair and replacement costs. Just consider a few of the benefits of getting your roof cleaned, then contact a roofing company in Ridgewood to schedule a cleaning today!
Make Your Roof Look Like New
If your roof has some years on it, it probably doesn’t look anywhere as good as it did when it was first installed. Fortunately, a thorough cleaning can remove mold, mildew, moss, bird droppings, and black stains (sometimes called magma) to restore the look of your roof and give it a like-new appearance.
Keep Your Roof Warranty Intact
If you have a newer shingled roof that came with a multi-year warranty, you might want to check the fine print. Some shingle manufacturers require you to have periodic roof cleanings to keep the warranty intact. Even if your roof manufacturer does not require cleanings as part of the warranty, doing so will help you avoid the time and headache of filing a claim for roof damage.
Prevent Roof Damage
How exactly can roof cleanings prevent roof damage? Professional roof cleaners often use a biodegradable chemical cleaner that can prevent mold, mildew, moss, magma, and other stains that can degrade roof shingles over time. The result is longer-lasting shingles that look newer, longer.
Save Money on a New Roof
Anything you can do to extend the life of your roof will save you thousands of dollars, and roof cleaning is definitely a good bit of roof maintenance that can extend the life of the roof above your head. Although the time will eventually come when you’ll need to buy a new roof, periodic cleanings can help push that time out as long as possible.
