So what are the 5 reasons to wash your Roof?

Most people wash their roofs when they see black marks, mold, mildew, lichens, moss, dirt, leaves or tree debris on their roof. This is true for getting their house or siding pressure washed. We get call when people see their homes are dirty or have mold or mildew on the brick or siding. In addition, people search for a pressure washing company when they are about to have a special event at their home. All of these are great reason to pressure wash your home and to clean your roof. Although there are additional reasons why you should have your roof washed.

Insurance companies can cancel your homeowners policy if your roof has black streaks or marks, lichens, mold or mildew. It is up to the homeowner to keep their roof clean. Homeowner insurance policies have a clause that says if you neglect your home (and roof) your policy can be cancelled. Therefore, having your roof washed is critical to keep your insurance company from cancelling your homeowners policy.
Roof replacement costs up to ten times more than roof cleaning. If your insurance company thinks your roof is in need of a roof replacement because of it’s dirty appearance, you could end up paying tens of thousands for roof replacement. This is especially costly because most roofs are just dirty and the black streaks, mold, mildew , lichens and tree debris can be cleaned and removed with soft roof washing. So if you allow your roof to stay dirty, you may be forced into buying a new roof instead of simply having your roof washed for thousands less.
The longer you wait to clean your roof the more damage is being done to it. The black marks or streaks on your roof as well as the lichens, mold and mildew are signs of bacteria and fungus. These bacteria or algae eat at your roof destroying your roof shingles. Your roof shingles are what keep your home dry from the rain and snow. In addition, the roof shingles insulate your home throughout the year. When the roof shingles are damaged they no longer protect your home. Therefore, you will see higher electrical bills, possibly water damage on your ceiling and your roof needing to be replaced much sooner. Washing your roof preserves your roof’s life expectancy. Most roofs last 25 years when cleaned at least every 5 years. Dirty roofs eventually need to be replaced because of the long term damage which is preventable.
A clean roof makes your house more valuable and have better curb appeal. Yes, a clean roof makes your home more valuable as your roof’s life expectancy preserved. In addition, a clean roof is a sign of a home well maintained. If you are selling your home, buyers are worried about the condition of your home and roof. A house that has been pressure washed and had the roof cleaned will almost always sell faster and for more money than a similar house that looks dirty and neglected. Therefore, having your roof soft washed and your home pressure cleaned can increase your sales price substantially higher than the cost of having your roof and home cleaned.
Personal enjoyment. A clean roof and house feels good to come home to after work or a long day. Just like driving a dirty car or entering a disorganized room is uncomfortable, a dirty home exterior ( and interior) is unattractive and feels dirty. The same way it feels good to have your car washed and waxed, it feels even better to have your roof cleaned and house pressure washed. When you have your home exterior pressure washed including your patio, deck, fence and outdoor furniture, you are more proud to invite company. And more importantly, you feel good to know your home is being invested in and your home is your personal castle and every day feels like a vacation.
