Regular roof cleaning helps prevent unnecessary repairs or a more costly roof replacement.  Specifically, regular cleaning can help to prevent the following issues:

• Moss build-up may strip your shingles of their water-repellent layers, causing leaks in your roof.
• Attracting living creatures who find dirt, moss, and debris an attractive natural habitat.
• Regular roof cleaning can double the life of your roof and prevent the need for a $12,000 to $20,000 roof replacement.

In addition to a regular cleaning, your roof may require some spot repairs due to the roof’s age or recent weather conditions. What should you look for as indications that you need some roof repairs?

• Missing or torn shingles – increases the likelihood of nearby shingles being blown off.
• Curling or split shingles – indicates that they’ve lost their waterproofing layers.
• Missing flashing around your chimneys, skylights or vent pipes can lead to a leaky roof.
• Discolorations, cracked paint or peeling wallpaper – a sure sign that you’re experiencing a leak roof.

Do you need a full roof replacement? Or just too many repairs making a full roof replacement more economical? A full roof replacement allows an inspection of your roof frame for damage and rot as well as increasing your curb appeal for a future sale.
