How do I know when it’s time for a roof cleaning, and what are the benefits?

Some signs that it’s time to set up a roof cleaning are when you start seeing different colored spots on your shingles. The spots can be dark, light, or colored, depending on what’s causing the discoloration. Shaded or damp roof sections are the most prone to growing fungi or algae.
The valleys on roofs are also sometimes filled with leaves, sticks and other debris. Both the growths on roofs and the debris retain water, which, if left untreated, will degrade your roof shingles. Eventually the water will be able to work it’s way through the roof shingles and into your home.
This is why it’s important to schedule a professional roof cleaning anytime you see these signs. Roof cleanings are a comparatively inexpensive way to keep your roof intact, and your home water free.
