Why Roof Cleaning Is Important
- Extends roof life: Debris, moss, algae and lichen can accumulate on a roof and eat away at roofing materials. Regular cleaning removes these harmful growths and prevents premature aging.
- Improves curb appeal: Dark streaks and stains caused by algae and moss make a home look neglected. A clean roof instantly improves the appearance of your property.
- Boosts energy efficiency: Algae and moss darken roof surfaces, causing them to absorb more heat. Cleaning restores the roof’s reflective ability and helps maintain comfortable indoor temperatures, reducing air‑conditioning costs.
- Prevents water damage: Moss and algae trap moisture, which can lead to leaks and water infiltration. Removing these growths protects the roof decking and support structure.
- Reduces allergens: A dirty roof can harbor mold, mildew and other allergens. Cleaning helps keep allergens at bay and improves indoor air quality.
- Increases property value: A well‑maintained roof increases a home’s marketability and contributes to higher property appraisals.
- Improves inspection readiness: A clean roof makes it easier to spot minor issues during inspections and address them before they become major repairs.
Why Gutter Cleaning Is Important
- Protects against water damage: Gutters collect rainwater and snowmelt from the roof, direct it into downspouts and carry it away from foundations and landscaping. If gutters are clogged, water backs up and can cause roof leaks, siding damage, foundation cracks and basement flooding. Cleaning ensures unobstructed flow and prevents overflow and structural damage.
- Prevents ice dams and seasonal issues: In winter, clogged gutters trap melting snow and contribute to ice dam formation; in spring and summer, heavy rain overwhelms blocked gutters. Regular cleaning reduces these seasonal risks.
- Avoids extra weight and sagging: Debris‑filled gutters become heavy, putting stress on fascia boards and fasteners. Removing debris prevents sagging and prolongs the gutter system’s life.
- Reduces mold and pest problems: Standing water in clogged gutters is a breeding ground for mold, mildew and insects. Cleaning eliminates these conditions.
- Prevents soil erosion and landscaping damage: Clean gutters direct water away from the house, preventing erosion and protecting garden beds and lawns.
- Protects siding and exterior: Overflowing gutters allow water to run down walls, staining paint and rotting trim.
- Saves money and preserves value: Regular gutter cleaning prevents thousands of dollars in repairs and helps preserve the value of your property.
- Recommended maintenance: Gutters should be cleaned at least twice a year—once in spring and once in fall—and more often for homes surrounded by trees or in coastal areas. Professional gutter cleaning offers advantages such as safety, thoroughness, early problem detection and time savings.
What’s Included
Roof cleaning
- Comprehensive inspection: We inspect shingles, flashing and vents to identify problem areas and assess the extent of moss, algae or debris accumulation.
- Debris removal: Loose leaves, branches and pine needles are cleared from the roof surface and valleys.
- Manual moss & algae removal: We gently brush and scrape moss, algae and lichen from the roof surface. When necessary, we apply safe, biodegradable treatments to inhibit regrowth and protect roofing materials.
- Manual sweeping: Rather than washing the roof, we sweep and collect loose dirt and organic matter by hand. This approach prevents granule loss from asphalt shingles and eliminates the risks associated with pressure washing.
- Final inspection: After cleaning, we check for damaged shingles or flashing that may need repair and ensure that ventilation openings are clear.
Gutter cleaning
- Debris removal: We hand‑remove leaves, twigs and roofing granules from gutters and downspouts so water can flow freely.
- Vacuuming and manual cleaning: We vacuum gutters and downspouts and remove stubborn debris by hand to ensure that hidden clogs are cleared and rainwater reaches the drainage system. We avoid using high‑pressure water so there is no risk of overflow or damage.
- Inspection: Gutters are inspected for leaks, rust, sagging sections and loose fasteners. Minor repairs (tightening screws or resealing joints) are performed as needed.
- Gutter guard assessment: If you have gutter guards, we confirm they are intact and clean; we can also recommend new guards to reduce future maintenance.
- Site cleanup: All debris is collected and removed from your property.
