Roofs collect dirt, moss, algae, and leaves over time. These not only look bad but can damage your roof. Roof cleaning removes all this buildup, making your home look neat and fresh. It also helps rainwater drain properly and prevents leaks. A clean roof lasts longer and saves you money on future repairs. It’s a smart part of home care. Regular cleaning keeps your roof strong, safe, and attractive.
So, I called up a roofing estimator, and he explained that if my roof just had dirt or moss, a cleaning could do the trick. But if there was serious damage, a replacement would be needed. I figured I'd try cleaning first and see how it goes. If things still looked bad later, then replacement would be the next step.
