Roof Washing

Regular maintenance and cleaning of a house’s roof is a crucial responsibility of homeownership that is frequently underestimated. While many homeowners prioritize interior upkeep and aesthetics, overlooking the roof can result in costly and inconvenient issues. Maintaining a clean roof extends its lifespan, prevents structural damage, and enhances curb appeal, among other advantages.

This is why, at G&S Window Cleaning, we offer professional roof washing services in the Las Vegas area. With our assistance, your roof will undergo a thorough cleaning to restore its appearance and leave it looking as good as new.

Revive Your Roof

Your roof endures the brunt of nature’s elements, enduring relentless exposure to the sun, rain, sleet, snow, and debris. These harsh conditions contribute to the accumulation of dirt, grime, and the potential growth of mildew and mold, posing threats to its integrity. Left unchecked, these issues can escalate, resulting in structural damage and potential health hazards for occupants. 

Professional roof cleaning offers a proactive solution to alleviate the stress imposed on your roof over time. While it may be tempting to overlook roof maintenance until problems arise, such as leaks or damaged shingles, preventative care is essential for preserving its condition. Regular roof washing not only extends its lifespan but also ensures it remains visually appealing.

Soft Washing Cleaning Method

Certain methods are preferred for cleaning roofs, with traditional pressure washing often deemed too aggressive for roof tiles. The high pressure involved can cause tiles to tear and result in damage. Conversely, surfaces like driveways, walkways, and patios, which are more resilient, typically fare well with pressure washing. However, roofs typically benefit from a softer approach.

Soft washing employs a gentler combination of lower pressure settings and an eco-friendly cleaning solution to efficiently cleanse roofs. Our team of professionals use this technique to effectively eliminate dirt and grime, and leave behind a visually appealing roof while extending its longevity.

Signs Your Roof Needs Washed

Here are several signs that your roof is in need of a washing:

1. Dark Streaks or Stains: Visible dark streaks or stains on the roof surface which indicate the presence of algae, mold, or mildew growth.

2. Moss or Lichen Growth: Patches of moss or lichen growing on the roof, particularly in shaded or damp areas.

3. Accumulation of Debris: Build-up of leaves, branches, or other debris on the roof surface, which can trap moisture and contribute to biological growth.

4. Loss of Granules: Granules from asphalt shingles accumulating in gutters or downspouts, signaling deterioration and potential damage to the roof.

5. Discoloration: Noticeable discoloration or fading of the roof surface, indicating dirt, grime, or biological growth.

6. Visible Algae or Mildew: Green or black patches of algae or mildew on the roof surface, particularly in humid or moist climates.

7. Water Stains or Leaks: Water stains on interior ceilings or walls, indicating potential roof leaks or moisture intrusion.

8. Reduced Curb Appeal: A generally dingy or dirty appearance of the roof, detracting from the overall aesthetics of the home.

9. Increased Energy Bills: Higher than usual energy bills, which can be indicative of reduced roof efficiency due to dirt or debris accumulation.

10. Nearby Vegetation: Overhanging trees or branches casting shade on the roof, which promote moisture retention and biological growth.

By recognizing these signs and addressing them promptly, homeowners can ensure their roof remains clean, well-maintained, and free from potential damage or deterioration. Regular professional washing helps to preserve the integrity and longevity of the roof while enhancing the overall appearance of the home.
