Do Roofs Need to Be Washed?

When it comes to home maintenance, many homeowners might overlook one crucial area: the roof. You may wonder, “Do roofs really need to be washed?” The short answer is yes! Roof washing is essential to keep your roof in prime condition and extend its lifespan. Here at Central Texas Window Cleaning, we offer professional roof washing services that not only clean but also protect your roof. Let’s dive into why roof washing is necessary and how we make your roof look brand new.

Why Roof Washing is Important

Over time, roofs accumulate mold, dirt, algae, and other debris. These elements can cause significant damage if left untreated, leading to costly repairs or even a complete roof replacement. Roof washing helps to:

  • Prevent Damage: Algae, mold, and dirt can eat away at your roofing material, weakening its structure. 
  • Improve Aesthetics: A clean roof significantly enhances your home’s curb appeal.
  • Increase Longevity: Regular roof cleaning can extend the life of your roof, saving you money in the long run.
  • Boost Energy Efficiency: A dirty roof can absorb more heat, making your home warmer and increasing your energy bills.

Our Roof Washing 5-Step Process

At Central Texas Window Cleaning, we pride ourselves on a meticulous roof washing process that ensures optimal results.

  1. Evaluation: We start by assessing the condition of your roof and the level of algae growth. This helps us determine the necessary steps to restore your roof to its best condition.
  1. Protection: We protect your landscaping by watering all plantings around each downspout to prevent runoff from affecting your plants or shrubs.
  1. Initial Spray: We apply an even coat of a surfactant onto the roof’s surface, covering all affected areas. The surfactant allows the cleaning solution to adhere effectively.
  1. Deep Clean: Next, we spray a sodium hypochlorite solution over the surfactant in an even coat. This step begins the deep cleaning process.
  1. Final Stage: The cleaning solution needs at least 48 hours to start working. It can take up to two weeks and a couple of rains for the full transformation to appear, revealing a clean, beautiful roof.

Weather Considerations

For the roof washing process to work efficiently, we need 24 hours of dry weather before and 48 hours after the application. If the weather isn’t cooperating, we will reschedule to ensure the best results. And don’t worry, if the weather disrupts our work, we’ll come back and do a re-wash at no extra charge with our Rain Guarantee.
