Making the effort to avoid cleaning the roof is like not washing your car. Dirty roofs may include the build-up of mold and rot. Which in return induces the appearance of your roof.

NC Diamond Soft Wash charges 22 cents per square footage of the house plus chemical expenses to clean a roof.

We suggest that you have your roof cleaned once a year. A new roof may need cleaning once every two years.

We wash a variety of roofs that have different material such as:

• Asphalt shingles
• Solar tiles
• Metal roofing
• Stone-coated steel
• Slate
• Rubber slate
• Clay and concrete tiles
• Green roofs

Yes, and if cleaning your roof goes unnoticed then the debris from the roof can damage the house along with other parts such as the gutters. 

Debris such as leaves, pine needles, bird droppings, insects, and dirt can accumulate on your roof over time. When there is a rainstorm the water will push the debris down your roof and into your gutters. If you were to hire a pressure washing company to clean your gutters, and they fail to clean your roof then this is not a good sign. As soon as there is another storm all of the debris on your roof is going to be pushed right into your gutters, which will start the process of clogging them all over again.

While a dirty roof may lead to your gutters being clogged more frequently, that’s not the only problem you have to worry about if you aren’t making sure that your roof is cleaned regularly. The shingles to your roof will last longer if they are kept clean every blue moon. This is true if you have algae that grow on your roof. Algae will usually cause roof shingles to deteriorate at a faster rate, and in extreme cases, the algae can even spread to the frame of your home causing damage. While algae is a problem, the main issue that is likely to cause the most problems is debris accumulation on the roof. Ensuring that your roof is a priority is essential to keeping your home in great and lasting condition. 

When you don’t have your roof and gutters cleaned frequently you risk the possibility of muck buildup in your gutters which will slow down and eventually blocks water from flowing. At first, you may not notice a problem because water will continue to flow. However, over time as the blockage gets worse, you will start to notice water running over the edges of your gutter. The minute that you have enough of a blockage to allow water to start flowing over the sides of your gutter you are looking at a serious issue that demands immediate attention from a gutter professional. When you have a major blockage one of the things you have to be most concerned about is the possibility of structural failure in your gutter. In the cold months of winter, ice may build up which is 10 times worse. This is not just an issue due to it necessitating a repair, it’s an issue because it’s a hazard. If your gutter were to fall and hit someone this can cause serious or life-threatening injury due to its heavyweight and force from high altitude. Another thing to look out for is the added stress to the fascia from gutter blockage, which is the board on your home that your gutter is mounted on. When this happens it can also result in structural damage. If you are able to avoid traumatic failure to your gutter system another problem you may have to watch out for is water seeping through your home. This can also cause black mold to build up. 

You should keep in mind that the job of cleaning your roof and gutters is more than people realize. You not only have to climb up and down a ladder, and stick your hands into the disgusting muck, you also have to find a way to clean your roof as well. The easiest way is to get up on your roof and use a pressure washer attachment on your water hose to spray it down. Even though this is efficient,it can become hazardous. Be careful, because depending on the height of the house you can possibly lose your life if you fall from your roof. When you hire a professional roof and gutter cleaning company you are going to enjoy a number of benefits. 

First, you won’t have to be working up on a ladder. Second, a professional roof and gutter cleaning company will be able to get the job done faster. Finally, the third benefit is that they can seek out potential problems ahead of time to help save you money. Ultimately what you have to realize is that the cost of having roof cleaning and gutter cleaning done by a professional really is not that substantial. When you think about how much hard work you are avoiding, coupled with the fact that a professional will do a better job than you can, it should be clear that hiring a professional is the best way to keep your gutters in top working condition.
