Why Roof Cleaning is Essential

Your roof is one of the most critical components of your property, protecting it from the elements year-round. Over time, roofs accumulate moss, algae, lichen, and debris that can compromise their integrity and lifespan. Regular roof cleaning not only enhances your property's appearance but also prevents costly damage and extends your roof's life.

At Al Grey's Cleaning Services, we specialize in professional roof cleaning using safe, effective methods that remove harmful growth without damaging your roofing materials. Our team has over 13 years of experience working with all types of roofing, from traditional tiles and slates to modern composite materials.

We understand that a clean roof is more than just aesthetically pleasing—it's essential for maintaining your property's structural integrity and preventing issues like water penetration, rot, and insulation problems. Our comprehensive roof cleaning services are designed to protect your investment while enhancing your property's curb appeal.

Soft Wash Roof Cleaning

Our soft wash roof cleaning method is the safest and most effective approach for removing organic growth from your roof without causing damage. Unlike pressure washing which can force water under tiles and remove protective granules, soft washing uses low-pressure application of specialized cleaning solutions that break down moss, algae, and lichen at the root level.

The cleaning solutions we use are environmentally friendly and biodegradable, effectively killing organic growth while being safe for your plants, pets, and the surrounding environment. After application, the solutions continue working for weeks, preventing regrowth and keeping your roof cleaner for longer.

Moss & Algae Removal

Moss and algae growth on roofs is not just an aesthetic issue—it can cause serious damage to your roofing materials. Moss retains moisture against the roof surface, leading to rot, degradation of roofing materials, and potential leaks. Algae stains, often appearing as black streaks, can also compromise the integrity of your roof over time.

Our specialized moss and algae removal service targets these growths effectively while protecting your roof. We use professional-grade treatments that kill existing growth and create an environment that discourages regrowth. For stubborn moss infestations, we may recommend mechanical removal followed by chemical treatment to ensure complete eradication.

Tile & Slate Roof Cleaning

Tile and slate roofs require specialized cleaning approaches to preserve their integrity and appearance. These traditional roofing materials can be delicate and require careful handling to avoid damage during the cleaning process. Our team has extensive experience working with all types of tile and slate roofs, from historic properties to modern installations.

We use gentle cleaning methods specifically designed for these materials, avoiding high-pressure techniques that can crack tiles or displace slates. Our approach focuses on removing biological growth and stains while preserving the protective surface of the tiles. For particularly delicate or historic roofs, we may recommend hand cleaning in specific areas to ensure no damage occurs.

Roof Chemical Treatments

Our roof chemical treatments are designed to provide long-term protection against biological growth and staining. These treatments are applied after cleaning to create an environment that discourages moss, algae, and lichen from reestablishing on your roof surface. The treatments we use are specifically formulated for roofing materials and provide protection for extended periods.

We offer different types of chemical treatments based on your roof type and local conditions. Zinc-based treatments are excellent for most situations, slowly releasing zinc ions when it rains to inhibit growth. Copper-based treatments provide even longer protection but may not be suitable for all roof types. We'll recommend the best option for your specific situation during our assessment.

Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about roof cleaning

How often should I have my roof cleaned?

Most roofs benefit from professional cleaning every 2-3 years. However, this can vary depending on factors like your local climate, surrounding trees, roof orientation, and the amount of shade your roof receives. We can provide a specific recommendation after assessing your property.

Is roof cleaning safe for my roofing materials?

Yes, when performed by professionals using the correct methods. We use soft wash techniques that are specifically designed to be gentle on roofing materials while effectively removing biological growth. We avoid high-pressure washing which can damage tiles, remove protective granules, or force water underneath roofing materials.

Can moss on my roof cause damage?

Yes, moss can cause significant damage to your roof. It retains moisture against roofing materials, leading to rot and degradation. Moss can also lift tiles or slates, creating entry points for water. In winter, moss can contribute to ice dam formation. Regular cleaning prevents these issues and extends your roof's lifespan.

Do you offer guarantees on your roof cleaning work?

Yes, we offer a satisfaction guarantee on all our roof cleaning services. If you're not completely happy with the results, we'll return to address any concerns at no additional cost. Additionally, our protective treatments come with a guarantee against regrowth for a specified period.

Are the chemicals you use safe for my plants and pets?

Yes, we use environmentally friendly, biodegradable cleaning solutions that are safe for plants, pets, and the surrounding environment when applied correctly. We take precautions to protect your landscaping during the cleaning process and can use additional protective measures if you have particularly sensitive plants.

Can roof cleaning improve my home's energy efficiency?

Yes, a clean roof can contribute to better energy efficiency. Dark stains from algae can absorb more heat from the sun, potentially raising attic temperatures in summer. A clean, reflective roof surface helps maintain more consistent temperatures, reducing cooling costs in warmer months.
