There are a variety of benefits to having your roof cleaned. Curb appeal, when selling a house first impressions are everything. While the inside of the house may be immaculate if the roof looks dirty the potential buyer may worry that the roof needs to be replaced when all it needs is a wash. Getting your roof cleaned will also help to save on energy costs. The mold and mildew that accumulate on the roof do a great job at retaining heat. Washing a roof removes all of the mold and mildew on the roof improving the air quality of your home. 

               

        Safe Wash follows the recommended non-pressure roof cleaning guidelines of the Asphalt Roofing Manufacturers Association. No pressure washing of any kind will be used on your roof. All plants are watered or covered before during and after

the process. If your shingles are still in good shape but have roof algae on them, having your roof cleansed will allow you to get the full life out of your shingles, saving you thousands of dollars.

                   What are the black streaks on my roof?

​

           Unsightly black stains or streaks on asphalt shingles are caused by a hardy type of algae called Gloeocapsa Magma. The algae feeds on the crushed limestone that is used in asphalt shingles. Rain spreads the algae down the roof causing the black streaks. These streaks are not only unsightly but cause the shingles to fail prematurely.

​

                    How much will it cost to clean my roof?

          Each roof is assessed individually. Factors that are taken into consideration are size, pitch, and type of the roof, type and amount of landscaping, gutters or no gutters, and also shingle color. A free no obligation quote can be given over the phone in most cases.
