Can you remove moss from a metal roof?

Here’s <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/moss-growing-my-roof.htm">how to remove moss from metal roofs</a>: </p><ul><li><p>Soak the moss to soften it</p></li><li><p>Scrub it away with a soft-bristled brush, or pick it off with your hands (be sure to wear gloves)</p></li><li><p>Use a moss remover that’s compatible with metal roofing, following the manufacturer’s directions</p></li><li><p>Remove dead moss and rinse the roof thoroughly</p></li><li><p>Prevent future moss growth by trimming branches, cleaning gutters, and attaching zinc strips to moss-prone areas</p></li></ul><p></p></div>

Q: Should you use a pressure washer to remove moss growing on a roof?

• <div><p>You could <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/6-ways-void-your-roof-warranty.htm">void your roof warranty</a> using a power washer if you have a newer roof. With an older roof, you could knock loose older shingles. On the other hand, some people safely use a pressure washer to remove moss from a metal roof. Although you may want to use a pressure washer, the truth is that you probably don&rsquo;t need it to knock moss loose. A garden hose and brush will do the job just fine and in a safer manner than a pressure washer.</p></div>

Q: How do you make old shingles look new?

• <div><p>If you wish to forego painting your shingles but still want to give them a fresh look, a deep cleaning is the first step. Clean off any debris from your roof and gutters, and then power wash your shingles to get grime and algae off. To take things one step further, you might even consider installing new gutters to give your home a bright new look.</p></div>

Q: What do housekeepers not clean?

• <div><p>Most housekeepers won&rsquo;t handle tasks that require specialized equipment or training, like <a href="https://www.angi.com/companylist/carpet-cleaning.htm">carpet shampooing</a>, window washing at high levels, or outdoor cleaning. Housekeepers typically dust, vacuum, mop, wash dishes, clean surfaces, and launder linens. It&rsquo;s best to clarify what services are included before hiring to make sure you&rsquo;re on the same page.</p></div>

Q: Do solar panels need to be cleaned?

• <div><p>While it&rsquo;s not completely necessary for them to operate properly, as the occasional rainfall can rinse away dirt and debris, manually cleaning solar panels from time to time can keep them operating more efficiently.</p><p>Dirt, debris, pollen, and bird droppings can collect on the surface of the panels. Depending on the amount of solar panels you have, this can add up over time, so set a regular maintenance schedule. Moreover, if you live in a climate with little to no rainfall, more debris can accumulate, causing inefficiencies that would be clear in your electricity bill. </p></div>

I was referred to DaBella as a company that could replace a roof with metal sheet roofing. When I talked to them however, they don't do metal roofs. Since then, I have been besieged with text messages, phone calls and emails from them. Please stop!

My experience was outstanding, his people arrived on time, they worked a full 8 hour day, they were polite, they were careful. They cleaned up after themselves to the point my yard looked better than when they started, they finished the roof in a day and a half it was outstanding.
