How long does it take to clean a roof?

• <div><p>On average, cleaning a roof will take between <b>two to five hours</b>. This timeline depends on the size and slope of your roof and the severity of any stains. <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/3-roof-cleaning-methods-ugly-stains.htm">Cleaning roof stains</a> can take additional time, especially if there are signs of moss or algae.</p><p>In addition, the age of your roof makes an enormous difference in the time it takes to clean it, as older roofs need more gentle care. If you have significant landscaping in your yard by your house, your professional roof cleaner will need additional time to protect it from cleaning chemicals. </p></div>

Do you need to clear snow from the roof?

• <div><p>While removing every snowflake from your roof is unnecessary, you should remove a significant buildup of snow. Since snow is wet and heavy, it can easily cause <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/did-storm-damage-your-roof.htm">damage to your roof</a>, which can lead to needing costly repairs. </p><p>Additionally, when the snow melts but has nowhere to go and refreezes, it can create an ice dam, causing mold concerns due to water leaking into your attic and ceiling. For these reasons, it’s best to hire a snow removal professional to clear heavy snowfall from your roof as soon as possible. </p></div>

Q: What time of year do you remove algae from a roof?

• <div><p>Ideally, you will tackle removing algae from your roof during spring or summer when the weather is drier and warmer. Because algae tends to grow during the colder and wetter months, you want to tackle this project before the temperature drops to hopefully keep it from coming back at all.</p></div>

Q: Can you softwash with a pressure washer?

• <div><p>Yes, you can, but you&rsquo;ll need to acquire the right pressure washer tips and cleaning solutions for the job. In particular, you&rsquo;ll need tips that are capable of lowering the pressure from a max of 3,500 PSI to between 150 and 300 PSI. As for the cleaning solution, look for options that are clearly marked for soft washing rather than pressure washing. </p></div>

Q: How often do solar panels need to be cleaned?

• <div><p>You should clean your panels at least twice a year. It depends on your location. In dusty climates (think the Arizona desert), you may need to clean your panels more frequently. Dust can dramatically impact the electrical output. If you live in a climate with extreme weather, you may want to check your panels seasonally.</p></div>

They are very careful and protected everything around the roof. Cedar roofs are very hard to work on and they were very good at the work they did. When they finished it looked very good and I liked the cleanness of it.
