Should I clean my roof shingles if the roof has physical damage on it?

• <div><p>You should not clean roof shingles if the roof has damage like missing shingles or low spots where water may accumulate. You should focus on <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-do-roof-repairs-cost.htm">repairing the roof</a> before any cleaning process occurs. If you notice roof damage as you’re climbing on the roof to clean it, stop immediately. Call a roofing pro to make repairs. Cleaning a roof that has damage could lead to pooling water or water damage to the roof decking. The roof cleaning process removes mold and mildew, making the roof look better. It is not going to fix physical damage, though.</p></div>

What time of year should you clean the outside of your house?

• <div><p>The best time to clean the outside of your house is during your <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/outdoor-spring-cleaning-checklist.htm">outdoor spring cleaning</a>. Wait until late spring, after the wave of pollen is done coating your home. You can also wash your house in late fall–before the first freeze–to remove leaves and branches from the gutters.</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: What is involved in the roof cleaning process?

• <div><p>It generally involves soft washing with eco-friendly detergents to remove contaminants, avoiding high-pressure methods that can damage materials.</p></div>

Q: Does algae hurt roof shingles?

• <div><p>While spotting a bit of algae on your roof may not bother you at first glance, it is certainly bothering your roof shingles. The presence of algae can cause decay and shorten the lifespan of your roof&rsquo;s shingles, which can lead to much bigger problems down the road. While this issue may seem cosmetic at first glance, it goes much deeper than that.</p></div>
