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>

Can you remove moss from a metal roof?

• <div><p>Moss grows in dark areas of roofs, including in corners and gutters. If left alone, it can grow under roofing and cause permanent damage. 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: What chemicals do you use for soft washing?

• <div><p>Soft washing chemicals typically consist of a mix of sodium hypochlorite (or a chemical component of bleach) and water. While sodium hypochlorite and bleach are often thought to be the same thing, there is one small but key difference between the two: sodium hypochlorite comes in powdered rather than liquid form, which means that it&rsquo;s also more concentrated and more effective from less product overall.</p></div>

Q: Do repairs include cleaning?

• <div><p>Yes, many services include cleaning as part of the repair process. Confirm with your provider.</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>

We recently bought our home, and the home inspector completely missed that the roof was in utter disrepair. We literally had a leak not 8 hours after closing. We took several bids for a new roof from different roofing companies. After speaking with Jack, the owner I was sold on Carlon. He is the...

WORST Inspection EVER!!! The guy literally told us (in front of the homeowners) that there were only three things that he found. A window in the garage (we'd likely never use) needed the spring fixed to ensure it stayed open, the hand rail on the deck was too big to consider "graspable", and the...

He comes every year. He's the only one that has ever cleaned it and he's the only one that I'd ever called. I'm assuming they are pretty good. He's been doing it for the last 15 years.

He said my chimney was not dirty just a small amount of blockage at pipe entrance. He spent a whole 15 minutes here. He charged me the full price of cleaning out my chimney.

They did excellent work and their crew showed real concern for trying to save as much as they could. They cleaned up the entire area and did the job right on their estimate. I would use them again. In fact, I plan on having their arborist perform periodic checks on the trees.

The roof was put on quickly, but old roof was supposed to be removed first, which it was not. There is water damage on the ceiling in 3 rooms that he said he would fix. I have called him 6 times and emailed without a response. This is now December and I have not heard back from him.
