Q: How often should I have my roof cleaned?

• <div><p>A professional roof cleaning lasts about a year on average, so it&rsquo;s best to do it annually.

If you live near the coast, annual roof cleaning will help prevent salt buildup on your roof. You can add professional roof cleaning to your yearly <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/spring-home-inspection-checklist.htm">home maintenance checklist</a> to ensure you never miss a year. </p></div>

Q: What is a flat roof suitable for?

• <div><p>Flat roofs are a solid option for people who want extra outdoor space. Flat roofs are very common in other parts of the world and only recently has the U.S. started to see the benefit in the increased space. Flat roofs are also easier to maintain and pose much less of a safety risk, which allows for more DIY work for handy homeowners. Some people also build green or living roofs that grow plant life. </p></div>
