Q: What happens if you leave snow on your roof?

• <div><p>You may be wondering if you really need the snow removed from your roof. Since most roofs can only handle 20 pounds per square foot of snow accumulation, there is a tipping point when you are suddenly at risk of roof collapse. This can cause a lot of damage, not just to your home, but to your belongings, too. It also poses a physical danger to your family. Also, a lot of snow on a roof makes it more susceptible to ice dams, leaks, and water damage.</p></div>

Q: What is the fastest method for killing moss?

• <div><p>Iron, or ferrous sulfate, is one of the fastest methods for killing moss. As such, you&rsquo;ll find this ingredient in many lawn fertilizers and lawn killers. Vinegar is another solution for quickly killing moss. It takes just 15 to 20 minutes for vinegar to take effect. A harsher method is bleach, which also has a similar time frame for taking effect. </p></div>

Q: Is it safe to walk on the roof to clean gutters?

• <div><p>Walking on the roof to clean gutters is unsafe. If you do your own gutter cleaning, use a ladder to reach the gutters rather than climbing on your roof. Walking on the roof is dangerous, especially if it has rained recently or if there are fallen leaves. You can also damage your shingles when walking on them, which can lead to water leaks.</p><p>Keep in mind that using a ladder has its risks, too. It can be difficult to keep your balance while doing the labor-intensive work of cleaning gutters. For safety reasons, hiring a pro to clean your gutters is the best choice.</p></div>

Q: What benefits come from professional roof cleaning services?

• <div><p>Professional cleaning eliminates debris, mold, and stains, enhancing appearance and preventing damage, such as shingle wear. It also aids in maintaining property value.</p></div>

BK Roofing was out quickly for an estimate. About a week and a half later materials were delivered, and a week after that the crew showed up to install. Installing only took about 4 hours and the crew cleaned up the mess thoroughly.
