Can I wash my own roof?

• <div><p>It is possible to wash your own roof, but we don’t recommend it. First, getting up on any roof is dangerous without proper safety equipment, especially if wetting a metal roof and making the surface slick. Additionally, it’s easy to damage your roof or force water between roof seams if you <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/can-roof-cleaning-extend-life-my-shingles.htm">use a power washer</a>, which can lead to property damage. Hiring a professional roof cleaner will save you time, keep you safe, and ensure that your roof looks new again without damaging it in the process. Plus, roof cleaning is a relatively affordable home improvement project.</p></div>

Q: Should I clean a green roof?

• <div><p>A <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/what-is-a-green-roof.htm">green roof</a> is a roof design that includes a thin layer of vegetation on the roof surface. It&rsquo;s an environmentally friendly option. Some green roofs may look like they have moss or algae on them, causing neighbors to suggest that you clean the roof. However, you should never try to clean a green roof, as any cleaning methods you deploy will likely kill the vegetation.</p></div>

Q: How do I maintain a sealed roof?

• <div><p>Inspect annually for damage, clean debris, and reapply sealant to maintain protection.</p></div>

Q: What do housekeepers not clean?

• <div><p>Most housekeepers won&rsquo;t handle tasks that require specialized equipment or training, like <a href="https://www.angi.com/companylist/carpet-cleaning.htm">carpet shampooing</a>, window washing at high levels, or outdoor cleaning. Housekeepers typically dust, vacuum, mop, wash dishes, clean surfaces, and launder linens. It&rsquo;s best to clarify what services are included before hiring to make sure you&rsquo;re on the same page.</p></div>

Q: Do roof rakes cause ice dams?

• <div><p>Roof raking helps clear snowfall from your roof and, in turn, you hope that this prevents ice dams. But can roof raking actually cause them? Generally, no, it cannot. But you should note that while, in some cases, you might successfully prevent ice dams from forming near the edge of your roof by keeping it cleared with a roof rake, they could still form higher up on the roof, where you are unable to reach. This may leave you wondering: <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/does-roof-raking-prevent-ice-dams.htm">Does roof raking prevent ice dams</a>? While it is not a 100% guaranteed way to prevent them, it does help.</p></div>

"We had a great experience with Shamrock. My husband is an architect and pretty much knew what needed to be done to remove a wood burning stove from our fireplace and restore it to a working fireplace before anyone arrived to give us a quote. We had several contractors come by and try to tack on extra unnecessary add ons using scare tactics. Gary from Shamrock came and not only was he honest about what needed to be done he also assessed that we needed some repair work done to our chimney which my husband already knew had to be done. We were very pleased with the removal of the wood burning stove , the chimney repair and his promptness and professionalism. Honesty goes a long way especially when you are unaware of what the clients knowledge of the situation is. I would highly recommend and ask for Gary. "
