Q: What is the best way to remove snow from your roof?

• <div><p>There are several <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/tips-removing-snow-and-ice-your-roof.htm">ways to remove snow from your roof</a>: using a snow rake, salting the roof with calcium chloride, using a rope (cautiously), and using heating cables. It&rsquo;s important to mention that pretty, fluffy, sparkling snow weighs a great deal, and when physically removing snow from a roof, you should be aware of large snow slabs breaking off. These can weigh hundreds of pounds and are a real danger, so be extremely careful anytime you&rsquo;re doing this type of work. </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: What does professional roof cleaning typically cost?

• <div><p>The cost depends on roof size, pitch, accessibility, and contamination extent. A steep roof or extensive moss growth may raise the price.</p></div>

Q: How do you make old shingles look new?

• <div><p>If you wish to forego painting your shingles but still want to give them a fresh look, a deep cleaning is the first step. Clean off any debris from your roof and gutters, and then power wash your shingles to get grime and algae off. To take things one step further, you might even consider installing new gutters to give your home a bright new look.</p></div>
