Q: Should you use a pressure washer on the roof shingles?

• <div><p>If you&rsquo;re asking yourself, <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/can-roof-cleaning-extend-life-my-shingles.htm">should you pressure wash your roof</a>, the answer almost always is no. The water pressure that the power washing machine generates could damage the shingles by forcing water underneath or causing them to loosen. Soft washing with a pump sprayer is the better and safer option.</p><p> </p></div>

Q: Do algae-resistant shingles prevent moss?

• <div><p>Yes, algae-resistant shingles will prevent algae and moss growth, providing double protection for your roof and <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/what-is-roof-flashing.htm">roof flashing</a>. The copper-infused granules on algae-resistant shingles release copper ions that inhibit plant growth in general, so moss will have a harder time growing on your roof, too. Keep in mind that copper ions flowing off your roof during rainfall can also inhibit plant growth below, so your gardens and grass may be affected.</p></div>

Q: Does roof cleaning damage shingles?

• <div><p>Roof cleaning can damage shingles if it&rsquo;s done incorrectly&mdash;like with a high-power power washer&mdash;but it likely won&rsquo;t damage your roof if you pay to have an expert do the work. A professional roof cleaner will use a gentle cleaning solution and a cleaning method that matches your roof material to ensure the process doesn&rsquo;t damage the roof. Some homeowners worry that roof cleaning will shorten the life of their roof by removing shingle particles or protective coatings, but it often extends roof life by removing plants that cause damage and improves your home&rsquo;s curb appeal simultaneously.</p></div>

Q: Can moss damage my roof?

• <div><p>Yes, moss can be dangerous for your roof if left in place to grow without treatment. The moss soaks up and holds moisture. Having a constantly damp roof could lead to problems with rot for the parts of the roof that consist of wood. Additionally, a patch of thick moss may draw insects and birds, which could damage the roof. Thick moss could block the roof&rsquo;s drainage system. Water then may back up after a rainstorm and cause further damage that could eventually lead to roof repair expenses or the <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-does-roof-replacement-cost.htm">cost of roof replacement</a>.</p></div>

Work was done at a very reasonable price. Came out promptly when he said he would be there. Very good guy to deal with; it was a very easy business transaction. Most important to someone like me who is retired; there were no hidden charges.
