What time of year should you clean the outside of your house?

• <div><p>The best time to clean the outside of your house is during your <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/outdoor-spring-cleaning-checklist.htm">outdoor spring cleaning</a>. Wait until late spring, after the wave of pollen is done coating your home. You can also wash your house in late fall–before the first freeze–to remove leaves and branches from the gutters.</p></div>

Q: Should you use a pressure washer to remove moss growing on a roof?

• <div><p>You could <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/6-ways-void-your-roof-warranty.htm">void your roof warranty</a> using a power washer if you have a newer roof. With an older roof, you could knock loose older shingles. On the other hand, some people safely use a pressure washer to remove moss from a metal roof. Although you may want to use a pressure washer, the truth is that you probably don&rsquo;t need it to knock moss loose. A garden hose and brush will do the job just fine and in a safer manner than a pressure washer.</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>

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: Will vinegar hurt roof shingles?

• <div><p>Vinegar will not damage your roof shingles. Using vinegar to wash your roof is an effective and popular cleaning method for asphalt shingles. You can buy white vinegar with varying concentrations of acetic acid. Typically, 5% is all you need for a good roof cleaning, but if you&rsquo;ve got stubborn stains or moss you can go as high as 25%.</p></div>

Every employee that I dealt with was very courteous and helped me through the process of the repair. I am a senior citizen and was very worried about my leaking roof but they eased my mind and the price was very reasonable. I will definitely recommend Gable Roofing to my family and friends.

He came out and gave the estimate himself and talked with us about what needed to be done. He was very punctual and finished the roof in one day and left the premises clean and neat. It has rained since the repair job and the roof has not leaked.
