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: Can you clean algae off a metal roof?

• <div><p>It may require stronger cleansers or chemicals, higher-pressure spray, or scrubbing to completely remove algae from a metal roof. Start with a mild cleanser; if that doesn&rsquo;t work and you're comfortable doing so, use a stronger mix of ⅓ cup of laundry detergent, 1 quart of bleach, and 3 quarts of water to gently scrub the algae with a soft-bristled brush. If algae is present across large portions of your roof, doesn&rsquo;t come off with gentle scrubbing and cleansers, or is in hard-to-reach areas, this may be a job better left to a pro.</p></div>

Q: Does bleach or vinegar remove moss best?

• <div><p>When deciding on which at-home solution to use, bleach and vinegar are both effective at removing moss from driveways. Bleach tends to last longer, keeping moss away for up to a year, while vinegar may need to be applied more frequently. However, vinegar is much gentler on the environment, making it a safer option overall.</p></div>

Q: What is the best season to clean roof shingles?

• <div><p>For most people, summer is the best season to clean roof shingles. You want a day with dry weather and comfortable temperatures. In hot climates, late spring may work better for washing shingles. Avoid cleaning roof shingles at any time where ice could form from applying water in low temperatures.</p></div>

Enri and his team were professional, knowledgeable and friendly. I used them for both a chimney cleaning and roof replacement. Fair pricing and detailed work. They left everything spotless and I look to hire them again to do my front steps once the weather warms up. A great experience all around.
