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>

How long does it take to clean a roof?

• <div><p>On average, cleaning a roof will take between <b>two to five hours</b>. This timeline depends on the size and slope of your roof and the severity of any stains. <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/3-roof-cleaning-methods-ugly-stains.htm">Cleaning roof stains</a> can take additional time, especially if there are signs of moss or algae.</p><p>In addition, the age of your roof makes an enormous difference in the time it takes to clean it, as older roofs need more gentle care. If you have significant landscaping in your yard by your house, your professional roof cleaner will need additional time to protect it from cleaning chemicals. </p></div>

Q: Can I put salt on my roof for ice dams?

• <div><p>It is not advisable to use salt on your roof to prevent or remove ice dams. It&rsquo;s not only mostly ineffective but can also cause serious damage to your roof itself. Salt can rust metal, damage masonry, pit shingles, and cause runoff that&rsquo;s damaging to plants and animals. </p></div>

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>

It went great. The crew cleaned up every single day . When the roof was complete they did another clean up to make sure there were no nails left behind . Mike the owner was on top of the whole thing. If a roof can be called pretty, this one is. Two tumbs up.
