Should I clean my roof shingles if the roof has physical damage on it?

• <div><p>You should not clean roof shingles if the roof has damage like missing shingles or low spots where water may accumulate. You should focus on <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-do-roof-repairs-cost.htm">repairing the roof</a> before any cleaning process occurs. If you notice roof damage as you’re climbing on the roof to clean it, stop immediately. Call a roofing pro to make repairs. Cleaning a roof that has damage could lead to pooling water or water damage to the roof decking. The roof cleaning process removes mold and mildew, making the roof look better. It is not going to fix physical damage, though.</p></div>

Is it worth having your roof cleaned?

• <div><p>Having your roof cleaned can be worth it because it improves the life span of the materials on the roof. You won’t have to pay a <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-does-roof-replacement-cost.htm">roof replacement cost</a> as often when you clean the roof regularly. </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>

Q: Do gable vents let water in?

• <div><p>Yes, gable vents can let water in. That being said, this usually only occurs during extreme conditions like heavy rainfall. You can prevent water from entering through gable vents by adding a screen that traps the water before it can enter.</p></div>

Q: What happens if you don't shovel your roof?

• <div><p>Clearing snow from your roof can be a tedious and time-consuming job. Even so, it is extremely important to maintain your roof during the winter months. You can help prevent ice dams and avoid roof collapse.</p><p>As a side note, rather than shoveling your roof, you should always use a roof rake to modify the job. Otherwise, call in a professional.</p></div>

Great work and very honest. Called for a roof estimate and had a small roof leak. Justin fixed the leak, cleaned one gutter that was full, and even found and fixed a ridge vent issue he saw. He said I didn't need a roof at this time, but gave a very competitive estimate anyway. Highly recommend...
