Every day, the roof of a home protects families, belongings, and pets from environmental elements. As time passes, the wear of weather takes a toll on the roof and causes damage, leaks, and mold growth that can compromise the integrity of the entire house. Every year, homeowners choose to replace their roof when they could simply have had it cleaned and saved themselves thousands of dollars. Los Angeles residents can protect the investment they have made in their homes by having their roof professionally cleaned.

Curb Appeal Power Clean, a Los Angeles pressure washing company, has recently published a blog article informing the community of seven benefits that roof cleaning offers. The article, “7 Reasons to Clean Your Roof,” discusses both obvious benefits as well as advantages that some homeowners may not have considered. The seven reasons are summarized as follows:

1. Cool the Home

Algae and mildew can flourish on a roof that is not regularly cleaned. These fungi cause the roof to absorb heat, which makes the home harder to cool in summer. Professional roof cleaning can increase air conditioning efficiency.

2. Save Energy

As touched on in the first point, a clean roof makes cooling and heating easier to manage, which results in energy savings. People who have invested in roof cleaning will find that utility bills cost less each month.

3. Keep the Warranty Active

Manufacturers want homeowners to maintain their roof and clean it regularly. A multi-year warranty does not negate the need for basic roof maintenance. In fact, roof neglect may nullify an existing warranty.

4. Prevent Costly Damage

Debris traps moisture on the roof, which can progressively cause moisture damage and mold that erodes the roofing materials. Regular professional cleaning can prevent costly leaks, water damage, and fungal growth. Professionals can also identify any potential issues on or near the roof so that the homeowner can act promptly.

5. Increase Home Value

Curb appeal affects the overall value of a home or property. If homeowners intend to sell their property in the future, a clean, well-kept roof will be much more attractive to potential buyers as opposed to a faded, algae-covered roof with possible structural compromise.

6. Save Money on Repairs or Replacement

Ultimately, hiring a professional to routinely clean a roof is much less expensive than roof repair or replacement. Roof cleaning typically costs around $300 while replacing a roof can cost nearly $5,000 depending on the scope of the job.

7. Protect from Pests

Debris and rotting wood around a roof is an invitation to bugs, rodents, and pests. If pests are allowed to build nests and hives, an infestation could develop. Maintaining the roof, gutters, and eaves will keep unwanted visitors away.
