Why should I clean my roof?
It is very important to maintain your roof’s integrity. When environmental buildup collects on your roof’s surface, it can be extremely damaging. If not properly cared for, this buildup can become the source of leaks or even cause parts of your roof’s material to fall off. Maintaining your roof is very economical; replacing your roof is very costly.
What is the best methodology?
- Taking preliminary steps, such as identifying the type of buildup so it is removed correctly and safely
- Identify potential obstacles such as elevations and facades that need to be protected during the cleaning process
- Clean all gutter systems to allow free flow of excess chemicals* and seal off downspouts to collect any run-off
- Our process is accomplished at low pressure so as not to damage the roofing material and void manufacturer warranties
- JL’s cleaning technique is encouraged by roofing institutions, applying different types of chemicals at low pressure, depending upon the style and material being cleaned
- Once our compounds are set correctly, we can rinse away dead residue or let them wash away naturally for the most economical solution
*Our chemicals can be left on the roof safely – they won’t damage anything, but it will take several weeks to a couple months for all bigger buildup to clear, like lichen or moss (fungal buildup that has a root system). Following any roof cleaning services, we neutralize all sprayed-on chemicals which can help fortify and reintroduce good bacteria into plant leaves and roots.

What are the benefits?
- Energy saving – Environmental buildup attracts sunlight, keeping your roof hot and raising the internal temperature – removing the buildup will normalize internal temperature and optimize energy costs.
- Aesthetics – Preserve your home’s exterior appeal for curb appeal and lasting value.
- Life expectancy – Lack of maintenance could lead to leaks causing serious problems – prevent potential damage and maximize your investment with regular cleaning.
How often should I clean my roof?
- Clean your roof every couple of years to prevent buildups of damaging microorganisms
- Visible buildup is likely already causing roof deterioration.
- It’s much more cost-effective to maintain than replace!
