Orlando Roof Cleaning and Treatment Services

There are a number of elements including sun, wind, rain, and airborne pollutants that can damage your roof. If your home has trees nearby, moss from the trees can drop on the roof, take hold, and produce a fine crop in a relatively short time. If left untreated, moss (with its amazing sponge-like capacity for holding water) can dramatically shorten the life of your roof. Algae, depending on your region, may cause unsightly staining and discoloration.

The professional Orlando roof cleaning team will be able to help you care for your roof and avoid premature replacement as a result of damage from weather or moss and algae.

One of the common mistakes of many roof cleaning firms is that they treat all roofs the same. Whether is it is a composition, tile, composite, metal or cedar shake roof, they want to apply their “one solution fits all” practices to all roof types.

At Cleaning Services Orlando, we know that there are huge differences in how the various roof types need to be maintained.

Even within the same roof material type, there are various methods that need to be used depending on your roof’s unique characteristics and its surrounding environment.

Most Common Reason for Orlando Roof Cleaning and Roof Treating

Mold – One of the most commons reasons for a full roof cleaning and treating.
Debris – This can be hard to avoid and can be a precursor to moss.
Algae – Less common by itself, but often accompanies moss, particularly below upper roof downspouts that empty on to a lower roof.
UV – Damages all roofs, but particularly cedar shake roofs.
Deterioration – Cedar roofs are subject to potential wood rot, even insect infestation.
Aesthetics – Either simply tired of an ugly roof (they can account for a major portion of the frontal view of your home) or in preparation to selling (increasing curb appeal.)

Various methods that we employ for maintaining a roof, including several combinations of cleaning and treating.

Low Pressure Air Blowing High Pressure Air Blowing Hand Brushing Broom Sweeping Low Pressure Rinsing Detergent Washing Low, Pressure, High Volume Power Washing Moss Prevention Treatments Ceder Roof Treatments

Self Cleaning, Enviromentally Ceder Roof Treatments Composition Roof Treatments Self Cleaning, Enviromently Comp Roof Treatments Tile Roof Treatments Self Cleaning, Enviromently Tile Roof Treatments Pre-Cleaning Treatment Post-Cleaning Treatments

As you can see, there are many options for how to maintain your roof.   Then consider the various combinations of cleaning and treating and you can see why this critical work is best left for the experienced Orlando roof cleaning pros at Cleaning services Orlando.   We can offer all of these methods when the situation demands it.   That is why it is so nice to have one of our Orlando roof cleaning experts provide you with a free evaluation of your roof’s needs. 

Roof Algae Cleaning Myths Debunked

There's a lot of false information about roof algae cleaning floating around right now, and I guess this is to be expected because it's still a relatively new industry and most homeowners still aren't that familiar with it.

Myth #1:  Black roof stains are caused by tar, acid, dirt, or jet fuel.  Roof stains are caused by a hardy type of blue-green algae called Gloeocapsa Magma.  All it takes is for one algae spore to land on your shingles and take hold and then it’s off to the races.

Myth #2:  Algae on roof shingles is really a signal that it's time for a new roof.  Simply the presence of algae stains does not necessarily equate with needing a new roof.  In many cases all a roof needs is a good professional cleaning to restore its original look and health.

Myth #3:  Roof algae removal will have no real impact on a home's curb appeal.  Most people are shocked when they see how much better their home looks after a roof cleaning.

Myth #4:  Roof algae is only a cosmetic issue so it can be ignored for now.  If not cleaned off and kept at bay roof algae has the ability to shave years off the life of your shingles.  It’s important to remember that roof algae is a living organism that needs food to continue to grow.

Myth #5:  The best way to go about removing roof algae is with high pressure.  I’ve beaten this one to death on this site but it bears repeating that, next to positioning your home in the path of a tornado, power washing your roof to remove algae stains is the worst thing you could possibly do to it. 

Myth #6:  Chemical roof cleaning will damage shingles, gutters, and landscaping.  If you’re using the right chemicals with the proper procedures and rinsing techniques then you have nothing to fear. 

Myth #7:  It's only necessary to clean the sections of the roof that have visible stains.  Just because you can’t see algae stains on certain parts of the roof doesn’t mean that it’s not already there and beginning to develop.  Keep in mind that in its early stages roof algae is completely invisible to the naked eye. 

Myth #8:  Ambient temperature has no effect on the effectiveness of a roof algae cleaner.  If you’re using the correct chemical mixture then it will be most effective when the temperature is above 50 degrees.

Myth #9:  Roof cleaning is an easy DIY project that any homeowner can do in an afternoon.  There’s nothing easy or quick about roof cleaning.  In fact, if you approach it with a cavalier attitude you run a good chance of injuring yourself.

Myth #10:  Roof cleaning companies tend to overprice their work and take advantage of consumers.  I guess I’m always a little disappointed when I tell someone the cost to clean their roof and they give me attitude and insinuate that I’m somehow attempting to rip them off.  I think people hear that word “cleaning” and they think it should be cheap like carpet cleaning or house cleaning.  Think about it.  Does a carpet cleaner spend three hours at your house sweating his butt off and getting sunburned?  No.  Does a carpet cleaner run the possibility of paralysis or death by simply doing his job?  No.  Does a carpet cleaner spend $100 on chemicals for every single job?  No.  Can a carpet cleaner offer you a guarantee that the treated surface will stay clean for years to come?  No.  There’s so much more that goes into a professional roof cleaning than for any other kind of residential cleaning service that it’s really not even fair to lump them into the same category.  As a matter of fact, I actually think that many roof cleaning companies come in too low with their prices when you consider all the variables involved.  I also challenge you to name me one other home improvement service that can instantly transform a home’s curb appeal in a single afternoon for less.  Can’t be done.  And when you consider that it not only makes your home more beautiful but also extends the life of your expensive roof by a matter of years I think that having a roof cleaned is one of the smartest and most cost-effective things that a homeowner could possibly do to protect their biggest investment.

So now that I’ve cleared the air and educated you about the myths that surround the roof cleaning industry I hope you’ll take these words of advice to heart because they represent the straightest talk about this topic that you’re going to find.
