Why do roofs get dirty so fast in Florida?

I get that question a lot while on my daily travels visiting with clients in need of our soft roof cleaning services. I explain to them that it is part of the deal when you live in such a warm humid climate like we do in Florida.

The conditions are just right in the our area for algae and other nasty organisms to take root on our roof tops and start diminishing the appearance as well as the life span of the roof. As roof cleaning professionals, we know all to well how letting that dirty, algae infested roof go uncleaned can degrade the asphalt shingles, tile, and metal roofs, as well leave homes and businesses with an ugly appearance and no curb appeal.

By now you must be asking yourself how can the algae can degrade the shingles. Well, the reason for this is, is that todays asphalt shingles are made with limestone fillers, which is added to them to help give them more weight. The algae feeds on these limestone fillers in the asphalt shingles, in result the algae is eating your roof away. Many things degrade a roof including the suns rays, but obviously it makes sense to prevent the damage that we are able to control.

We here at A-1 Pressure Washing & Roof Cleaning, only clean roofs using no pressure methods that allow us to achieve excellent results, and doing so in a soft, safe manor.

What you should know about cleaning your florida roof…

Your house is most likely your biggest investment and your roof is one of the most expensive parts of your home. It is extremely important to have the utmost in confidence in your decision before hiring a qualified Roof Cleaning Contractor.

A-1 only use chemicals approved by the ARMA* (Asphalt Roofing Manufacturers Association) and does not use high pressure on your roof asphalt shingles, tile shingles, or metal shingles. We also provide our roof cleaning customers with a technical bulletin directly from Asphaltroofing.org to prove that our roof cleaning procedures and chemicals are properly formulated for roof cleaning. Our chemicals provide enough cleaning power to remove all roof mold, mildew, and black streaks on your roof…without any pressure washing or heavy rinsing. We guarantee your Florida Roof will look brand new after our cleaning!

Pressure washing is never recommended to clean a roof because it will remove a large amount of the ceramic coated granules from your roof shingles and protective coating on tile roofs which will void the roofing warranty. Even low pressure will cause roof granule loss and shorten the life of your roofing shingles. If you have ever cleaned out the inside of your gutters you will notice dislodged roofing granules in them just from the rain taking them off. Think what any additional high pressure would do to your roof. For instance, you see someone cleaning a roof with pressure and it appears they have done a good roof cleaning job just because the black streaks and roof discoloration are gone, but guess what? So is a large amount of the roofs protective ceramic coated granules which insure your shingle’s warranty. Nobody wants to replace a prematurely failed roof due to an incompetent roof cleaning contractor, and you shouldn’t have to.

A-1 Pressure Washing & Roof Cleaning offers an Unconditional 3 year Mold Free Warranty against any streaks reappearing on your shingles, tile, or metal roof.

Always use a ‘chemical only’ cleaning process for your roof. Roof Cleaning is a completely different trade from pressure washing, requiring different pumps, plumbing, hoses, nozzles, valves, chemicals, caution, knowledge, experience, skill, and insurance. A-1 Pressure Washing & Roof Cleaning of North Port has all of the necessary tools, knowledge, and experience to tackle the toughest of roof cleaning jobs. Fully licensed & Insured

Make sure you know what kind of roof cleaning chemicals are being applied on your property. Do not accept “it’s biodegradable” for an answer. Even uranium is biodegradable over 50,000 years or so. Our roof cleaning chemicals do all of the work to remove black streaks and Algae discoloration from your roof and require no pressure or heavy rinsing. Because we do not have to rinse, your roof will stay cleaner longer than our competitors. Leaving the chemicals on the roof creates a roof treatment or a hostile environment for future algae growth. Each time it rains, a small amount of roof cleaning chemical is washed off to help re-clean your roof over and over again.

Concerned about your plants, pets, and landscaping?

We only spray the roof, not your plants. We always bag the ends of your downspouts and collect all the chemical run-off from the roof and dispose of them away from your landscaping. After the roof cleaning chemical evaporates from the roof, the dried crystals and surfactant act as a roof treatment and keep the roof cleaner longer as it rains
