  elements. In the bargain, it also bears the brunt

  further plagued by issues like lichen, moss, dirt
  and other corrosive stuff.

What is roof cleaning?

  mildew, lichen, algae and moss from the roofs of
  buildings. 

• There are two tile roof cleaning methods in use
  today.

1. The first is an old-style method where you
manually scrub the dirt and growth that has
accumulated over time. This is done using a
scraper and a brush. 
2. The second method involves using a pressure
washer for the same purpose. 

• There are also a couple of post-cleaning tasks
  that are recommended by roof cleaning experts. 

• Talk to commercial roofing contractors for more
  information on choosing the right product to
  treat your roof with.

Why should I go for roof cleaning?

• Is roof cleaning necessary? The simple answer is
  no. That said, the real reason is more nuanced.
  Problems in your roof because of dirt and moss
  are rare and materialise only if the build-up is
  severe.

  your roof look brand new, which is fantastic when
  you consider the cost of getting your entire roof
  redone.

• If you are still sceptical, do a quick web search
  for examples of roof cleaning before and after.
  That will surely power-wash away all your doubts.

How much will roof cleaning cost me?

• The exact roof cleaning and coating cost that you
  will incur depends upon several factors.  This
  includes.

companies offer a roof cleaning cost on
per square foot. 2. Ease of access to your
roof. 3. Your roofs state of repair. 4. The
degree of dirt and moss build-up. 5. Type of your
roof. 6. Type of roof cleaning you need, i.e.
manual scraping or power washing. 7. How do I
select a roof cleaning service?

  However, you can aim for a lower price by getting
  quotes from multiple roof cleaning services.

• How much time does roof cleaning take?

This is yet another aspect that is influenced by
multiple factors. They include, 1. The amount of
dirt, lichen and moss that have accumulated on
your roof over time 2. The degree of
difficulty (or ease) in accessing your roof and
working up there 3. The shape and size of
your roof

• Can I clean the roof on my own?

Unlike other jobs, roof cleaning is not
complicated and doesnt need a bevy of roof
cleaning equipment. height is what makes roof
cleaning DIY a risky proposition.
Professional roof cleaning services, on the other
hand, employ people who have extensive experience
in working at heights and are well-versed with
the precautions that need to be taken while
cleaning your roof

But how do I avoid a bad roof cleaning contractor?

• There is always the threat of ending up with a
  contractor or service that overcharges, does a
  haphazard job of cleaning your roof, or worse,
  even damages your dirty but intact roofing.

• Avoid those who quote unbelievably low. You
  already know the ballpark cost for roof cleaning.
  If a quote undercuts the average by a large
  margin, that is your cue for looking at another
  provider.

• Check online reviews. A simple search for
  roofing cleaning companies near me will get you
  tens of companies offering the service in your
  vicinity. 

• Ask your friends, colleagues and neighbours for
  recommendations.
