Outsource Your Roofing Chores

Getting up on your roof to take care of your roofing chores can be dangerous. That is why you need to hire a professional they are experienced in what to do and how to do it safely. Let’s look at 3 roofing chores that you didn’t know you could outsource. 

Roof Washing

You’ve probably heard of people having their roof washed, but why? There are a couple of reasons why you would want your roof washed: 

Prevents damage: plant growth can be destructive to your shingles, causing them to fail before it is time for a replacement. Often, insurance companies will deny claims for roof replacement if there is plant growth involved. Therefore, it’s important to wash your roof, so this doesn’t happen. 

Improves curb appeal: when you have your roof washed, it can make your roof look new again. This is especially beneficial if you’re trying to sell your home, it makes it look better, which increases the chances of it selling quickly. 

Roof Cleaning Methods 

There are two primary ways to wash a roof: chemical and mechanical. Chemical involves using chemicals to wash the roof, and mechanical involves using a power washer. Many companies in the area use pressure washing. However, this can do more damage to your roof than you might think. 

We use a non-pressurized method to dispense a chemical to kill algae, moss, and lichen, which will stop the damage and increase the life expectancy of your roof. You will see results almost immediately, and it will continue to improve over the next 2-3 weeks as the lichen and moss begin to change color, dry out, and be washed off by rains. 

Gutter Cleaning

Gutters and downspouts are critical to the exterior of your home, but, unfortunately, are often overlooked. When gutters get clogged, it can lead to various issues, including soffit rot, soil erosion, mosquito breeding, and even termite infestation—schedule regular gutter cleaning to prevent these issues in your home or building. 

We are committed to ensuring that homeowners and businesses preserve their gutters through professional gutter cleaning and maintenance. We have over a century of combined experience and know exactly what is required to have a clean, functioning gutter system.  

Snow Removal

Your roof is designed to withstand a little bit of punishment. After all, it is directly exposed to the elements. It can even handle some snow and ice, but not too much. The problem in the northern climates is that snow and ice can accumulate quickly and needs to be removed before damage is done. 

We offer professional snow removal because we know how damaging it can be if it gets too heavy and sits too long. Even snow and ice that weighs 20 pounds per square foot can cause serious issues.
