Roof Cleaning

ROOF CLEANING

We understand that a clean roof not only improves your property’s appearance but also protects your investment in the long run. That’s why at GUAILLAS ROOFING INC we offer a specialized roof cleaning service in Binghamton, NY; Cortland, NY; Owego, NY, and other New York cities, designed to effectively remove mold, algae, fungi, leaves, branches, debris, and accumulated dirt that deteriorate materials over time.

Our professional approach is aimed at preserving both the aesthetics and structural integrity of the roof. Moss and algae buildup may seem harmless, but over time it compromises shingles, accelerates material wear, and can cause leaks. That’s why it’s essential to perform regular cleaning with safe techniques and appropriate products.

Professional Process We Follow at GUAILLAS ROOFING INC:

  1. Initial Inspection and Roof Evaluation: We begin with a visual and technical inspection to identify the type of dirt present, the general condition of the roof, and determine the most suitable cleaning method according to the material type (asphalt, shingles, metal, TPO, etc.).
  2. Work Area Preparation: We protect sensitive areas around the home or building (windows, plants, gutters) to avoid damage from water pressure or chemicals. We also ensure the drainage system is clear to facilitate the process.
  3. Controlled Pressure Washing (Soft Washing or Adjusted Pressure): We use precision-calibrated pressure washing equipment to thoroughly clean without damaging surfaces. For delicate materials, we apply “soft wash” techniques with low pressure and specialized detergents.
  4. Application of Anti-Fungal and Anti-Algae Treatments: We apply biodegradable products that eliminate existing algae, mold, and lichens while preventing their recurrence. These treatments prolong the cleaning effect and protect the roof from future biological damage.
  5. Rinsing and Final Review: We rinse the entire surface with clean water and check for any remaining residue or stains. A final inspection ensures the roof is completely clean and undamaged.

Importance of Roof Cleaning

Professional roof cleaning isn’t a luxury; it’s a necessary preventive maintenance task. A clean roof helps maintain the property’s aesthetic value, extends the lifespan of materials, and prevents costly premature deterioration. It also reduces the risk of moisture buildup, which can affect the roof’s internal structure or attic.
