Debris, moss, algae, and lichen can degrade roofing materials. Especially moss, but any growth on your roof requires it to adhere to the shingles. Those shingles lose the protective coating and can be damaged. I have also seen shingles damaged by moss growth under the shingle warping the shape of the shingle. The increased water retention, roots, and other factors can lead to costly repairs.

Roof Washing increases the longevity of your roof. Even if you do not have a thick carpet of moss threatening to damage your roof quickly; mold, algae, and lichen can still slowly remove that protective coating and heavily influence when you will be looking at replacing your current roof.

Curb appeal; you may have noticed black or green stains on your roof, or if not you may want to look. Stained roofs from algae and moss growth can significantly detract from a home’s curb appeal, affecting its resale value. By washing your roof we can bring it back to its former beauty.

The method: there are a lot of individuals and companies who, rather than purchasing costly equipment, surfactants, and detergents use pressure to wash your roof of unwanted growth. The problem with this approach is that the pressure needed to remove the growth also removes the protective coating on the shingle degreasing the longevity of your roof and often leaving marks in your roof. At Busy B Powerwashing, we use appropriate equipment, surfactants, detergents, and other chemicals coating your roof so growth is killed over time. We leave the chemicals on the roof as the growth dies it falls off the roof naturally and will not harm your shingles.

The Price: Busy B Powerwashing often claims affordable, and reasonable pricing. However, roof washing is not something that you want to outsource to the cheapest guy. You can expect a roof washing with Busy to be at least double the price of a house wash. The chemicals are more expensive and we use more of them, the equipment is more expensive, and there is a greater injury risk especially if we need to walk the roof. If you find someone who is extremely low in pricing you need to know if they are using pressure, if they are using the proper chemicals and equipment, what the dilution rate is, and whether they are insured.
