Welcome to Family Roofing

Whether you live in a bungalow or a classic home, your roof plays a vital role in giving your home that perfect look.  But your roof gets dirty and less attractive as it ages.  Have you ever looked at your stained and discolored roof and considered just getting a new one?  Every year, people opt to have an unnecessary roof replacement.  In many cases, you can revitalize your stained, worn-looking roof by getting it professionally cleaned.

Your roof is one of the most important structures on a home, protecting your loved ones and belongings from environmental elements day-in, day out.  Over time, this takes a toll on the roof, causing damage, leaks, and mold that can compromise the integrity of the entire home.  Every year people choose to replace their roof when they could have simply had it cleaned, saving thousands of dollars in costs. Consider having your roof professionally cleaned and protect the investment that you have made in your home.

Keeps Your Home Cool

When grunge made of organic matter like tree sap, plus air pollutants, build up on your roof, the surface darkens and tends to absorb more heat, making your house warmer and increasing your power bills during long, hot summers.

Saves You Money

Getting your roof cleaned will remove those extra layers and reduce the heat absorption rate.  Clean roofs will likely reduce energy bills, increase your indoor comfort, and extend your roof’s life.

Maintains the Warranty Status of Your Roof

Most manufacturers offer a long-term warranty for their roofing products.  However, many homeowners void their warranty by failing to follow the manufacturer’s recommendation. Regular roof maintenance and cleaning are essential in maintaining the status of your warranty.

Prevents Expenses Caused by Damages

Debris getting stuck on your roof might not seem like a serious problem until you start experiencing roof leaks.  Small pieces of rubbish could attract mold and mildew that eat away at your roof.  Other debris can loosen and dislodge roof shingles.  Regular roof and gutter cleanings eliminate debris.  Cleaning prevents damages that could be costly, all the while ensuring that your roof lasts longer!

Increases the Value of Your Home

A clean and attractive exterior to your home, and especially your roof, boosts your confidence and increases the market value of your house, meaning you’ll have an easier time selling it and will hopefully bring in a higher offer, giving you an upper hand during sales negotiations.

Saves Money Rather Than Replacing or Repairing

As the proverbial saying goes, “An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.”  Cleaning a roof is much less expensive than having it replaced or repaired.  The cost of cleaning a roof, usually a few hundred dollars, is ten or fifteen times less than installing a new one.  If you are looking for ways to reduce the maintenance costs in your home, be sure to consider regular roof cleaning.

Protects From Pests and Rodents

Rodents and pests are attracted to places with rubbish and dirt.  Cleaning your roof gets rid of debris and all rotting wood that may be calling seductively to these creatures.  Roof cleaning will not only save you from embarrassments, but it also ensures that your property is safe from such animals.

Roof debris and rotting wood can attract fungi, insects, and various rodents.  Acidic bird droppings can damage your roof, and the nests of bees, hornets, and wasps can weaken your shingles.  Tile roofs, in particular, may have spots where pests can live or even holes that allow insects and animals to get into your attic.  Regular cleaning of your roof will help prevent pests from getting too cozy up there and keep them out of your house.

Each year, homeowners are forced to make major repairs to or completely replace their roof because of neglect.  They didn’t realize that a regular and comprehensive roof cleaning would have added years to the life of their roof and saved them a major expense.
