Roof Cleaning Tips

Although new building materials are particularly durable, they require some maintenance, for aesthetic and practical reasons.

When it comes to the aesthetic considerations, you definitely want a roof with an impeccable aspect. Unfortunately, as a consequence of the action of time, as well as of dirt, pollution, bird excrements etc., its brightness and vivid colors will fade away. Additionally, especially in the case of ceramic tile roofs, moss, algae and even mold will form on their surface. Visible on northern side of the roof at first, where the moisture level is higher, these unpleasant details will become more and more obvious, as the time passes. As a consequence, the elegant appearance of your once new roof will be replaced with a dirty and unattractive aspect.

When it comes to practical reasons, the functionality of the roof can be affected by the factors that also alter its aspect. Mold formation may block the spaces between the tiles, which can lead to water infiltrations. Rain water will not be collected properly by the drainage system, but will be absorbed between the tiles, which will trigger deterioration of the roof structure. Those experienced in roofing Commerce MI homes can be helpful in keeping your roof functional.

Mold, fungus, and bacteria can spread and infiltrate the walls or the internal structure of the roof. The thermo insulation of the building can also be affected. Roofs absorb the warmth of the sun, but if they are covered with mold and algae they will partially lose this feature.

Professional, Knowledgeable, and stress free is how I would describe my experience with Roof One. From first call, a representative actually answers the phone with a friendly welcome. Jason was prompt and quick to come out and give a detailed consultation. Antonio’s crew was amazing! Not only were they on time, but a few minutes early. They made sure to walk me through the process and didn’t leave until the job was complete. Scott helped work with my insurance adjuster and went out of his way to make sure I was completely satisfied. Bill and Sandra in the office treated me like family and Steve, the owner, was very kind and welcomed me to the Roof One family. Phenomenal Job Roof One, my family and I couldn’t be happier - Thank you!

From the beginning to the end, Roof one really impressed me regarding their professionalism when roofing my house. In particular Steve and Mark managed this job wonderfully. The crew they sent over did such a wonderful quality job and made sure my property was free of nails and debris. I would definitely hire this company for a roof job. Very straight forward with their prices and options. I was also grateful they hooked up vent fans and provided a gorgeous flashing for my large chimney. Good job guys! Wish there were more contractors like you!
