Roof Cleaning

Roofs generally need to be cleaned in areas where there are a lot of trees around the roof. Leaves and other debris from the trees can cover up the roof causing algae and moss development in most cases. Cleaning the roof not only improves the look but can greatly extend its life. 

We provide roof cleaning services using a combination of manual and pressure washing tools. Chemicals containing bleach etc. may be required to be used to kill the moss and algae.

Can the roof get damaged during the cleaning process?

Roof shingles can get damaged if cleaning is not done carefully. A pressure washer should not be used at very high pressure as it can damage old and brittle shingles. 

Cleaning chemicals used in the process should not be too harsh and should be diluted correctly to avoid damage to the roof materials and to the plants around the house. 

How to prevent the growth of moss and algae on the roof?

It is recommended to trim overhanging trees and bushes from near the roof. These block sunlight and cause moisture to build up on the roof. 

Installing zinc strips at the top edges can be very helpful in preventing moss growth. Regular cleanup may be required in some cases. 

How often to clean the roof?

Most roofs are not even required to be cleaned for years. Also, there is no point in cleaning a roof that has very little life left from replacing the shingles.

If your house happens to have a lot of greenery around the house and you see leaves and other debris on some or all sides, it’s best to get it cleaned once every year around the fall season.

I had contacted Real blue roofing Service to do insulation in the attic and install two washroom vents on my roof. The Real blue team who came were very Professional, and first thing explained to me what they were doing. So they first removed all the old insulation, installed two vents and plus two extra vents on the roof. They worked very hard with no water break or lunch break and on the way they took pictures of before and after. Also after the job completed they vacuumed the full area including the carpet on the stairs and left our very clean. Mr. Dill Singh all hats off for a superb job your team did at our place. This is the second time I have used this company, many years back they installed a new roof, and when I saw them in this new business and expansion I right away call them no doubt I had some more estimates from different Attic companies. If any one needs a roof replaced or attic take care they are the people you need to contact. I strongly recommend this company Real Blue Roofing Services for any work, their pricing is very reasonable and take the liberty to explain the full estimate and what needs to be done. Once again Mr. Dill Singh and your team who you deployed I don't know their names I personally thank you for their hard work (specially the guy who was in the attic doing the job). they worked very diligently, with no water breaks or lunch break in between, you very rarely find such honest, hard working and diligent workers. Please thank your crew on our behalf. This is why I gave them 5 stars, I could talk a lot about this company, but right now I say eyes closed if you need something done please don't hesitate to contact Real Blue Roofing Services. I would had pictures but I have not received them.

I thank you for your amazing service. It is almost a miracle today to receive such a good and reliable service. Quick response to when I called, thorough investigation of the problems, the repair is done perfectly and fast. And for me also very important the honest, respectful communication, a feeling of trust that is hard to find. I will never take my business elsewhere. Thank you Deepak and your team!!!
