Roof Cleaning

What is Roof Cleaning?

Roof cleaning is a process of removing built-up debris, mold, mildew, algae growth, and stains from the shingles or tiles of your roof. Over time, Florida’s hot and humid climate can cause organic growth and residue to accumulate. A proper cleaning restores your roof’s original beauty and clears harmful buildup. Kelly Roofing professionals have been carefully trained to perform proper roof cleanings without damaging roof tiles.

Why Do You Need Roof Cleaning?

There are a few reasons it’s smart to invest in periodic roof cleaning:

Improved curb appeal
Removing stains and grime
Clear algae and plant growth
Prolong roof life
Prevent HOA nasty-grams
Maintain your building’s value

Common Reasons for Roof Cleaning

Mold Growth

Algae Buildup

Exposure to humidity causes roof mold in Florida. Mold is damaging and unhealthy. A cleaning clears this mold growth.

General Dirtiness

Similar to mold, humid Florida weather causes roof algae accumulation, which a cleaning removes

Staining

Dust, soot, leaves, and pollution cause roofs to appear dirty over the years. A cleaning restores roofs to like-new condition.

Having Your Florida Roof Cleaned by a Roofer vs a Powerwasher

When it’s time to clean your roof, you may be tempted to rent a power washer and DIY. However, we strongly advise hiring professional roof cleaners like Kelly Roofing instead. Here’s why:

Power Washing Risks Roof Damage

Improper power washing from everyday homeowners and Power washing companies leads to costly roof damage, including:

Granule Loss – Power washing strips protective granule coating from shingles
Water Intrusion – Power washing forces water past shingles, allowing interior leaks
Surface Damage – High-pressure water blasts can damage the shingle surface and shorten roof life.

Roof Cleaning Services in Florida from the Experts at Kelly Roofing

Is your roof looking dirty, moldy, or covered in ugly stains? At Kelly Roofing, we are Florida’s top specialists in safe, effective roofing services for residential and commercial buildings, including roof cleanings. Avoid damage from dangerous do-it-yourself methods or forceful pressure washing companies. Our proprietary roof cleaning service restores the beauty of your roof while protecting its integrity.

Kelly Roofing uses low-pressure cleaning

Power washing companies use dangerously high water pressures of up to 4,000 PSI. This blasts away your tile’s protective outer layer and forces water underneath to cause leaks. We use gentle, low pressure at 1,200 PSI (as advised by the Tile Roof Institute) to lift debris and stains without stripping tiles. Our special whisper washer with spinning heads thoroughly cleans each tile in a single pass without risk.

We use non-toxic cleaning formulas

Typical roof cleaning chemicals contain harsh solvents and acids that damage metal flashings and leach to damage landscaping. Kelly Roofing uses an eco-friendly formula called Roof Rain that is completely safe for your home’s materials, nearby plants, and pets. Our non-toxic cleaner also deposits an invisible shield to prevent future buildup, keeping your roof clean.

Only A Professional Roofing Contractor Should Ever Walk On Your Roof!

While power washing works to remove mold & algae from your tile roof in the short term, it can cause long-term headaches:

Etching the surface of the tile
Cutting through sealants & underlayments
Making the tile more porous, allowing algae/mold/mildew growth to come back even faster
Accelerating the buildup of growth by providing a better home for colonies to grow

High-pressure and harsh chemical systems should be avoided. They will drastically reduce the useful life of your tile roof. Not only does the pressure washing method cause irreparable damage to your roof, but untrained employees can also cause expensive damage to your roof’s structure. Pressure cleaning companies are not licensed, trained, or certified to work on or repair roofs. Avoid having to pay twice for the work: one price to clean, one price to repair the damages it caused!
