Roof cleaning in North Miami, Florida
Dark streaks, green growth and dirt collect quickly in Florida's heat and humidity. Cleaning takes them off the surface so the roof looks like itself again and its condition can be seen.
- Algae streaks and mold
- Tile, shingle and metal
- Surface growth and dirt
What the dark streaks are
The dark streaks down many Florida roofs are usually algae, and moss and lichen can follow where a roof stays damp. They start as a surface problem and make an old roof look older than it is.
Cleaning removes that growth and the dirt that holds it. The method is chosen to suit the material, because tile coatings, shingle granules and metal finishes do not all take the same treatment.
A clean roof is also easier to read: cracks, slipped tiles and worn flashing that hide under a layer of growth show up once it is gone.
- Dark streaks running down the slope
- Green or fuzzy growth
- Dirt along the lower edge
- A roof that has gone dull
What you get with Roof cleaning
A roof that looks like itself
The surface growth that darkens a roof comes off, and the roof's own color shows again.
Problems made visible
With the growth gone, cracks and worn spots that were hidden can be seen and dealt with.
The right method for the material
Tile, shingle and metal each get a treatment suited to them, not one routine for every roof.
What cleaning is and is not
Cleaning removes surface growth and dirt. It does not repair leaks, replace cracked tiles or renew worn flashing, though it makes all of them easier to find.
Roofs we clean
The method changes with the surface.
- Concrete and clay tile
- Asphalt shingle
- Metal panels
- Low-slope membrane roofs
Roof cleaning questions
Is roof cleaning the same as repair?
No. Cleaning removes surface growth and dirt. A leak, a cracked tile or a worn flashing still needs a repair, though cleaning makes them easier to see.
Will cleaning bring back the roof's original color?
Cleaning removes what has darkened the surface, and the roof's own color then shows again. A roof that has aged for many seasons will not look brand new, but it will look much more like itself.
Can a roof be cleaned and inspected in one visit?
They fit well together, because a clean roof is much easier to inspect and the growth no longer hides cracks or worn spots. Ask for both when you call and we plan the visit around them.
