Our Roof Cleaning Process

Thorough Inspection

We begin each project with a detailed inspection of your roof to assess its condition. This allows us to identify areas with heavy moss and algae growth, roof moss, or other organic materials. We take note of the roofing material and determine the best cleaning approach, whether it’s using pressure washing for tougher areas or a gentler soft wash method for more delicate surfaces. The goal is to provide a tailored roof cleaning service that meets your unique needs.

Protective Treatment Application

After we wash your roof, we apply a protective treatment designed to prevent future growth of moss and algae. This long-lasting solution acts as a roof moss killer and keeps your roof clean for an extended period, reducing the need for frequent cleanings. Our treatments are environmentally safe and ensure that your roof remains resilient to Spokane’s changing weather conditions. With this added layer of protection, your roof will maintain its clean look and high performance for years to come.

Customized Cleaning Approach

Every roof is different, and our cleaning approach reflects that. Depending on the condition of your roof, we may use a variety of washing methods. For older or more delicate roofs, our soft wash method uses lower pressure, ensuring a deep clean without damaging your roofing material. For newer or more resilient surfaces, we may use pressure washing to remove stubborn dirt, moss, and organic growth. Each approach is designed to protect and enhance your roof while effectively removing contaminants.

FAQ

Keeping your roof clean is essential for maintaining its longevity, efficiency, and aesthetic appeal. Below is a comprehensive FAQ section covering everything you need to know about roof cleaning, from essential queries to specific information about the services offered by LAV Spokane Painting.

Roof Washing: Why Is It Important?

Roof washing is vital for protecting your home and ensuring its durability. Over time, debris, moss, algae, and dirt accumulate on your roof, leading to potential damage if left untreated. Regular washing:

  • Prevents Structural Damage: Debris buildup can trap moisture, leading to rot and roof degradation.
  • Improves Curb Appeal: A clean roof enhances the overall look of your home.
  • Extends Roof Lifespan: Proper maintenance prevents wear and tear caused by moss and algae.
  • Increases Energy Efficiency: Removing dirt and grime helps your roof reflect sunlight better, lowering indoor temperatures.

Soft Wash Roof Cleaning: How Does It Work?

Soft wash roof cleaning is a gentle yet effective method used to clean roofs without causing damage to the materials. Unlike pressure washing, which uses high-pressure water streams, soft washing combines low-pressure water with eco-friendly cleaning solutions.

Advantages of Soft Wash Roof Cleaning:

  • Safe for All Roof Types: Ideal for delicate materials like asphalt shingles, clay tiles, or slate.
  • Kills Moss and Algae: The cleaning solution eliminates organic growth at its roots, preventing regrowth.
  • Environmentally Friendly: Biodegradable solutions are safe for plants, pets, and the environment.

Soft washing ensures a thorough clean without compromising the integrity of your roof.

Roof Moss Remover: Why Is It Necessary?

Moss may seem harmless, but it can cause significant damage to your roof. It holds moisture against the surface, which can lead to:

  • Rot and Decay: Persistent moisture weakens roofing materials.
  • Blocked Drainage: Moss clogs gutters and drainage systems.
  • Increased Weight: Wet moss adds unnecessary weight, straining the roof's structure.Using a professional roof moss remover ensures effective removal without damaging the roof. Experts use specialized tools and treatments to eliminate moss and prevent its return.

Tile Roof Cleaning: What Are the Best Practices?

Tile roofs are durable and aesthetically pleasing, but they require regular cleaning to maintain their appearance and functionality.
Steps for Tile Roof Cleaning:

  1. Inspect the Roof: Check for damaged or loose tiles that need repair before cleaning.
  2. Remove Debris: Clear leaves and branches to prepare the surface.
  3. Use Soft Wash Techniques: Low-pressure water combined with cleaning agents removes dirt, algae, and moss without damaging tiles.
  4. Apply a Protective Treatment: After cleaning, applying a sealant can help protect tiles from future growth and staining.

Professional tile roof cleaning ensures your roof remains in top condition without risking damage.

Roof Shingle Cleaning: How Is It Done?

Cleaning roof shingles requires precision and care, as shingles are prone to damage if handled improperly. Here’s how professionals handle it:

  1. Surface Preparation: Remove loose debris with a soft-bristle broom or blower.
  2. Apply Cleaning Solutions: Use a gentle, eco-friendly solution to loosen dirt, algae, and moss.
  3. Rinse with Soft Wash Equipment: A low-pressure rinse removes contaminants without harming the shingles.
  4. Inspect for Damage: Check for missing or damaged shingles and address any issues promptly.

Roof shingle cleaning restores your roof’s appearance and prolongs its lifespan while maintaining its protective qualities.

How to Clean a Roof: Can It Be Done DIY?

Cleaning a roof yourself is possible but comes with risks. Here are the basic steps for DIY roof cleaning:

  1. Gather Tools and Safety Equipment: Use a sturdy ladder, safety harness, and non-slip shoes.
  2. Clear Debris: Start by removing leaves and branches from the roof’s surface.
  3. Apply Cleaning Solution: Mix a safe cleaning solution (like water and bleach) and spray it on affected areas.
  4. Rinse Thoroughly: Use a garden hose to rinse the roof, avoiding high-pressure tools that can cause damage.

Why Choose Professionals Instead?
While DIY cleaning may save money, it’s labor-intensive and potentially dangerous. Professional services like those offered by LAV Spokane Painting ensure a safer and more thorough cleaning, using industry-standard tools and techniques.

How Often Should I Schedule Roof Cleaning?

The frequency of roof cleaning depends on several factors, including your local climate, surrounding vegetation, and the type of roofing material.
General Guidelines:

  • Annually: For roofs exposed to high humidity, heavy rainfall, or significant moss and algae growth.
  • Every 2-3 Years: For roofs in dry climates with minimal tree coverage.
  • Seasonally: In areas with heavy foliage, cleaning after the fall season helps prevent debris buildup.

A professional inspection can help determine the best cleaning schedule for your roof.

Is Roof Cleaning Safe for Landscaping and the Environment?

Yes, professional roof cleaning services prioritize environmental and landscaping safety. At LAV Spokane Painting, we:

  • Use Biodegradable Solutions: Our cleaning agents break down naturally and won’t harm your plants or pets.
  • Protect Your Landscaping: We cover sensitive areas around your home to prevent runoff from affecting your garden.
  • Follow Eco-Friendly Practices: Our methods minimize water waste and avoid harsh chemicals that could impact the environment.

Choosing a professional service ensures your roof is cleaned without compromising the safety of your surroundings.

Why Choose Roof Cleaning Over Roof Replacement?

Roof cleaning is a cost-effective alternative to replacement. Here’s why:

  • Restores Appearance: Cleaning removes stains, moss, and dirt, making your roof look like new.
  • Extends Lifespan: Regular maintenance prevents the need for premature replacement.
  • Saves Money: Cleaning costs a fraction of what you’d spend on a full roof replacement.

Unless your roof is severely damaged, professional cleaning is often the best solution to revitalize its condition and functionality.

Can you clean a roof that has old lead-based paint on it?

Yes! We use low-pressure cleaning methods to safely remove dirt and debris without disturbing lead-based paint.
If needed, we can encapsulate the old lead-based layers before applying modern, protective coatings.
