Asphalt Roof Cleaning

Roofs are frequently made with asphalt shingles for a number of reasons. Asphalt shingles are versatile, relatively affordable, easy to install, and they work well with a number of design styles.

That said, like any roofing material, asphalt shingles can and will get dirty over time. It’s important to hire qualified professionals to clean them when this happens. If you try to clean your roof without the proper equipment and experience, you may actually do more harm than good. Additionally, your roof’s lifespan will also diminish if you wait too long to schedule service.

These aren’t issues you need to worry about when you hire Prima Soft Wash. Offering asphalt roof cleaning services to homeowners throughout the Vancouver and Toronto area, we’ll make sure your roof stays in the best possible condition for as long as possible.

Why Asphalt Roof Cleaning is Crucial for Vancouver and Toronto Homeowners

Asphalt roof shingles that haven’t been cleaned on a regular basis often develop noticeable black streaks. Unfortunately, these streaks aren’t merely unattractive blemishes. They actually indicate the presence of Gloeocapsa magma a species of bacteria that often finds a home on asphalt roof shingles.

Extensive outbreaks of these black streaks will also have a negative impact on your home’s curb appeal, which impacts its value. That’s a good reason to schedule regular asphalt roof cleaning services. In the long run, doing so is actually a smart financial move!

More importantly, when these black streaks are not cleaned away, it (and other organisms it attracts such as moss and lichens) starts to eat away at your shingles.

In the short term, this leaves your home exposed to rain, snow, ice, and other potentially damage-causing elements. You could end up with costly water damage and/or mold problems if you don’t address the issue fast. Of course, in the long term, you’ll need to replace your roofing sooner than you planned to.

Yes, cleaning your asphalt shingles on a regular basis is important. That said, don’t make the mistake of trying to clean them on your own. You could actually cause additional damage if you go the DIY route.

That’s because many homeowners don’t realize that asphalt roofing shingles aren’t durable enough to withstand common cleaning methods. For example, if you were to take a power washer to your roof, you’d probably damage it. That leaves you with another bill you didn’t expect.

You’re much better off hiring the professionals at Prima Soft Wash. We use a special method that delivers thorough results without harming your shingles:

About Our Soft Wash Method

As you might have guessed, soft washing a roof involves a much more gentle approach than power washing. We combine safe, specially formulated detergents with water at very low pressure to gently (but, again, thoroughly) remove all algae, grime, and other unwanted materials from your roofing. This is the safest way to maximize its lifespan. However, it’s also a process that requires professional experience.
