Roof Cleaning Jacksonville Florida

Soft Washing/Exteriors

How do I know if my home or business needs exterior cleaning?

Generally here in the Jacksonville FL area, annual cleanings are recommended. The humidity plus overall climate conditions, allow for very quick accumulation of mold, mildew, and algae. Also, it usually only takes a couple of the summer months for the huge bug population to take over the exterior of your home or business. Staying on top these issues before they get too out of hand is always recommended.

Why not clean it myself?

Despite what the folks at the big home centers would like you to think, exterior pressure washing, soft washing, or roof cleaning is not something that most people should try tackling themselves.
Even amongst the professionals, it can literally take years of experience and thousands of jobs before many reach a high level of competency in these trades.
Simply buying a small pressure washer does not qualify a person to have the appropriate knowledge or skill that it takes to achieve quality results, and more importantly, to achieve those quality results safely.

What causes the black streaks on my roof?

Roof discoloration due to algae, fungus, mold, mildew and even lichen can be a big problem in this part of the country, and the greater Jacksonville, Florida area is no exception. The humidity, warm weather climate, and rainfall make the conditions just right for these Algae to take root and thrive on just about every roof top in the South East. If your roof hasn't become infested yet, it's just a matter of time before it will.

New roofs today will usually start to show visual sign of algae discoloration in as little as 3-4 years. Algae, mold, and mildew left unchecked, can slowly start to degrade the shingles and take years of life off of your roof. Lichen and moss can be much worse, and do serious damage to a roof within just several years.

Some roofs today are being manufactured using a different process where copper and zinc granules are mixed in with the regular color crushed rock granules to help prevent the growth of algae. Although these shingles help, and do per long the the amount of time it takes for the roof to discolor, they will eventually start to show algae as well.
