Have you recently invested in a roof restoration or paint job? If you have and you want to get the most out of the investment, maintaining the surface will be very important.
And that good news is, there’s a simple hack to keep your roof looking in top shape that doesn’t cost an arm and a leg.
So, what is it? We reveal all below!
Simple Roof Maintenance Hack
Once you’ve spent the money to reinvigorate your home and its roof, you’ll want to make that renewed look last as long as possible.
One way to maintain your roof surface is to wash it regularly to keep it free of dirt and dust. Why? Well, the longer grime is present, the more likely it will prematurely age your roof coating. Plus, you don’t need any roofing or cleaning products to make a difference.
We recommend simply giving the roof of your home a good hose down with water and a sweep with a very soft broom every 12 to 18 months.
If your roof has been painted, using a high-pressure water blaster for cleaning can actually cause damage to the paint. That’s why if you are wanting to use a water blaster to clean your roof, we recommend a maximum of 800-1000 PSI pressure (pounds of force per square inch) on painted surfaces.
*It’s important to note that some stubborn substances, like bat poo, won’t come off as easily and may require further intervention.
