URGENT NOTICE: YOUR INSURANCE POLICY IS AT RISK. INSURANCE COMPANIES ARE NOW MONITORING ROOF CONDITIONS FROM ABOVE.
Your deteriorating stained roof is no longer something you can haphazardly misdiagnose as "oh, it's just nothing but jet fuel, tree sap, or a dirty roof!" Today, your algae, mold, moss, and lichen-infested roof can affect your insurance policy. Insurance Companies are fully aware of the high cost of roof repairs and replacements. They also recognize the seriousness of algae, mold, moss, and lichen-infested roofs and how these can affect the lifespan of roof shingles. As a result, Insurance Companies are now issuing Cancellation Notices to homeowners in Virginia Beach, Chesapeake, Suffolk, Hampton Roads, Richmond, Northern VA, and across the US with algae, mold, moss, and lichen-infested roofs. Algae, mold, moss, and lichen not only affect the lifespan of roofs, but they also make homes look Dirty, Unattractive, Unhealthy, and NEGLECTED; this can also immediately cancel your policy. Many of our roof cleaning customers have already received such Cancellation Notices, compelling them to either replace the roof, have it cleaned professionally by a DPOR State Licensed roof cleaning contracting company, or face immediate cancellation. Moreover, Insurance Companies know that roof power washing can cause significant damage to roof shingles, including loosening or dislodging them, stripping away granules, and even causing leaks. This can lead to costly roof replacement and damage repair claims. Insurance companies stipulate that the roof cleaning service CANNOT use any pressure washing methods. IMPORTANT UPDATE: Some insurance companies are not offering homeowners with neglected roofs the option to clean them. The only options provided are to replace the roof or face cancellation. However, for those permitted to clean their roofs, read further to learn why insurance companies will reject your decision to hire a roof pressure washing service. The Question: "Is roof cleaning worth it?" The Answer: Homeowners Insurance Companies think so! The Advantages and Downsides of Roof Cleaning.
The Pros (advantages) of roof cleaning are that if performed correctly, roof cleaning (roof maintenance) can help extend the life of roofs, saving property owners thousands of dollars. Furthermore, it can take 300 YEARS for asphalt roof shingles to decompose in landfills. Because roof cleaning helps extend the life of roof shingles, there are fewer roof shingles in landfills. The Cons (downsides) of roof cleaning include the fact that the industry uses outdated cleaning methods, which can cause significant damage. Roof shingles have evolved; however, roof cleaning techniques are still in the past. Algae, mold, moss, and lichen grow between the roof shingle granules. Extracting the visible stains with pressure washing can rip or pull up the rooted algae, mold, moss, lichen, and shingle granules. NOTICE: Roof cleaning companies try to disguise their pressure washing methods with fancy terms like soft washing, low-pressure washing, gentle as rain, roof shampoo, and Google 5-star roof cleaning. The bottom line is that pressure washing is pressure washing. Regardless of how you try to disguise it, PRESSURE WASHING DAMAGE ROOFS. ONE SLIP! YOU'RE DEAD.  FAQ) Can I clean my roof myself?
A) Yes, with the proper safety equipment (roof safety harness for roofers, roof shoes, etc.), insurance, training, and chemicals. However, your question should be, is my life only worth cleaning my roof myself. Honey-do-list DIY projects can save money, but DIY roof cleaning can cost you your life. Watching a reckless DIY Clean Your Roof Easy Step by Step Roof Cleaning YouTube video and ignorantly adding DIY roof cleaning to a honey-do list can be the worse or last decision of a person's life. Roof cleaning is hazardous! One slip, and you are either seriously injured or killed. NOTICE: America's Most Dangerous Jobs lists a Roofer in its Top Ten Most Dangerous Jobs. Since most homeowners have neglected their roofs, cleaning a roof could be the most dangerous job, especially when adding water and chemicals to algae, mold, moss, and lichen-infested roofs. Most homeowners, roof cleaners, and internet search engines categorize roof cleaning as another pressure washing service without considering the extreme dangers of roof cleaning. However, roof cleaning is not just another house pressure washing service performed on a home or item added to a DIY honey-do list. Roof cleaning is in a category by itself. Roof cleaning carries significantly more complexities and danger than house pressure washing. Therefore, do not take roof cleaning lightly! Be smart and hire a State Licensed roof cleaning service company. Most importantly, ensure (verify) that the company that performs work on your property has Workers Compensation Insurance. Workers Compensation Insurance protects the workers, the property owner(s), and the company. Unlike fly-by-night pressure washing services trying to make cheap, quick bucks low-pressure or soft washing roofs, a State Licensed roof cleaning company with Workers Compensation Insurance cares about its workers, the property owner(s), and plans, on being in business tomorrow. BOTTOM LINE: Hiring an unlicensed, underinsured roof pressure washing service to clean your roof is not intelligent, but attempting Do-It-Yourself (DIY) roof cleaning is... (ok, it's STUPID!). Climbing a ladder, walking on a slippery algae-infested roof while wearing tennis shoes, pushing a broom, and carrying a pump sprayer filled with old-school bleach and soap is not a roof cleaning recipe; it is a recipe for disaster. Eight Questions Homeowners must ask Roof Cleaning Services: It's a common scenario: homeowners, without much thought, click on a pressure washing service ad, check review stars, make a call, and inquire about the cost of the roof cleaning service. However, this seemingly simple process can have severe repercussions. In 2024, making a hasty decision to hire a pressure washing service based solely on reviews and the lowest price can result in significant losses for homeowners. Any roof cleaning or pressure washing contractor near Chesapeake, Virginia Beach, Suffolk, Hampton Roads, Williamsburg, Northern VA, and throughout Virginia and the United States can purchase a soft-wash roof cleaning system. Next, purchase an ad, offer low-cheap prices to buy a few "good boy" review stars, and call their pressure washing "company" the top or #1 roof cleaning service in the State. While internet search engines can provide a starting point for homeowners in their search for roof cleaning services, it's crucial not to rely solely on them. Each roof cleaning company is unique, and in this day and age, making an informed choice is paramount to avoid costly and reckless decisions. The following roof cleaning questions and answers eliminate the Evening News' most popular homeowners' excuse, "But nobody told me!" Eight Questions Smart Homeowners Ask Roof Cleaning Services: 1) The first question smart homeowners ask a roof cleaning service is, "Do you have Workers Compensation Insurance?" According to 'America's Most Dangerous Jobs,' a Roofer ranks in the Top Ten Most Dangerous Jobs. Therefore, this is a stark reminder that roof cleaning can be perilous when dealing with water and chemicals on steep, slippery roofs infested with algae, mold, moss, and lichen. NOTICE: Homeowners are not immune from lawsuits. 2) The second question knowledgeable homeowners ask a roof cleaning service is, "Do you have General Liability Insurance?" Homeowners' insurance does not cover all contractor's accidents or mistakes. So, before the roof cleaning service begins, verify that the contractor is fully insured (General Liability and Workers Compensation Insurance). 3) The third question should be obvious and go without saying: "Are you fully licensed by the State?" A City Business License is not a State Contractor's License. In addition, Home Advisor, Angie, and Google Review Stars are not State contractors' licenses. Anyone, including criminals, can purchase a State Corporation Commission License, City Business License, Google Review Stars, Home Advisor, and Angie badges. A State Contractor's DPOR License requires passing a test and a criminal history. NOTICE: Always ask to see the state license, insurance, and multiple before-and-after pictures with addresses before agreeing to any work performed on the property. The Better Business Bureau verifies a company's DPOR state license and lists the license number and expiration date on its website. If the BBB does not list a contractor's DPOR state license, the roof cleaner will likely not have one. 4) The fourth question that informed homeowners ask a roof cleaning service is, "Does your roof cleaning service require water pressure or chemical pressure to remove algae, mold, moss, and lichen infestation from my roof?" If your main objective is to locate the cheapest pressure washing service to low-pressure or soft wash your roof, it is best to stand by and watch your horrific-infested roof deteriorate; it will likely last longer. Roof algae, mold, moss, and lichen can decrease a roof's life; however, incorrectly cleaning (low-pressure washing, soft washing) a roof can rapidly reduce the shingles' lifespan. IMPORTANT NOTICE! Although most homeowners, roof cleaners, and internet search engines ignorantly categorize roof cleaning with pressure washing services, DO NOT PRESSURE (high, low, or soft) WASH ROOF SHINGLES! Roof pressure washing services use terms such as "gentle as rain," "shingle safe," "approved for roof shingles," "soft washing," and "low-pressure" to describe their roof cleaning methods. These roof cleaning methods merely involve lowering and raising pressure to wash or remove visible stains from the roof. The rooted growth of algae, mold, moss, and lichen is between the roof shingle granules. Extracting the visible stains with pressure can rip or pull up the rooted algae, mold, moss, lichen, and shingle granules. Pressure washing has its place; however, it is not on a roof. The best roof cleaning treatments for asphalt and PVC membrane roofs are 100% Zero Pressure Roof Cleaning chemicals (NO old-school bleach and lye soap methods) Treatments. Today's FRAGILE exterior building materials such as roof shingles, PVC roof membrane, vinyl, Dryvit, stucco, and EIFS require Zero Pressure Cleaning to preserve their longevity. 5) The fifth question intelligent homeowners ask a roof cleaning service is, "How long have you been in the roof cleaning business?" A roof cleaning service that has been in business for a considerable period (7 years or more) is a reassuring sign. It suggests that if they offer a re-treatment warranty, they are more likely to be in business to honor it, providing homeowners with peace of mind. A few signs of a "fly-by-night" roof cleaner are no state license, no BBB accreditation, one-price-fits-all online quotes, bait-and-switch prices, bait-and-switch ads, "I can beat anybody's price," "we do what they do, we are just cheaper." When a homeowner asks about State license and insurance, they mention that we do not have to be State licensed and fully insured, or they change the subjects to 5-star reviews, fair price, bleach, environment friendly, low-pressure, soft washing, #1, top, on and on and on. 6) The sixth question cautious homeowners ask a roof cleaning service is, "Does your roof cleaning service require you to walk on my roof?" Unfortunately, since most property owners have neglected their roofs, attempting to walk on property owners' sloped, slippery algae, mold, moss, and lichen-infested roofs can be highly hazardous and costly. 7) The seventh question environmental concern homeowners ask a roof cleaning service is, "Do you capture and contain the roof cleaning waste to protect the storm drains and the environment?" No matter which product or products a roof cleaning company uses, the roof cleaning runoff (waste) should be captured and removed from the property during the cleaning process. 8) The eighth question should go without saying: "Does your company offer on-site inspections?" Pressure washing services provide online roof cleaning estimates. Professional roof cleaning companies provide on-site inspections before giving a quote. How Much Does Roof Cleaning Cost? The bottom line: In the roof cleaning industry, a fully licensed, fully insured, no-pressure washing professional roof cleaning company comes with a higher cost than pressure washing services.

Virginia State License • Workers Compensation Insurance • Employers Liability Insurance • General Liability Insurance Roof Cleaning Services are Not the Same.  Roof algae, mold, moss, and lichen can decrease a roof's life. Also, outdated roof cleaning methods can decrease the lifespan of roof shingles. Unfortunately, most property owners call concerning their roof algae, mold, moss, and lichen problems long after the infestation has heavily infested most of their roof. At this stage of growth, if the roof infestation is removed or cleaned incorrectly, the process can rapidly decrease the remaining life of the roof shingles. Roof pressure washing services use terms such as "gentle as rain," "shingle safe," "approved for roof shingles," "soft washing," and "low-pressure" to describe their roof cleaning methods. These roof cleaning methods merely consist of lowering and raising pressure to wash or remove visible stains from the roof. The rooted growth of algae, mold, moss, and lichen is between the roof shingle granules. Removing the visible stains with pressure can rip or pull up the rooted algae, mold, moss, lichen, and shingle granules. Low-pressure washing has its place; however, it is not on a roof.

Is roof cleaning a good idea? • DIY roof cleaning is NOT a good idea! • Roof pressure washing (high or low) is NOT a good idea! • A new roof is highly costly! Watching a roof deteriorate is not a good idea! • Insurance Companies are now issuing "Cancellation Notices" to property owners with algae, moss, and lichen-infested roofs. Watching a roof deteriorate is not a good idea! • Roof cleaning is a GREAT idea if one chooses the right roof cleaning service company. • RoofGlo's 100% Zero Pressure Roof Cleaning Chemical Treatments can help extend the life of roof shingles and PVC roof membranes. The rapidly growing horrific infestation on homeowners' and business owners' roofs have destroyed the curb appeal of most properties with asphalt roofs. Unfortunately, roof stains are labeled as a cosmetic issue and haphazardly misdiagnosed as jet fuel, tree sap, airplane waste, bad shingles, dirty roof, tree pollen, poor attic ventilation, shingle discoloration, or cheaply made roof shingles. As a result, some property owners ignore their expensive roof or watch it deteriorate until they have no option left but to replace it. The unattractive roof infestation or roof stains are not simply a cosmetic issue; they are the scabbard/protective covering formed by aggressive algae, called Gloeocapsa Magma. Gloeocapsa Magma can affect the property owner as follows: • Obviously, a Gloeocapsa Magma-infested roof makes a home or business look dirty, unattractive, unhealthy, and neglected! • Gloeocapsa Magma not only looks terrible, it can contribute to the growth of mold, moss, and lichen, which can also cause damage to the roof shingle as well as cause other problems throughout the structure. • Gloeocapsa Magma feeds on limestone, a component introduced into the shingle composition to add weight. Because Gloeocapsa Magma feeds on limestone, it can weaken the shingle, therefore, shortening the life of the roof shingle. • Insurance Companies are now issuing "Cancellation Notices" to property owners with algae, moss, and lichen-infested roofs. Many of our most recent customers were issued a "Cancellation Notice" from their Insurance Company to either replace the roof, have the roof properly cleaned, or face cancellation. Insurance Companies recognize the seriousness of algae, moss, and lichen-infested roof. • A roof replacement only gives the appearance of a Gloeocapsa Magma-free roof for several years. Because Gloeocapsa Magma is an airborne spore, it can attach itself to a new roof, causing visible unattractive roof stains in approximately three to five years. • Do not replace asphalt roof shingles prematurely. It can take up to 300 YEARS for asphalt roof shingles to decompose in a landfill. WARNING: Always ask to see (verify) a roof cleaning company's state license, workers compensation insurance, general liability insurance, and multiple before and after photos with addresses before agreeing to any work performed on the property. Simply choosing a company based on reviews and the lowest price can be extremely costly to the property owner. AUTHOR: RoofGlo™.
