IS ROOF CLEANING WORTH IT?

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.
