Tips for Cleaning Roof Shingles

Over time, your roof shingles have the potential to become extremely dirty. From inclement weather to leaves and branches, your roof takes quite a bit of abuse.

It’s important to clean your roof every so often, as doing so can help increase its lifespan.

Here are some tips for cleaning roof shingles:

· Mix bleach and hot water

· Add the mixture to a garden sprayer

· Spray the cleaner on the roof, one section at a time, and let it sit for 10 minutes

· Scrub the section of the roof that has the cleaner on it

· Use a garden hose or pressure washer to rinse the cleaned area

Depending on how much dirt and debris has accumulated on your roof, it may be necessary to consult with a roofing contractor about the next steps. It’s possible that you’re better off opting for a new roof, as opposed to cleaning your old one.

If you come to find that your roof shingles need cleaned, follow the tips above or hire a professional to tackle this project on your behalf. Either way, your roof will look better when the job is complete.

"Excellent service. Any question I had was addressed in a friendly yet professional manner. I have used Pond before for replacement windows and siding and most recently for new roofing. I highly recommend them for their responsiveness and the high quality of their work."

"Pond Roofing was very responsive and knowledgeable about the condition of our roof. They delivered before the expected date and their work was impeccable. I cannot recommend working with Shanti enough."

- Erin M.

"Easy communication with tons of photos and excellent job! Pond Roofing even came back to replace the color of the shingles to our satisfaction. The property was in McLean and they made me look great since my landlord client was very impressed. The swag cookies to our tenants was an added bonus. :-) Thanks so much!"

Laura M.

"Very fast initial response time and great customer service. Repair work was done (by prearrangement) while we had to be out of town and it looks great now that we are back. We have used Pond before and would call them first if we need roofing work in the future. Thanks!"
