3 Roof Cleaning Tips for Spring

You should never ignore your roof when spring cleaning. The roof is one of the most important areas of the home, and it needs to be in good repair if you want it to do its job this season properly.

Inspect Your Roof for Repairs

Spring is the perfect time to inspect your roof. As you clean, look for noticeable signs of damage. It isn’t uncommon for winter ice to break a few shingles or put a few new dents in the gutters. Colorado tends to get large layers of ice, so these sensitive roof components are always at risk. Take swift action to correct any noticeable signs of damage. This will help prevent leaks during the upcoming rainy season.

Use Specialized Cleaning Equipment

After you have made any necessary roof repairs in Colorado, you will need to eliminate all excess dirt. Pressure washing can be an easy way to clean your home’s exterior, as the water does most of the work for you. Be sure to read the instructions before use and adjust the settings to get all areas of the roof clean. Pay close attention to the spaces in between gutters, vents, and skylights, as these areas can often trap dirt, mold, and mildew – all of which can lead to serious roofing problems if left unaddressed.

Always Remove Debris

Sometimes, large tree branches or toys can get stuck on the roof, and we don’t see them until the snow begins to melt. Even if these objects are in a hard-to-reach spot, they need to be removed right away. The last thing you want is to have them cause damage to your clean roof! If you can’t get to the object safely, have a professional remove it. Always consider your safety and never touch objects that are leaning on electrical sources or that require you to stretch in an unsafe way.
