Top 3 Questions to Ask a Roof Cleaner

When it comes to maintaining the cleanliness and longevity of your roof, homeowners are often unsure of the necessary steps or the ideal professionals to hire. However, selecting the wrong roof cleaner can lead to detrimental consequences such as leaks, roof damage, and even potential liability for any injuries sustained by workers. To avoid these issues, it is essential to ask the following three questions when considering potential roof cleaners, ensuring that you make an informed decision.

#1 Are You Licensed and Insured?

Given that your roof serves as a protective shield for your home against various weather conditions, it is crucial to collaborate with licensed professionals who can guarantee high-quality work. Engaging an unlicensed roofer not only limits your options if they perform substandard or damaging work but also puts you at risk of receiving lower-quality results due to their lack of proper training.

Furthermore, reliable roof cleaners will have both workers’ compensation and liability insurance to safeguard their employees during the job. It is important to note that if a roof cleaner lacks insurance, you might become liable for any injuries incurred while the work is being conducted on your property.

2) What Cleaning Methods Do You Use?

Different types of roofs necessitate specific cleaning approaches. Therefore, employing the correct method to clean your particular roof is essential. If a roof cleaner’s initial instinct is to resort to pressure washing, it would be advisable to seek an alternative roof cleaner. Power washing not only has the potential to damage your asphalt roof but may also void its warranty. Although power washing might offer temporary aesthetic improvement, it merely covers up the underlying concerns. To address the core issue, such as moss growth, it is imperative to adopt a targeted solution.

3) Do You Provide a Work Guarantee?

Never engage with a roof cleaner who fails to stand behind their work. Reputable roof cleaners are confident in their abilities and offer guarantees, ensuring that any work you deem unsatisfactory is promptly rectified.
