Roof washing and treatments are an important preventative maintenance process that offers numerous advantages. But for some reason many over-look or a unaware due to the degradation process happening over a long period of time.

Prevent Unplanned Failures
Roof cleaning and treatments, as a part of preventative maintenance, plays a crucial role in preventing unplanned failures. As roofs have a high tendency to collect debris such as dirt and leaves. Moisture gets trapped and provides for a perfect living environment for damaging microbes that feed off roofing materials. By keeping the roof clean and free of debris, water pooling and trapped moisture is prevented, and lifespans are extended.
Scheduled roof cleanings and treatments also allow for eyes on the roof. Providing opportunities for identifying early signs of damage. This allows for planning and budgeting for future repairs or replacements or taking immediate preventive actions preventing minor issues from escalating.
In short, preventative roof cleaning enhances durability, minimizes the need for costly repairs, and extends the roof’s longevity.
How Often Should I Wash My Roof?
In Hawaii, the frequency of soft washing a roof can vary depending on several factors, including (but not limited to) the physical location, nearby vegetation, and condition of the roof. However, as a general guideline, it is recommended to complete a maintenance cleaning every 6 to 12 months.
Hawaii’s tropical climate, with its high humidity and frequent rainfall, contributes to the growth of algae, moss, and other organic matter on rooftops.
Soft washing, which involves using low-pressure water and specialized cleaning solutions to remove these contaminants, helps maintain the roof’s appearance and prolong its lifespan.
Routine inspections can help determine when soft washing is needed. If you notice significant build-up of dirt, algae, or other debris on your roof, it’s advisable to schedule a soft wash sooner rather than later.

Got Questions? We've Got Answers
Why is Roof Cleaning Important?
Cleaning your roof is important for a couple of reasons. First, don’t you want your roof to look nice? Getting regular roof cleanings can keep your roof looking as good as new or the day you bought your home. Second, regular roof cleanings help prevent pesky invaders such as mold and algae from growing and causing damage to the surface.
How Often Should a Roof be Cleaned?
When providing regular maintenance to your roof, you should have it cleaned once a year. If your roof is newly installed, you don’t need to clean it as frequently. If you have had a brand new roof installed, it’s recommended that you get it cleaned no less than every 2 years.

The amount of time it takes to clean a roof depends on factors such as the size of your roof and what kind of condition it’s in. On average, it takes anywhere between 2 to 5 hours to clean a roof thoroughly. Times vary on a case-by-case basis, and a member of our team is happy to give you a more accurate estimate once they assess the situation.Â
