Roof Cleaning Connecticut



The Best Way To Clean A Wood Shake Roof 

When you want a roof that has great eye appeal your choice is wood shakes and shingles. When you install wood on your roof, you give it that unique and beautiful look that only wood can give. Wood grains are always different with no two shingles are ever being the same. There have been a few imitations in asphalt shingles that resemble wood shingles, however, the smooth quality of natural wood can never be duplicated. The one disadvantage to having wood shingles is that they can be the main food sources for termites. Wood shingles will also rot and accumulate scum from water. Wood shakes and shingles are also very high maintenance and require frequent cleanings of the roof, gutters and all surrounding areas that create dirt and debris on the roof. Manufacturers of wood shingles and shakes usually apply a treatment and include a factory warranty. After you have wood shingles installed, be sure to have them cleaned at least once a year by a professional Connecticut roof cleaner.  

When hiring a professional roof cleaner CT for wood shingles, be sure they use cleaning products that are gentle yet effectively clean wood roofs. Before the cleaning process roof cleaners will also check for any cracked or missing shingles. Most manufacturers of wood shingles recommend that the roof be power washed every year to open the pores in the wood shingles. Usually after the shingles are cleaned roof cleaners will apply a coat of wood preservative to prevent termite damage and to keep them water repellent.  

Before hiring a professional roof cleaner ask about their pressure washing methods particularly the type of spray that they use. Any roof cleaner experienced in cleaning wood shingles should always use a light spray to clean yet not damage the shingles. They will also know that after cleaning to use a topical treatment to protect the shingles. Any topical treatment for wood shingles should be water repellent, preserve the wood, and contain UV inhibitors to block out damaging sunlight. When inquiring about the sealants that are used never hire roof cleaners that use topical treatments that contain water sealants, unfortified linseed oil, diesel fuel, or crank case oil. These ingredients will trap water inside the roof shingles. Water runs underneath the shingles and shakes with no way of escaping. The results are curling shingles that are brittle and cracked. When the proper treatments are used the life of the wood shingles is preserved and your roof stays clean and clear.
