Here in Southwest Florida, your roof is subjected to a lot of wear and tear. From hurricane winds to the extreme heat of our summer sun, your roof is under attack at all times. Heat and humidity creates the perfect environment for mildew, mold and a bacteria called Gloeocapsa Magma.

Keeping your roof free from mold, mildew and bacteria is about more than simply having your home look clean. Most roofing surfaces are made with materials that are food for these organisms. This means, they cannot be simply blasted off the surface of your roof, because they’ve got tiny roots that eat into and open up tiny cracks in your shingles, tiles or other roofing materials. This deteriorates your roof’s surface quickly, and breaks down the shingles.

The black color of the bacteria also absorbs more heat, breaking them down further and heating up your home as well. This is why a clean roof is imperative to your home’s maintenance. Many home insurance companies demand to know you’ve maintained your roof before they will pay for a damage claim. Avoiding damage to your roof also prevents insect and animal invasions.

We take pride in knowing how to clean all kinds of roofing materials, regardless of the style of the roof. A roof should not be pressure cleaned with high pressure, especially if you have shingles. We use a soft wash cleaning solution to safely and effectively clean your roof without using a high pressure wash which can blow the particles off shingles, ruining them, and can etch tile roofs as well. It’s a gentle, but effective approach, that uses a solution that removes the grime, but won’t cause harm to your roof, home or the landscaping around your home. Soft washing has the ability to kill the pest from the root up, achieving a truly clean surface. We take pride in taking care of your roof, making it look great and also maintaining the integrity of the roofing materials.

We know roofs and roofing materials very well at Birdie’s, having been in the roofing business many years ago. When we clean your roof, we take great care not only in how we clean it, but also how we protect your home, and your landscape. We take care during the initial set up for cleaning the roof and we clean up after ourselves at the end. When we leave a job, the only way you’ll know we were there is by how clean your roof is.
