The Ins and Outs of Getting Your Roof Cleaned

How often do you actually think about your roof? So long as it’s doing it’s job, probably not all that much. However, this is a major oversight for most homeowners, because taking a few steps to ensure your roof stays in top condition is far easier than repairing any damage that occurs from neglect.

For this reason, it’s important to keep your roof clean. Not only will it add to the value and the aesthetics of your home, a clean roof is a higher quality roof, and taking the time to give it the best care you can will ensure your roof will keep you comfortably covered for years to come.

Why You Need To Take Roof Care Seriously

There’s no single reason why it’s important to perform regular maintenance on your roof, but the following reasons all taken together should be all the proof you need to take the cleanliness of your roof a little more seriously.

  • Protection From Humid Climates: Most Florida homes are no stranger to heat and humidity, and if your roof is shaded throughout the day by large trees, the odds are good that your roof is home to plenty of algae, mold and mildew that will weaken the structure over time.
  • Smarter Home Maintenance: According to experts, it’s important to wash your roof every two years or so, meaning that roof care should be part of your household maintenance routine. Consistent cleanings help prevent grime from grabbing a foothold, which keeps your shingles looking fresh and new.
  • Better For Your Health: You probably don’t realize it, but dirty roofs are a breeding ground for a host of nasty allergens like mold, pollen and mildew, meaning that your breathing troubles might be made worse because of the state of your roof. If you want to take the health of your family seriously, it’s a smart idea to get it regularly cleaned.

Should You Get Your Roof Pressure Washed?

By far, the easiest way to get your roof cleaned is to pressure wash it. However, before you go out calling the first roofing company you can find in the phone book, there are some things you should know about the risks involved with pressure washing.

Understanding the Risks

If you leave your roof cleaning to non-experts, it’s all too easy for your roof to come away damaged. Too harsh of water pressure can strip the paint or protective coating right off the roof, it can and break apart the protective coating that helps your roof reflect sunlight. Without the careful attention of an expert, it’s easy for the tiles or shingles on your roof to get damaged during pressure washing. For this reason, it’s absolutely essential to trust the well-being of your roof with an expert.

Reasonably Priced & Very Detailed

We have a three unit, two story condo building that needed an exterior painting job we awarded to FCI Painting. Their proposal was reasonably priced and very detailed. Richard Foden’s came to estimate the job and took the time to explain the process, answer questions and provide recommendations (that help us in our process). We received four proposals and FCI’s stood out making our decision straight forward. FCI crew was professional and the foreman ‘Eduardo’ exceptional. On a daily basis’s he communicated what to expect, what they would be achieving and the crews next steps. Crew was courteous and cleaned up the grounds every evening. We highly recommend FCI Painting company. Thanks

Incredible service.

Can’t Recommend FCI Painting enough

I can’t recommend FCI Painting enough! Owner Richard Foden runs one of the finest painting companies I’ve ever had the pleasure to work with. When my business moved into our new office, we started researching painters in Naples, FL and FCI came highly recommended. The commercial painters that Richard works with are prompt, thorough and professional. After working with them in a business setting, I’ll be certain to give Richard a call next time I’m in need of house painters as well.

Competitive & Fair

FCI Painting did an outstanding job for us and we are more than pleased with the results. We found the pricing to be competitive and fair. Our painter, Chris, was an expert craftsman, patched several areas of drywall that needed attention and helped us work through a problem we had with one of the colors we chose. We would definitely recommend FCI painting for anyone looking for a quality job at a fair price.
