Metal roofs are growing in popularity because they are low maintenance and last 50+ years. Metal roof maintenance is usually fairly minimal as long as the roof was installed following industry standards and best practices. With that said, the<\/span> Metal Roofing Alliance (MRA)<\/span><\/a> recommends that property owners take care of and clean their metal roofs regularly to ensure maximum performance. It isn\u2019t wise to install a metal roof and then forget about maintaining it. Regular metal roof cleaning is an important part of preserving and protecting your investment. After all, you\u2019re depending on that roof to provide your home or building with years of protection.<\/span><\/p>\n

Metal Roof Cleaning Tips<\/h2>\n

The best way to ensure the integrity of your metal roof and its accessories is to follow a maintenance schedule. How often you need to perform metal roof cleaning will mostly depend on the climate you live in. Also whether your roof is shaded by trees. In the Pacific Northwest, we do have a fairly mild climate. We experience a lot of rain and moisture, some freezing temperatures, and plenty of wind. When you add in tall trees that can drop debris onto your roof and block the sunshine, we recommend a roof cleaning about once every 12 months. Also with a general look over twice a year.<\/span><\/p>\n

Hiring an experienced roof maintenance service provider who can not only clean your metal roof efficiently but also identify any problems and take the necessary steps to correct them, is always the best way to ensure that the job is done right. Spending a few hundred dollars a year is well worth it. All to provide the peace of mind that your roof will perform optimally for years to come.<\/span><\/p>\n

In addition to cleaning your metal roof, it is important to clear your gutters and drains of leaves, sticks, and other debris. There tends to be a build-up over the fall and winter months. This is because debris can lead to clogging, which creates pooling water accumulation. In turn, standing water can cause premature corrosion on almost every type of metal roof material.<\/span><\/p>\n
