Summer will be here before we know it. Right now, homeowners are tackling their list of improvement projects that can be completed while also sheltering in place. And many are turning towards exterior maintenance projects that will improve their curb appeal and protect their homes, such as roof preservation and care. The Metal Roofing Alliance (MRA) has put together a list of recommendations for homeowners about proper metal roof cleaning.
Simple roof cleaning helps reduce damaging elements such as pollution, airborne dirt and organic material debris. While metal roofs are well-known for being easy to maintain, exceptionally long lasting and durable thanks to special coatings and finishes, the MRA recommends homeowners care for and clean their metal roofs regularly to ensure maximum performance. And the good news for homeowners who want to do this on their own is, unlike asphalt roofs which can be prone to moss, mildew and fungus and require harsh chemicals to clean, cleaning a quality metal roof is often as simple as using little more than plain water to effectively wash away dirt, dust and other debris.
It is important for DIY homeowners to pay attention to proper maintenance methods and avoid mistakes that could cause damage. The MRA pulled together the following guidance from their leading members for homeowners. Remember, always be sure to double-check the metal roofing manufacturer’s specific recommendations:
“Quality metal roofs are one of the easiest types to clean and care for, making them exceptionally low maintenance and reducing the cost of ownership for the long run,” said Renee Ramey, MRA executive director. “Give them a little care, and your metal roof will stay beautiful, fresh and protect your home for many decades.”
