Roof Cleaning in Franklin, Massachusetts

Roof Cleaning in Franklin means roofing built for the Massachusetts climate - the heat, the humidity, and the storms. The Massachusetts heat and the humidity feed the algae and the moss on the shaded slopes, and the tree debris coats the surface.

Signs Your Franklin Roof Needs Roof Cleaning

• Dark streaks on the north-facing slopes - the algae is forming in the shade
• Moss on the shaded areas - the humidity is feeding the growth
• Stains below the trees - the tree debris and the shade create the damp spots
• Dust buildup on the roof surface - the wind leaves the layer
• Granules in the gutters with the dirt - the roof is shedding the surface

Why Franklin Roofs Need Roof Cleaning

The humidity is the main cause. The damp air feeds the algae and the moss on the shaded slopes.

The shade is the second cause. The trees shade the roof and the sun never dries the surface.

How We Do Roof Cleaning in Franklin

1. Inspect the roof surface - check the shingles, the flashing, and the granules
2. Apply the cleaning solution - the low-pressure spray with the algae killer
3. Let the solution work - the dwell time breaks down the stains
4. Rinse with the low pressure - the soft wash removes the dirt without the damage
5. Treat the north slope - the extra treatment for the algae-prone areas

Preventing Problems in Franklin

• Trim the trees that shade the roof - the sun dries the roof and prevents the algae
• Clean the roof every 2-3 years - the humidity grows the moss faster
• Install the zinc strips on the north slope - the zinc prevents the algae growth
• Check the north-facing sections each spring - the early treatment stops the stains

In Franklin, the algae and the moss are the roof enemies. The humidity and the shade feed the growth and the moss holds the water against the shingles. The soft wash cleaning every few years keeps the roof looking new.
