If you're a homeowner in Buffalo or Western New York, roof cleaning might not be the first thing on your home maintenance checklist - but it should be. Between our harsh winters, humid summers, and seasonal debris, your roof endures a lot! Regular roof cleaning can protect it from premature aging and save you thousands in repairs or early replacement.
At Buffalo Window Washing, we specialize in soft wash roof cleaning that’s safe, effective, and proven to extend the life of your roof. Here's what you need to know.
If you see black streaks, moss, or green buildup on your roof, you're looking at more than just an eyesore. Common roof invaders in Buffalo include:
These organisms can hold moisture against your shingles, break down roofing materials, and lead to rot, leaks, and early deterioration.
Algae and moss actually eat away at your roofing materials. Algae feeds on the limestone filler in asphalt shingles, and moss keeps the surface damp - both shorten the lifespan of your roof. Cleaning removes these threats before they cause damage.
Leaves, dirt, and buildup prevent rain and snowmelt from draining properly, especially around flashing and valleys. Cleaning clears the way and prevents pooling, leaks, and ice dam formation.
A new roof can cost tens of thousands of dollars. Regular cleanings are a low-cost way to avoid premature roof replacement and keep small issues from becoming big ones.
Some manufacturers require periodic roof maintenance. Neglecting cleanings could actually void your warranty. Professional soft washing helps keep your roof - and your warranty - in good standing.
A clean roof makes your entire home look better, brighter, and well cared for, especially if you’re considering selling or just want to impress the neighbors.
High-pressure washing can damage shingles and force water underneath them - causing leaks or structural damage. That’s why we use a low-pressure soft wash system that gently removes dirt, algae, moss, and mildew without harming your roofing materials.
💡 Soft washing is the only method recommended by shingle manufacturers for safe and effective roof cleaning.
In Western New York, we recommend cleaning your roof every 1 to 3 years, depending on:
Spring and early fall are the best times to schedule your service before heavy rains or snow arrive.
