The Process of Cedar Roof Cleaning
Cedar Shake shingles make for a beautiful roof, but without a proper cleaning, even cedar shake shingles will fail long before their lifespan is used up. Grand Rapids, MI is home to many homes that have cedar shake shingles. Many of these homes in Grand Rapids have shake roofs that are 20-40 years old and have never had any cleaning done to them and now they are starting to show some wear and tear.
Although cedar is durable and requires little attention, a total lack of upkeep can seriously shorten the roofs’ life.
Proper maintenance and cleaning of a cedar roof consists of:
• Removing leaves and debris from the roof.
• Repairing damaged ridge cap and shingles.
• Soft-Washing and cleaning of the surface of the cedar shakes.
