Cedar Roof Cleaning Boston MA
Cedar is one of the best roofing materials around. Not only does it make for absolutely gorgeous shingles, but cedar is exceptionally durable and provides high resistance to storm damage. Additionally, cedar roofing is incredibly energy efficient, and helps save you money on cooling/ heating costs in addition to being an attractive addition to your home.
On average, cedar shingles last about ten years longer than other roofing materials like asphalt or slate. Cedar shingles or shakes stand up better to heavy storm weather like hurricanes or snowstorms, and are eco-friendly as well.
However, cedar roofs require regular maintenance and care if you want to get the most out of your investment. Since they are composed of an organic material, without regular cleaning, cedar roofs can develop moss, mildew, or mold growth, which can damage your roof and spread into the rest of your home if left unchecked. Cedar roofs are also prone to insect damage and moisture decay. Clearing out moss, dirt, etc. with a pressure washer will wear down your shingles and damage your roof, so it’s always best to hire a professional to ensure that your roof maintenance is done properly.
