| Why Is My Roof Dirty ? |
 |
What you see on your Tampa Roof is not dirt!
The blackness is actually mildew that lands as a spore, germinates and then grows using the roofing surface as a nutrient base. Green Mildew will always appear initially on the north side of your house and roof in Tampa. This is because moisture stays there longer and mildew needs three things to grow: moisture, heat and some sort of nutrient. The humid, rainy climate here in Tampa Florida is ideal for Green Mildew and Black Algae growth!
Other variables besides the direction your house faces are the type, grade and manufacturer of your roofing shingles or tiles, whether you have a pond or swimming pool nearby creating abundant moisture and hot/humid weather here in Tampa. Continuous warm humid weather in Tampa promotes mildew growth. Shade on your roof provided by nearby trees can promote mildew growth due to increased moisture, as well as leaves and pine needles that sit on your asphalt shingle or barrel tile roof for extended periods of time.

Why Should I Clean My Dirty Roof ? |
|
| Besides being an eyesore, a mildew-covered roof in Tampa can actually be unhealthy to some people with allergies. Over time mildew and black roof algae can breakdown the shingles or tiles and dramatically shorten the life of your roof. A mildew-covered roof also keeps under roof temperatures a lot higher by prevented the reflective capabilities of the shingle granules or tiles from doing their job. These higher temperatures make your air conditioner work a lot harder and increase your electric bills from Tampa Electric, sometimes as much as several hundred dollars a year. Finally, homeowners associations here in Tampa Florida are becoming more abundant, primarily to maintain and enhance value of the individual homes and neighborhoods. The main reason homeowners want their roofs cleaned in Tampa is to keep them looking clean and new. | |

WOW! That's amazing...I`m just speachless
Once your roof has been installed it is recommended to have your roof looked at by a professional every year.What guidelines could you recommend?
Whrn I clean roofs in Memphis, TN, I always let people know about the harmful effects algae has on the shingle itself. I'm also a roofer in Memphis, TN, so, I have an additional insight into ways to protect your roof. Your roof is your homes first line of defense.
LOL, when I leave Tampa to go up to Memphis, Roof Cleaning is the last thing on my mind:)
I really like that BBQ you guys make up there! Tampa has a few BBQ places that are decent, but at some of these the price for a rack of Ribs is through the roof!

It's amazing how many people don't know how bad mold can be for them. And that when it starts is the best time to get rid of it, not to leave it for years to come. Just makes the job harder.
Great article.
Interesting. Do you have average pricing options?
