Roof clean up and maintenance is essential to the longevity of your roof. We all know how brutal the winter months are in northern Illinois and southern Wisconsin, so now that it’s warming up, let’s talk about your roofing annual maintenance checklist!
Cleaning up your residential or commercial roof will save you money in the long run. After all, maintenance is less costly than a full replacement. There are plenty of clean up tasks you can do on your own, but commercial roofs should definitely have a maintenance program in place. Coleman’s Contractors offers cost-effective and personalized maintenance programs to help with the upkeep of your roof.
Let’s look at ways you can help maintain the integrity of your roof:
Clean your gutters
Throughout winter, your gutters collect all kinds of stuff like twigs, leaves, and dirt. Spring’s rain can cause your gutters to fill up which leads to leaks and other potential dangers to your roof. Check out your gutters for any rust or other damage. These are signs that your gutters need to be replaced.
Trim the surrounding trees
Trees that are very close to your building or house can cause a multitude of issues. Any fallen branches can potentially damage your roof and constantly clean up leaves.
Inspect your ceiling, not just the roof
While you definitely want to check out the exterior, your interior can point to signs of damage. Peeling paint, water stains, or odd odors might indicate there’s a roofing issue.

Thanks for mentioning that surrounding trees may cause damage to my roof so it’s important to clean them up. I didn’t know before that a roof also requires professional cleaning. I’ll be sure to keep this in mind and maybe hire a professional roof cleaner for my house in the future.
Thank you for sharing these tips. Well, I advise every house owner out there, please do not go for power washing while cleaning your roof because it can destroy your roof’s integrity as moisture can trap inside the structures. You can clean the dirt and algae with the help of Roof Protect/Cleaner as it is the best rooftop cleaner that I have encountered ever. It emulsifies pollutants and eliminates oil and other soils from the roofing membrane. It also contains mildewcides to remove algae and mold spores.
