When most homeowners think about fall maintenance, they imagine leaf cleanup and gutter care. But what often gets overlooked—until it becomes a serious issue—is the roof. And by the time the leaves start to fall, you may have already missed your window to prevent some costly problems. That’s why Kings of Pressure recommends scheduling your roof cleaning in August, while the weather is still warm and clear.
Clear Moss and Algae Before Leaves Hide the Problem
Late summer is prime time for moss, algae, and lichen. All that humidity from July creates the perfect conditions for growth—especially on shaded roofs. By August, you might already see green streaks or fuzzy patches creeping across your shingles. And once fall arrives, these growths get covered by leaves, trapping moisture and accelerating the damage.
By scheduling a professional roof cleaning now, you:
-
Expose and eliminate moss before it burrows in deeper.
-
Stop algae from staining your roof permanently.
-
Avoid having to remove layers of soggy leaf matter in colder weather.
Kings of Pressure uses soft-washing techniques that are safe for shingles but tough on organic growth. We’ll clean your roof thoroughly without risking damage.
Protect Your Shingles from Premature Aging
Shingles are made to last—but only if they’re properly cared for. When mold and algae settle in, they break down the surface of the shingles, weakening the material over time. This leads to:
-
Curling or cracking
-
Loss of granules
-
Shortened roof lifespan
Cleaning your roof in August extends the life of your shingles by removing the contaminants that accelerate aging. Think of it like brushing off the plaque before it becomes decay. It’s one of the simplest, smartest ways to protect your investment.
Reduce Risk of Water Intrusion During Fall Storms
We all know New England doesn’t ease gently into fall. Autumn storms can hit hard with wind, rain, and lots of debris. A dirty roof is more likely to retain moisture, get clogged in valleys or behind dormers, and even leak if it’s already weakened.
By getting a professional cleaning from Kings of Pressure in August, you reduce the chances of:
-
Water pooling in low spots
-
Hidden damage under moss
-
Clogs that back water up under shingles
Plus, our experienced team can spot early signs of trouble—like cracked shingles or blocked vents—before they turn into emergency repairs.
