 Insurance Coverage Loss 

If you are a resident of Florida you know all about home owners insurance policy rates doubling if not tripling. Hurricanes are constantly hammering our homes or businesses and most providers just want out. Recent information going around is (unless you have a cash buyer) that if you are selling your home with a roof older than 12 years it has to be replaced by the seller before actually selling the home. Some insurance companies will discontinue your insurance policy simply because your roof has not shown preventative maintenance. Cleaning your roof could save you a lot of time and stress in the future. New roofs come with a roofing warranty. This is great to have in case of an accident or improper installation. Unfortunately, it does nothing to help you keep your roof clean. Most roofing warranties come with strict guidelines that to ensure your warranty is not void. 

Roofing companies will null your warranty due to damage done by high power pressure cleaning. It is crucial to qualify your roof cleaning company to make sure that your roof is properly cleaned without the risk of losing your warranty. This is a great reason why you should softwash your roof by a professional.
