Dark streaks and algae patches on a retail roof damage the professional appearance of a commercial shopping space more than you might think. On the other hand, shoppers are more willing to step inside a space with a noticeably clean roof, not to mention a clean storefront and parking lot. At Buckeye Softwash, we can help your retail space make the best impression, starting with commercial roof cleaning.
Here are three benefits that commercial roof cleaning offers retail spaces:
- Stops Shingle Damage from Bacteria: Black streaks on roofing materials are caused by a spread of bacteria called “Gloeocapsa magma.” This organism eats away at the limestone in roofing shingles and traps heat inside the structure. Commercial roof cleaning eliminates this organic growth at its root system, protecting the roof from early material failure.
- Improves Energy Savings and Curb Appeal: A dark, dirty roof absorbs excess solar heat, raising cooling costs during warm Ohio summers. Cleaning away thick grime restores reflective qualities to the roof surface. This means your retail space can maintain a crisp, welcoming image that draws customers through the front door.
- Extends Material Lifespan Without High Pressure High-pressure water blasting tears delicate commercial membranes and strips granule coatings from shingles. Our process applies low-pressure biodegradable solutions that sanitize the surface safely. Not only that but investing in commercial roof cleaning lasts four to six times longer than standard washing methods.
