Roof Cleaning & Roof Maintenance Information for Board Members, Community Managers, & Homeowners

Maintaining it properly not only saves money, but it’s also the more environmentally responsible thing to do.

Top Five Reasons to Get Your Roof Cleaned by a Professional

Without Proper Maintenance,
Roofs Will Not Function Properly

#5 - Professionals are Properly Licensed, Trained, & Insured to protect your property – They’re trained to work on roofs, inspect for potential problems (before they become major problems), and they don’t use high pressure or harsh chemicals that can damage your roof or landscaping.

#4 - Professional Roof Cleaning will keep your Roof Warranties intact – most people don’t realize it, but failure to maintain your roof properly will void most roof warranties.

Many Roofs are Replaced Prematurely,
but Proper Maintenance Can Avoid This

#3 - Professional Roof Cleaning allows water to shed properly – Leaf & debris buildup in your valleys and gutters prevents the roof from functioning the way the roof was designed.

#2 - Roof Cleaning prevents mold & fungus growth that can damage – especially moss & lichens.

And the # 1 reason to get Your Roof Cleaned by a Professional is:

#1 - Professional Roof Cleaning makes your roof look better and extends the life of your roof – increasing property values as well as the aesthetics of your home and community.

The Bottom Line is that Roof Cleaning can be dangerous and the damage that can be caused by doing it incorrectly can be difficult for a homeowner to see and expensive to fix. Like most major repair / replacement items people deal with, you can always try to do it yourself or you can find someone that will try to do it cheaply – but maintenance on your new car, your roof, your electrical or plumbing systems, etc. are not the best places to take chances in order to save a little money.

If your goal is to maintain the aesthetics of your property, maximize the life of the roof and minimize unnecessary problems – then hiring a Professional to do regular inspections and maintenance, which includes proper cleaning, is going to be your most cost-effective way to accomplish that.

Community Manager Interview Villaggio Owners Association, Lake Worth, FL

We recently had the pleasure of speaking with Lacy Kreamer, General Manager of Villaggio Owners Association in Lake Worth, Florida. Villaggio Owners Association is an upscale, 538 home Community in Lake Worth, Florida where the homes range in age from 7 to 10 years.

“Being Green” is a concern for the Community, but the Community also has a Long Range Planning Advisory Group and a Buildings Advisory Support Group that analyses the Community’s options to make sure that each new suggestion, initiative, program, or upgrade enhances their Residents’ enjoyment of the Community, aesthetics, prolongs the life of major assets, and minimizes overall maintenance and operating Costs.

Like most well-run Communities, the Management at Villaggio balances controlling costs with the long-term property values and meeting the needs and expectations of their Residents. So Villaggio has implemented a couple of programs as a Community that other Communities, Managers, and Board Members might want to take note of and we’ll highlight them.

From upgrading the Clubhouse HVAC, to implementing a "Top to Bottom" Cleaning & Maintenance Program, to changing out the Community's exterior lighting to LED's. We go into a little more detail on our website here:
