Here’s the down-and-dirty scoop on cleaning and maintaining a metal roof.
A metal roof suits a log home like a top hat suits a magician. But there’s no hocus-pocus when it comes to keeping a metal roof in pristine condition. Like any roofing material (or any part of a home, for that matter) metal roofs benefit from regular cleaning and maintenance. Not only can dirt and debris collect on them, causing them to lose their luster, algae and moss can take hold, potentially damaging their factory-applied protective coating.
Fortunately for log home owners with a brand-new metal roof, you can keep the metal gleaming with a simple, light washing with a water hose twice a year (once in late spring to wash away the pollen and again in late fall to remove fallen leaves, acorns and other debris).
