      Roof Cleaning vs. Roof Rejuvenation: What’s Best for Your Roof? 🧼🏡

      Compare Two Smart Ways to Extend Roof Life Without Replacement

      Overview

      If your roof looks aged, discolored, or covered in debris, you may be wondering whether it needs a simple cleaning or a full rejuvenation. At Liberty Roofing Pros, we offer both services—each designed to extend your roof’s lifespan and improve its appearance without the need for a full replacement. Let’s break down the differences, benefits, and when to choose one over the other.

      1. What is Roof Cleaning? 🧽

      Roof cleaning is a cosmetic and preventative service that removes organic growth like algae, moss, lichen, and dirt from your roofing surface. It restores the look of your shingles or metal panels and helps prevent long-term damage.

      ✅ Benefits of Roof Cleaning:

      • Removes dark streaks and stains (typically algae or mold)

      • Instantly improves curb appeal

      • Prevents moss and lichen from breaking down materials

      • Reduces decay and extends the life of your roof

      💰 Pricing:

      • Shingle Roofs: Starts at $40/sq for roofs under 8/12 pitch

      • Metal Roofs: Starts at $60/sq

      • 8/12 and Steeper Roofs: Add 20%

      • High/Cut-Up Roofs: May be up to 50% more

      2. What is Roof Rejuvenation? 🛠️

      Roof rejuvenation is a restorative treatment for asphalt shingles. It involves applying a bio-based oil that restores flexibility, waterproofing, and UV resistance to aging shingles.

      ✅ Benefits of Roof Rejuvenation:

      • Extends roof life by 5–15 years

      • Restores lost oils in dried-out shingles

      • Improves granule adhesion and water resistance

      • Significantly less expensive than replacement

      💡 Ideal for asphalt roofs that are 10+ years old but structurally sound.

      💰 Pricing:

      • Starts at $80/sq for roofs under 8/12 pitch

      • 8/12 and Steeper Roofs: Add 50%

      • Includes inspection and cleaning prep work
