Barrel Tiled Roofs

---

Barrel tile roofs are prone to algae, moss, and mold growth, especially in humid climates like Florida. These organisms can degrade the tiles over time and cause discoloration. 

Regular cleaning helps remove debris, dirt, and harmful organisms that can weaken the tiles or their underlayment, prolonging the lifespan of your roof. 

 A clean roof enhances the curb appeal of your home, which can positively affect property value if you're planning to sell or refinance. 

Dirty tiles can absorb more heat, making your home less energy-efficient. A clean roof reflects sunlight better, reducing cooling costs. 

Debris like leaves and dirt can block gutters and downspouts, leading to water pooling and potential structural damage. Cleaning your roof helps maintain proper drainage. 

Neglecting roof cleaning can lead to issues such as cracked tiles or leaks, which are costlier to repair than regular maintenance. 

If you live in a neighborhood with a homeowners' association, you may be required to keep your roof clean to maintain the community's aesthetic standards.  Cleaning should be done carefully to avoid damaging the tiles. Hiring a professional roof cleaner with experience in barrel tile roofing is often the best choice. 

As an example, for a 2,000 square foot roof, the total replacement cost would range from $30,000 to $50,000.
