Remove any loose debris, leaves, twigs, and branches that have accumulated on the Metal roofing types's surface, including icicles.
Edges: clean out your gutters, especially if you live in an area with many deciduous trees.(If you want to make this chore a little easier, we recommend installing gutter guards, at the very least in the areas where the most debris accumulates.)
Moss and mold: Although this is less common in hot and sunny Texas, if you notice moss and mold on your stone coated steel roofing shingles, you should clean it off with a soft brush and a mild cleaner.

The asphalt beneath begins to degrade as soon as those granules are gone under the influence of the sun's ultraviolet light, resulting in weak spots, cracks, and curling.
