“WAIT A MINUTE – I thought my roof was meant to last 30+ years?!”
Before and Afters...
your roof cleaning questions answered...
ISN'T MY ROOF SUPPOSED TO LAST ME LIKE 30+ YEARS?
Yes- if properly maintained. Algae, moss and lichen shorten the life of asphalt shingles and concrete and terracotta tiles, by trapping moisture and eating away at the surface. Chemical soft washing stops the damage, killing the organic growth and spores before damage gets too extensive and expensive!
WHAT ARE THOSE DARK STREAKS AND GREEN STUFF GROWING ON MY ROOF?
What your seeing is algae, moss and lichen.
They spread on airborne spores (the same ones responsible for allergies) and thrive in damp, shaded areas particularly on the North side of your roof (Where there is less direct sunlight).
That’s why, even without foliage on your roof. it can still be affected. Leading to damage if left untreated. Even if you’re home is newly built, it would benefit from a preventative Zinc treatment.
No roofing materials is meant to HOLD moisture. They are designed to REPEL water and keep the moisture out. Natural growth holds moisture against the roofs surface, causing the materials to weaken, rot and fail over time. leading to a compromised leaky roof.
Our roofs have no shelter, they are the shelter! Sadly, most people don’t think about their roof until they feel a drip on their head from inside their house. By then, you’ll have to look for a carpenter instead of us. Regular upkeep is smarter than costly repairs. Our roofs need love too! And we are here to give your roofs the attention & lovin it deserves!
CAN'T I JUST DO IT MYSELF?

HOW OFTEN SHOULD MY ROOF BE WASHED? HOW LONG DOES THE TREATMENT LAST?
A full soft wash is usually only needed every 3-5 years, if that.
However, the key is in the maintenance and that’s where our zinc post treatment comes in.

WHATS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN SOFT WASHING AND PRESSURE WASHING
SOFT WASHING uses a low-pressure system combined with cleaning solutions to kill mold, algae and mildew at the root. PRESSURE WASHING blasts away surface dirt with high pressure (leaving some spores) but actually getting rid of the unsightly appearance of a grimy roof.
DOES ROOF WASHING DAMAGE THE SHINGLES OR TILES?
