Frequently Asked Questions About Roof Cleaning

Q: Do you walk on my roof?

A: No, we prioritize the safety and integrity of your roof. Our team uses specialized equipment and techniques to perform pressure washing without the need to walk on your roof, ensuring the protection of your property.

Q: What are those black streaks on my roof?

A: The black streaks on your roof are often caused by the growth of algae, moss, or mold. These organic materials thrive in humid environments and can compromise the appearance and integrity of your roof. Our pressure washing services are designed to effectively remove these stains, restoring the cleanliness and curb appeal of your roof.

Q: Do algae, moss, and lichen damage my roof?

A: Yes, algae, moss, and lichen can cause damage to your roof over time. They trap moisture, leading to the deterioration of roofing materials. Our pressure washing services are tailored to eliminate these harmful elements, preventing long-term damage and preserving the longevity of your roof.

Q: Can a roof cleaning save me on energy cost?

A: Absolutely! A professional roof cleaning can help save on energy costs. By removing dirt, algae, and other contaminants, your roof reflects more sunlight, reducing heat absorption. This, in turn, enhances the energy efficiency of your home by maintaining a cooler temperature and potentially lowering your cooling expenses.

Q: How do you clean a roof?

A: We utilize advanced pressure washing techniques to clean roofs effectively. Our process involves using specialized equipment to apply a gentle yet powerful stream of water, removing dirt, algae, moss, and other contaminants without causing damage. This method ensures a thorough and safe cleaning, preserving the integrity and longevity of your roof.

Q: Do you use a pressure/power washer?

A: No. We would never recommend voiding your warranty! Using high pressure on roofing materials can easily cause damage and for this reason many roofing manufacturers will void the warranty if you use pressure to clean your roof. In fact; soft washing is recommended by ARMA (Asphalt Roofing Manufacturers Association).

Q: Can your solution hurt my plants?

A: No, our cleaning solution is carefully formulated to be plant-friendly. We take precautions to protect your landscaping during the pressure washing process, ensuring that our solutions are environmentally safe and won't harm your plants or greenery.

Q: Is there anything I should do to prepare for my roof cleaning?

A: Prior to your roof cleaning, we recommend securing any loose items around your property, such as patio furniture or decorations. Additionally, it's beneficial to trim overhanging branches to provide our team with safe and unobstructed access. Clearing the area helps us ensure a smooth and efficient roof cleaning process.

Q: So you use my water?

A: Yes, we use your water supply during the pressure washing process. However, rest assured that our equipment is designed to be water-efficient, minimizing usage while still delivering effective and high-quality cleaning results for your property.

Q: What happens if it is raining the day the work is scheduled?
