I have received a few calls lately for Cedar Shake Roof Cleaning. I'm going to look at a job this Saturday in what looks like-according to bing maps a 8000sqft.+ roof. I know some clean using the normal roof mix and some use the three step process. I need to be as educated as possible with the pro's and con's of each. I'm very educated, equipped, and comfortable working on a roof this size (I've been a roofing mechanic for the last 20 years), however I lack the experience in the cleaning of wood.

All tips, tricks, secrets etc. are greatly appreciated. This job is in, what looks to be a very upscale neighborhood so I would definately like to get my foot in the door here. I would be interested in even working with a fellow company here on this project if anyone is interested. It's in the Bryn Mawr, Pa. area.

 Barry give me a call, I have done a number of them.

Barry - I realize your question is to Mike.  Allow me to chime in anyway?  A mild pressure rinse is needed in between.  500-1000 psi or so.  It's almost like chemically stripping a deck or a fence if you've ever done that.  Lots of labor involved so be sure to price it accordingly.
