We specialize in the cleaning of roofs and offer the newest and only "approved roofing association  *NO PRESSURE* roof cleaning system. If you have an asphalt or fiberglass shingled roof DO NOT HAVE IT PRESSURE WASHED!
For asphalt shingle roofs, this system is a must and can add years to your expensive roof's life and will not void your roof warranty, like pressure washing it can!
Pressure cleaning a shingled roof removes a large percentage of the granules, that make up the surface and color of your roof.
Even tile roofs benefit from our Gentle Washing system, in that high pressure will send small pieces of tile and especially the cement holding your ridges in place, off into space!
Also, if you have a finish on your tile roof, such as a solid paint coat or a glazing, high pressure can peel the paint or dull the glazing.
Many Pressure Washers advertise "NO PRESSURE" but don't actually own the equipment. They simply use their pressure washing machine's chemical injector and end up using "SOME" pressure anyway and explaining [ if you see them do it ] that they turned the pressure way down. "You can not turn a pressure washer down enough to not blow the granules off your shingles"

Any pressure will remove much of your asphalt shingle granules!
Click below to go to the roofing manufacturers association and read for yourself it's simple clear statement about pressure-
"HIGH PRESSURE WASHING SYSTEMS FOR ALGAE REMOVAL SHOULD NOT BE USED" http://www.asphaltroofing.org/pdf/tb_217.pdf

Of course, we do have state of the art pressure washing equipment as well for houses, pool enclosures, decks, driveways etc.
In fact, with our many years of experience, we have found that a pressure washer that puts out a larger flow of water [5.6 GPM] and less actual pressure 2000 - 2500 psi, gets the job done better than a higher blasting pressure [3000 to 4000 lbs is common] and lower water flow [4 GPM] or less.
On all but roofing, pressure is needed, so we also have a 3500 psi and a 2500psi machine with us at all times to use as needed.

Another reason to hire us to clean your roof is-
You may see competitors who say they are "Plant Friendly"
WE TOP THAT! WE EITHER WATER CONSTANTLY [which is the best] OR COVER ALL OF YOUR PLANTS WITH TARPS, or some of each.
That's as "PLANT FRIENDLY" as it gets in this business!
Because this offers the maximum protection!
Then we also water plants too tall to cover and any areas we feel extra watering would benefit. Many of my competitors just rinse plants off as they go or when they finish. Often, this results in dead leaves a few days later, or dead plants.

My son has worked continuously with me since 1994 and is a licensed professional along with myself.

So, if you have a Black Algae on your Roof that needs removing, whether for:

#1. Health reasons-Those who suffer respiratory ailments are adversely affected by the airborne mold spores.
#2. To stop the deterioration of the roof-algae eats constantly.
#3. Aesthetics-many beautiful homes have their appearance spoiled by black, discolored roofs.
#4. Because your homeowners association requires it.

Give us a call!
You will be glad you did and your neighbors may compliment you!
