Types of Roofs We Service
We clean a variety of roof materials with care and attention to their unique needs. Each roof type requires specific methods to protect its surface and maintain its durability.
Asphalt Shingle Roofs
Asphalt shingles are common and require gentle cleaning to avoid damage. We use low-pressure washing combined with special cleaners to remove moss, algae, and dirt. This method stops shingles from lifting or cracking.
We inspect for loose or broken shingles before cleaning. Preventing buildup extends the roof’s life and keeps it looking good. Our team also treats areas prone to algae growth to reduce future problems.
Tile Roofs
Tile roofs are fragile, so we handle them with extra caution. We avoid high-pressure washing, which can crack or dislodge tiles. Instead, we apply safe cleaning solutions and use soft brushes to lift away dirt and stains.
We focus on removing mineral deposits, moss, and lichen that collect between tiles. Proper cleaning helps maintain the tiles’ protective coatings and prevents water damage.
Metal Roofs
Metal roofs need a thorough but careful wash to prevent rust and corrosion. We remove dirt, rust spots, and mildew using non-abrasive cleaners and soft washing techniques.
We check seams and fasteners to make sure the roof stays sealed after cleaning. Protecting metal roofs preserves their energy efficiency and structural strength.
Our Roof Cleaning Process
We focus on careful inspection, safe and effective cleaning methods, and protecting your home and the environment. Our goal is to clean your roof thoroughly while keeping your property safe and following eco-friendly practices.
Initial Roof Assessment
We start by inspecting your roof to find areas with dirt, moss, algae, or damage. This helps us choose the right cleaning approach.
During the inspection, we check the condition of shingles, tiles, gutters, and flashing. We also look for loose or broken parts that might need repair before cleaning.
We take pictures and notes to document the roof’s state. This ensures transparency and helps us track improvements.
Cleaning Methods and Equipment
We use soft washing techniques to remove dirt and growth without damaging your roof. This avoids high pressure that can harm shingles or tiles.
Our cleaning solutions are strong against mold and algae but safe for roofing materials. We apply them carefully, allowing time to break down grime.
Specialized equipment like low-pressure sprayers and brushes help us clean hard-to-reach areas without causing wear. We also rinse thoroughly to remove all residue.
Environmental Considerations
We use biodegradable and eco-friendly cleaning products. This prevents harm to plants and water around your home.
Our team carefully controls runoff to avoid affecting your garden or storm drains. We also collect and dispose of waste properly.
Protecting the environment is part of our service. We ensure that cleaning your roof doesn’t lead to pollution or risks for wildlife.
Roof Cleaning Safety Measures
Safety Protocols
We always use proper safety gear like harnesses and non-slip shoes. This prevents falls on steep or wet roofs. Our workers are trained in climbing and working safely at heights.
Before starting, we inspect the roof to check for weak spots or hazards. We also set up ladders securely and use safety ropes when needed.
We avoid working in bad weather, such as high winds or rain, since this increases the danger. Keeping a first aid kit ready is part of our routine.
Protecting Your Property
We take care to protect landscaping, gutters, and windows from debris or cleaning chemicals. We use gentle, roof-safe cleaners that won’t harm plants or siding.
Beforehand, we cover nearby bushes and valuables with tarps. We also clear the area of loose items to avoid damage during work.
Our team removes all waste and cleans up thoroughly after roof cleaning. This ensures your home looks as good as, or better than, before we arrived.
