When should I have my roof professionally washed?
We recommend having your roof cleaned by a professional every 5 years. Unlike other pressure washing services, roof washing isnt a service that you need every season. Once we apply our softwash treatment to the shingles, the treatment goes to work for a long period of time. We don't use or recommend the use of high pressure to clean your roof. This can damage your roof and does not provide longevity to the clean, on top of this, using high pressure is often dangerous to shingles.
Is it expensive to have my roof washed?
We'll be upfront in saying that roof cleaning is our most expensive service due to the cost and risk involved with having your roof cleaned. Being in Centerville, many of the roofs in this beautiful city are large, steep and made with all types of materials such as asphalt, metal (becoming increasingly popular) and other materials such as copper.
Shingle roofs are the least expensive to clean, while copper and metal roofs can run in the 1000's. Typically, a roof can range from $600-$1500 depending on size, amount of mold growing, and pitch.
Do you only wash shingle roofs?
Although shingle roofs are the most common materials we soft wash, which in Centerville, asphalt is the main material on roofs in the city, we don't offer exclusivity to roof cleaning. We have experience in cleaning metal roofs and composite shingles as well. In fact, the process is the exact same in terms of cleaning. However the main difference is the ratios. Shingles require a strong mix, while composite shingles can be cleaned at a much lower strength, minimizing the effect our detergents can potentially cause on your landscape.
Will washing my roof cause damage to my plants and landscape?
It absolutely can and WILL if proper precaution isn't taken. In fact, most pressure washing companies in the dayton area don't offer roof cleaning on their list of services due to the risks, one of these risks being plant and landscape damage. Centerville has some beautiful landscape around it's properties, and its a priority of ours to keep it from damage! Our detergents are bio degradable and won't directly damage your landscape, but we have systems in place that control flow of detergent when being applied to the roof. (We bag downspouts, re direct water flow and have techs soak grass and plants while our team cleans the roof.) Simply put, as long as you are properly trained to clean a roof, property damage is no issue, as we take extreme procaution to protect your property before we begin cleaning.
