WHY SHOULD WE CLEAN OUR ROOF?

WHAT MOSS REALLY DOES TO ROOFS

Remember moss is rooted growing under shingles and lifting the wind strips
MOSS will eat into the roof surface causing damage loosing granules
MOSS creates pressure on tile and composition roofs and will lift and break roofing causing lose of roof life
Moss will take years off the roof life if not treated properly
If you see moss from the ground look up, time to clean the roof before MOSS spreads
MOSS grows year around and should be addressed annually
We can apply ECO FRIENDLY moss treatments to prevent moss growth yearly
Moss can grow so thick it makes water back dam up and possibly leak into the house

Do I need to be at home?

No, your duties as a home owner are to make sure all windows and doors are closed completely. All vehicles should be moved away from the house. Please be sure to advise us of any cars, boats, campers, or anything that you do not want to get wet. We walk the perimeter of the house and look for planter boxes furniture, tools and move them away. It helps to make the clean-up process more efficient. The more items out of the way, the easier clean up will be. Make sure to move vehicles out of the driveway as we have hoses running around the house and don’t want damage your vehicles. Please make payment arrangements as most jobs are payment upon completion

How often should I clean my roof?
With proper maintenance, such as keeping your roof free of debris, you should expect to repeat this process every three to five years. Routine gutter cleaning is recommended at least once a year. Debris adds heat and causes rot and decay as well as moss. Routine rinsing of your roof and watching for any loose or missing shakes will extend the life of your roof.
Be aware that wind storms around the Puget sound are notorious for blowing various materials off, so periodically walk around and visually inspect your roof for these items. We offer maintenance programs for moss and debris control for all types of roofs, decks, fences, and concrete surfaces.

IMPORTANT NOTE

We strongly recommend that you schedule any other projects such as window washing or house painting after the roof is cleaned and treated. We will rinse and our motto is “we never leave a mess!”

FAQ: What does Zinc powder do to composition roof and gutters?
BEWARE ZINC POWDER. Most people are not aware that the jug of zinc we buy at the box store is the number one killer of roofs and gutters. Zinc will break down the tar that holds the granular on the shingle, causing granular to become loose and fall off the shingle mat. Results in rapid roof life loss.

Also
Zinc will bleed into the aluminum gutters and create acid that will rust the gutters with a chemical reaction from the inside out.
