We Make it Easy, Every Step of the Way
Roof Washing
Roof washing is a crucial aspect of home maintenance that is often overlooked. Your roof serves as the primary defense for your home against harsh weather conditions like snow, ice, hail rain, sleet, leaves, acorns, and tree branches, ensuring the safety of your family.
Gentle Yet Effective
Many may not realize that our process does not involve any pressure washing. Instead, we utilize a concentrated algaecide solution that adheres to the surface of shingles, steel, slate or shake, effectively dissolving algae and restoring the roof to a nearly brand-new appearance. This gentle method applies the solution with less force than a garden hose, with a fan pattern similar to that of a paint sprayer.
Value in Longevity
One significant benefit of this process is that the roof typically remains clean for 5 to 10 years, depending the surrounding environment. Additionally, considering the skyrocketing costs of roof replacement, which have tripled since the 1990s, maintaining your existing roof is a wise investment. Many roofs are unnecessarily replaced due to unsightly black stains, if shingles are intact and not leaking, they can last a lifetime with proper care. Pricing for roof washing is estimated by the square foot and usually starts around $150
Roof Sealing
Sealing your roof provides substantial long-term benefits for your home and your wallet!
**The Problem**
Shingles gradually degrade over time due to two primary reasons:
1. Sunlight causes granule loss by heating up the tar, allowing the granules to detach and fall, leaving the shingle base exposed to cracking and moisture penetration.
2. Algae and lichen feed on the minerals in the gran, leading to their breakdown. When granules deteriorate, the shingle base becomes susceptible to sunlight and heat, resulting in cracks and moisture penetration.
**The Solution!**
We apply a specialized sealer designed specifically for shingle roofs that infiltrates the granules of the shingle, filling every pore and completely sealing it against moisture and organic growth while securing the granules in place. This technique is effective for both new and old roofs, and it’s best to seal a shingle roof soon after installation to prevent algae and granule loss especially since this is the stage where shingles loose most of their granules in the shortest period of time.
Our product comes with a manufacturer guarantee of five years between applications. Just like undercoating a car for winter, regular roof sealing is crucial for extending the life of your shingle roof. The process is simple and efficient requiring only a clean, dry roof, and takes about an hour with pricing based on square footage. Quick, easy, and cost-effective, roof sealing your roof looking and performing like new for years to come!

Roofs We Have Washed
The Cedar Estate
The slate roof had accumulated years of mold andichen on its surface. After the cleaning, it appeared as if it had just been freshly installed.
Franklin Bungalow
When the homeowner bought the house, the shingles had about 25 years of black algae growth on the shingles. By removing the algae, they gained an additional 10 years of life for the shingles!
Patterson Heights
These homeowners cherished the classic style of their shingles and were reluctant to replace them. We gave them a thorough wash, and now they look brand new with a significantly extended lifespan.
