We specialize in the cleaning of roofs and offer the newest and only "approved" [ by the roofing association ] " NO PRESSURE " roof cleaning system.
For asphalt shingle roofs, this system is a must and can add years to your expensive roof's life!
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 "NO PRESSURE" 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 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.
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 on roofs-
"HIGH PRESSURE WASHING SYSTEMS FOR ALGAE REMOVAL SHOULD NOT BE USED"�

I have been using the "No Pressure" "Non pressure" "Soft Wash" roof cleaning method since around 1991 Prior to that, the only roof cleaning method I was aware of, was pressure washing and from 1978 until 1991 I pressure washed 100's and 100's of roofs. They came clean, but at the same time a % of the granules on the shingles came off with the black algae. On tile roofs, the glazing was dulled and on painted tile, the paint chipped off and sometimes it looked like it was snowing and in those cases, the minute that started, I showed this to the customer. The only solution was to clean the roof and have it repainted. On top of that, the cement holding the ridge caps in place [which is usually full of cracks in the 1st place] would loosen and pieces would fly off into space. I felt much better about what I had to offer homeowners when I started using the Non Pressure Cleaning method. Soft Washing these same type of roofs, using No Pressure caused no damage, came just as clean and took longer for the algae / mold / mildew to return. Now, I can take greater pride in what I can do for my customers! Chuck Bergman
