Roof Cleaning Process - Eco Friendly
Elite Roof Cleaners., Missouri's foremost expert on proper shingle cleaning techniques, is here to rid the “Black Streaking” from your roof. Inaccurately identified as “roof mold,” these blue-green algae appear on roughly 80% of all homes in Missouri and may reduce your home’s curb appeal and also its overall value. Don’t replace your roof, we’ll clean it. In fact, an estimated 50% of all new residential roofs are installed not because they are leaking or worn out – but for aesthetic reasons only.
It is very important to have the utmost confidence when hiring a qualified roof cleaning contractor. The experts at Roof Cleaning Missouri/Kansas use the algae removal methods recommended by the Roof Cleaning Institute of America (RCIA). We also adhere to the “Soft Wash” roof cleaning process approved by the Asphalt Roofing Manufacturers Association (ARMA). We never use pressure washing equipment which would harm your shingles. Our algae eliminating chemicals do all of the work to remove the “Streaking” and discoloration from your roof and requires NO pressure washing or heavy rinsing. Leaving the chemicals on the roof creates a hostile environment for future algae growth. Each time it rains, a small amount of chemical is reactivated to give your roof a secondary cleaning and aids in disinfecting the mold and mildew embedded in the shingles even further. Your roof benefits with a longer lasting cleaning and overall appearance.
Environmentally Friendly
At Roof Cleaning Missouri we take special pride in keeping your home and property environmentally safe and secure. We follow the proper roof cleaning chemical standards set by the Asphalt Roof Manufacturers Association. Our cleaning chemicals are as safe as what you put down your household drains.
What You Should Know
Roof Washing is a completely different trade from pressure washing requiring different pumps, hoses, nozzles, chemicals, caution, knowledge, experience, skill, and insurance.
Pressure washing (power washing) is not recommended because it will remove a large amount of the ceramic coated granules from your shingles, which will void the warranty. Even low pressure will cause granule loss and shorten the life of your shingles. If you have ever cleaned your gutters you will notice granules in them just from the rainfall. Think what any additional pressure would do to your roof!
The price of cleaning your roof is approximately 1/10 of its overall replacement cost.
Remember,
“Roof cleaning does'nt cost "It Pays".
