I’ve worked with Robert several times over the past 20 years. He and his crew are extremely professional and the work is high quality. Recently, although my roof doesn’t need cleaning at this time, I called Robert to get his advice on a good color for a new roof. He called me back in short order and offered advice. Although it didn’t make him any money, he looked out for one of his long term clients. He’s a class act. Thanks Robert.

Description of Work: Robert arrived on time and went to work! He did an amazing job on our roof! We had little moss trees and big black streaks on the roof and when he finished it looked like a new roof! Would definitely recommend him! He did all the work himself and I was very impressed with the whole process! Plus, Robert was a pleasure to work with throughout!

I was in the process of obtaining estimates for getting my house power washed and my roof cleaned, when decided to contact American Roof Brite. My roof is over twenty five years old and I was hesitant to have it cleaned for fear that it may do more harm than good to the roof. I also plan to replace the roof within the next five years or so and was debating whether to put the money into cleaning the roof. All of the companies I received estimates from were highly rated on Angie's List and other websites. I received a wide range of opinions regarding cleaning the roof. Every company had a different method of cleaning, so I was left with more questions than I had answers. I had also conducted a fair amount of research on my own regarding roof cleaning. I had seen American Roof Brite featured on NBC 12 and saw where they had been in the business the longest and used a specific system to clean roofs. Robert contacted me and set up a time to provide me with an estimate. He advised that I would not need to worry about taking off from work, as he would contact me when he arrived on site. I appreciated this gesture. After Robert looked at the roof he advised that they could clean it and make it look significantly better without causing any damage to the roof. I asked him for his honest opinion whether he would spend the money cleaning the roof, or save the money and put it towards a new roof at a later date. He advised that I would be better off saving the money and putting it towards a new roof. I was looking for an honest opinion throughout the entire process and I felt that Robert really cared about me as a person and the home in general. He could have easily made a sale on the cleaning, but I appreciated the fact that he gave me an honest assessment of the roof. Since American Roof Brite only cleans roofs and does not offer a power washing service for the rest of the home, Robert was also able to give me the name of another company to power wash my house. That company did an outstanding job power washing my house. Based on their professionalism, reputation, and ethics I would highly recommend American Roof Brite to anyone who would like to have their roof cleaned.

Robert was great. Weather prevented original scheduled dates, but he stayed in touch to provide service next possible date. Worked diligently in 95 degree heat to complete the job. Cleaned up area beautifully. Roof looks brand new.
Description of Work: Low pressure cleaned all fungus, spores and stains off roof. Treated roof with stain block to prevent regrowth.

See details above. The job went very well, Robert is a good communicator, and a hard worker. I'm satisfied that Robert was concerned not to blast the tar and granules out of the roof surface; but instead, he follows the idea that the roof should be gently cleaned in order to perserve it's structure and integrity. I think the price was fair given the service I received and the fact that roof work is potentially very dangerous.
Description of Work: I contacted Robert Sawyer, the owner of American RoofBrite in Richmond, and he came out to my building to give me an estimate. He gave me a thorough idea of what the condition of the roof was and why his product/service would be indicated for the job. He answered all of my questions and provided proof of his license and insurance. I was impressed by his knowledge and the fact that he recommended treating only the section of the roof that was having problems. He explained to me why it was not necessary to treat the other areas of the roof (that would just be a waste of money). He addressed my concerns with any chemicals that he was using and assurred me that they would not harm other areas of the building or my plants and grass. We set up a day and time for the service and discussed a rain date. Robert and his assistant Don came out to the building on time, set up their equipment and worked efficiently and professionally. Robert did not mind me watching the process and he pointed out what I should look for both while he was working and after he was finished. He gave me the appropriate paperwork and they cleaned up after themselves. I was impressed that Robert and Don did a thorough job and I feel that they included work that they probably normally do, but that I was unaware that they would include: They washed out and cleaned all of the gutters and practically all of the trim and windows in the areas that they were working.

We contacted three companies including American Roof Brite for quotes on the work. All three companies responded promptly. After reviewing the three companies proposals we selected American Roof Brite for the following reasons:1. The proprietor, Robert Sawyer, showed up promptly when he said he would, gave us a description of the work his company would perform, showed us his insurance coverage and contractor registration and projected a geniune interest in doing the work. 2. His company specilizes in cleaning roofs. 3. His company is well established and experienced in cleaning roofs. After we told Mr. Sawyer that he had the job they showed up when they said they would and did a great job in cleaning our roofs. We had installed two new fabric awnings over side entrances several months ago and were very concerned about having these stained or otherwise damaged by the roof cleaning operation. The contractor assured us that they would not be harmed by their work and they weren't. We are very happy with the work Mr. Sawyer's company performed . .Carol and Albert Turner
Description of Work: We were in need of having our badly stained roofs on our home and detached garage cleaned. Our asphalt shingles are about 21 years old and had become very badly stained with algae and mildew.

This is among one of the best companies I have ever used for this type of service. They did such a great job with it. They also do roof cleaning but that is much more expensive. I am not to sure exactly what I was charged for the pressure washing job but I know it was cheaper than the roof cleaning. The only thing with that is the roof will stay clean for many years. When pressure washing the house, they do not use Clorox, like most other companies do. The Clorox kills the birds and they are very cautious about that. They even move my bird house cautiously so that they do not hit it. This is a very accurate company who does very accurate work.
Description of Work: American Roof Bright pressure washed the sides of my four bedroom home.
