Roof Cleaning

---

For roof cleaning, our company can follow a detailed and safe process to ensure the client’s roof is cleaned effectively while protecting the integrity of the roof. Here are the steps we take:

1. Initial Assessment

Site Visit or Inspection: Inspect the roof for moss, algae, debris, and the general condition of the shingles or tiles. Identify any potential issues such as damaged or loose tiles, overhanging trees, and sensitive areas like skylights. Take before photos aswell. 

Provide a Quote: Offer a detailed quote based on the roof's size, type of cleaning required (soft washing, pressure washing, etc.), and any necessary repairs.

2. Preparation

Gather Equipment: Secure tools such as ladders, safety harnesses, pressure washers (if applicable), soft wash systems, brooms, and cleaning solutions (biodegradable or eco-friendly if possible).

Safety Measures: Ensure the team follows proper safety procedures, such as using harnesses and securing ladders. Consider surrounding property protection like tarps to catch runoff from the roof.

Client Notifications: Inform the client of any noise or disturbances during the cleaning process, and ensure they’ve moved vehicles or outdoor items away from the cleaning zone.

3. Debris Removal

Manual Debris Cleaning: Start by removing large debris such as leaves, branches, and dirt from the roof with brooms or blowers. Ensure gutters are cleared to prevent clogging during the cleaning process.

Bag and Dispose of Debris: Collect and properly dispose of any debris removed from the roof.

4. Cleaning Process

Depending on the roof material and condition, choose the most appropriate cleaning method:

Soft Washing:

Apply Cleaning Solution: Use a soft washing system with low-pressure and apply a safe cleaning solution to kill algae, moss, or mold without damaging the roof. Biodegradable or non-toxic solutions are preferred to protect plants and landscaping.

Allow the Solution to Set: Let the solution sit for 15-30 minutes to penetrate and break down the buildup of dirt and organisms.

Rinse: Rinse the roof thoroughly using low-pressure water to avoid damaging shingles or tiles.

Pressure Washing (for specific roofs like metal or tile):

Use Low-Pressure Settings: If using a pressure washer, use a low-pressure setting to avoid damaging the roof material. Avoid pressure washing on shingle roofs to prevent granule loss.

Target Specific Areas: Focus on the heavily stained or moss-covered areas, but do so carefully to maintain the roof's integrity.

5. Inspect and Perform Minor Repairs

Check for Damage: Inspect for any loose or damaged shingles, tiles, or roofing materials that may have been hidden under debris.

Offer Minor Repairs: Provide repair services for any small issues such as loose shingles, flashing, or leaks that were uncovered during the cleaning process.

6. Final Rinse and Inspection

Final Roof Rinse: If necessary, do a final rinse of the roof to remove any remaining cleaning solution or residue.

Inspect Surrounding Area: Clean up any water runoff, debris, or overspray that may have affected the surrounding areas like windows, siding, or walkways.

7. Clean Up

Debris Disposal: Ensure all debris is collected and properly disposed of. Clean out the gutters and downspouts to prevent blockages caused by dislodged debris during the cleaning.

Property Check: Make sure the area around the home is clean, and that no tools, equipment, or mess is left behind.

8. Client Walkthrough and Review

Walkthrough with Client: If the client is present, walk them through the completed work. Point out any areas that required special attention or repairs. Take after photos aswell. 

Client Feedback: Gather feedback from the client to ensure they are satisfied with the service.

By following these steps, our company can provide a professional roof cleaning service that ensures client satisfaction while protecting the roof's longevity.
