Professional Roof Cleaning Services For Whippany NJ

We do not use a pressure washer to clean roofs!  It's not about muscle.  It's about using the proper detergent with sterilizing factors.  Many roof staining organisms grow into the shingle.  To completely eliminate the problem we must kill these growth at the root system.

We've noticed so many stained roofs in Morris County.  Some companies offer pressure washing services to clean roofing shingles.  Power washing does not remove any root system embedded into the shingle.  This is why pressure washing not only doesn't solve the problem, it washes away large amounts of roofing granules and shortens the life of the roof.

Our detergent soaks in and kills the root system.  Similar to spraying a weed killer on a weed in a sidewalk.  The treated moss will die immediately but take several weeks to decompose and wash away with a few rains.  Since we thoroughly eliminate the growth we can give our 5 Year Spot-Free Guarantee to every full roof treatment.

4 Big House Cleaned on the Same Block. We Handled It!


I love jobs like this. With our whole crew on this job we had a ton of fun. This job was on the culdesac of Altier Rd in Brick NJ. The whole street had dirty home, but I guess you can't make some clean their house/roof. We can handle any Condo, HOA, public housing, government building, or any other multi-unit complex.

How to Properly Clean a Roof

The best way to clean anything is by following manufacturers suggestions. That is the method we use. If you go to the "Roof Cleaning" headline on the front page of http://www.thompsonpowerwashing.com/ you will see a link to the Asphault Roofing Manufacturers Association's bulletin stating the method to clean roofing shingles. In a nutshell they suggest using sodium hypochlorite, trisodium phosphate, and water. We take it a step beyond and add our own foaming agent that helps the cleaning agent cling to steeper roofs. They also state at the bottom NOT to pressure wash a roof. Pressure washing a roof can lead to long term damage. If you've ever cleaned out gutters you may have noticed large amounts of roofing granules. These granules become dislodged naturally by rain and weather. So imagine what even low pressure can do. Once the granules are removed the underlying membrane of the shingle becomes exposed to weather, and more importantly, UV. At this point the shingle will start to dry out, crack and split. Then its time to find a roofer. Chiching$$$
Thompson uses only NON-Pressure method of cleaning roofs. We were trained in seminars by veteran roof cleaners in Florida where roof cleaning is BIG business because of long hot and wet seasons.
