Roof Cleaning Middletown NJ, Monmouth County












This roof was cleaned on Friday, October 29. This was a garden variety cleaning with slight roof moss. The primary concern was gleocapsa magma which is appears as blask stains on roof. We used the non-pressure method. We do not power wash roofs.

Roof Cleaning Essex County NJ











This is a roof cleaning in Essex County N.J. Most of the treatment was for black mold on the roof. There was partial lichen also growing which you can see was treated in the after picture. This lichen will dry out and fall off in a few rains. This customer was not home. Out of courtesy we cleaned the rubber molding around the garage door. This cannot be pressure washed to come clean. Honestly, for the first few years of this business we had a hard time to figure out how to whiten it. Now we know. We just apply some roof cleaning juice and within seconds its white again.

How Does Roof Fungus Destroy a Shingle?




These are actual pics of a roof infested with lichen. Notice the granule loss under the lichen. Without granules the underlying membrane is now exposed to the elements. This shingle will dry and split prematurely. This is proof that roof cleaning is important to the structure.

Roof Cleaning in Milltown NJ

Here is a roof cleaned in Milltown NJ by order of New Jersey Manufacturers home Insurance Co. This validates the importants of keeping your roof clean. Mold was found on the sheathing of the roof in the attic. Cleaning the roof was a critical first step in removing the black mold problem. Dirty roof tops are a common problem in the S. Brunswick, E. Brunswick, Somerset and Franklin area. The only other option was to spend thousands on a roof replacement. The roof itself was in good shape and no need for replacement. Feel free to travel this blog for more roof cleaning and low pressure power washing projects.

Roof Cleaning in Watchung NJ


















This is our most recent project. This roof had alot of black algae as well as ample lichen. Lichen is real roof killer since it has such strong grip on the roofing granules. There is always the possibility of scars left where the lichen once was. Black stains are removed instantly. Lichen will come off after a few rains after it is treated. This roof was not pressure washed, power washed, scrubbed or scraped. We never stepped a single on this roof to clean it. There was far more sq. ft. then what was shown. The cost of cleaning this roof was 1/15 the cost of roof replacement.

Roof Cleaning in Colonia NJ






The first pic is the after pic. The bottom pic is how this roof looked before we started. We never stepped a foot on this roof to clean it. We didnt use a pressure washer or kill any landscape or small animals. This roof will get even cleaner in a few rains. There are tons of roof in Colonia, Scotch Plains, Clark and surrounding areas that have algae infestation. This type of algae feeds on the crushed limestone that is used as weight for the roofing shingle. She couldn't have been happier. She was glad to pay $385.00. It didn't cost to clean this roof, it paid.
