Here are some roof cleaning questions we are asked frequently.

Question: Will Pressure Washing Damage my Roof?

A: When the wrong cleaning methods are used, the answer is yes. Inexperienced Roof Cleaning Tampa contractors can easily damage shingles by removing the shingle granules, which are there to provide color and reflect heat. Never allow a pressure washer to be used on your roof!

Question: Can asphalt roof shingles be cleaned without causing damage?

Answer: When only adhering to the low pressure methods recommended by the shingle manufacturers themselves. Asphalt Roofing Manufacturers Association, GAF, and Owens Corning have all suggested roof cleaning methods and solutions to clean roofs suffering from roof algae.

Question: What kind of solution will be used to clean my shingles?

The cleaning solution that is recommended by all manufacturer’s; ARMA, GAF, and Owens Corning is a bleach- based roof cleaner.

Question: Do lye based or sodium hydroxide based roof cleaning solutions work?

Answer: No, they do not. The shingle manufacturers do not recommend this type of roof cleaning solution. These dangerous chemicals only work when used with the force from a pressure washer. This will remove the granules from the shingle and require walking all over the roof.

Question: Do bleach based roof cleaning chemicals harm landscaping and plants?

Answer: Absolutley, you do not want just any company spraying bleach on your property. We insist you call for references for all estimates you recieve. Always get a second estimate.
