Roof Cleaning St. Louis Is Becoming More Popular

Across St. Louis, Roof Cleaning is becoming more popular everyday. Roof stains cause such an eyesore, and roof cleaning is the only way to properly cure this problem without the high cost of shingle replacement.

As a St. Louis homeowner, you might be wondering what causes roof stains, and why you need roof cleaning. The stains that you are seeing, typically on the northern side of your roof is algae that is feeding off of the limestone in your shingles. You may have first noticed the roof stains to cause a slight discoloration, but eventually it got worse. Before long, those roof stains will take over your entire roof.

The best way to take care of this problem is to have a professional roof cleaning St. Louis company like Marler's to come out and take a look at your roof. Professional roof cleaning companies never use high pressure to clean asphalt shingles because of the damage it will do to the shingle, then you, the homeowner, are out costly replacement for new shingles.

The best way is to use a low pressure cleaning method. Roof cleaning is a two man operation. While one technician is down on the ground, tending to the hoses and watering plants and shrubs, the other technician is on the roof applying the roof cleaning detergent. Once this detergent hits the algae, you will see those black stains turn brown. That is a good indication the algae is dead. Once the entire side of the roof has been coated, the technician that is on the roof will wait approximately ten minutes or so before rinsing the roof cleaning detergent and dead algae off the roof.

Some roof cleaning St. Louis companies will tell you there is no need to rinse. We do not believe that to be the case. The customer is paying for a clean roof. We take pride in rinsing the dead algae off the roof to give a nice, clean appearance instead of waiting on Mother Nature to wash away the dead algae.

Once the rinsing of the roof is completed, both technicians will ensure there is no trace of residue on your exterior surface from the roof cleaning. If there is, we will give that area of your exterior a rinsing before we leave. And for your comfort, you can ensure your plants and shrubs will be rinsed off one last time before the technicians leave the job site.

Roof stains do not need to take away from your curb appeal anymore. If you're thinking of selling your home, and you currently have roof stains, consider having a professional roof cleaning St. Louis Company to come in and take care of removing those roof stains for you before a potential buyer wants you to spend thousands of dollars replacing the roof. For a fraction of the cost you can have your roof looking new again.

And don't forget to inquire about having the entire exterior cleaned. Even siding, wood, and concrete can look new again with a professional exterior cleaning.
