-
Yes we are licensed with the Construction Contractors Board, and are also bonded and insured.
-
No. High pressure strips granules from composition shingles and can force water under them. We brush off the heavy moss, treat what remains, and wash at low pressure.
-
We brush off the large moss growth, clean the gutters and downspouts, then apply a treatment that kills remaining moss at the root. Loose moss sheds with weather over the following weeks. A preventative treatment after the cleaning helps keep it from coming back.
-
After a proper cleaning and preventative treatment, moss should stay off for about two years. Shade and heavy tree cover can shorten that.
-
Yes. Gutters and downspouts are cleaned as part of the roof job.
-
Yes. Debris still collects on and under covers. If the covers have failed, we will say so and can remove them as an add-on. We do not reinstall covers after a full removal. If they are working, we clear the top and open the sections over the downspouts.
-
Once or twice a year for most homes. Properties under heavy trees often need two cleanings.
-
Not at high pressure. Siding is soft-washed: a cleaning solution at low pressure so paint, lap siding, and trim are not damaged. High pressure is reserved for concrete, pavers, and similar hard surfaces.
-
We collect payment after the job is complete. We accept check, cash, ACH, and cards. Cards include a 3% processing fee.
