GUTTER CLEANING
HIGHLIGHTS
+ Temporary Filter Bag Installation
+ Roof Debris Removal
+ Downspout Testing
+ Gutter Debris Removal
+ Gutter & Downspout Flush
+ Final Gutter System Inspection
To us, when cleaning your gutters and downspouts, it is more than just picking out debris and giving them a rinse. We follow a standardized process for each job so we know they are done right.
Before we begin, we attach a filter bag to the end of every downspout to collect loose debris that flows with the water. This step ensures excess debris does not flow into your yard or landscaping. The cleaning process starts with a thorough debris removal from your roof using a leaf blower. This removes sticks, leaves, twigs and more so they don't wash down the gutters during the next rainfall. Next, we test each downspout to make sure they are operating correctly by running water throughout. Once we are confident all downspouts are functioning properly, we begin removing debris and washing out the gutter until they are free of debris. The last step involves one final flush of the entire gutter system to be sure they are operating as intended and water is flowing from the roof and being properly evacuated away from the house foundation.
Pro Tip: One of the number one causes of foundation cracking and ice dam buildup is improper water flow away from your home. A basic once-a-year gutter cleaning will significantly reduce the risk home damage.
ROOF SOFT WASHING
HIGHLIGHTS
+ Gutter Function Check
+ Temporary Filter Bag Installation
+ Roof Debris Removal
+ Soft Wash Application
+ Roof Rinse
Roof soft washing is one of the greatest ways to increase home curb appeal. Nothing draws attention to your property like removing the moss, mold, algae and lichen buildup that causes black streaks and unsightly growth to accumulate on your roof. We have built out a 5-step process for restoring your roof and increasing the life of the shingles without using the force of a pressure washer. Using high pressure on a roof shingle can cause damage to shingles. It can even sometimes remove the stone granule surface, designed to help reflect UV rays away from your roof, increasing its life span and helps with house temperature control.
Pro Tip: Did you know that most major roofing manufactures recommend regular thorough cleaning to extend the life of your shingles? For more info and links to manufacture recommendations, please see the FAQS section.
* In order to effectively clean a roof, we need to ensure that gutters are functioning properly to remove water and debris away from the property. If gutter functionality can not be verified by homeowner, we can schedule an on-site evaluation. Don't worry, if your gutters are not functioning properly, we can clean them while onsite with one of our Curated Solutions Packages.

SIDING SOFT WASHING
HIGHLIGHTS
+ Siding Debris Removal
+ Soft Wash Application
+ Siding Rinse
Many people think the only way to clean your siding is to start blasting it with a pressure washer, which can work in some instances, but also runs the risk of damage. Similar to our roof washing process, we stick to our safest procedures and use our soft wash process to clean organic matter, dirt and pollen from your siding. We also pay close attention to landscaping, ensuring no damage is caused to plants, trees and shrubs.
In the event of stubborn buildup not removed by soft washing, we use slow and steady pressure washer cleaning process, slowly increasing pressure to avoid unnecessary damage. If there is an area that we are not comfortable working on, this will be clearly communicated to the homeowner.
