  • Actually it has been proven 100% that bleach solutions do NOT make shingles brittle or lose gravel. However even a garden hose WILL remove granules. We are also recommended by Tamko and GAF and do work regularly for them. Also only 2 people are needed with our system which is required by Osha regulation anyways. With that being said, you guys do great work and I hope we can colaborate on some projects in the future.

  • s this method approved by shingle manufacturs

  • is this method approve by roof manufactors???????? if so where can I find it

  • We are reccomended by Tamko and GAF for warranty work on stain gaurd shingles.

    We had to submit our process to them for approval.

  • @MrThekid81

    Bleach, Bleach ,Bleach all you do is Bleach.

    Bleach oxidizes hence the name bleach.

    Say it man, I clean with household bleach and jab my customers., Every time the algae returns I use more bleach. I have killed plants lots of plants.

    I pay big bucks for guys smarter than me to tell me what to think and do. Smarter cause they got money and I don't yet. I want to be like them. They like Me

    Close right?.

    Sounds like a A George Staight song, something about ocean front property

  • @MrThekid81 And where is written that 12.5% bleach is the accepted proceedure and who acknowledges that peice of paper you boast. What State or Local government body?

    Oh yea it's reconignized by a website with no phone number like ARMA.

    Shall I post the links?

  • Ok...you know what I know...there are basically ONLY two ways to do this job; 1) pressure (which ruins the shingle) or chemicals (which ruins other things like plants). I have yet to find a COMPLETELY safe chem...they are all a sodium hydroxide, sodium hypochlorite base, or other caustic chem. So what is it that you know that we don't. By the way...I run my LLC hundreds of miles away from you - New England - so there's no competition....

  • I feel bleach has more negatives. In our hot climate it makes the shingles more brittle and they loose gravel. You need more poeple...The main thing is not to wash it more than once. We use a preventative every 30 to 36 months to keep them clean.

  • Comment removed

  • That is just as bad as pressure cleaning. You won't kill plants with chemical cleaning if you know what your doing, 11 years in business using a bleach based solution and still no plant damages or any damages at all. 1288 satisfied customers and 414 commercial projects and an average of $178,000 net profit a year for myself

  • For every 1 of you that is doing it right. There are 20 morons doing it wrong.

    We do not even have to consider landscaping. No man on the ground, no wetting plants. Our work last 3 years and at that point we only spray a preventative.

    The pressure we use is equivalent to a garden hose. I tried your way, ever try mine?

    To me its like picking between a truck or a horse. I prefer the truck.

    Less Sh*t.

  • I will never try your way, my way has worked too good for too long. And yes I agree except here in Florida for every 1 doing it right there are 200 that do it wrong.

  • @texasroof is this approved by shingle manufators

  • I like the ball valve as apposed to the trigger squeeze type. Where can I buy it and Is it a high presure ball valve.

    Most likly a stupid Question ?

  • All the pressure washer supplies carry them. get the smallest handle you can so it won't hang up on things.

  • 5 stars from me in NC

  • i'll bet you wont get that answer

  • wow your the man You knew he would not tell and he didnt

  • I'm not in your market but was wondering what product you use to treat the roof before washing.

    Thanks!
