Roof Cleaning
Roof Cleaning in Estero, FL
Estero is tile roof country, and tile valleys hold growth that the HOA can see from the street.
Walk through almost any Estero community and you are looking at concrete and clay tile roofs. Tile is durable, but its texture and valleys hold algae and dirt, and a dark, streaked roof stands out on a street where the association expects every roof to match.
Tile can crack under foot or under pressure, so we clean it with a solution at low pressure and let the solution do the work. The landscaping, lanai and pool below are soaked first and rinsed after.

How we do it
The soft wash process
- Step 1
Protect the ground
Plants, turf and pool areas below the roof line are soaked with water first and rinsed again after.
- Step 2
Low pressure application
The cleaning solution goes on at low pressure and is given time to work on the algae.
- Step 3
Gentle rinse
The roof is rinsed at low pressure and the walls, windows and landscaping below are rinsed down.
A pressure washer on a roof strips the granules off shingles and can crack tile. We never do it. Low pressure and the right solution clean the roof, and the ground around the house is protected before anything goes on the roof.
