Algae Eradication (Roof Stain Removal) Cincinnati, OH

The owner of this home contacted us because they just got tired of looking at the stains on their roof next to their finely manicured landscaping & yard that they work so hard to maintain.  The owner is a contractor and knows the value of maintenance and professionalism.  He actually offered to pay us more than we even offered to clean it for!

The home measured  in at over 9,000 square feet.  We clean the largest roofs in the area but we also clean all the rest as well!  In two days last summer we cleaned a 75,000 sq ft house as well as a 7,000,000 sq ft house.  Where else can you get the same results and professionalism no matter what the job entails?

We approach every home the same.  This is because we follow a 50 point process that allows us to get consistent results because of our consistent processes.  Our RCIA certification ensures your roof cleaning will be performed properly within the warranty recommendation of the shingles manufacturer’s association.

This home took a little extra time because of its size, but in 1 day…..the results were amazing!

Roof to Curb Cleans Algae Resistant Shingles! Cincinnati, OH Roof Stain Eradication

The shingle manufacturer’s warranty generally extends about 10 years and that is about when we start to see the algae stains and moss begin to appear. 

This home’s shingles of course were about 10.5  years old.

When they called the shingle company, the rep told this homeowner, “They are algae resistant, not algae proof!”.  The algae and moss had taken over. To be fair to the shingle manufacturer, the home had quite a few trees and was positioned with dormers that created a lot of shade.

Our certified roof cleaning pro’s handled this job with our normal approach with the exception that we did some extra gutter cleaning.  We love when we we get the OK to give gutters extra cleaning because who wants a clean roof and dirty gutters?

As always, this homeowner was very pleased with the results!

Non-Pressure Shingle Cleaning After High-Pressure Washing Failed Within One Year

This homeowner paid a highly advertised roofing and home improvement company about a year ago to “clean” their algae stained shingles.  They promised no damage.

Unfortunately, they lied.

Why do people continue to hire others to damage their shingles?  You HAVE to eradicate the spores.   The Asphalt Roofing Manufacturer’s Association has specific guidelines when it comes to eradicating these spores and trusting just anyone is the wrong decision to make.

The homeowner first noticed a wand mark from the high pressure wand being too close to the shingles.  But it was the granule loss that made him more concerned.  He said to us, “You won’t believe how many shingle granules were in my gutters after they were here.”

That is bad enough, but it gets worse.  By high-pressure washing the shingles, all they did was move the spores that cause the black streaking.  Within one year, this is what had already come back on his roof, and the company obviously didn’t give warranties out.

THIS WON’T HAPPEN WHEN YOU CHOOSE ROOF TO CURB CLEANING PROS.

 

Please watch our no-pressure process video.  We not only clean the roof, we more importantly eradicate the cause.  We address the cause of the infestation so they won’t be back in a year.

We are certified by the RCIA, have insurance, workers compensation, offer free estimates, and a no hassle sales process.

Roof Moss Alert!! Cincinnati, OH Moss Growth is Increasing Problem for Home Owners!

Here at RTC we have seen some of the most infested roofs with moss then ever before!  It may be because of 2012′s record rainfall, but we don’t care why its growing and spreading like crazy, we just know that it doesn’t belong on your home!

Green roof moss is one of the most damaging roof growths we see.  It will cause irreversible damage to your shingles with a penetrating root system that typically starts under the edges and tips of the shingles with small green spots.  Often with moss you will see lichen as well.  Lichen looks like a penny sized blue/grey spots.

Moss removal is a slow process.  It starts with eradicating the moss, then it turns white.  The roots will remain once we are finished, and then we wait for Mother Nature to do her job and give us a hard rain.  Many times the location of the moss is a thriving location that doesn’t get very much sunlight, rain, or wind.  Moss removal can be a frustrating process and can many times need several treatments.

Moss and its roots will dislodge the shingles granules and when its removed the moss can bring some of the granules with it.  If that happens, it can reveal the shingles substrate, which is typically dark in nature.  This can appear to be roof algae, but its just your shingles binding.

 

When do you call the Pros at RTC to remove the moss and lichen?  At the very first sight of green growth on your roof!

 

Selling your Home in Cincinnati, OH? Lets Roof to Curb Cleaning Pros Give you some Curb Appeal!

This homeowner contacted us to clean his roof because because he was preparing his home for the Cincinnati MLS.  Being former Realtor’s, we know that curb appeal sells (<– PROOF IS THERE!). Our pro’s went to work removing the ugly “algae spore” stains and the heavy moss.  Moss has roots and is very damaging to shingles.

The internet is an 24/7 open house.  A buyers first point of contact is critical.  Viewers spend over 60% of their time on the photo’s, and the most important picture is the first one.  The roof makes up over 40% of your homes front elevation.  What does a ugly stained roof say to the viewer?  Roof cleaning costs about 90% less than a new one, and the shingle manufacturer’s recommend a no-pressure periodic cleaning to remove the sports that are the cause of the stains.

Recent research on the behavior of internet reports just how critical  it is to have a positive first impression with the first picture.    The first picture is called the “money shot”, and its viewed by 95% of the home buyers for over 20 seconds.  Without a great front elevation shot, the  battle is lost.  Over 40% of the viewers did not read the agents description details, 20% was spent on viewing the details of the home.  Viewer’s spent less than 10 seconds looking at interior shots of the home.

Is your home standing out for the wrong reasons on the internet?  Roof stains can be removed in a safe, cost-effective process that will return your homes shingles to their original appearance.

Roof to Curb can give you your roof back.  Call us today!

Bio-Film Eradication and Pressure Cleaning, Indian Hill/Cincinnati, OH

This homeowner contacted us from a referral by a satisfied RTC client.   Have we mentioned that we LOVE referrals?  We really should spend more time in the marketing department, but why waste time on that when our happy customers can tell everyone they know for us :) You all are awesome by the way!

The stone around this heavily wooded house that faces the North had a heavy build-up of green algae and mildew from lack of sun and airborne dirt.  We clean algae spores and dark stains with an eradication cleaning method that removes the cause of the green bio-film.

If you just pressure wash without eradicating the bio-film, all that you are accomplishing is moving the spores from one location to another.  We chemical clean for a total removal of the cause.  Roof to Curb Cleaning Pros removes the bio-film and the cause, we don’t just “move” the spores to other adjacent areas.Edit
