Roof cleaning in Chowchilla, CA

Roofs take the worst of Chowchilla’s weather, yet nobody looks up until the neighbor’s roof suddenly looks new. The dark streaks you see on tile and shingle are usually algae feeding on the roofing material. Add settled farm dust, leaves and pollen, and the debris holds moisture against the surface after winter fog or one of the Valley’s rare rains. Shaded sections and areas under trees can grow moss and crusty lichen as well. It is not just a cosmetic problem, because over time all of it works on the roof itself. Left alone, the growth spreads and the roof ages faster than it should, and every summer of dust gives it a little more to hold onto.

We do not blast roofs. Pressure can crack concrete and clay tile and strip the granules off asphalt shingles, so we soft wash with a low-pressure application that kills the growth and rinses it away. Our crew works on concrete and clay tile as well as asphalt shingle, and we rinse the gutters and landscaping around the house when we finish. Valleys and the areas around vents collect debris, and we clear those out while we are up there. A clean roof also makes it easier to spot cracked tiles, lifted shingles or loose pieces before they turn into leaks. If we notice anything like that, we will point it out so you can have it looked at by a roofer.

Chowchilla homeowners usually call before listing the house or after a few dusty summers have darkened the roof. Fall, ahead of the rainy season, is a popular time, since dry roofs are easier and safer to work on. We are based in Fresno and Clovis, licensed and insured, and open 7 days, 5am to 10pm.
