As a professional Roof Cleaning St. Louis company, it amazes me to see how many roof cleaners are starting to clean roofs in the St. Louis area. And what amazes me even more is they are tearing up roofs in the process when roof cleaning St. Louis. This article is going to discuss some of the myths about roof cleaning St. Louis company.
The First myth is using a pressure washer on a roof. There is NEVER a need to use a pressure washer on the roof. A lot of new companies have pictures of a guy up on a roof, blasting away at the shingles, removing the algae and removing the granules along with it. Now instead of saving you thousands of dollars in replacement cost, you will be out the high cost of replacement of your roof because some guy that claims he is a roof cleaning St. Louis company just tore up your shingles.
The Second myth is some roof cleaning St. Louis companies are telling homeowners they have to brush the shingles using a stiff bristled brush to remove the algae. The same thing happens here. When brushing the shingles, you are causing the granules to loosen from the shingles as well, causing the shingle to fail faster than what it needs to. So now, your out thousands again because the roof cleaning St. Louis company chose a ill effective way to clean your roof.
The third Myth is some roof cleaning St. Louis companies will tell you they will treat your roof, but then wait on the rain to wash everything off. Your paying for a roof cleaning right? You want it cleaned, not just treated then left. That would be like soaping up in the shower and waiting until it rains to wash the soap off. This is one of the most ridiculous things we hear as a professional roof cleaning St. Louis company. So many guys that claim they are a professional roof cleaning St. Louis company want to hurry up too fast and collect a check for a ½ job and get out of there. That is nonsense. Make sure your roof also gets rinsed off after the roof cleaning St. Louis detergent is put down. And make sure they are not using a pressure washer to rinse off your roof either.
In the above statement, there is one exception. There are lichens that sometimes attach themselves to the roof. When the roof cleaning solution is applied, it will kill these lichens, but they have roots that are attached to the shingles. It usually takes 4-6 weeks for these to fall off on their own without doing damage to the shingles.

Roof Cleaning St. Louis
You've probably noticed those stains on the north side of your roof. You've also probably noticed those stains are getting worse over time. You hate to replace your roof shingles because it is only a few years old, and would cost thousands of dollars to replace your roof.
Well, don't worry. The St. Louis roof stains you see on your roof can be cleaned off for a fraction of the cost of replacing your whole roof.
You see, what is on your roof is actually a fungus that is growing on your roof. This fungus is feeding on your shingles, and can cause damage to your shingles, resulting in replacement.
At Marler's, we have been cleaning roofs in the St. Louis area for three years now, cleaning St. Louis roofs has became our specialty. Many companies are offering roof cleaning St. Louis now, but dont understand how to go about cleaning a roof. Many companies we have talked to use a pressure washer, or a surface cleaner attachment to clean your roof. You should never use a pressure washer on your roof. Period. If a company tells you that regardless of what they do, you are going to have some granule loss from the shingles, we suggest you find a different company.
At Marler's we use a low pressure system designed to clean a roof safely and our methods are very effective. Basically, our system looks like a garden hose sprayer, putting our cleaning detergent down and cleaning your roof. We never use more pressure than a garden hose to safely clean your roof.
