Think Twice About Hiring A St. Charles Pressure Washing Company.

2011-03-09T14:43:00.003-06:00

There are many new companies starting this year offering pressure washing. Many of these new companies are brand new and know hardly nothing about pressure washing. But on their websites, they claim they are the "premier house washing company for St. Charles and St. Louis." They even have several before and after pictures on their websites, but since they just started, is that actual pictures of their work?

Deck Staining St. Louis Company Shares A Few Tips About Deck Staining

2010-01-23T23:44:00.001-06:00

Deck staining can be a real nightmare sometimes. Staining decks is tedious, takes a lot of time, and sometimes when we are in a hurry, it can create a mess that is unfixable. Here a few pointers when it comes to deck staining St. Louis.
First, we know you are in a hurry, but leave the sprayer at the hardware store. Buy pads, they come in various sizes. We use the two by three pads for spindles and the nine inch pads for the floors. You will find out in time not only will they do a better job than spraying, they create a lot less mess and headache at the end of the day.
Second, have plenty of towels with you while you are deck staining, and a small can of mineral spirits. You can use the towel and mineral spirits to get the stain off of siding right away. Don’t wait until tomorrow to try and remove deck stain. You’ll have a big problem.
Third, make sure any areas underneath the deck are protected. With concrete, we like to take the water hose around and wet down the entire concrete, then lay a tarp over it. Oil doesn’t mix well with water, and you will stop the deck stain from soaking into the concrete.
Fourth, always go with the grain of the wood for a good looking deck stain finish. And keep your pad moist. Don’t try and drain every drop of deck stain out of it. The more you keep the pad moist, the better it will hold up for you while you are staining your deck.

Three Myths About Roof Cleaning St. Louis

2009-04-21T06:40:00.002-05:00

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.

Many homewowners let their decks get into this kind of condition before calling a St. Louis Deck Restoration Company.

Instant Curb Appeal by Pressure Washing St.Louis

2008-03-25T06:08:00.002-05:00

In the St. Louis real estate market, many homes are sitting vacant due to our economy. And the longer your home stays on the market that means more money out of your pocket each and every month.

Curb appeal can really make your home stand out from the rest. By pressure washing your home, you can really make it shine, and get a quicker sale and a better offer on it rather than leaving that nasty green mold and mildew all over it.

Another thing you can do is to have a good deck cleaning. Many future homeowners like to barbecue, enjoy the outdoors, and to host parties. Make it easy for your future homeowner and have your deck cleaned for them and this task out of the way.

Finally, if you have roof stains , you can have them professionally removed instead of spending thousands of dollars on a new roof. Many people looking for a home, the first thing they see is the roof when they drive up to a home. This could be the make or break part of the deal.

Don't bring out the pressure washer this year

2008-03-19T07:18:00.002-05:00

So you’ve been cooped up all winter, waiting to get outside to start some spring yard projects. While making a list, you may have noticed your concrete sidewalk or patio is just covered in mold and grime. You put it on your list to clean the sidewalk with your pressure washer as soon as the weather breaks.

Many people don’t realize pressure washing can be very dangerous. Just a few years ago, a woman was washing her sidewalk off, kicking some mud up on her leg. She thought she would just “wash it off”. Using the 3000 PSI machine and a 0 degree nozzle, she cut her leg and required medical attention.

Also, this time of year, many people use their pressure washers for House Washing. A homeowner will drag their ladder out, set it up, climb to the top and wash their house using pressure instead of the right detergents. It takes hours to do this; also it is very unsafe because of the kickback from the gun every time you squeeze the trigger. Please stay off the ladder.

Many homeowners will also decide to pressure wash decks . If not careful, you can make your deck look like Zorro came over for your last barbecue.

Leave it to a professional like Marler’s Pressure Washing. If we do not service your area, we have contacts with professional contractors all across the United States that can service your needs.
