Roof Washing and House Washing in Eldersburg, MD

Recently we received a call from a customer in Eldersburg, MD who wanted help preparing his family's home to list for sale. When we met with the customer we noticed black stains and organic growth on the roof as well as on the siding and walkway of the house. We explained that the black stains are a living, growing organic material called gloeocapsa magma. Not only is it unsightly it is damaging to the shingles on the roof as it eats away at the limestone in the asphalt shingle. He was surprised and at the same time happy to hear that we could remove those stains from the roof and freshen up the siding and walkway. After discussing the different options we agreed upon a roof washing, house washing, and sidewalk wash.

When performing a roof wash or a house wash we use a technique called soft washing. Soft washing is the preferred method because it not only cleans the roof and siding but it prevents damage that a high pressure application could cause. The sidewalk leading to the front porch was also dirty and had organics growing on it. It was soft washed with our soft wash detergent and then properly pressure washed.

The customer was very pleased with the results of the wash. He even told us that he wished he had it done sooner so that he could have enjoyed more time in the freshly washed house! The house was listed shortly after and they received and accepted an offer right away.
