If you would like to talk about exterior window cleaning service, please give us a call or email and we can put a package together for you.

Tell Me About Your 30-Day Clean Roof Guarantee.
Our guarantee is simple and straightforward:
- As we are killing living organisms including algae mildew, lichen, ferns, etc., we cannot warranty our work for a definitive period.
- Precipitation, humidity, and temperature impact this biomass and are forces out of our control.
- On average, most of our customers will not see substantial regrowth or re-staining for 3-4 years.
- You may notice a slight yellow/brown hazing after your cleaning, this is completely normal. Some dead algae may remain and will naturally be removed by rain & wind.
- If after TWO substantial rain showers or within 30 days, you notice remaining staining, we will come back to retreat problem areas on your roof at no additional cost.
Should I Be Concerned About My Plants And Landscaping?
Short answer: Yes.
Roof cleaning always carries an inherent risk to your landscaping and plant life. We can't guarantee that some of your landscaping will not be affected by the cleaning process (and you should seriously question any roof cleaning contractor who does make such a guarantee...)
What we do guarantee is that we'll take every precaution possible to protect your plant life. We also guarantee that if something negative does happen after your cleaning service, we will be there for you to help you get it rectified.
In order to mitigate as much risk as possible, we use a variety of strategies to protect landscaping and plant life:
- Collection and/or diversion of run-off (bagging downspouts).
- Dilution of overspray and runoff before, during, and after the job.
- We apply a neutralizing agent to soil and plant life where necessary.
- Coverage of delicate plant life with breathable tarps.
These precautions protect your plants as much as possible. In the event that you do notice any issues after service, such as wilting or browning leaves, wilting flowers, etc., please give us a call. We promise to take care of you!
