Today, I recieved a call for a quote from a man in Lake Mary Fl for a roof cleaning for his 4600 sq ft Tile Roof in an upscale neighborhood. I have always kept my promise to keep my prices equal to all and not judge by demographics on how I price my jobs. So I looked up his information and he also mentioned that his neighbor wanted to get his roof cleaned as well so I gave him a group discount. Each roof was priced accordingly just as any other roof I price and sell. He had mentioned that he got a quote for $250.00 each!?! that comes to a little more than .05 cents per sqft. It costs half that to clean those roofs. I was told it was a local firefighter who gave him that quote. Hmmm, I wonder who that could be (JM).

Listen! What makes a firefighter do a roof so cheap? He has a 50k a year job working 3 days a week and has 4 days off to cash in and cut his prices to cut all other competitors throats and does not carry liability insurance and if he does he uses high pressure to clean roofs. While this industry is my life and puts food on the table and a roof over my family’s heads, I do not mind a firefighter as a competitor. But! If he is out doing roofs for half price and cutting throats plus using his ” I am a firefighter cry ” to get business is wrong. That is exploiting firefighters as cut throat cleaners. I have to make a living just like every other person who is in this business only, and only does exterior cleaning/pressure washing/safe non pressure roof cleaning and does not have a steady income looking for extra spending cash.

So next time you feel bad for a firefighter and think of calling him just remember he is a firefighter and has a steady income of around atleast 40k a year while for others this is their livelihood and you are just hurting those who need business to live and pay taxes to help pay for that firefighters salary.

When most people look into having their home or business’ roof, exterior or other surfaces cleaned they think pressure cleaning. But what most people are not educated on is who to hire and why. There are different ways to clean each surface correctly and incorrectly. Here is what I have noticed over the last decade and a half.

More people now know that pressure cleaning a roof is wrong and that it is very destructive whether it is tile, shingle, slate, metal or cedar shake even at the lowest pressure settings on a pressure washer. Still there are companies that still practice this method of roof cleaning which are usually new start up gigs that never last long, and homeowners and business owners that buy into pressure cleaning their roofs still; only to find out later that their warranty has been voided and the damage is irreversible. They can’t get the companies insurance to pay since they (the cleaning company) is out of business.

The proper companies to hire are companies who only use non pressure methods by using chemical roof cleaning and only rinsing off with a water hose. If they say that they do that and show up to clean your roof and fire up a pressure washer after applying a product to your roof, YOU the HOMEOWNER have the legal right to stop them from continuing and pay them nothing. Why? They made a false pretensious sale by lying and that legally voids even a signed contract. So be sure to hire a well known or certified roof cleaner like me at Tropical or any other company that only practices Safe No Pressure Roof Cleaning.

Now for exteriors, screen enclosures, walls, fences and painted flat surfaces pressure cleaning is still an accepted method. IF done properly by first applying a chemical solution and rinsing gently with the use of either a water hose or a pressure washer. The stereotypical picture you may invision of pressure cleaning is a contractor blasting off stuff with a high pressure fan tip waving it side to side and up and down to clean your home or business which is still used today only for paint preps not for basic cleaning and maintanence. That method is so outdated for cleaning that if you hire someone and notice they are doing it stop them immediatly!

The way that I prefer to clean those surfaces is by using a pressure washer with a chemical injection setup and custom made application tips and rinse tips not the stock tips that come with the pressure washer when it was purchased, I usually throw those in the trash or leave them with the dealer. I have 3 different application tips with a wide orface to allow the injection system to let the concentrated cleaning solution to mix with the water being fed through the hose and the rinse tips are smaller orfaced to cut off the circulation of chemical and allows only fresh water to pass for rinsing. I have 2 rinse tips one I have is worth $50.00 for just the tip alone and it is a high reaching stream/fan tip that can clean a 3 story building from the ground. Another reason I use this method is because I know exactly what percent I am spraying at all times which is 12.5% chemical and 87.5% water. Now, about the other correct method I (used) to use is by spraying a solution on with a 12 volt pump and rinsing with a water hose and I still use this method by request only. I do not prefer this method because it is time consuming, you can’t get mud dauber and wasp nests down easily with a waterhose especially if the house has very little water pressure and lastly you never really know if you are spraying too hot or too weak. I rather know for sure.

Now on concrete and pavers. There are 2 ways to clean these correctly and both ways involve using chemical. First, I will explain my way and then the other way I used to do it and why and the wrong way.

On non painted, non sealed or non coated surfaces I always pressure clean them using a surface cleaner first, then I rinse off the entire surface and apply a (LIGHT SOLUTION) to kill any reminents of the mildew spores and remove acorn and other growth stains. The reason for the light solution after cleaning? Grass along the edges of driveways and sidewalks and to make sure that the cleaning lasts a long time. Not a few months but for a few years. Note: it also depends on the shade and weather conditions but even then my process lasts 10 times longer than conventional pressure washing.
The second correct way I used to use is the spray it HOT! and let the rain wash it away method. I stopped using this method mainly because people want instant results and grass edges would get burned slightly due to the higher concentration of chemicals since lighter mixes take forever to get results and I had to waste gas by going back to touch up spots.

I also have seen the wrong way A LOT!! Everywhere I go I critique others work that I see around Central Florida during my schedules or on homes that I am there to do some cleaning for since the last guy did not make a happy customer. I can tell when a wand and fan tip was used, an orbital tip was used, and a surface cleaner was used since the pattern they took to clean it is visible. Why? They just used water, water has no cleaning or mildew spore killing properties and even though it may look clean once it is finished it will start coming back in as little as 3 weeks! 3 weeks of a clean driveway for the same price or maybe a little more for a driveway that stays clean for 2 to 3 years?? Make sure they use chemicals when they clean your driveway and sidewalks so you don’t waste your money. The guy who did your driveway and left lines everywhere probably bought pawn shop gear and just needed some quick cash so beware.

Tile Roof Cleaning requires no damaging high pressure or even the use of a pressure washer in any way what so ever. The way Tropical cleans tile roofs and shingle roofs is how the roofing manufacturer recommends it. It is a light blend of safe solutions applied with an electric 12v pump and rinsed off with a waterhose. It is that safe for your roof no matter the material it is made of.

Our roof cleanings last for up to 5 years and longer depending on the conditions since our solutions actually kill the mildew that is infesting and slowly destroying your roof instead of blasting it off with water and high pressure. Since 1998 we have cleaned thousands of roofs all over Florida with no issues and we have many satisfied customers.

I am a certified master roof cleaner with 14 years under my belt and I can guarantee that no matter how bad your roof looks, it will look brand new when we are finished. No plant damage, no property damage and no mess left behind.

We are not just contained to cleaning homes and business’ in Greater Orlando, we have traveled or we will sub out work in South Florida, Tampa and North Panhandle of Florida depending on the size of work and our availability. The cleaning companies that we sub our work to are the only companies we recommend because of their reputation and experience.

The reason I choose these companies to quote and service projects I can’t get to is my peace of mind. It is also my reputation on the line and I can’t justify calling some big corpoation who will just over price you and give you broken promises or the newbe in this business who thinks that this is a cake walk type job and take that chance. We have all earned our place in this industry by years and years of experience and proving ourselves by aquiring so many repeat customers in the roof cleaning and pressure washing industry.

This should take out the guess work and the idea of shopping around for the cheapest out there; the cheapest are cheap for a reason. No experience, no sales skill and they have to bid low to get work since they are usually desparate for work but in the end they never last and move on to other ventures.

In the summer and every summer for the last 14 years business is at it’s slowest but this year has been the slowest yet! It has a lot to do with the economy and the elections coming up. People in general are holding on to every dollar they can from being unsure of what the future holds. So what we at Tropical have done over the last few months is work with our suppliers and vendors on getting better rates for us so we can get better rates to you. We purchase over 30k dollars a year in cleaning solution alone not to mention all of the other parts and supplies to keep us fully up to date with our equipment and vehicals. One thing we will never skimp on is top notch insurance for both parties protection. But our rates are very competitive, not saying we are the cheapest because to do it right or have it done right you will be paying more. I have seen the results of the super cheap guys and they are not pretty. You know the saying “You get what you pay for” well that stands so true in this business. I have heard from many people I have met over the years when giving a price for cleaning they tell me the last guy did it for this and I ask them why didn’t they call them. This is the most common answer: they are out of business! – or - they killed all of my plants and did a lot of damage! So don’t go with the cheapest bids people, that is just too risky and if it sounds too good to be true, it is.

I price every roof cleaning job or any other cleaning service the same. If you live in a modest 1200 sqft home or a 40,000 sqft home I never judge on income or status. I clean NBA players homes for the same price as any other home. Priced per sqft. Equally and that is the bottom line so don’t let any other company take advantage of you because of your status. I give active and non-active military and senior discounts and also package deals.

Give us a call today for more information and a free consultation. I will come out and see what you have and give my recommendations as well. It is free and there are no obligations.

Roof Cleaning and Pressure Washing Orlando

Orlando Roof Cleaning and Pressure Washing by Tropical Roof and Exterior Cleaning Systems, serving Seminole, Orange, Osceola, Brevard, Volusia, Lake, Indian River and Polk Counties with professional Roof and Exterior Cleaning services that include but are not limited to Safe Non Pressure Roof Cleaning, Exterior Cleaning, Full Service Gutter Cleaning, Paver Sealing, Screen Enclosure Cleaning, Pool Deck Cleaning, Driveway Cleaning, Sidewalk Cleaning, Wood and Vinyl Fence Cleaning and more..

Call Me Today at 407-415-3419 or www.tropicalroofandexterior.com for more info and a link to email for a fast response. We are licensed, insured and are Workers Comp compliant.

Today, I am going to first talk about tips on cleaning shingle and tile roofs safely without the use of a pressure washer or any high pressure rinsing system. First, before you decide to have your roof cleaned by doing it yourself remember that when you do so you need to take all safety precautions and have all proper equipment ( a pump up sprayer will not work efficiently ): Have a safe ladder with a stabilizer so that it is not resting on the gutters or drip edge which can dent or even damage them the stabilizer is also to keep the ladder from kicking left or right leaving you stranded on the roof if you do not have a helper. Second you will need a 100 gallon tank and either a Shurflo electric pump or a FloJet pump. You will need 200 to 300 foot of 3/4 inch poly braid hose, a ball valve, connectors, fan tip, wand, a 12v system to run the pump such as a deep cycle or regular car battery. Third a respirator for vapors not a paper mask! Gloves & eye protection. Fourth you will need a good amount of solution. Roofing manufacturers suggest a mix of (Sodium Hypochloite) or Pool Chlorine, (Tri-Sodium Phosphate) or TSP and mix it at a 40 gallons of chemical and 60 gallons of water. Lastly you will need a 100 ft waterhose to keep plants wet during the cleaning and also for rinsing the roof.

OR

You can do it in a more cost effective and safer manner by contacting a reputable and highly experienced roof cleaning contractor like me. Which can clean your roof efficiently, effectively and safely instead of purchasing all that equipment and supplies. I have been cleaning roofs since 1998 and I have seen it all. From the do it yourselfer who gave up after a week of trying, to the person who had purchased a spray on and leave it roof cleaning product from a home improvement store or online that just did not work at all to the person who thought they called the right company until they showed up with a pressure washer in the bed of their truck attempting to or actually cleaning their roof and the cleaning did a lot of damage or simply did not last for more than 3 or 4 months or both. So make sure
that who you do hire uses Non Pressure Roof Cleaning Methods that gives you long lasting and instant results with a type of warranty.




Go to this site for very useful information: www.roofcleaningchemicals.com
Now advice on pressure cleaning: From the exterior to the driveway to pool enclosures and decks there is a wrong way and a right way to pressure clean them. The stereotypical picture that you probably think of when pressure cleaning is the one where high pressure is used up close with just water fanning side to side on all surfaces. The actual way we do it is a cold water, solution controlled chemical cleaning with custom tips for application and rinsing. For flat surfaces like concrete driveways and sidewalks we also see “new short term” start up companies using either a high volume 15, 25 or 40 degree tips which is so time consuming and does not clean evenly at all; you may have had yours cleaned by this method and within a short period you will see the mildew growing back and a striped pattern that emerges. We use a different approach, the tool is a classic whisper wash surface cleaner that looks like a buffer in a way but it is actually a spraybar with 2 tips that rotate at high RPMs and cleans the surface evenly and efficently and afterwards we do what most do not do. We apply a light solution to actually kill the mildew root system that is left over after cleaning with plain water so that when it starts getting dirty again in a few years it will come back evenly and not leave an ugly line pattern down the driveway and sidewalks. I have even seen driveways that were cleaned like this that the homeowner was told that is the best it is going to get which I think is not a good way to do business and that can ruin it but also help for those who do it right.

Pressure washing exteriors, screen enclosures and other surfaces that require careful and experienced knowledge to do so: The way to do it right is to first use a detergant fan tip or a wide orface stream tip to allow the solution to pass through the injection system on all exterior surfaces like the underside of the drip edge, facia, soffits, outside of gutters and walls or all vertical surfaces and on pool enclosures all screens and beams. There is no spot treating since it will just create a big clean spot. Once the cleaning solution is applied by sections and it has sat for for about a minute or so we will switch tips and flush out the lines to where fresh water is only coming out and then rinse the sections that the solution was applied to completely including all windows and doors. This solution removes green algae, mildew, bug and spider debris, wasp nests, mud dauber nests and other debris that is on the exterior. The custom tips I had made for me cut off the circulation flow of the solution and only lets fresh water to pass through and the solution injection it controls the percentage at 15% at all times.

The results are amazing and they are long lasting. You will be happy when you see how it comes out and also how long it stays clean. Although in the more humid climates cleanings of course never last forever since the spore block inhibitors wear off like pest control products and lawn care products do. However, we do have a maintenance program to come out every year to keep your exterior free of damaging mildew and other contaminants in the air.

Roof Cleaning and Pressure Washing Thought of the day

Orlando Pressure Washing, Orlando Roof Cleaning, Orlando Pressure Cleaning, Pressure Washing, Roof Cleaning, Pressure Cleaning, Paver Sealing, Roof Cleaning Services, Gutter Cleaning Service, Non Pressure Roof Cleaning Service Florida.

Is a Roof Cleaning, Pressure Washing, Pressure Cleaning, Gutter Cleaning, Paver Sealing company based in Orlando Florida our services include exterior cleaning, screen enclosure cleaning, pool deck cleaning, driveway cleaning, wood fence cleaning, PVC fence cleaning, vinyl fence cleaning, window cleaning, patio furniture cleaning and more..

Today, I cleaned a few homes and two of the homes brought something to my attention. The first house was a paver pool deck cleaning. The pavers were sealed a while back and the sealing was sort of botched, meaning that it was sealed while the pavers were still holding moisture and the sand in the joints was thinner than it should have been. They had sealed the pavers and mildew spores that were left were trapped under the sealer making it impossible to remove without having the entire deck stripped of the sealer. The company did a great job on the driveway and the area where the sun hits the deck, but where it is in the shade most of the day it still had moisture trapped in the pavers. A solution for that senerio is a really difficult task and labor intensive; you would have to remove all the pavers and reclean them and set the pavers in direct sun for 6 hours to have full evaporation or can be done easily by cleaning and sealing before the pavers are laid down in areas like that.

The other one was a past customer of mine who had me clean her pool enclosure in 2009 and then last year a neighborhood kid decided to start a pressure cleaning business and got in over his head like many do when they think that it is an easy job for some quick cash when it is actually labor intensive, a lot of maintenance, a lot of overhead and you need a lot of experience to make it in this business. I make it look easy since it is second nature to me and I have been doing this since 1998, but I had to learn first from working for someone who knew what they were doing working my way up by cleaning some very complex structures. Needless to say the kid wrecked her pavers by blowing out all of the joint sand by pressure washing it with a high pressure tip as well as the driveway and sidewalks plus did not use any type of treatment so you can see where he had cleaned it with a wand, you can see the pattern that he made very well. I treat every surface I clean because I want it to last long and when it starts to get dirty again it comes backs evenly. The kid decided that pressure washing was not the best idea for him as a business venture.

The Roof Cleaning, Exterior Cleaning and Pressure Washing industry is probably the last type of business you want to start in this economy unless you buy a well established business you will not make it. I got in this business when there were maybe 40 pressure cleaning business’/Roof cleaning business’ in the Central Florida/Greater Orlando Area. Now there are over 400 and only 10% are well qualified to clean your home or business so be careful who you hire these days because most new guys are not even experienced and worse not insured. If they ask for a check in their name or take cash only that is a good sign, and I understand that saving money is very important to everyone and going cheap is a quick fix but can cost you more than you think. So be careful who you hire.

Today’s topic: Roof Cleaning Warranties and the way that they work and what you should know. I will go over the 2 most popular ones and then explain my warranty on how it works and what it is.

The Infamous 5 Year Spot Free Warranty: When you hire a roof cleaning contractor that offers a 5 year warranty READ THE FINE PRINT! This is usually located on the back of the invoice that almost 85% of customers never read until warranty time comes and they get handed a bill. It works like this, the 1st year it is a free retreat of the roof, the 2nd year it is 25% of the total cost, the 3rd year is 50% of the total cost, the 4th year it is 75% of the total cost and the 5th year your warranty is expired and you will be paying 100% of the total cost and this cost is before any discounts.

The 3 Year Warranty: This warranty works like this, the first 18 months are a no cost cleaning and the second half is 50% of the total cost. People always wait until the last minute to call for a warranty cleaning and think it is free. They become upset when they get a bill for the cleaning.

Why? It costs money to clean roofs, for example we will use a 2500 sqft shingle roof which usually costs $250.00 to $300.00 and the overhead to clean it includes chemical cost ($65.00) payroll time (3 hours 2 techs at $12.00 per hour = $72.00) gas to drive to that particular house ($25.00 average) and misc costs like garbage bags or plastic sheeting ($15.00) without factoring in wear and tear and employment taxes comes to $177.00 just to clean that roof. That gives a profit margin of $73.00 for the company if they cleaned it for $250 or $123.00 profit if priced at $300.00 and if they come back to do it for free then that company will be out of business very quickly. Companies do not stay in business by doing free work and they do not get calls without cool offers like a long term warranty to lure you into calling them first before the other guy.

In Florida you really can’t promise how long a roof will stay clean usually 2 years for sure - beyond that it is all up to the elements like humidity, rainfall, shade over the roof by trees, type and color of roof, pollen count, if the neighborhood is full of dirty roofs gleocapsa magma (mildew) will spread around like a wild fire from one roof to the other then back to yours. So many factors come into play and the dirtier the roof the more chemical and time it takes to clean it thus it eats into profit bottom lines that big companies can’t afford and even smaller companies too like mine.

My 2 Year Unconditional Warranty: It works like this, from the date of the initial cleaning you will have exactly 2 years to get your roof retreated at NO COST at all. Not a single penny, no hidden fees and no fine print. Unconditional means just that. You get a new roof installed because a storm blew it off, no problem I will treat it for prevention! You call me on the very last day of the warranty but I am booked a week out don’t worry as long as you call and leave a message or speak with me by that expiration date midnight you are fine. The roof may be and usually is still clean like new and a simple retreat gives you an additional 2,3,4 or 5 years of a clean roof and only paying one time no questions asked. It is like a type of 5 to 7 year clean roof guarantee.

Why did I create this Warranty? For one it is honest and ethical, I mean a warranty is a warranty. You should not have to pay anything during a warranty, zero, zip, notta! Secondly it will cost me something but it is also an investment since honesty keeps customers, “hidden fees do not”. The cost to me is also minimal since I will almost always try to schedule it on a day I will be in that general area and since the roof is still clean it will be a small fraction of chemical cost since it is a complete retreat of the entire roof but with a lower percentage since the roof is not as dirty as it was during the initial cleaning.

So be sure to READ THE FINE PRINT!!!!

Pressure Washing Orlando Roof Cleaning Orlando

Roof Cleaning Orlando, Pressure Washing Orlando, Pressure Cleaning Orlando and Paver Sealing Orlando. Tropical Roof and Exterior Cleaning Systems services roof cleaning, exterior cleaning, screen enclosure cleaning, pool deck cleaning, driveway cleaning, sidewalk cleaning, patio furniture cleaning, anything that can be cleaned we can clean it serving Greater Orlando and All Surrounding areas. Visit www.tropicalroofandexterior.com or call 407-415-3419 for a free estimate.

Reasons to clean your Roof: there are many reasons for Roof Cleaning, here are the most important. Orlando Roof Cleaning removes destructive Mildew build up that actually eats away at the roofing materials feeding on the limestone filler causing rapid breakdown of shingles and tiles. "Health", did you know that is heavy mildew that is on your roof and leaving it there eventually will creep down the exterior and spores will get into your home where moisture is present. Curb Appeal, why have a dirty roof when you can have a clean roof that looks brand new for a small fraction of what a new roof costs.

How to Clean Roofs Properly: First thing never use a pressure washer to clean any roof since it will remove granules and cause water intrustion even at low pressure settings with a pressure washer. It has to be cleaned by roofing manufacturers standards to keep your warranty valid, roofing manufacturers will know if pressure was used by simply inspecting it, so don't try it. The way we do Roof Cleaning is "The Only Method" approved by ALL ROOFING MANUFACTURERS. Go to any roofing manufacturers websites or call them to ask how it should be cleaned they will tell you. Our Roof Cleaning process is done only with an electric pump to apply the Roof Cleaning Solution on and then it is rinsed off with a regular water hose with regular water pressure from your homes water spigots to give you same day, long lasting, new looking roof results that helps your roofs lifespan by actually killing and preventing mildew regrowth and although it is not permanant it will stay clean for several years.




Watch out for these New Magic Products: They contain "Highly Toxic Copper Sulfate" as the main ingredient and has to be pressure washed off using a minimun of 1000 psi to complete. Roof A Cide, Roof Be Clean and Spray and Forget are all untested and not approved by ANY ROOFING MANUFACTURER. The link below is a link about "copper sulfate" by Cornell University. You can also find a link to a Rip Off Report on Roof A Cide in my Recent Posts.

What to ask for from a Roof Cleaning Contractor: The most important is Insurance, make sure it is current by calling the listed agent on the insurance form. References, Angie's List is the best way but even a list of past customers they can call is good too. Business License, it is not a requirement but is better to have an occupational license. Workers Comp Insurance or Workers Comp Exemption Form which is mainly stating you and your homeowners insurance are not responsible for injuries to workers on your property. If the company has more that 4 employees then Florida Law requires them to have Workers Comp Insurance. What methods they use to clean roofs? Ask, what do they use and if they have to use a pressure washer to clean your roof in any way. If they even state that they use a pressure washer at very low pressure move on to the next quote nicely until you find a Roof Cleaning company that uses Soft Non Pressure Roof Cleaning methods.

What does it cost to clean your roof? In every case it all depends on the gross square footage including the garage not the living square footage. The pitch of the roof also dictates pricing, also the type of roof (Tile or Shingle) Tile will always cost more than shingle, how much prep work has to be done, the extent of how dirty the roof is can sometimes be a factor in pricing but not in most cases. If you have actual moss or lichen growing that would be a factor in pricing. Prices range from .10 cents to .20 cents per sqft in Florida and more in northern states since chemical cost is more and availability is less.

We should also never forget the surviviors who are still alive today and those who are suffering from the physical and mental stress from those attacks including ALL our troops that have fought and died in defending our freedom and our country.
