When your roof, siding or house is dirty with black marks, mold, lichens, moss or mildew, you want it cleaned.
The next step is to search for a roof or house cleaning company near you.
Once you identify a roof cleaning/ pressure washing business you call them for an estimate.
If the roof washing or house pressure cleaning estimate sounds really cheap, you decide to hire the company. Correct? Wrong. Price is not the best way to hire a roof cleaning or pressure washing company.
As you know, your home is a major investment. Hiring the wrong people to do work on your home can leave you with your roof or property damaged. Have you in a civil suit. A lien on your house. Or your house burglarized.
No, we are not trying to scare you. We are being honest and warning you about how a seemingly low price- can end up being extremely costly. Plus cheap roof washing tends to be low quality, inexperienced and uninsured people working on your property. They may have good intentions but is saving a few dollars worth the risk?
Price is not the only factor. There are better ways to choose a roof cleaning and home pressure washing business.
The qualities to look for in a residential roof shampoo/ soft roof washing and house pressure cleaning company are listed below:
#1. Experience
Roof cleaning is a specialty. In fact, washing roofs are also dangerous. Your roof can easily cost tens of thousands of dollars to replace. The best way to sustain the life of your roof is to have your roof washed at least every 5 years, or sooner if needed. A roof with moss, lichens, mold, mildew and black streaks needs to be cleaned. Some roof washing companies use high water pressure to wash your roof. Strong water pressure rips your roof shingles and your roof paper. Slate roofs get damaged from high water pressure as well.
The best way to clean a roof is soft roof washing. Soft roof washing is a method that Westchester Power Washing uses to gently spray your roof with an eco-friendly cleaning solution. This detergent removes lichens, moss, mold, mildew and black marks from your roof. Afterward, we gently spray your roof with water washing away the cleaning solution.
The cleaning solution and water are sprayed down your roof. Never upward lifting and damaging your roof. In addition, we protect your landscape and home by preparing the workspace first.
Most roof cleaners climb on top of your roof. Some put heavy equipment on your roof. Both put your roof at risk of damage and risk them falling off your roof.

#3- Properly Insured
Westchester Power Washing pays a premium to have the proper insurance to protect you, the homeowner and the company in case of an accident. Our Liability and Worker’s Compensation insurance is specifically for roof cleaning and pressure washing. Even though it is expensive, we carry this level of insurance to protect you from liability.
Most pressure washing and roof shampoo/ roof cleaning companies are not insured. As a result, if these uninsured roof cleaning or pressure washing companies damage your home or someone gets hurt, they can sue you personally. They can also put a lien on your home. As well as, seek compensation for medical expenses, pain and suffering, and lost wages.
What starts out as a cheap, low price discounted roof washing or house pressure wash turns into a damaged home, with expensive legal fees and litigation.
Do not hire a company that cannot prove to you they have the proper liability and workers compensation insurance specifically for roof washing and pressure cleaning.
If you do, you take the risk. The insurance is optional. We make it mandatory so all of us are protected and can sleep easy at night.

Typically on asphalt roofs, you will see black streaks on your roof. These black streaks indicate your roof has a bacteria called Gleocapsa Magma. This bacteria is similar to algae. If you allow this bacteria to continue to grow, you will eventually see other fungi and bacteria growth on your roof. This includes mold, moss, and lichen. All of these make your roof retain moisture and then damage your roof.
Additionally, your roof is sensitive to high water pressure. Furthermore, if you wash your roof with harsh cleaning detergents you can destroy your asphalt and your landscaping. If you search YouTube for how to clean a roof, the videos make the job look simple. Roof cleaning is not simple and it is dangerous.
