Never let anyone pressure wash your roof! You may have noticed many roofs in Freehold New Jersey that have some form of roof stains.

Power washing the roof does not sterilize the shingle and solve the problem. We use a sanitizing detergent that kill moss, mold, algae and bacteria. Once these roof organisms are killed they will be washed away with rains. This is similar to treating weeds in a sidewalk.
