How it works in Homewood

No pressure on the roof. Ever.

Pressure washing a roof strips the granules that protect the shingle and can void the manufacturer warranty. A roof wash here is a soft wash: the solution goes on at low pressure from the eave or the ladder, dwells, and the growth dies. The streaks fade within days and the rest lifts with the rain.

Homewood is small lots, big trees and old houses. Painted wood siding and porch ceilings grow mildew in the shade, original concrete walks have gone gray over eighty years, and the brick bungalows in Edgewood show every downspout in a clay-coloured splash line. The mature canopy means most of these houses never fully dry out in summer.

Covered: Edgewood, West Homewood, Rosedale, Hollywood and Mayfair, every block of ZIP code 35209. A short run from base through the Red Mountain cut.

Straight talk

If the quote says pressure wash for the roof, that is your answer

Shingles are held together by granules and asphalt. Pressure removes the first and tears the second. A roof gets chemistry and time, applied by someone who has stood on enough of them to respect them.
