Roof washing in Pelham

Roof washing for Pelham homes, quoted by the person who does the work. Pelham sits against Oak Mountain, and the ridge holds humidity in the valley long after sunrise, which is why siding here grows mildew fast on the shaded side. Black streaks and moss off shingle and metal roofs with no pressure on the roof surface. Attention To Details is based in Birmingham on the Highway 280 side, down i-65 from base. Call or text 205-521-1663 for a quote.

How it works in Pelham

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.

Pelham sits against Oak Mountain, and the ridge holds humidity in the valley long after sunrise, which is why siding here grows mildew fast on the shaded side. Long driveways on the bigger lots mean more concrete to go gray, and the pines along the park boundary drop needles and sap on roofs and decks all year.

Covered: Ballantrae, Chandalar, the Oak Mountain side and the Highway 119 corridor, every block of ZIP code 35124. Down I-65 from base.

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.
