Lake Oswego Presidential Style Brush Off

This shot show one of our technicians brushing off a presidential style shingle roof.  Although they have a nicer look and typically a longer lifespan, presidential style shingles have lots and nooks and crannies for moss and debris to latch on to.  As we do not recommend power washing on composition roofs typically, brushing the moss from these roofs is a more time consuming process.  After we brush off the roof which removes about 90-95% of the moss,we blow down the loose debris and then treat it to kill any remaining moss and inhibit further growth.  Let us give you a no cost, no obligation quote!!

Lake Oswego Cedar Shake

This week one of the projects we undertook was this Lake Oswego Cedar shake roof.  The roof is about 20 years old and has a good number of years left.  We power washed this particular roof, but power washing is not always necessary depending on debris and moss levels and condition of the roof.  The advantage of power washing is that it restores the color of the shake roof.  If preserving the roof is the most important function of any maintenance, we suggest  repairs and treatment as the power washing is much more expensive and does put a little more strain on the roof. 

Off season roof maintenance

Many people are of the mindset that the summer months are the only months good for effective roof maintenance procedures.  However, in many cases,  fall, winter and spring months are as good or better depending on the maintenance being done.  For example moss inhibiting treatments must be applied while the moss is growing to be most effective.  two cases where treatment is difficult are below freezing temperatures and any rainfall that amounts to more than a drizzle.  Other procedures including valley restoration, leak repairs and basic cleanings can also usually be performed during the fall, winter and spring months.  Additional advantages of having routine roof maintenance done in the non-peak season can include discounted rates and the possibility for quicker scheduling.

Shake Roof Care

Repairing cedar shakes in Tigard and Lake Oswego today. We look for shakes that are exposing the felt underlayement. If felt paper is left exposed for too long the paper blisters up and leaks will form. We remove these deteriorated shakes and replace with #1, Blue Ribbon cedar shakes. When the weather gets better we will be back to apply the preservative treatment to the roof. This will keep moss and fungi from growing on the roof and protect from ultraviolet damage.
