Extend the Life and Beauty of Your Cedar Roof
When properly cared for, cedar roofs are among the most beautiful, creating both a natural and striking look for your home. It is necessary to protect your cedar roof from the devastating effects of algae and moss to extend its life and maintain its beauty. Certified in wood restoration by the Power Washers of North America (PWNA), our employees, not subcontractors, will take the time to complete your project correctly, providing Chicago, IL and the surrounding area with professional cedar roof cleaning and repair.
Once bark is removed from the tree, the wood has no way of protecting itself from the damaging effects of weather. Unprotected, the wood will swell and shrink, warp, split, cup and crack, which will lead to a shortened life and expensive roof repairs. Having your cedar roof cleaned and sealed / stained can double the life of your roof.
Our Cedar Roof Cleaning and Repair Process
• A written quote explaining all the work to be done
• Apply cleaning solution to kill, loosen and lift any moss, algae and dirt that are marring and discoloring your cedar roof
• Carefully wash the roof with a power washer, removing the dead moss, algae, dirt and debris
• Treat the cedar roof with a neutralizing agent to brighten the wood and prepare it for our sealer / stain
• Replace any missing or broken shingles (up to 50 included) and secure loose staples and nails
• Inspect all flashing and skylights and re-caulk where needed.
• If needed, apply a rust inhibiting primer on valleys, excluding copper valleys.
• Before sealing / staining, test the wood with an electronic moisture meter to insure it is dry. The moisture content of the wood must be 16% or less to allow the sealer / stain to bond properly.
