Community Roof Cleaning and Maintenance

Here's a video we did recently that shows what preventative maintenance across a whole community can accomplish.

This is a community of 400+ homes that works with one of our Applicators. Their roofs are approximately 15 years old. And while most 15 year old shingle roofs in Florida would be black by now, these have never needed to be cleaned and they look almost pristine. Why? Because of Proactive, Preventative Maintenance.

Roof Cleaning is very common here in Florida because when the roof is covered in black algae, it not only looks bad and detracts from the aesthetics of the property or community, it detracts from the value of the property or community. This is why many homeowners in South Florida don't have a choice as to whether or not to keep their roofs clean - it's mandated by the communities they live in.

But cleaning the roofs with harsh chemicals or pressure cleaning puts unnecessary wear & tear on the roof and opens up the potential for damage. Preventative Maintenance is much easier on the roof and more cost-effective. Periodic inspections, minor repairs when needed, preventing algae & moss growth, etc all contribute to maximizing the life of the roof and lowering overall costs of ownership.

By eliminating the need for roof cleaning, this community is improving the aesthetics of the community, improving property values, reducing unnecessary disruption throughout the community, reducing unnecessary wear & tear, maximizing the life of the roofs - AND they're saving the community money while doing it.

If you're ready to start being proactive in maintaining your roof or the roofs of your community, contact an Authorized Roof-A-Cide® Applicator near you.

Water Conservation & Minimizing Negative Environmental Impacts in Communities

In some areas of the US, especially Florida, roofs are stained black by algae growth which detracts from the appearance and property values. As a result, many communities regularly go through the process of roof cleaning which entails either pressure cleaning (which wastes large amounts of water) or chemical cleaning (which includes the use of toxic chemicals).

Roof-A-Cide® was formulated to eliminate this unnecessary waste and pollution. We have the only product & process in the US that is both EPA Approved and approved by every major roof materials manufacturer to PREVENT these stains for YEARS with each treatment and thereby eliminate the need for cleaning as well as the use  of pressure cleaning or harsh chemicals.

For over 20 years, we have been working with Communities that are concerned about:
1) Maintaining aesthetics and property values
2) Limiting the use of harsh chemicals
3) Preserving the integrity of their roofs, and 
4) Conserving water and minimizing practices that unnecessarily waste it.

Note: An average person uses roughly 25 gallons of water per shower. We can keep a 2,500 square foot roof clean for YEARS with less water than that!

Roof-A-Cide: Our Story

The Roof-A-Cide® product was developed Davie, Florida in 1992 as communities and some cities and towns began to require that homeowners keep their roofs clean.  

Since cleaning options were limited, most people were forced to resort to pressure cleaning or harsh chemicals like Chlorine Bleach and the damaging process of repeated roof cleaning was considered "unavoidable".

But some people knew there had to be a better way! With a lot of research, effort, & determination by people with backgrounds in Property Management, Property Maintenance, and Chemistry, Roof-A-Cide® was created and things began to change. People now had a common-sense alternative.

Over the next few years, the product & process was tested and refined until it performed successfully and consistently throughout Broward County. We worked with the EPA and Roof Materials Manufacturers to make sure the product was safe for people to work with, safe for the environment, and safe for roofs.

To date, Roof-A-Cide® has been used on well over 150,000 homes in 14 states throughout the US. Roof-A-Cide® is well known in the HOA, POA, and Condo Communities. And Roof-A-Cide® is being used by some of the most established and respected Roofing, Painting, and Property Maintenance companies in Florida and increasingly throughout the US.

Roof-A-Cide® has been tested and approved by the largest manufacturers of Asphalt Shingles, Concrete Tiles, Clay Tiles, Stone-Coated Steel, and Slate including GAF, Boral, Monier LifeTile, US Tile, Gerard, Metro, and Entegra.

Over the last 20+ years, Roof-A-Cide® has been proven on individual homes to Communities of over 1,000.

Professional Roof Cleaning for Homeowner & Condo Communities

Protect Your Property &
Avoid Unnecessary Roof Damage. 

Learn about your choices in different cleaning methods and what you should definitely avoid.

Many contractors that offer Roof Cleaning, especially here in Florida, are using dangerous levels of high-strength Chlorine Bleach (Pool Chlorine) because it is cheap, fast, and easy - in the short-term. But there are more effective ways to maintain your roof that are safer for both your roof and the environment. 

Extremely High-Strength Chlorine Bleach solutions usually will not usually do noticeable damage to actual asphalt roof shingles or concrete roof tiles, but they will do irreversible damage to almost everything else that comprises a roof system – fixtures, flashings, fasteners, gutters, and most importantly the underlayment that covers the roof and serves as the actual waterproofing. 

These are the most common areas of roof leaks and this damage is expensive to repair and can usually goes unnoticed for years before the problem is discovered.

This is why you do not see reputable Roofing Professionals using or advocating this dangerous method – but you will find them using other methods that are safer for the roof, safer for the environment, and APPROVED by Roofing Manufacturers.

• FACT: Both Bleach and TSP will corrode metal (even in weak concentrations) and High-Strength Chlorine Bleach (Pool Chlorine) will accelerate the damage – especially when the roof is not rinsed properly.
• FACT: Not One Roofing Manufacturer in the US recommends the High-Strength Chlorine Bleach solutions that are being used all over Florida and increasingly throughout the US.
• FACT: Roofing Manufacturers have approved safer alternatives to Chlorine Bleach for cleaning roofs. 
• FACT: Roof-A-Cide® is Approved by EVERY major roof materials manufacturer to clean & prevent unsightly roof stains and ELIMINATE the need for roof cleaning.

Protect Your Property, Be Environmentally Safe, & Save Money by learning about your choices for Roof Cleaning & Property Maintenance.

Most Roof Cleaning contractors here in Florida are using high-strength Chlorine Bleach (Pool Chlorine) because it is cheap, fast, and easy – but there are much safer and more effective ways to maintain your roof. 

High-Strength Chlorine Bleach solutions usually will not do noticeable damage to actual asphalt roof shingles or concrete roof tiles, but they will do irreversible damage to almost everything else that comprises a roof system – fixtures, flashings, fasteners, and most importantly the underlayment that covers the roof and serves as the actual waterproofing. These are the areas that are most likely to leak. When these critical areas of the roof are compromised, the likelihood of a leak increases dramatically! 

This damage usually goes unnoticed for years before the problem is discovered.

This is why you do not see reputable Roofing Professionals using or advocating the use of Pool Chlorine for Roof Cleaning – but you will find them using other methods that are safer for the roof, safer for the environment, and APPROVED by Roofing Manufacturers.

• FACT: Roof-A-Cide® is Environmentally Safe and will not damage your landscaping.

Cleaning the roofs with chlorine bleach for an average HOA with 300 homes will usually require thousands of gallons of pool chlorine. And not only is this damaging to the roofs, but it is also being released into Your Community's immediate environment.

Roof-A-Cide® is NOT about Roof Cleaning - It's Better

Our products CAN clean roofs, but THIS is why Communities choose Roof-A-Cide® to PREVENT roof stains instead of simply cleaning roofs when they get dirty:

These Roofs have never been cleaned and they will NEVER need to be cleaned. A light treatment every couple of years will keep these roofs looking like new and ELIMINATE the need for future cleaning and the potential for damage that goes along with it.

Roof-A-Cide® gives Roofing, Painting, and Property Maintenance Professionals a chance to offer Communities the safest, most cost-effective alternative to roof cleaning. 

This eliminates the need for pressure cleaning or toxic chemicals like Chlorine Bleach and saves Wear & Tear on the roofs!

Here's another example
