Soft washing
Metal roof cleaning
Standing seam and screw-down metal, cleaned without stripping the finish.
Metal roofs in this climate grow a film and lichen, especially under trees. A pressure washer dulls the panel and drives water under laps.
Soft wash suited to the coating. We do not walk a slick metal pitch. When the slope or the height requires it, the lift does the access.
Included
- Treatment of the metal surface
- Care at penetrations and ridges
- Ground rinse of heavy release
- An honest stop if the finish is already failed
