This roof cleaning Kirkwood MO project was completed using our low pressure roof cleaning method. As you can tell by the pictures, roof stains began to really take over this roof. As a premier roof cleaning St. Louis Company, we were able to restore this roof and remove the roof stains.

You’ve probably noticed those stains on the north side of your roof. You’ve also probably noticed those stains are getting worse over time. You hate to replace your roof shingles because it is only a few years old, and would cost thousands of dollars to replace your roof.

Well, don’t worry. The St. Louis roof stains you see on your roof can be cleaned off for a fraction of the cost of replacing your whole roof.

You see, what is on your roof is actually a fungus that is growing on your roof. This fungus is feeding on your shingles, and can cause damage to your shingles, resulting in replacement.

At Marler’s, we have been cleaning roofs in the St. Louis area for three years now, cleaning St. Louis roofs has became our specialty. Many companies are offering roof cleaning St. Louis now, but dont understand how to go about cleaning a roof. Many companies we have talked to use a pressure washer, or a surface cleaner attachment to clean your roof. You should never use a pressure washer on your roof. Period. If a company tells you that regardless of what they do, you are going to have some granule loss from the shingles, we suggest you find a different company.

At Marler’s we use a low pressure system designed to clean a roof safely and our methods are very effective. Basically, our system looks like a garden hose sprayer, putting our cleaning detergent down and cleaning your roof. We never use more pressure than a garden hose to safely clean your roof.

With the warm day we had yesterday, we decided to do a roof cleaning St. Louis job we had scheduled early in Febuary. This roof as you can see had roof stains that were making it an eyesore for the family that lived in this home. This house was at the end of a cul-de-sac, and the homeowners said every time they came home all they saw was roof stains staring them in the face. We applied our roof cleaning detergent to take care of the stains, then followed that with a no pressure rinse to rinse off the dead mold.
