Roof cleaningin Deerfield Beach, FL.

Robert Sullivan's houses in The Cove were built with white tile roofs from the early 1950s on, and a lot of the neighborhood still favors light roofs. A white or light roof is the most honest roof there is: every black stripe of Gloeocapsa shows from the street, and salt off the Intracoastal and the Hillsboro River dulls the rest.

The soft wash kills the algae and rinses the salt with no pressure, which matters on light tile because pressure etches the surface and leaves it rougher, so it stains faster next time. Houses here are old enough that Citizens asks for a four-point inspection, and a clean roof shows the inspector the tile rather than the streaks. It does not change the roof's age, and any cracked tile is pointed out first.

Deer Creek's homes were built from 1974 onward around its golf course, in a Spanish-inspired style that usually means barrel tile. A roof facing the course or a lake stays damp longer after sprinklers and dew, and the north slopes grow Gloeocapsa first, then lichen in the channels of the tile.

Barrel tile has deep channels and holds leaves and seed pods from the course trees, which keep it wet. The channels and valleys are cleared, the solution goes on from the eaves up with no pressure, and heavy lichen gets a second application planned in the quote. The tile is walked only where it will take weight. With homes spanning nearly fifty years of building, roof ages vary street by street, so every roof is looked at before it is quoted.

Independence Bay, west of Powerline Road, was built from the 1980s into the early 1990s and runs under eleven neighborhood associations. Century Village is 8,508 condos from 1970 to 1995. In buildings like those, the roof almost always belongs to the association, and an owner cannot book it on their own. Century Village's buildings date from 1970 to 1995, so many roofs there are well past the twenty-year inspection line.

Detached homes in Independence Bay may be different, so check your documents. If the roof is yours, it is quoted like any roof. If it is the association's, Michael can quote the building or several buildings for them. Either way the method is the same no-pressure soft wash, with plants soaked first and gutters flushed after. A building quote covers the whole roof in one visit, so there is no clean-and-dirty line between units.
