FAQs
Do I need to clean my roof before treatment?
Yes you do need to clean off the dirt, debris and other matter on the wood so it is clean enough to absorb the treatment. And a garden hose is not sufficient,so we use a lower pressure with a high volume system which ensures no damage.
How do I know if my roof is too old to treat?
Every cedar roof is different. Some are 12 years old and too late to treat, where others can be as old as 23 years and can be reconditioned. We offer a free written inspection report by a qualified cedar roof inspector. Typically it is best to replace ridge caps, do minor repairs and wash and treat between 8 and 15 years. The longer you put it off the more repairs it will require. Call us for a free inspection
What does good roof maintenance consist of?
Keep the roof clean, trim back overhanging limbs, clean out valleys and gutters every year. Check every spring or after severe storms for visual damage. Splitting ridge caps, dryrot and the splitting of shakes and or curling should be dealt with. It will save you thousands of dollars and give you peace of mind with our written guarantee.
Can I really make the wood last longer?
Yes, it has been proven by several independent agencies. The Forest Service Products Research Lab in Madison, WI, the Forest Products Lab at Texas AM, Oregon State University, the Forest Products Lab of the University of California at Richmond, CA, and others, have done extensive weatherization tests which show that using a good preservative will increase the life expectancy of wood for many years.
How do preservatives help the moisture problem?
The main purpose of wood preservatives is to put the oil and resins back into the wood, which repels the water and hardens the shakes. Allowing the shakes to breathe is essential.
