CONCRETE ROOF CLEANING SEATTLE WA

We clean all types of commercial and residential concrete roofs in the Seattle area.

The types of concrete roof tiles we clean include:

 

We clean flat concrete shingles - These are not just flat; they often come with a micro-texture or embossed patterns for improved grip and aesthetic appeal. Some modern variations include embedded solar cells for energy generation, making them eco-friendly. We clean flat concrete shingles with specific water jets for efficiency, leaving no stains behind.
We clean interlocking concrete roof tiles - Beyond the basic interlock, there are now tiles designed with aerodynamic shapes to reduce wind uplift, enhancing their suitability for hurricane-prone areas. We have the special shapes of water jet attachments to clean these interlocking tiles more efficiently while getting in all the nooks and crannies.
We clean double Roman roof tiles - Features a dual-curve design that not only interlocks but also creates a shadow effect, enhancing depth perception on the roof. Our deep water jets are able to clean these types of tiles without missing a spot.
We clean S-shaped pantiles - Known for its S-shaped profile, new versions incorporate thermal insulation materials within the tile itself, reducing heat transfer through the roof. We love washing S-shaped tiles because it proves the power and efficiency of our technique and saves time and money for our clients.
We clean beaver tail tiles - Named for its wide, flat end, some now come with integrated rainwater harvesting channels, directing water into collection systems. We check for water collection systems before cleaning to ensure there's no contamination of your rainwater harvesting system.
We clean concrete slates - These can now mimic not just the look but also the weight of natural slate, thanks to advanced composite materials. Some are designed with UV-resistant coatings to prevent fading. While we clean concrete slate with the same pressure nozzles as real slate, we do so with slightly different techniques to save our client's time, as concrete slate is able to take higher water pressures without risk of cracking.
We clean plain concrete tiles - Simple yet elegant, these can be treated with anti-microbial agents to resist algae growth in humid climates. Plain tiles can also be manufactured with reflective coatings to reduce heat absorption, which is beneficial in hotter climates, and we clean them properly to avoid damaging the coating. Tiles with built-in antifungals are cleaned carefully to avoid erosion.
We clean textured concrete tiles - Textures can mimic not just stone but also wood grains or even abstract patterns, offering a canvas for architectural expression. Beyond aesthetic appeal, some textures are designed to increase friction for snow and ice, reducing the risk of slippage in Seattle's colder months. You'd be surprised about how many roofs in Seattle that look like wood shingles are actually concrete tile! We love cleaning these textured tiles because the results prove the efficiency of our nozzle and pressure settings, as we clean deep into every groove and crevice.
We clean Mission tiles - Modern Mission tiles might include sound-dampening features, reducing noise from rain or hail, which is particularly useful in urban settings. We've been seeing more of these types of roofs in Seattle recently, and love working with them.
We clean shake tiles - Some versions now incorporate real wood fibers into the concrete mix, providing an authentic look with the durability of concrete. While we trust the durability of these shake tiles as a roofing material, we work more carefully to avoid chipping when we clean shake tiles.
We clean tegula and imbrex tiles - Recent innovations include tiles with built-in LED strips for nighttime illumination, turning roofs into light features.
We clean cresting tiles - These decorative ridge tiles can now be custom-designed with family crests or logos, using 3D printing technology for personalization. We've only worked with a few such roofs in the past, and we're proud of our results, as we clean around painted tiles and LED strips to ensure our results are optimal.
We clean ridge and hip tiles - Some ridge and hip tiles are engineered with expandable materials that adjust to minor structural movements, reducing the risk of cracks over time. Our careful concrete roof cleaning techniques also reduce the risk of cracks when cleaning, and the results are a night and day difference.
We clean solar tiles - These tiles integrate photovoltaic cells directly into the tile's surface, providing energy while maintaining the roof's integrity. Some advanced models can adjust their angle slightly to optimize solar capture throughout the day.
We clean decorative tiles - With advancements in material science, these tiles can now change color based on temperature or light exposure, offering dynamic roof aesthetics. But no matter how advanced the color-changing of your decorative tiles can be, they're still prone to black stains and grime from weather exposure. Cleaning decorative tiles is often the most satisfying work we can do because the design shines brilliantly again as intended when we're done.
We clean Monk and Nun tiles - Modern versions might include sound channels within the tile design to enhance acoustic properties, making them ideal for areas near airports or highways. Monk and Nun tiles are another of those types where we've only had the honor to clean them a few times, as they're not as common in Seattle, but our results still speak for themselves.
We clean single lap tiles - Designed for efficiency, some now come with integrated water channels that direct water away from the roof's edge, preventing backflow. We love these types of tiles because the waterflow makes our lives a little easier, but because of this we also recommend gutter cleaning on the same day as the watershed usually means there's more build up of roof debris in your guttering system.
We also clean double lap tiles - These can be manufactured with a layer of phase-change material, which absorbs heat during the day and releases it at night, aiding in temperature regulation. Like single lap tiles, they're design increases watershed, but like any type of concrete tile this doesn't mean they need to be cleaned less often; it's usually just easier to clean them as there's less build up of roof debris to remove.

We clean all special shaped tiles, too!

 

For unique roof features like dormers or turrets, special shaped tiles can be custom-molded with internal reinforcement to handle complex angles and shapes without compromising structural integrity. Our specialized pressure washer nozzle settings are adjusted as needed to ensure the most efficient power cleaning possible for your custom roof tiles. Using the same nozzle type and pressure for every specialized roof tile is like using the same butterknife for every type of screw. By personalizing our cleaning techniques depending on the shape and material of the tile, we optimize our cleaning results and save our clients time and money.

Each type of tile not only serves its functional purpose but also can be tailored for specific environmental challenges or aesthetic preferences, making concrete tiles a versatile choice for modern architecture and hence why they've become more popular in Seattle in recent decades. But like any roofing material, concrete roof tiles also require regular cleaning for maintenance and aesthetic appeal. We work carefully with each type of tile to create a personalized cleaning service, because this brings the best results and the best bang for your buck.

We look forward to getting started on your personalized cleaning experience today!
