Services
Cedar Roof Cleaning
Our pressure washing removes moss and fungus using 1500-1700 psi equipment without damaging shakes. We use only water, avoiding harsh chemicals while preparing surfaces for preservative application. This process restores roof appearance and prevents wood degradation.
Shake Repairs
We replace rotten, missing, or curled shakes after cleaning. Our technicians identify weak points in roof systems to ensure complete structural integrity before applying protective treatments. This prevents leaks and extends overall roof lifespan.
Wood Preservative Application
We apply Amteco TWP oil-based preservatives that protect against UV damage and fungal growth. The treatment penetrates wood fibers to prevent cracking while maintaining natural aesthetics. Available in multiple color options for customized finishes.
Leak Troubleshooting
Our experts identify leak sources through comprehensive inspections. We check flashing, valleys, and penetrations to diagnose issues. Solutions include targeted repairs and system upgrades to prevent future water intrusion in cedar roofing systems.
Gutter Maintenance
We remove debris from gutters to ensure proper water drainage. This prevents water backup that could damage cedar roofs and fascia boards. Regular maintenance extends the effectiveness of roof restoration treatments.
