This is a concrete cleaning and sealing job we did back in 2006. This Plymouth home owner was tired of the leaf and stick tannin marks and irrigation rust stains that were being left on his cement driveway and sidewalk. After consulting with the home owner, we were both excited about the concrete driveway and walkway cleaning and sealing project.

We performed a complete cement cleaning to remove all the stains and tire marks. We then applied a special cleaner to remove the irrigation rust stains. After allowing the cement to dry for several days we returned to put down a couple coats of concrete sealer. The home owner chose a color to bring out the red in their brick home. The cement sealer will help to protect against staining and prolong the life of the concrete.

They were extremely pleased with the end result and loved the color. We really enjoyed the opportunity to work with this Plymouth, Indiana home owner and were glad we could help.

Here is a deck cleaning and staining job we did in South Bend, Indiana. This deck had an old failing deck sealer on it that had to be removed. This was done using a deck sealer striping agent followed by a low pressure wash to ensure the wood was not damaged. A pH balance process was then executed to brighten the wooden deck and to prepare it for the new deck stain.

After a two day waiting period the moisture content was checked and the deck was ready for a coat of semi-transparent penetrating oil based wood deck sealer.

The sealer was allowed to cure for a couple of days before these South Bend home owners started grilling and enjoying their restored living space.

This is a roof cleaning project that we completed for a home owner in the city of Warsaw. The customer was unsure why his roof was black and was thinking he was looking at an expensive roof replacement. We have found that this is not that uncommon for people to think this and unfortunately some do go to the extent of having their roof replaced prematurely.

Sadly enough some roofing contractors will not educate them that the roof is still in good shape and that it only needs to be cleaned. This may happen because the roofing contractor is not aware a roof can be cleaned or they may be under the misconception that roof cleaning causes damage to roofs. Damage can be done to the shingles only when the wrong cleaning methods are used.

BEFOREAFTER

Fortunately this Warsaw home owner found us before deciding to replace his roof. After educating him that we use the low pressure methods and cleaners recommended by the shingle manufacturers themselves at a fraction of the cost for a complete replacement, he was excited about the cleaning project. The entire roof was cleaned using low pressure methods to restore this roof’s appearance and to ensure this Warsaw home owner gets the full life out of his roof.
