Pro Roof Cleaning | No Harmful Pressure or Bleach

Bleaching (Softwashing) a homes roof is an extremely old school method of cleaning a roof. I know alot of the newer roof cleaning businesses here in the Green Bay area are still using bleach as the cleaning agent. Roof cleaning businesses such as Pioneer use this extremely irresponsible and outdated method in the cleaning of their customers roofs. That’s fine and dandy. I have numerous friends in the roof cleaning trade that despise Pioneer soft wash because they are extremely dishonest about the use of bleach on customers homes. I have gone to several residential homes where the homeowner is furious with Pioneer because they killed alot of the landscaping around their homes. I would never tell a customer this, because they feel bad enough. The truth is that the eco-system around their home is now infected with toxic a chemical, chloride bleach. Ive heard the following from numerous Pioneer customers. The person who bids the work for Pioneer softwash trys to sell the fact that “chloride bleach ” is completely safe, and would never damage landscaping, plants, shrubs, lawns… The simplest way to put this is that “He’s a damn lier”. Modern-day homes should not be subject to the dangerous practice of spraying hundreds of pounds of bleach onto a customers roof. What is almost comical about this Softwashing method is that now they now try and catch all of the bleach that is running down the roof, and is killing anything in it’s path. If you don’t have much experience and knowledge about the nuances of safe roof cleaning, this trade can be dangerous. To catch the toxic bleach that is running downward, and into the drainage system (gutters/downspout),they put plastic bags at the ends of the gutters, catching maybe two-thirds (2/3) of the bleach. The other 1/3 is going to find at least a little of the landscaping around your home. That’s if their lucky. I speak from experience when I say that bleaching a homes roof prematurely ages shingles. The toxic bleach is very strong, and it will leave your roof spotless.

However, all that bleach takes it’s toll on the shingles longevity. At least some of these shingles will start prematurely curling on the edges, and others may start to prematurely crack. The shingle manufacturer’s are all for bleach cleaning roofs. That’s because as these bleached roofs prematurely fail, they’ll sell more shingles. Before starting Pro roof cleaning and AAA Professional in 1997, I was supervisor for roof cleaning businesses in Minneapolis, then Los Angeles. We used this dangerous, old-school method. Let me be clear, I was just following orders when I would bleach clean one of our customers homes. When I decided to start my own businesses in 1997, can 100% honestly tell you that we were their was no way in hell I was going to bleach my customers homes. #1 – I would get sued at some point. #2 to use this old-school way of roof cleaning, you need to be dishonest with the customers. Let’s face it (and I am sure Pioneer softwash is well aware of this fact), If customers actually knew that hundreds of pounds of toxic chloride bleach would be sprayed onto their homes roof, nobody would hire them.

Anyway, he had a bunch of these softwash (bleach using) business owners that despise the more responsible, non-chemical roof cleaning businesses. Especially if they try to get the truth out there so that the citizens of Green Bay and the surrounding area can make an informed choice. That I’d all I want to happen. The department of agriculture reprimanded Pioneer’s softwash system of bleaching residential homes here in Green bay. I have a copy of everything they were being forced to do now. That included that they have on the FRONT PAGE that this roofcleaning business uses 70% bleach in their solutions. That was a couple years ago. Do you think they followed orders, hell no, and it’s because this bleach wash method is much faster to complete, so much more money is brought in. People just love the way “softwashing” sounds. It’s misleading. Softwashing something, anything, means you are using toxic and dangerous chloride bleach to clean surfaces rather than harmless low pressure. The low pressure I use at Pro roof cleaning is just enough to get lichen, algae, fungi, moss, and various other growths off of your roof without taking off the shingles granulars. That’s because an eco-friendly, biodegradable solution will be introduced first to irradiate growths, then, using very low pressure, I walk the roof and simply rinse the roof down so all growths are gone. Your roof is beautiful again! But wait, there’s more!! At Pro roof cleaning, I go a step further. Because the great people of Green bay have given me the opportunity to be self employed for more than 25 years, I also now block each and every roof surface I clean. I also guarantee each surface I clean and block for 7 years. If the growths somehow reappear let’s say 4 years later, I will come back and re-clean and re-block it for free. Listen, these thugs at Pioneer had some of their buddies leave me 1 star reviews on Google and Birdseye. Business owners can write anything they like about companies that they compete with. Now, I don’t have employees. I bid and do all work. Because I keep things small, and clean roofs right, I am in high demand. If I clean a roof a home’s roof in a neighborhood, I usually end up doing 3-4 more. I am not intending to put another roof cleaning company out of business, I would like to pull back the curtain on these bleaching businesses that are deceitful to their own customers.

You know, I expressed my concerns to OSHA maybe 6-7 years ago when Pioneer was starting out. I knew they were using bleach because several customers had wanted me to redo parts of the roof. They were sometimes complaining about their shrubs or plants dieing. It was very clear to me, from experience what was happening. OSHA instructed me to follow Pioneer to one of their customers homes where they’d be working. I was then supposed to call in to them the address. Then they would go to that address test their solutions for bleach. I refused to cooperate that way. I knew damn well that the home owner where the inspection took place could potentially be bankrupted by the cost of the clean-up at his residence. I could not do that to anyone.

When you first hear the term “Softwashing”, you picture a roof being cleaned safely with a magical solution that gets roofs looking great with zero pressure. Don’t you think that all roof cleaners would be using this remarkable product? The reason that most responsible roof cleaning experts don’t softwash the roofs of their customers is because #1 It would put their customers in alot of trouble financially because when a business like Pioneer Softwash uses bleach to clean your roof, alot of that bleach is going to get on the landscaping, lawn, plants……. that exist around home. Bleach was designed originally to kill all algae, fungi, mold……. it touches. M and it does that. The problem is that it also kills everything else it touches such as flowers plants, landscaping….. Bleach cleaners, or softwashers, will never tell their customers that they are going to be using a toxic chemical to get their roof clean. They would literally have no customers, NONE. They assume that they are smarter than the customer, and will easily fool them in order to get their money. They do this by mixing a flowery deoderizor into the 75% bleach solution. They also use this in their “solution” so that you can not detect the bleach. They water down everything around your home so I an attempt to not kill things around your home.

Did you know that the department of agriculture reprimanded Pioneer softwash for their cleaning methods (bleaching) . All employees were retrained on how to properly clean roofs. That would be usng only eco-friendly solutions like the safe wash products Ive been using since 1997 when I started my business. The reason Ive lasted this long in a very competitive marketplace is because Ive never used toxic bleach on my homes. I complained to OSHA that Pioneer Softwashing was endangering the customers here in Green bay. The few OSHA employees that are based out of Green Bay are extremely busy. However, Pioneer softwash was on their radar because of the run in they had with the deofagriculture. They told me to follow them around, and report to them the address at which they were working. They could then stop by that residence, and check the solutions they were using. If toxic bleach is present (their solutions are actually 75% bleach) they could be shut down permanently.

I don’t have time to do that. I am the sole proprietor for Proroofcleaning. I am a very popular guy this time of year. Customers love the fact that I do all bidding and all the work for Pro Roof Cleaning. I keep my business small so that it will be more personable for the customer, and every roof will safely get done right the first time. I have 26 years experience, and have seen just about everything. 🙂

FYI- If Pioneer, window genie, or any other “softwashing” (bleach cleaning business” is caught cleaning your roof, it is the property owner that is responsible for the clean-up of the damaged eco-system around your home.

Since Pioneer has popped up on the roof cleaning scene a few years ago, there have been potential customers whom have requested quoted from both businesses. I am completely forthcoming and transparent with all products that will be utilized on your roof. Meanwhile, they advertise that they utilize biodegradable and environmentally friendly products. This is true, in that 50% of the concoction sprayed onto your roof is what they claim. The problem lies in the other 50%, which is pure and toxic chloride bleach. Why do they not tell customers about that 50%? Would you want your roof washed with toxic bleach! The department of agriculture made them warn this fact. Where did they put this vital information that customers might want to know about? In tiny print on a back page of his website. If you read his description of how Pioneer cleans roofs on his site, notice he does not warn his potential customers that he uses chloride bleach, a toxic chemical to clean roofs. Nor does he warn potential customers that property owners, and nor the business, can be fined as much as 50,000.00 per day by the Environmental protection agency to clean up the toxic damage. That means you, not him. The fact that he does not warn customers at the very LEAST, compelled me to warn the people for him. Of coarse he resented me for warning potential customers whom were looking to have their roof cleaned by either business. He is now slandering myself and my business in a very unprofessional manner. I am a one man show, and do not like the employee aspect of running a business. For this reason, I keep my business small. I am for this reason also always busy, and am certainly not desperate for customers. I do very good work, and have 25 years of roof cleaning experience, which of coarse helps as well. I did not warn customers about him using bleach in some way to get work away from him. I do not need to do that to keep very busy. I did this because he refused to do it on his own, and chose rather to try and fool the roof cleaning customers. That was upsetting to me, and I pointed it out so people could make an informed decision on if they want their roof cleaned with STRICTLY eco-friendly solutions, or with a 50% toxic bleach solution. I have been cleaning roofs in Green bay since 1996. First rule in my book has always been, “Take care of your customers and they will take care of you!”. To me, he was only worried about making money for his business, and not worried what so ever about the customers. That really bothered me. That is why I addressed it here. Thank you for reading.

Pro roof cleaning is your safe alternative to a bleaching technique called softwashing. EPA and OSHA strongly discourage these techniques, and can levy fines for this practice, which contaminates our environment. Be a small part of the solution (clean responsibly) and not part of the problem. Thank you

Let’s take an honest look at the distinct differences between Pioneer softwash vs. Pro roof cleaning. They use toxic bleach instead of low pressure to clean roofs. This puts homeowner’s at risk!! If you were to ask Jesse at Pioneer if this were true, or is this just jibberish by a competitor? He would tell you that he uses all bio and ecofriendly solutions, just like Pro roof cleaning. However, here is the startling difference between the two roof cleaning businesses. After I show you all of the eco and bio-friendly solutions that are to be used to clean your roof, that is all that will be used to gently and safely clean your roof. On the other hand, after Pioneer shows you the eco and bio-friendly solutions he will use, there is then a toxic amount of bleach added to his CONCOCTION that makes 0 pressure roof cleaning possible!

I welcome the truth, as I’ve worked too hard over the past 24 years to have “roof cleaning” be the safe alternative to roof replacement. We do not want or need some Johnny come lately company to come along and screw up the roof cleaning industry in our community by using toxic bleach on homeowner’s roofs, then covering it up! It is totally irresponsible, reckless, deceptive, and is strictly a money grab to practice this dangerous roof cleaning method. If you run across this roof cleaning business, or mine for that matter, ask if you may see the inside’s to each of our trailers in order to see if toxic bleach is going to be used. Oh, by the way, also in use is a deodorizer that is added to his CONCOCTION. The sole purpose for this addition is to cover up the distinct odor of toxic bleach! It is a very dangerous coverup to a very dangerous way to clean a homes roof. As a home owner, you want to take precautions. Allowing the use of bleach for exterior cleaning on your property can leave you susceptible to huge fines. It can also lead to the demise of your landscaping, your pets, even your loved ones. Bleach is a toxic and deadly chemical, and should never, ever be used no matter at what ratio for external cleaning around your home!! My name is Tom Ward, and I own and operate Pro roof cleaning. All I ask from each and every potential customer is to ask questions, and seek the TRUTH on how each roof cleaning business goes about getting roofs clean. Remember, “no pressure roof cleaning” can only mean bleach will be used. Wet and forget works on a similar strategy as bleach cleaning. Different is, wet and forget takes several weeks, and several powerful rains to see a difference. Bleach cleaning a roof will get immediate results. Now why doesn’t the product “wet and forget” add bleach to it’s CONCOCTION for more expeditious and thorough results? Because they are not stupid, and fully recognize that they would be sued out of business in months by being so reckless and irresponsible!! If a cleaning business makes false claims of “safe alternative to power washing, or “exclusive softwash system”, this is code for bleach, bleach, bleach!! Get a free quote from Pro and Pioneer. Consider both roof cleaning techniques. Make it clear you want to see ALL additives to the solutions going onto your roof. Ask if we will both open up our individual trailers so you can view any possible hidden compartments of bleach! I welcome this comparison, my competitor will not, and now you know why!!! Thank you for reading about the truths and lies that are prevalent in the roof cleaning trade. I’ve been cleaning roofs in the Green bay area for 24 years now. In that time, I’ve seen many roof cleaning businesses come and go. I’ve managed to stick around because I understand that there are no short cuts in this trade. The use of toxic bleach is the most often used short cut. Businesses that utilize this shortcut always go out of business because they are sued multiple times by multiple home owners. They lick their wounds and onto the next town. I live and own a roof cleaning business here in Green bay. I practice my trade responsibly, and with the home owners wants and needs at the forefront, and not my own. That is why I have had a thriving business for so long. I know that it is the customers that make it possible for me to be self employed. That is why I treat each customer with respect and appreciation. I would and will never do anything to to violate the trust my customers have bestowed upon myself and my business. Thanks to all of you, and I would like very much the chance to earn your trust, and your business.

Best regards,

PRO ROOF CLEANING: OWNER DOES ALL WORK; 25 YEARS EXPERIENCE; FULLY INSURED; NO BLEACH. WE ARE AN ECO-FRIENDLY BUSINESS 🙂!!

Exclusive “roof cleaning” businesses that also clean everything else under the sun aren’t exclusive. If its claims are true that their system cleans anything and everything, it would have to include a strong mixture of bleach or pool shock. You do not want to have your roof cleaned by the same concoction that also cleans aluminum, tile, driveways, stadiums, pools……. What this clearly is is a startling admission of using pool shock or bleach, and passing it off as an exclusive softwash system. When a cleaning business tries to sell you an exclusive cleaning system that in actuality includes bleach or pool shock, they are opening the homeowner up to huge fines levied by either OSHA, the EPA, or the DNR. These agencies take the use of toxic chemicals being used for exterior cleaning very seriously. They do not go after the small business doing the cleaning, they go after the owner of the property. These fines can be as high as 50,000.00 a day. I personally would be wary of any roof cleaning business that also cleans pools, aluminum, bathrooms, playground equipment…… When a cleaning business overreaches like this, it means they specialize in nothing. They have gotten greedy, and want their fingers into everything. What this ultimately does is made them a master of nothing. You want to hire a roof cleaning business that specializes strictly in roof cleaning. Anything else is a watered down version of a service provider. At Pro roof cleaning, the cleaning of roofs is all I do. I have been specializing in strictly roof cleaning for 24 years. Call for a free estimate. I would be happy to stop out and explain to you in person my process. There is never toxic bleach or pool shock used at Pro roof cleaning. Eco and bio friendly solutions are strictly used. There will also never be harmful pressure used, but instead only a hard, hot water rinse. This is the way to get a roof cleaned safely that utilizes only the best solutions and techniques. Do not hire an amateur to clean your homes roof. Go with a pro. Pro roof cleaning is a roof cleaning only small business located in Green bay Wi. I will be only person you will deal with. That is because I do all bidding, all work, and all follow up for Pro roof cleaning. I’ve tried employees in the past, and I found that a really decent employee can be hard to find. The quality of work is never as good as when the owner does the work himself. Roof cleaning is a very unique trade. It takes many years of experience to understand all of the,possible issues that pop up. Each roof is different, so you want a pro, the owner himself to do the work. My competitor is using a CONCOCTION of eco friendly solutions (which is great!). Thats what he will show you. What he won’t show you is the amount of toxic bleach that is added as well! Anywhere from 30% to 40% bleach!! That is not what you want on your property. One, you can be fined up to 50,000.00 per day for toxic bleach usage of that quantity!

Two) It is dangerous for children and pets! They try to catch all of the bleach as it comes off of the roof through the gutters. They can’t can’t catch all of it. So what they don’t catch goes into the ecosystem around your home. Because of his irresponsible and dangerous business practices, people in Green bay are at risk. I’ve been a roof cleaner for 24 years now. I made this alternative to roof replacement available 24 years ago. It was the spring of 1996 when I started. At first, I too made alot of mistakes. It took years to understand what to do in every situation. Like I said, every roof is a little different, and growths have progressed uniquely on every roof. In my 24 years of roof cleaning here in Green bay, I’ve seen many roof cleaning businesses come and go. A few have made it, and good for them! But alot have not made it, and that’s because they tried to cut corners, and spray a toxic bleached based concoction on the roof from the edge of the roof. They have killed pets, lawns and landscaping. Then they get sued, and for then its onto the next town. I have made the department of agriculture aware of this businesses practices. This business is now under investigation. Don’t hire this business, and put you and your family at risk. If you are sceptical, I understand. If you go to softwashsystems.com, You will see Pioneer softwashes truck, business cards flyers…. prominently displayed on this website. This site is a big proponent of the use of bleach to clean roofs. If you go to the chemicals page, you can see for yourself the percentage of bleach used on roofs. It’s shocking, 30% to 40% toxic bleach! This could, and has changed the colors of roofs. It could kill a pet the might drink the runoff. The ecosystem around your house is never the same. It takes years for the bleach spilled or not caught to make it’s way down into the ground far enough so it’s no longer a hazard. I have purchased recently a new softwash roof cleaning trailer that wash made just to clean roofs. The pump in this trailer is not capable of alot of pressure, but I don’t need a lot of pressure. What it does produce is 8 gallons of water spray per minute. That is uniquely high, and because it’s the volume, and not the pressure, its completely safe. I can show you the trailer when I stop by for the estimate. The trailer has a boiler that produces heated water up to 200 degrees. This heated water is used for the hard rinse (softwashing) once all growths have been eradicated. How ever, I’ve learned through many years of experience that there is always some stubborn growths that refuse to die. That’s why the hot water rinse is so important. It kills on contact any stubborn growth that survived the original cleaning. Never hire a roof cleaning business that uses bleach, or doesn’t have the hot water hard rinse capability. My new roof cleaning trailer was built to be the ultimate roof cleaning machine. It makes my job so much easier and less time consuming so my prices are still the same. I am a long time BBB and Christian directory member. I am fully insured and bonded, and I don’t use pressure to clean, only eco and bio-friendly solutions along with a safe hot water rinse. Customers are often shocked when they see their new roof! There are a few exceptions, but almost always there is a beautiful and new looking roof under all the mold, lichen, fungi and moss. My prices are always very fair. I know that it is the customers that allow me to be self employed. I DO ALL WORK, so the roof cleaning done on your home will turn out beautifully, or there is no charge! That’s how confident I am with my techniques. The “exclusive softwash system” business in our town of Green bay has to buy bleach by the truckload, and bleach isn’t cheap. This is why his prices are so high. I have never talked openly this way about another business. However, when the business owner lies’to the customers about the amount of toxic bleach he has his employees use to clean roofs, I’ve feel that I need to warn them. I can tell you that he has not been in the roof cleaning business very long. My fear is that he is going to at some point in the near future kill someone’s pet or child. His cleaning methods are soo dangerous and irresponsible. That would then hurt all roof cleaners, because it will make everyone very sceptical about having their roof cleaned. We are not all that reckless and irresponsible. I suggest you get two separate estimates. I would like to he obe of them. I will be the only one you’ll ever have to talk to. I will show you my roof cleaning solutions and explain in detail how I get roofs so clean. You will see my roof cleaning trailer, and then know that I am truly committed to my trade. I invest in the best equipment which allows me to be more efficient so I can charge less. I don’t need to spend a ridiculous amount of money buying toxic bleach. If a roof cleaning business is going to clean with bleach, they then should at least tell the customers what’s really going on, so they can make a more informed decision. When you read or hear about a “no pressure cleaning” business, think bleach! Don’t let them fool you.

I would like to thank you for taking time to read the above. I just felt the need to warn everybody that might hire this business. He’s reckless, dangerous, and totally irresponsible. But most if all, he is greedy. They claim to be able to clean anything under the sun. Pools, stadiums, aluminum…… Common sense will tell you that if there was a product that could clean things perfectly, and with no pressure, it would be sold out at every fleetfarm, menards, and home depot in town. Thank you again for your attention to this problem. I don’t want anyone to be sick or even die because of a reckless and greedy roof cleaner. That would be terrible, and it would certainly impact the roof cleaning trade in our town. My name is Tom Ward, and I own Pro roof cleaning. I hope to hear from you soon.
