Testimonials

What can I say? Bruce and Keith provided an exceptional service, and they are really nice guys too. Found out at the last minute they were in Minneapolis, and they fit me in for a cedar shake roof cleaning the next evening after their regular job was done. Even cleaned up my gutters, small fence, and small deck at no charge. The place looks outstanding! Highly recommended.

I highly recommend this business. Due to the work performed we are going to get another 10-14 years out of our cedar shake roof. We were told by some roofing companies that the roof should be replaced in 2 years. I lucked out and found Sullivan Roof Cleaning while researching companies that perform this service, and was pleased to learn that the company does work outside of Iowa. If you need your cedar shakes cleaned, go with Sullivan Roof Cleaning.

Why is a Clean Cedar Roof Important?

Discover with Bruce

Arlington Heights Illinois has the perfect climate for moss and fungus to grow, not only do they look unaesthetic, if you do not look after and maintain your cedar shakes correctly then they will not last the average 40 to 60 years!  If not then the life span is severely reduced and the roof will need fixing and replacing much earlier than otherwise necessary.
It is advisable to get a professional such as Sullivan Cedar Shake Roof Cleaning in Arlington Heights Illinois, to take care of your cedar shake cleaning needs, this ensures the highest quality work, no damage to your existing shakes, and a roof that looks as good as new. Cedar Shake Roofs are expensive to install and often have a higher insurance cost than another roof of a similar size but even with those two points in mind Cedar Shake Roofs have many benefits that outweigh the relatively few downsides, and these are boosted by cleaning.

Life Span of 40 - 60 Years

A Cedar Shake Roof will last a long time, depending on the grade of the cedar, but it does need to be looked after and cleaned about once every 10 years or so. If the roof is neglected then it will need replacing before which will incur a huge amount of unnecessary costs.

Eco-Friendly

Cedar Shakes are a naturally renewable and sustainable resource that is also organic matter. They also last longer than other materials and can be composted once no longer in use. Ensuring they stay in optimal condition will help to reduce the impact on the environment.

Maintain Temperatures

A cedar shake roof that is not maintained will lose some of its natural ability to hold an abient temperature. They allow the home to breath, to stay cool in the summers, and help to keep them warmer in the winters. If the cedar shakes become damaged, degraded, or generally fall into disrepair then all of this is lost.

Family, Pet, & Garden Friendly

The formula is specially created and offers maximum efficiency for cleaning of cedar shake roofs whilst being harmless to those most important to you.

Prevents Damage

Keep the roof in the best condition possible by keeping your Cedar Shakes clean and free of organic material. We also use ladders rather than walking on the roof.

Restore Natural Beauty

Bring your Cedar Shakes back to their original look and color, while also increasing their longevity.
