If you have cedar shakes on your roof, you know that they require special care to keep them looking their best. Over time, they can become stained and discolored from dirt, moss, and other debris.

Now, there is a better way. Sullivan Roof Cleaning, Inc. now offers a non-toxic and caustic alternative for cedar shakes roof cleaning. With this citrus-based cleaning solution, all that is required is to apply with a 40 PSI 12V pump spray system, allow dwell time-based on the types of infestations and simply rinse with a garden hose pressure. Our designed runoff system directs all cleaning and rinsing solution off the property. The complete process is done from a ladder, never getting on your roof and causing damage or the potential for slips and falls.

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.

Bruce did a great job cleaning the whole exterior of my house. The roof has new life! It looks practically brand new. All the mold and moss on the roof, on the gutters, under the eaves, completely gone. He exceeded all our expectations. When he tells you what he can do for your house, you can believe and trust him. Great guy, great service.
