Why You Should Never Pressure Wash Your Shingle Roof

This homeowner had their roof pressured washed.  During our inspection, we discovered approximately 80% granule loss, nail pops, and other signs of an older roof.  We replaced the roof with the CertainTeed Shingle system in Hunter Green.  The homeowner was so happy with their new roof!
