Chuck Bergman Pressure Washing and Gentle Manufacturer Specified Roof Cleaning.
I started out as just a pressure washing business here in Charlotte County Florida in 1989 and although we don't use pressure to clean roofing, we do pressure clean houses, pool areas, decking and concrete surfaces daily.
For concrete, we have a special machine called a
"Flat Surface Cleaner" or Cement Surface Cleaner"
You will see me using this machine on driveways and sidewalks in my home page slideshow and on my Flickr photos link, below.

Pressure Washing Of House Exteriors
With proper maintenance, your home can grow in value while being a
source of pride for you and your family. Chuck Bergman Pressure
Cleaning is a pressure washing contractor who services Charlotte and
Sarasota County Florida and provides cleaning services to homeowners who
wish to restore and protect their greatest investment -- their home.
Keeping the exterior of your home clean can do more than just make your
house more appealing. It can also increase its value and extend the life
of the products used to cover the outside of your home, which can save
you thousands of dollars in repair costs. House washing services are
very affordable, especially when you consider the benefits of pressure
washing your home in terms of future savings for home maintenance.
You can certainly attempt to power wash your home yourself, but If you
do not have the proper equipment, know which cleaning products are right
for the job, or know how to safely operate a power washer without
causing damage to your home, it may be in your best interest to hire a
licensed and insured cleaning contractor instead.
Cleaning Vinyl or Aluminum Siding
Vinyl siding cleans up with very little pressure needed. However,
certain steps should be taken to ensure the work lasts for extended
periods of time. One of the misconceptions about pressure washing houses
covered with vinyl siding is that a simple cleansing is all that's
required. This is not true and if your main reason for cleaning the
house is to remove mildew, then you will soon find out that simply
Pressure Washing The House was only a temporary fix as the mildew will
usually return within under a year, especially in our warm, damp
climate, here in SW Florida.
To keep the siding looking new for longer periods of time, a wax mix can
be added to the cleaning process which will help the vinyl resist the
growth of mildew as well as reduce the amount of dirt that sticks to the
siding. Adding the wax as a 3rd step in the cleaning process will save
you money in the long run.It will also protect the vinyl siding from the
outdoor Florida elements. No different than applying wax to your car to
protect the finish. You wouldn't want to skip that step for too long or
the finish will start to look discolored and everything that touches it
sticks, that is the same thing that happens to your home.
Not just any wax mixture is beneficial. With our 23 years experience
here in Charlotte and Sarasota County Florida, in the pressure cleaning
business, we have obtained the best formula, for each individual home's
exterior!
If you think you will want wax applied, ask us for a price when you call, so we can bring the wax & applicator jet.
Most wax applications cost about $40.00 extra.
Cleaning for Concrete Driveways, Walkways and Sidewalks
Cleaning concrete is one of the tasks that can change your "Curb Appeal"
quite literally! Concrete is very porous which allows dirt and other
debris to bed deep into the concrete, resulting in a situation where
high powered commercial pressure washing machines, as well as
professional concrete cleaning machines are the only sure means of
removal.
Pool Decks & Screened Enclosures
Pool areas can definitely be safely and effectively cleaned. Not only
can the nasty cobwebs and bug debris be cleaned from the nylon mesh, but
also the green & black mildew / fungus and algae can be removed
from the metal framework as well.
Our father and son "ONLY" business, licensed and insured to clean in
Charlotte and Sarasota County Florida, accomplis this cleaning task with
low to medium pressure by using special "long reach" wands, when
needed, along with pressure adjusting valves and tips. Carefully "water
sweeping" the mesh clean of debris after using a mild chemical solution
to dissolve the organic mold and algae staining right off the metal
frame's surface. It's as safe and easy as that!
Roof Cleaning
Undoubtedly, the roof is the most expensive portion of your home!
WARNING! Roofing should not be cleaned with the use of a pressure
washer!
The roofing manufacturers themselves have given specific instructions on
their websites, on how to properly clean their roofing materials and
all say one thing in common
"DO NOT PRESSURE WASH ROOFING"
Read directly from a number of manufacturer links here on our website.
You may be shocked, if you have been considering allowing anyone to use a pressure washer
on your roof!
