Roof Cleaning, Pressure Washing, Concrete Driveways,

About us

I have been in business here in Charlotte and S. Sarasota Counties since 1989 I AM ONE OF THE FEW "CERTIFIED" ROOF CLEANERS IN THE WHOLE STATE!-- http://roof-cleaning-institute.activeboard.com/f523639/roof-cleaning-englewood-fl/ Please enter the video links etc into your address bar, to watch them. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GNX4h0tWvQU http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q5cOTrfGzvU What you see in the above videos, is all that is done to clean roofs 100%. A pressure washing machine is never started up during the cleaning process and never should be. It's a simple 1 part, self cleaning application of roofing manufacturer specified cleaning agents. Many manufacturers say specifically "Do Not Pressure Wash" Be wise and stick with the roofing manufacturers only specified cleaning chemicals - Bleach, soap and water. Plus only use those same manufacturers specific Non-Pressure chemical cleaning on your roof! Pressure Washing Your Roof Could Void The Manufacturer's Warranty + Damage it! Here is also a video of us cleaning a tile roof. No roof should be blasted with a 3000 to 4000 lb [psi] pressure washer! Especially since no pressure at all is needed! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WPCtVUu3Si0&feature=plcp At Chuck Bergman Roof Cleaning and Pressure Washing, clearly we do all types of pressure cleaning and have done so since 1989 here in Charlotte & Southern Sarasota County. We just don't pressure clean roofing, because it is the wrong way to clean a roof. It causes too much wear & damage. The roofing manufacturer links below all say to use this method. They all also say specifically "DO NOT PRESSURE WASH" {GAF Roofing Manufacturer} http://georgoulisroofing.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/Algae_Staining_on_Shingled_Roof_Surfaces_-_Steep_Slope_Techn-43-808-v3.pdf {CORNING Roofing Manufacturer} Click number 1 "algae growth" http://roofing.owenscorning.com/homeowner/thingsyoushouldknow/needaroof.aspx {ARMA Roofing Manufacturer Association Cleaning Bulletin} http://www.asphaltroofing.org/algae-discoloration-roofs This roofing manufacturer association also says not to allow anyone to apply any roof coatings, meant to deter the re-growth of algae. One reason they give, is none have proven successful. This is a common sales gimmick. Usually pressure washing companies-not roof cleaning companies-will pressure wash your roof and then sell you an after coating, which they want to walk your roof and reapply every 2 years. 2 Years is the length of the after-coating warranty. That's because most roofs stay clean at least that long anyway. However, roofs cleaned properly, without a pressure washer, usually only need cleaning every 3-4 years-almost double that of a power wash job! Product names like Roof-A-this and Roof-A-That , Roof Armer Coat etc {Names changed} are after coatings. The below link from This roofing manufacturer association, warns not to allow after-coatings. http://www.asphaltroofing.org/sites/default/files/tech-bulletin/tb_227.pdf Call for a free firm price quote. 941-698-1959

Called to get estimate. Father called back finally after three calls. Son came and did the job and was very nice. It was the Friday afterThanksgiving. Son did a good job cleaning roof and the driveway. They both looked good. Before he did the cleaning I asked if he was going to cover my plants. He said since I had gutters that it was not needed. He did water some of the plants after the cleaning. Then about a week later my triple palm in front was brown as was my crown of thorn and some bushes. My weeping hibiscus tree also took a hit. I told the son when he was here that I almost did not use them because they did not call back. He said yes he had told his father that was not good business. So first of Dec I left a message and asked that they come and look at my landscape. I never received a call back. Well they have not called back after I have left another message. Since the father did not call back when I wanted cleaning done, I figured I would not receive a call since not I have an issue. The receipt says to water where you do not have gutters. I have gutters all around my house, and was told my plants would be fine. I have never written a bad review before. I was hopeful we could work something out as I liked the son. Obviously this is not how you should do business. I would not use this company unless you do not have any landscaping and you do not need to talk to them again. It is in fortunate that they did not call back.

Description of Work: Mr. Bergman's son Don came and pressure washed the soffits, exterior walls of my house using a solution to clean and control new mold from returning. He was quick but thorough, polite, friendly and very knowledgeable.

Response from Chuck Bergman Pressure Washing
Thank you very much! Not many people bother to leave a review / comment, if all is well. Most comments are complaints. I'm not saying I have complaints, I only know of 2 in 29 years, but I think you understand. A homeowner, unhappy with a contractor, is more likely to take the action of commenting, than a homeowner who feels they got what they paid for. Check Angies List out and you will see, of all the comments, by far, the most are unhappy - and that's with the "supposed" screening of Angie's List! You may as well just do a Google search for Roof Cleaner Port Charlotte Florida etc etc etc

I am new to the area. I use Angie's List for everything. So far so good. I called a pressure washing service that was recommended by the list. The man explained that he was in the middle of a very large job that would tie him up for months but he offered a suggestion. That being Chuck Bergman. I called Chuck, explain what I needed and asked for an estimate. The next day Chuck called back gave me the estimate. I said yes. He said they could show up in two days. As promised, Chuck's son showed up on time. We walked around the home and he explained what he was going to do. He asked me to remove any items on the patio made of cloth (4 chairs & a rug). He first covered all the shrubs and ferns and then went to work. I was amazed at the results. Well worth the money. I highly recommend this family owend business to everyone. I will use them again.
Description of Work: The entire house was pressure washed. The roof, the outside walls, the lanai cage, the pool deck, the sidewalk and the driveway. Everything was treated with a chlorine/chemical mix. After a few minutes it was washed off. The dirt and mildew just melted away.

Response from Chuck Bergman Pressure Washing
Thank You SO MUCH for the great review! Incidentally, the roof was not pressure washed [most homeowners call it all pressure cleaning] The roofing manufacturers all say "DO NOT PRESSURE WASH ROOFING" I do have a website and quite a strong internet presence. My website, with the manufacturer quotes and links *If you do a Google Search for "Roof Cleaning or Pressure Washing Charlotte County, or Port Charlotte, Venice, Englewood, Rotonda, North Port, Punta Gorda, Sarasota" etc you will find me online on the 1st page of Google. Again, thank you so very much for taking the time to give me such a fine, positive review! Chuck Bergman Here is a quote from some roofing manufacturers and their roofing association about NOT PRESSURE WASHING ROOFS.***************** FIRST OFF, TO MAKE IT SIMPLE. THESE ARE THE RECOMMENDATIONS FROM THE ROOFING MANUFACTURERS WHO SUPPLY YOUR WARRANTY AND MAKE YOUR ROOFING: From GAF Roofing Manufacturers about black algae removal: "If a new roof is not an option, GAF recommends cleaning the roof with a special mixture. That mixture is:" 'bleach and TSP' "What NOT To Do! Do not power wash the shingles to clean the shingles. Some roof cleaning companies offer this service. However, it is not recommended." From ARMA roofing manufacturers Association-how to clean roofing. "Algae discolorations to remove from roofing surfaces, applying a solution of chlorine bleach, trisodium phosphate, and water. Solutions for these ingredients depend on the amount of discoloration. Solutions range to one cup TSP and 2.5 gallons each of bleach and water. Caution! High pressure washing systems for algae removal should not be used." From Owens Corning Roofing Manufacturers : "USE CHLORINE and TSP" "DO NOT USE A PRESSURE WASHER" This one from the ARMA says not to allow anyone to apply any *after coating* such as Algaecides, Fungicides, Copper, Zinc, or other Roof treatments - not anything! Now my ad: I AM 100% ALL FOR GOING GREEN! As Soon as a roofing manufacturer lists a green product as safe on their websites, I will put it on your roof. Right now none do, It's your property and your roofing warranty, I have no right to use you as a "test" project. The only 100% Green method known to me, is power washing the roof with no chemicals, just water. A roof will sometimes come clean "looking" just by blasting the algae off. The algae was not chemically killed, so after pressure washing, the roof is still coated in living algae spores, which continue to grow strong and turn black again in under a year. Of course, that pressure also takes years off the life of your roof and may well void your roof's warranty, but it is 100% environmentally friendly, at first glance. First glance? Yes, nothing will ruin a roof faster than pressure washing it, so if you you look at the long term picture, you are adding to the asphalt / tar, in the landfills, as roofs need replacing at half life. That's not eco-friendly at all, just expensive for you! Other than chlorine, as suggested my the manufacturers of the roofing, who knows what chemicals are used to make a new so called "green" roof cleaning mix? We do know chlorine though! We drink it in our faucet water, soak in it in our showers and swim in it in our pools. It is bio-degradable and after applying it to a roof, it reverts back to what it was made from-common salt. The photos below show some roofs we have cleaned with the only roofing manufacturer approved chemical, chlorine / water and a small amount of TSP.
