"Rep does not respond to calls, texts, emails. Paid $17,000 upfront after 17 months the required engineers drawing submitted and permit obtained. Concrete footer for screen extension poured (at more than twice estimate). Two fence posts were also replaced. Now told screen and roof price increased $13.000 over orig estimate and rep will not explain what the differences were to justify additional cost. He keeps saying I asked for an upgrade, I did not. After getting him on the phone a couple weeks ago, he asked if he could call me back then no call back. After two weeks, I fired him today and now he wants to charge me for work he billed me for that was not done. His name is Peter Evins. I contacted his superior with North Star at their main office months ago when I could not get a response from Peter. He became upset that I was contacting him although I told him Peter was not answering my communications and for what I had paid out I was anxious about this deal. He basically told me never to contact him again to keep contacting Peter."

Chimney Sweep questions, answered by experts

Roof raking helps clear snowfall from your roof and, in turn, you hope that this prevents ice dams. But can roof raking actually cause them? Generally, no, it cannot. But you should note that while, in some cases, you might successfully prevent ice dams from forming near the edge of your roof by keeping it cleared with a roof rake, they could still form higher up on the roof, where you are unable to reach. This may leave you wondering: Does roof raking prevent ice dams? While it is not a 100% guaranteed way to prevent them, it does help.

It is not advisable to use salt on your roof to prevent or remove ice dams. It’s not only mostly ineffective but can also cause serious damage to your roof itself. Salt can rust metal, damage masonry, pit shingles, and cause runoff that’s damaging to plants and animals. 

If you’re asking yourself, should you pressure wash your roof, the answer almost always is no. The water pressure that the power washing machine generates could damage the shingles by forcing water underneath or causing them to loosen. Soft washing with a pump sprayer is the better and safer option.

The best time to clean the outside of your house is during your outdoor spring cleaning. Wait until late spring, after the wave of pollen is done coating your home. You can also wash your house in late fall–before the first freeze–to remove leaves and branches from the gutters.

For the best chemicals to clean a metal roof, stick to gentle detergents such as dish soap, laundry detergent, or car-wash soap mixed in a diluted solution of ¼ cup of soap to 1 gallon of water. These mild cleansers are safe for most roof finishes but are still strong enough to remove remaining dirt particles. Chemicals like bleach or acids can damage your roof, poison landscaping and grass, and pose a hazard to you and your family. If your roof is very dirty or you think it requires chemical cleaning, call a roof cleaning professional.
