Q: How do I maintain a sealed roof?

• <div><p>Inspect annually for damage, clean debris, and reapply sealant to maintain protection.</p></div>

Q: Should I remove icicles from my roof?

• <div><p>In most cases, it&rsquo;s a good idea to leave the icicles on your roof and wait for the warmer weather to melt them away naturally. You should only remove icicles if you believe they&rsquo;re heavy enough to cause damage to your home or anyone who enters it.</p></div>

Q: How often do solar panels need to be cleaned?

• <div><p>You should clean your panels at least twice a year. It depends on your location. In dusty climates (think the Arizona desert), you may need to clean your panels more frequently. Dust can dramatically impact the electrical output. If you live in a climate with extreme weather, you may want to check your panels seasonally.</p></div>

Q: How often should you clean the outside of your home?

• <div><p>Clean the outside of your home at least once a year. If you live in an area with salty sea air, high levels of pollen, or an abundance of leaves in the fall, it's helpful to wash it at least two times a year. Frequent cleanings will allow you to remove debris and pests before they flourish into infestations, or cause mold and mildew.</p></div>

Work was done at a very reasonable price. Came out promptly when he said he would be there. Very good guy to deal with; it was a very easy business transaction. Most important to someone like me who is retired; there were no hidden charges.

He was very educational about the system and how often he should be called. He did a really good job cleaning. He was very clean too. He cleaned up after himself. I would give him top marks all the way through.

Fantastic. Mr. Morse arrived and went straight to cleaning the residues in our chimney. He also adviced us on the proper maintenance and upkeep. He is a delightful gentleman that also provides many services including steeple repair.

"We had a great experience with Shamrock. My husband is an architect and pretty much knew what needed to be done to remove a wood burning stove from our fireplace and restore it to a working fireplace before anyone arrived to give us a quote. We had several contractors come by and try to tack on extra unnecessary add ons using scare tactics. Gary from Shamrock came and not only was he honest about what needed to be done he also assessed that we needed some repair work done to our chimney which my husband already knew had to be done. We were very pleased with the removal of the wood burning stove , the chimney repair and his promptness and professionalism. Honesty goes a long way especially when you are unaware of what the clients knowledge of the situation is. I would highly recommend and ask for Gary. "
