"I hired this company to clean my fireplace and install a cap ($450) and clean the heating/cooling system ($1727). Due to my work schedule, I was unable to obtain an explanation of the work done when it was completed & trusted the workmanship of these people and paid over the phone before inspecting my home. Before these people arrived to my home, I had just painted the entire interior of my home: walls, ceilings, frames, doors, etc. Long story short, these people are dirty, sloppy, careless and straight up disrespectful of homes, time and money. I had scratches on my ceiling, molding, doors, walls and had my painter come back to fix their ineptitude. They offered to use my paint and come touch up what they wrecked which is a complete joke. The painter charged me $220; with much distress and difficulty, I was able to obtain $120 from these people to pay the painter. No, they did not pay the entire touch up cost. Seriously, these people are quick to charge big money claiming professionalism and super cheap when having to pay for repairs they cause. Lesson of the story: hire a bad handyman. You’ll get the same sloppy job buy at a smaller cost."

Chimney Sweep questions, answered by experts

To keep your PVC roof in top condition, keep it clear of debris, ensure drainage systems are working properly, and inspect it for damage regularly. Keeping the roof clear of ponding water, sharp debris, and other hazards will prevent damage. Have your roof inspected by a professional once a year to ensure the seams aren’t damaged or separated—faulty seams can lead to destructive water intrusion.

Walking on the roof to clean gutters is unsafe. If you do your own gutter cleaning, use a ladder to reach the gutters rather than climbing on your roof. Walking on the roof is dangerous, especially if it has rained recently or if there are fallen leaves. You can also damage your shingles when walking on them, which can lead to water leaks.

Keep in mind that using a ladder has its risks, too. It can be difficult to keep your balance while doing the labor-intensive work of cleaning gutters. For safety reasons, hiring a pro to clean your gutters is the best choice.

Vinegar, bleach, chlorine, barley straw, and a bevy of dedicated algaecides can kill algae, which is the easy part. Preventing algae from returning can be a struggle for some homeowners, but keeping the patio well-maintained and clean is a good first step.

Yes, moss can be dangerous for your roof if left in place to grow without treatment. The moss soaks up and holds moisture. Having a constantly damp roof could lead to problems with rot for the parts of the roof that consist of wood. Additionally, a patch of thick moss may draw insects and birds, which could damage the roof. Thick moss could block the roof’s drainage system. Water then may back up after a rainstorm and cause further damage that could eventually lead to roof repair expenses or the cost of roof replacement.

You could void your roof warranty using a power washer if you have a newer roof. With an older roof, you could knock loose older shingles. On the other hand, some people safely use a pressure washer to remove moss from a metal roof. Although you may want to use a pressure washer, the truth is that you probably don’t need it to knock moss loose. A garden hose and brush will do the job just fine and in a safer manner than a pressure washer.
