"More work was needed than was originally quoted. Final price was over double the initial quote. Scheduling was difficult. One worker needed to have scheduled surgery during the project and that resulted in several different Cougat teams working on the project. This resulted in the project not going as smoothly as it should have and communication between the teams could have been better. They cleaned up every day very well. The finished job looks good although the top of one chimney is not the same as it was originally."

We've used Guirkin often in the past and will definitely utilize their services again whenever we have a plumbing need."

"Chimney Saver Solutions repaired my chimney’s terra-cotta flue liner after I had a chimney fire in 2017. They also installed a woodstove insert with stainless steel flue pipe. They did it all at a great price and it was professionally done. Now they come every year to clean and inspect my chimney. Michael is one of their fine technicians that shows me camera video of the work after it is done. If you are in need of this kind of work, do yourself a favor and hire Chimney Saver Solutions to do it. Paul"

Chimney Sweep questions, answered by experts

A green roof is a roof design that includes a thin layer of vegetation on the roof surface. It’s an environmentally friendly option. Some green roofs may look like they have moss or algae on them, causing neighbors to suggest that you clean the roof. However, you should never try to clean a green roof, as any cleaning methods you deploy will likely kill the vegetation.

Vinegar will not damage your roof shingles. Using vinegar to wash your roof is an effective and popular cleaning method for asphalt shingles. You can buy white vinegar with varying concentrations of acetic acid. Typically, 5% is all you need for a good roof cleaning, but if you’ve got stubborn stains or moss you can go as high as 25%.

Even though you don’t look at your roof often, there are some telltale signs that you should have your roof professionally cleaned. It’s best to hire a professional roof cleaner as soon as you notice signs of wear and tear to preserve the essential feature’s longevity. Some indicators to look out for include:

  • Leaf buildup in gutters

  • Dirt and grime buildup

  • Moss or black algae growth

  • Dirt buildup under shingles

  • Shifting roof shingles

  • Plant growth

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.

Yes, pros use specialized solutions and pressure settings tailored to surface sensitivity.
