Keep Memphis Beautiful

We have a wonderful city and the people living here are great. Despite our diversity, we have come together as a community to clean up our city.We have made great strides in recent years in the urban areas of Memphis from  the River Walk to Shelby Forest.
It's time we start on our homes. One of the easiest and least expensive projects we can do is, cleaning our roofs.Having your roof cleaned is not as expensive as you might think. I have talked with several friends and homeowners who have told me they think it would cost anywhere from $600.00 upwards to $1500.00! This simply is not true.
When pricing a roof cleaning job in Memphis, I take into consideration height of roof, amount of roof to be cleaned, steepness, landscape and potential for runoff. All of these combined and I have rarely exceeded $600.00. The average roof cleaning price I have found is anywhere from $200.00 to $600.00. You can spend more by adding additional services like house wash, driveway, patio or fence. But, additional services are entirely up to you , the customer.
I would like to see Home Owners Associations add this to their covenants. In addition to being healthy for a roof. It improves curb appeal DRAMATICALLY. This can improve the appearance of the entire development. Thereby increasing home values.
Another area where I get calls from are from individuals selling their homes. In this market you have to do everything you can to present your house in the best light possible. As I stated before, roof cleaning is one of the easiest and most affordable ways to do this.
Not EVERY roof needs to be replaced. Don't get me wrong. I am a roofer and I like to roof houses. BUT, just because the roof is dirty and ugly doesn't mean you have to replace it! If you have or are considering putting your house on the market, Take the "new roof" argument off of the table before you get to the table. Spend a few hundred bucks and have it repaired and cleaned.
Come on Memphis! Lets finish the job! Lets help Keep Memphis Beautiful!
