Roof cleaning questions, answered plainly

Yes. Fox soft washes the roof, clears debris and gutters, and sends 4 documents: dated before-and-after photos, a work statement, a certificate of insurance and a maintenance interval.

No. Fox never puts high pressure on shingle, tile or shake. It uses a low-pressure soft wash, the method GAF and the Asphalt Roofing Manufacturers Association approve.
