Client Review: As a licensed Architect in NJ and NY, who has recently retired from a large-scale Construction Management firm in NYC, I am very familiar with various building trades and the properties of materials. I also pride myself in having a trained “eye” as well as the experience of interviewing and selecting the most appropriate trade contractors for our projects. Upon my initial contact, TruCLEAN sent out a “point person” to view the exterior of the house and photograph the various roof silhouettes and visible conditions. Based on these photos, augmented by GoogleEarth imaging, they were able to very quickly generate a competitive cost quote to clean our 11-year old cedar shingle roof on our circa-1930’s Tudor style home in Summit, NJ. Our house is located on a sloping site and is two-stories high at the street elevation and three-stories in the rear terrace. While our roof is not that large in total surface area, it does have a very steep pitch, along with cross-gables, two dormers windows and three shed roof appendages. The cedar shingles had lost their original soft honey color and had weathered to a dark gray/green color over the past decade, due to the shade from the surrounding tall oak trees, and constant moisture, which promoted the extensive growth of fungi, mold and mildew.

Other roof cleaning contractors, surprisingly either did not visit the house prior to submitting a cost estimate or once they saw the house, were intimidated by the extent of the mold and mildew and declined to offer to perform the work, since they were not confident that they could accomplish what I wanted. As important, TruCLEAN was the only roof cleaning contractor to proactively provide me with a copy of their all-important current Certificate of Liability Insurance, something that many homeowner’s overlook at their own risk when hiring contractors to work in and/or on their house.

As someone in the A/E/C industry, I certainly appreciated Gregg Giordano’s willingness to consider and ultimately accommodate my wishes in finalizing the Scope of Work for using their SOFTWASH cleaning method for this residential roof cleaning project. I also was grateful for his taking the time to answer all of my questions, discuss the pros & cons of alternative cleaning ideas, methods and approaches, allowing us to settle on what actually made the most sense for our wood roof and its existing condition. His recommendations based on his team’s time-tested experience, have resulted in a beautiful cedar shingle roof that has now been thoroughly cleaned, restoring it to its original beauty.

Ultimate, my wife and I are most pleased with the final result of this cleaning. Aesthetically, the finished work makes the cedar shingle roof an even more attractive focal point of the house, complimenting the overall style and architectural details of our home. We have received a number of compliments from friends and neighbors who have seen the cleaned roof and agree with our sentiments.

If interested, I would be pleased to speak with any of TruCLEAN's prospective clients to relay my positive working experience with TruClean and his there most talented, experienced, polite, and energetic team members. I commend all of them for the professionalism, expertise, and efficiency. Particularly, their sensitivity to protection of our property, as well as their flexibility to diagnose and deal with unexpected conditions and additional client requests and leaving the property cleaner than they found it. It was obvious that TruClean takes pride in producing high quality workmanship to achieve the desired final results. The entire TruCLEAN team was eager to accommodate, if not exceed, the expectations of a very demanding client.
