Its roof, parapets and drains belong to the association, and on a building this age, force is the wrong tool. We clean at low pressure with a dilute solution suited to the roof surface and report what we see. 1969Year Built7Stories on the Gulf$499Complex Roof Floor Price ## 🏠 An Older Roof Needs a Softer Hand Age · Salt · Inspections Concrete, coatings and flashing that have faced the Gulf since 1969 do not need more force. High pressure can open hairline cracks, lift old coatings and drive water where it should not go. Sunset House stands directly on Marco Island’s crescent beach, with a private boardwalk running from the property to the sand. A roof that close to the surf takes salt spray on most onshore days, and the film it leaves holds moisture against the surface long after a shower has passed. As a coastal building well past 25 years, Sunset House falls under Marco Island’s milestone inspection cycle, and state law adds a Structural Integrity Reserve Study every 10 years that covers the roof. A clean roof lets those professionals see it clearly. Public records do not tell us which membrane or coating is on the roof today, and we do not guess. At the survey we identify the surface with the manager, and if the association has the roofer’s or manufacturer’s care sheet, we work to it. If the roof turns out to be a TPO sheet, GAF’s bulletin for its EverGuard TPO line calls for a mild, non-abrasive detergent and water, a low-pressure washer at no more than 2,000 psi, and a soft-bristled brush. It also asks that low curbs, base flashings and other spots where water could enter be kept out of the spray. For PVC sheets such as Sika’s Sarnafil, Sika’s bulletin 17-03 prefers lower pressure without naming a number, holds the wand 16 to 24 inches above the membrane and sprays from the field sheet over the seam overlap, never against it. On Sika’s list of things to avoid are wire brushes, which it says may scratch or even puncture a membrane. Salt and algae around drains and parapet caps wash down the walls with every storm. Cleaning the roof edge first keeps a facade wash from being undone by the next rain. On many Gulf-coast roofs the dark patches around drains are algae rather than dirt. The Asphalt Roofing Manufacturers Association names *Gloeocapsa magma* as probably the most widespread of the algae that discolor roofs and says it does best in warm, humid places such as the Gulf States. Owens Corning adds that it travels through the air, so a rooftop seven floors up is no protection. Ponding is where we look hardest. GAF notes that how often a roof needs cleaning depends on contamination, rainfall, dirt and how well it drains, and a low spot that holds water after rain usually shows it first. We photograph any area that stays wet so the board can ask a roofer whether it needs attention. At seven stories, the building is far easier to reach than a 20-story tower. That usually means less setup time and a lower price for the association. Every unit at Sunset House has a balcony, and on the Gulf side many face west over the pool and the beach. Before we treat the roof edge, owners are notified through the manager so that chairs, plants and towels can come inside and nothing below the parapet catches drift. Some units have impact-resistant doors and windows. Glass and frames below the roof line are rinsed with fresh water once the parapets are done, so any solution that reaches them does not dry in place. From the street, Sunset House is found at 220 Seaview Court, with a few units addressed at 240, just north of San Marco Road and on the Gulf side of N Collier Blvd. The heated pool, spa, tennis court, library, BBQ grill and fitness center stay open during roof work because we stage the job around them. Runoff gets the same care. GAF asks that plants, shrubs and facades be protected from cleaning water and that local runoff rules be followed, and Sika points to extra care where bleach-bearing water can reach grass, trees or shrubs. At a beachfront building the pool deck and the beach-side landscaping are the two places we guard most closely, rinsing them before and after and keeping flow headed to the roof drains. Covered reserved parking means there may be more roof than the main building. If the carport roofs are part of the association’s scope, we quote them as a separate line so the board can decide whether to clean them on the same day. Anyone on the roof is tied off. GAF and Sika both note that a wet single-ply membrane is slippery, and GAF tells crews not to walk through solution that has not yet been rinsed, so we work from the field toward the drains and rinse as we go. Results are not permanent. ARMA states that roof cleaning effects are temporary and discoloration may return, and on a roof facing the open Gulf the salt film builds again with each onshore wind, so we suggest the board book the next visit by condition, using the photos from this one as the baseline. Flat and complex roof sections start at $499 as a floor price, and the full roof is quoted after the survey. Parapets, drains and a clean timed before the engineer’s visit are priced per building, and owners can add their own balconies on separate invoices; our [flat roof cleaning](https://naples-pressure-washing.com/flat-roof-cleaning-naples/) page explains the method. We are licensed and insured, send a certificate of insurance to the manager on request and leave a written service record after every visit.
