This only covers the first and second owner of the home. They will confirm the shingles are theirs, the ownership, installation date, etc. You will get a claim number. Thy will send out an inspector, and if approved, he will explain the cleaning process and take before pictures. Cleaning takes around 1 to 1.5 hours. The company that they used was very good and explained the process and additional watering (irrigation or hand) that is required after the cleaning material is applied.

Time is running out if you want to have this done, I am very happy with the results, and i am posting this because I see a lot of houses in this area that appear to have the same staining problems I had.
If Certainteed 10 warranty covers cleaning of the staining, why is time running out? Doesn’t everyone have 10 years from date of install?
