Thanks to those who posted their experience and level of satisfaction after having had their roofs soft washed

I have just called four of the local companies who advertise online that they do soft washing in TV, for a quote.

Three of the firms were very responsive, two were willing to come out today, look at the house and give me a quote...the other comes the day after tomorrow.

The 4th individual I spoke with stressed that he was a professional roofing expert and makes presentations on roofs at restaurants in the Squares every week. About five or six times during our brief conversation he mentioned he was a professional roofing expert. He was adamant that 'soft wash' was a scam and that I'd damage my roof by doing that. He said he'd gladly come by tomorrow and after inspecting my roof and the attic for 90 minutes he'd let me what his recommendation was. It was a pretty hard sell, it was clear he wasn't really listening, his solution would be replacing the roof on the main part of the house. I told him not to come as it would be a waste of his time and mine.

I will replace the roof in a couple of years, but that's not what I choose to do right now.
