COMMERCIAL PROJECT HIGHLIGHT:

Commercial Roof Restoration

Our team tackled a large commercial TPO/EPDM roof with a specialized soft wash approach. This high-rise roof had collected layers of dirt and discoloration that dulled its appearance and reduced its reflective capabilities.

Because these surfaces require extra care, we tested multiple stain removal products on-site and identified the perfect combination to safely and effectively clean the roof without causing damage.

In addition to rubber roof washing, Envirowash also offers rubber roof coating applications—a great follow-up to protect your roof long-term. Clean, coat, and extend the life of your roof, all with one expert team.

The result is a brighter, cooler, and more efficient roof. Routine cleaning, such as this, prevents buildup that can shorten the lifespan of roofing systems, ultimately saving money on repairs and replacements down the road.



RESIDENTIAL PROJECT HIGHLIGHT:

Slate Roof and Aggregate Driveway Refresh

This month, we helped one homeowner transform their property from faded to flawless. Our team began by carefully pressure washing the home's driveway, eliminating grime and buildup that had dulled its original color. We followed that up with a sealing treatment to protect the refreshed surface from moisture and staining. The dramatic “before and after” difference speaks for itself—bright, clean aggregate that looks new again.

The roof received a thorough soft wash treatment to restore its beauty and protect it for the seasons ahead. Once shadowed by black streaks and buildup, the roof reveals the gorgeous, natural tones underneath.



EMPLOYEE SPOTLIGHT: LISA

We’re thrilled to welcome Lisa F. to the Envirowash team! Originally from Pittsburgh, Lisa is a proud Steelers fan, an avid reader of Christian fiction, and a passionate advocate for pets in need. She and her husband, married for 25 years, enjoy weekend mornings with coffee and Aerial America on the Smithsonian Channel.

Lisa loves cooking hearty meals, baking pumpkin bread in the fall, and going on long walks with her dogs through West End parks. She’s incredibly close to her four sisters up north and makes frequent visits to stay connected. With a sharp eye for detail and a heart for honesty, Lisa brings warmth and energy to our team.

Fun fact: her husband’s ancestors were among the original settlers of Jamestowne and Charles City—a legacy she enjoys learning more about!
