Paver seal coatings.

Driveway brick pavers look so nice when first laid down, especially when you go over a concrete pad or even on top of earth.
   Proper installation is expensive but as you know you get what you pay for. If you have invested in pavers, you may want to consider having them sealed. If they are new then they can be sealed preserving the color, if  they are older you may notice a fading of color in the sunny areas. You can stop the fading, and we can help.
 There is more involved to sealing pavers than application. Call us and we can explain our process to you. 
   We use only seal n lock brand sealer. It is a high quality sealer which cannot be purchased at your local home improvement stores. There is a special process that must be followed for the product to be applied, BUT once it is on your pavers you will be so happy with the results. Seal n lock offers a 2 year warranty for residential customers and a 1 year warranty for commercial customers.

Please call us for a free estimate or consultation on your paver problems.

Deltona Florida Pressure Washing

    As a resident of  Deltona Florida,  I cannot help but notice how many homes, roofs, driveways need to be washed. They are covered in algae and mold, some worse then others of coarse. I would guess that 8 of 10 roofs are dark with algae growth, and almost every driveway is mold covered. This is unhealthy and it just looks dirty.

   Do we take pride in where we live.  Deltona has a bad reputation. It is my city and it is your city.

 The income per capita is $20,354,  which includes all adults and children.
 The state of Florida is just over $34,000.
 
       So yes Deltona Florida makes less money, But why live with a dirty house , Is the money the issue, If it is give Neilson cleaning a call.  (386) 956-3406,  I will offer discounts to Deltona Florida residents. and If I wash your home and a neighbor hires me also , you will be compensated for the extra work I get.  Our prices are reasonable, But you wont know until you call. I give free estimates. I enjoy working in Deltona Florida.   Its my home

Roof cleaning chemicals

                   Which roof cleaner is the right one. The ones that use Sodium Hypochlorite  (liquid Bleach) or a natural organic cleaner.
    Going green is wonderful. I fully agree that today's world is toxic and we as humans and a society need , no we must change, Our food alone is bad enough. GMO everything.

      I have 2 sons with autism, You do not need to tell me how food effects them. I give Matthew Fast food and he is Bouncing off the walls. Natural, organic is something our family strives for. Organic, green or any other phrase is also a huge money maker. This is where it gets interesting.
     
         Why do some roof cleaners advertise that they do not use bleach?
They are falling for the same pitch they were sold. They say things like bleach has fumes, It kills your plants, It dries out your shingle roof.

  As a certified roof cleaner I can say that Yes it has fumes, when the liquid hits the roof and the sun evaporates the water,  ( we do not use bleach at full strength) and causes vapors to go in the air, It evaporates about 2 feet up from the roof.
        Can the bleach kill your plants around the house?  
Absolutely. It is a chemical. The algae on the roof is a plant, we want that dead dont we? People do not like to use that word. Chemical.  It sounds abrasive. But here is the truth. a chemical  is a form of matter that has constant Chemical composition. It can be solid, liquid or gas. 
  A common example of a chemical substance is pure water; it has the same properties and the same ratio of hydrogen to oxygen.
  Did you know that adding water to bleach reduces its strength. You do not pour bleach onto your whites in the laundry, you wait until it goes to the proper cycle and the tub is full of water.  Dilution is the solution to pollution!
  plus to top it all off The ARMA (Asphalt Roof Manufacturers Association) recommends bleach to clean your roofs. http://www.asphaltroofing.org/algae-discoloration-roofs

     The bottom line is that roof cleaning in many areas is competitive, Especially in areas Sanford Florida, Lake Mary, Heathrow and all of Seminole County. Contractors will tell you what you want to hear to get the job. 
   I use Bleach for my roof washes. I am the one who is Certified by UAMCC.org and by the Roof cleaning institute of America

  Knowledge is power. Do not be fooled by claims of non bleach roof cleaning. Use the links provided and research for yourself what method is best, We go by ARMA and so should you.

Roof washing , Not a DIY Project

        Hello, My name is John Neilson. Owner of Neilsons commercial cleaning LLC. We provide pressure cleaning services to all of Central Florida
       Roof Washing is one of our services. We wash Tile,shingle,and metal roofs. I use the term washing because with the change of technology in cleaning solutions and soaps, the old fashioned way of using high pressure to clean is outdated. High pressure can damage your paint,siding,window seals and roof. If you have a shingle roof you will notice it has granules on it.
           Asphalt shingles were developed in the late 1800’s. Roofing manufacturers learned that coating the asphalt roofing material with granules extended the life of the shingle. Granules on a roof have four main purposes. They are the protection of the asphalt coating from UV light, add coloring and beauty, provide fire resistance, and add to the aid in shingle packaging. In today’s market, shingles are available in a wide range of colors and styles with 20 year lifetime warranties. One fact remains constant: all asphalt shingles have granule surfaces and manufacturers recognize granule asphalt shingles will not last forever, thus the wide range of warranties. As a shingle ages, it loses granules as the adhesion qualities in the asphalt dissipate. The older the shingle, the more granules are released, consequently the less ability the shingle has to resist the weather elements.
                If a contractor or homeowner uses a pressure washer to clean your roof then they are literally destroying the roof product. NEVER, NEVER let some one put a pressure washer to your roof, Even at a lowered pressure it is still too strong.
              We use a dedicated low pressure pump to clean your roof, It is softer then rain.  Did you know that if you as a homeowner fall off your roof you may not be covered under your policy.   HMM..... something to think about.
