Most Florida Roofers are Missing the Forest for the Trees

If you’re a Roofing Contractor in Florida, you've probably noticed some of your colleagues starting to offer Roof Cleaning on a very limited basis and usually just individual homes.

But most of the 65,000 Homeowner, Property Owner, and Condo Communities in Florida have mandated for years that roofs be kept clean (the same way that they mandate that paint be maintained and lawns and bushes are trimmed). This represents a great opportunity for Roofing Companies that most are still missing. And this is especially true in the Jacksonville, Naples, Orlando, Tampa, and West Palm Beach markets.

Why are Roofing Companies not capitalizing on these markets?

Most of the Roofing Companies that offer Roof Cleaning can’t do it very profitably because they approach Roof Cleaning in the same way that most small Pressure Cleaning Contractors do – which is very labor intensive and time consuming. And since Roofing Contractors usually have higher labor costs and much more overhead to cover, they generally have to charge a much higher rate than a small Pressure Cleaning company and they really can’t be cost-competitive.

So while they are getting a few jobs here and there from customers willing to pay a premium, most Roofing Contractors are missing the larger opportunities, especially in the HOA/POA markets, because they can't be cost effective.

Would you like help to tap into the HOA, POA, and Condo Markets?

At the FRSA Expo, we are looking to talk with Roofing Companies that want to learn how to tap in to the HOA, POA, and Condo Markets – and do it Profitably


The Safety of Roof-A-Cide®, Approvals from Roofing Manufacturers, Proven Track Record, Our Training Program, Our Guarantee, and Most Importantly Our Cost-Effectiveness – are ALL unmatched in the industry and this is why Roof-A-Cide is The Industry Leader and a natural addition to a well-rounded Roof Maintenance Program. You can’t be cost-competitive if your crews are spending 3-4 hours on a roof when these roofs can be done in 25-30 minutes. And why settle for 50-60 customers each year when you can do that in One Day?



For far too long, Roof Cleaning has been left to contractors that are not licensed, insured, or qualified to do the work properly. And drenching the roofs with toxic, high-strength pool chlorine has become the method of choice for these contractors - causing damage that goes unnoticed for YEARS.

We see this changing. Not because the price of Roof Cleaning will go up dramatically, but because Homeowners and Property Managers are becoming more educated to the fact that the way we do it is so much safer, more efficient and more cost-effective. And Roofing Companies are starting to realize that Preventing Roof Stains with Roof-A-Cide® and eliminating the need for Roof Cleaning is going to be MUCH more profitable than roof cleaning will EVER be.

Things to Consider: 
  • This is Not a New Market – There are roughly 65,000 HOA & Condo Communities in Florida and most of these communities are already paying to have the Roof Cleaned on a regular basis. 
  • Many of these Homeowners and Communities are likely Your Customers.
  • It’s relatively easy to calculate the estimated revenues you could generate by converting 10-15% of your Customers into recurring Customers.

When Roofing Companies offer Roof-A-Cide®, they can be cost-competitive, very profitable, and offer Communities a better choice than what they have right now – and these Roofing Companies then become the only sensible choice for the Customer.
