The power of a HIGH pressure CLEANER can damage the shingles on your roof, so it's important that you select the proper spray tip.

It's recommended to start with a medium pressure spray pattern, and adjust from there accordingly. Always stand on a dry area of the roof, as wet shingles can be very slippery.
