More About Cedar Roof Restoration:

STA BRITE® R is a pigmented, water-repellent, weather resistant treatment that is specifically formulated to provide lasting protection to cedar wood roofs, siding and fencing from elemental forces.

Its natural earth-derived pigment system and additional protectants shield the wood from ultraviolet (UV) light, ultimately increasing wood surface life by preventing erosion and deterioration caused by harsh sunlight. The treatment's mild bleaching properties also help prevent build-up of wood surface stains. Re-treating every three to five years will keep the wood beautiful, solid and intact.

Sta Brite R contains no heavy mineral or lubricating oils which may have an offensive odor and, when vaporized, represent an environmental hazard. Instead, Sta Brite® R prevents the splitting and checking of wood by limiting water infiltration and harmful sunlight. It is designed to work with the sun by reflecting harmful rays while simultaneously utilizing the sun's natural bleaching qualities to prevent unsightly stains.

The Maintenance Myth:

Although naturally occurring extractives make cedar more durable than other wood species, it is not immune to rapid discoloration from exposure to sunlight and moisture-induced degradation. Unfortunately, many property owners are led to believe that cedar / shake roofs and other exposed d surfaces are relatively “maintenance-free” or that no worthwhile remedial treatment is available.

Beauty And Protection That Lasts:

Envirowash restore cedar roof of all sizes of homes in all areas of central Virginia including Richmond, Hanover, Chesterfield and Williamsburg. The renewed look and attractive appearance of a Sta Bite®R treated roof will last many years without concern for VOC missions. Your treatment applicator will place you on a 4 - 7 year maintenance schedule suitable for your area. Basic maintenance involves periodic removal of leaves and other debris from the roof and re-treatment with Sta Brite®R. Properly maintained, your cedar roof can last 50 years or more.

Thank you for your interest in cedar roof cleaning and maintenance in Richmond Virginia. When architectural wood is properly treated, there is less stress on our diminishing wood supply. Your conservation and concern for the environment are important to future generations.

Environmental Responsibility:

Exterior wood treatment products are either oil-based or water-based. Proponents of oil-based products may claim that oil systems do a better job of controlling cupping and warping by replenishing the natural oils in wood. Since these natural oils account for less than three percent of the total mass, there is not much validity to the concept of oil replacement. Both types of products can protect wood by preventing and controlling the degrading action of moisture, air pollution and sunlight.

In recent years, however, government regulators have moved to decrease the amount of volatile organic emissions (VOC’s) compound evaporating into our air. Many of the oil based roof treatment products contributed to the air pollution and have been re-formulated to reduce emissions of VOC’s – in many cases compromising their original effectiveness. Other oil-based products are limited due to their potential fire hazards.
