established in 2004 as Cincinnati Shingle Shine. The name change came in late 2008 due to the
added services we now provide: House Washing, Gutter Cleaning & Protection, Cement & Brick
Cleaning, Pressure Washing, Deck Cleaning & Staining, Tree Removal and Yard Waste Removal.
Evan Wood is a firefighter with the City of Cincinnati and has been stationed at Engine 5 in
Over-The-Rhine for over 9 years. Engine 5 continues to be one of the busiest fire companies in the
entire region and was THE busiest firehouse in North America in the late 1980's and early 1990's
beating out FDNY, Chicago and LA firehouses for the overall number of runs for one fire company.
Evan will celebrate his 20th Wedding Anniversary in the summer of 2010 with his wife and two
teenage children. The favorite family hobby is snowboarding out west. Evan experienced the thrill
of climbing The Grand Teton of Wyoming in 2007 and has plans on taking his daughter mountain
climbing for her senior trip - if she can overcome her minor fear of heights! Both children have
been very active in select soccer and have travelled all over the region for their select teams.
Watching them play as been a joy for both parents.
Shingle Shine started in 2004 working out of a pickup truck. Roof Cleaners Plus required the
company to move up to a full size work van and trailer to carry all the tools and equipment that is
needed for our additional services. In 2010, we purchased a 16' Box-Truck to haul all the needed
ladders, tools, chemicals, equipment, hoses, pumps and pressure washers that would be needed
for any job - large or small. When Roof Cleaners Plus shows up to clean your house, your neighbors
will see a professional vehicle and a properly dressed (but possibly dirty from the previous job)
crew.
Our main crew leader, Doug, has over 10 years working on roofs. He does his job very well. Doug
knows how to perform repairs and how to replace entire roofs. Shingles that are missing or torn
can be replaced the day of the cleaning. Doug can use leftover shingles from when the roof was
installed or a similar colored shingle can be purchased (Note - neither will be a perfect match as
the current shingles fade over time from rain and UV exposure, but this is better than leaving the
roof exposed to water damage). If a roof is not properly vented, the heat buildup not only increases
your energy bills by causing your A/C to run longer to cool the top floor, but it also causes your
shingles to fail sooner than they should. Doug can install ridge, box and power roof vents if
requested. Also, if you have chimney mortar that has minor cracks, Doug can repair that as well to
prevent further deterioration of the joints.
