Benowa is an established suburb of larger homes with gardens that have had a long time to grow in. That maturity is what people like about it, and it's also the reason roofs and shaded walls here need attention on a reasonably regular cycle — mature planting means shade, and shade means organic growth.
What makes Benowa properties different
Mature gardens and significant tree cover
Established planting throws a lot of shade across roofs, walls and driveways. Surfaces that don't get direct sun after rain stay damp for hours longer, which is exactly the window moss and algae need.
Larger homes, larger roofs
Benowa homes tend to be substantial, so roof washing is a bigger job than the suburban average. It also means bundling roof and house together saves more here than on a smaller property.
Inland enough that salt isn't the driver
You're well back from the water, so it's organic growth rather than salt that dictates the cleaning cycle. That generally means a slightly longer interval than the beachside suburbs — but not by as much as you'd think, because of the shade.

Benowa questions we get asked
Will the treatment hurt my garden?
No. We use a biodegradable solution and rinse down garden beds as we go. Established gardens are the norm in Benowa and we work around them constantly.
Do larger homes cost more than the $825 average?
Usually yes, since roof washing is priced on area. Send us the address and we'll size it up before quoting so there's no surprise.

Forty years of organic matter, sediment and dust, bird droppings, efflorescence (salts) removed. Terracotta tiles restored to their warm reddish brown colour. Neighbours commented on roof look before and after treatment. Also contractor pointed out some roofing repairs needing attention in the near future.
I can not recommend Bear and his team enough! They performed a full house refresh before we put our house on the market. The whole process was very straightforward, with itemised quoting, clear communication and a post job check in to ensure we were happy. Thank-you!
GC Shine promptly arrived as arranged. He immediately got stuck in to cleaning the mould off our house. This mould was really making our house look bad from the street, particularly as we have a contemporary designed house with lots of white sections. And our roof is white Colorbond. When he finished, the house looked like new again and freshly painted. Bear did a great job, and nothing was too much trouble to do when I asked him. I highly recommend him if you need a great cleaner.
Bear was absolutely thorough in our all-over house clean. The whole house, paver and perimeter fence was completed and it honestly looks like a brand new house! From a detailed quote to a full day on the tools, I cannot recommend Bear enough. Will definitely be booking him in again for a house refresh!
I had Bear around today, preparing my house for sale. Amazing finish, certainly a rewarding job. My house has gone back in time, looking brand new again. No hesitation in recommending Bear. Keep up the good work

Bear is a very well organized polite guy who did an excellent job cleaning the roof of our duplex. The roof tiles look like new now and well worth the money to do the job, excellent value!
