Frequently Asked Questions

  • What's the difference between soft washing and pressure washing?

    Soft washing uses low-pressure water with eco-friendly solutions to safely clean delicate surfaces like roofs and siding, while pressure washing applies higher pressure for durable surfaces like driveways and patios. At JMY services and solutions corp, we select the appropriate method based on your surface material to prevent damage while effectively removing dirt, algae, and mold.
  • How often should I have my roof inspected in Florida?

    Florida homeowners should have their roofs inspected at least once a year due to intense sun, heavy rain, and hurricane risks. Regular inspections help identify issues like loose shingles, water damage, or storm wear before they become costly repairs. At JMY services and solutions corp, our detailed roof assessments provide maintenance planning reports tailored to South Florida conditions.
  • Which siding material lasts longest in humid climates?

    Fiber cement siding performs exceptionally well in humid climates like Lauderhill, FL, resisting moisture, rot, and insect damage while maintaining durability. Vinyl and aluminum also offer strong moisture resistance with lower maintenance requirements. At JMY services and solutions corp, we help you select materials based on your budget, energy efficiency goals, and South Florida's tropical environment.
  • Can soft washing remove mold from my roof?

    Yes, soft washing effectively removes mold, mildew, and algae from roofs using eco-friendly solutions and gentle water pressure that won't damage shingles. This method treats the root cause rather than just surface dirt, extending your roof's lifespan. In Florida's humid climate, regular soft washing prevents organic growth that can degrade roofing materials over time.
  • What affects the cost of roof replacement?

    Roof replacement cost depends on material choice—asphalt shingles, metal, or tile—along with roof size, pitch complexity, and existing damage. Additional factors include removal of old materials, warranty coverage, and structural repairs needed. At JMY services and solutions corp, we provide detailed assessments to help you understand cost factors and select materials that fit your budget and needs.
  • How does new siding improve energy efficiency?

    New siding installation creates better insulation and seals gaps that allow air leakage, reducing cooling costs in hot climates like South Florida. Materials like fiber cement and insulated vinyl provide additional thermal barriers that keep indoor temperatures stable. Properly installed siding also prevents moisture intrusion that can damage insulation and increase energy usage year-round.
  • When should I repair siding versus replace it?

    Repair siding when damage is localized to a few panels or small areas, such as cracks or holes from impact. Replace siding if you notice widespread warping, rot, persistent moisture issues, or if repairs would exceed 30% of replacement cost. At JMY services and solutions corp, we assess the extent of damage and provide honest recommendations for repair or full replacement.
  • Is pressure washing safe for my driveway?

    Yes, pressure washing is safe and highly effective for concrete driveways, patios, and walkways when performed with proper technique and commercial-grade equipment. Using eco-friendly cleaning solutions removes oil stains, dirt buildup, and organic growth without harming surrounding landscaping. At JMY services and solutions corp, we adjust pressure settings based on surface condition and material type.
  • What are the benefits of emergency roof repair?

    Emergency roof repair prevents minor damage from storms or leaks from becoming major structural problems and costly interior damage. Quick response protects your home's interior, insulation, and belongings from water intrusion. In South Florida, where sudden storms are common, timely repairs help maintain your roof warranty and extend overall roof lifespan.
  • How long does a roof replacement take?

    Most residential roof replacements take 1 to 3 days depending on roof size, material complexity, and weather conditions. Metal and tile installations may require additional time compared to asphalt shingles. At JMY services and solutions corp, we provide clear timelines during your consultation and work efficiently to minimize disruption while ensuring quality workmanship and warranty compliance.
  • Why does algae grow on roofs in Florida?

    Florida's warm, humid climate creates ideal conditions for algae, mold, and mildew to thrive on roof surfaces, especially on north-facing slopes with limited sunlight. Algae feeds on moisture and organic matter, causing dark streaks and potentially shortening roof lifespan. Regular soft washing safely removes algae without damaging shingles, preserving both appearance and structural integrity.
  • What maintenance does siding need after installation?

    Siding maintenance includes annual inspections for cracks or gaps, gentle cleaning to remove dirt and mildew, and prompt repair of any damage. Different materials have varying needs—vinyl requires occasional washing, while wood may need periodic sealing. At JMY services and solutions corp, we offer ongoing maintenance plans to keep your siding in optimal condition year-round in South Florida's demanding climate.
