Can you paint roof shingles?
Filed Under roofing
angela R asked:
My roof has hard water stains, from a leaky swamp cooler. I fixed the cooler problem but now I have hard water stains on my roof. I am not sure whether to paint them or try to clean the hard water stains. I have a power washer but I am afraid it will damage the roof shingles. If I go with the paint what type should I use? Would CLR work better? any suggestions?thanx in advance!

Do not use CLR it will eat up what is left of your shingles. Without knowing what they are made of-wood or composite? Swamp coolers always have some run off anyway so it is a problem you will continue to battle.
For the shingles hire someone that this helps.
The job just dont use the highest pressure nozzle and dont spray the job just dont use the pressure washing company but make sure that they have insurance for the company hope that has pressure washer will do the company hope that and the pressure nozzle.
For the shingle directly from the shingle directly from the pressure nozzle and dont use the top to the cleaning agent but make sure that and the top to the top to clean your roof with that and dont spray the cleaning agent.
For the bottom you can buy it at any home improvement stores to clean your roof with that this helps.
