Green Monster Roof Cleaning

DJ Warila is the whole company, and that is the point. Green Monster Roof Cleaning is a Shirley, Massachusetts sole proprietorship that soft-washes roofs, houses, decks and gutters, and the reviews read less like feedback about a business than notes about a person: DJ showed up, DJ was quick, DJ did more than he quoted. Seventy Google ratings, all sitting at a 5.0 average. The work is cleaning, not construction — moss and black streaks off asphalt shingles, mildew off siding and decking, gutters and windows. Several people describe hiring him right before listing a house; one in January 2025 said he stayed on to help with a few loose shingles after the cleaning was done. Another, in a May 2025 review, wrote that a 25-year-old roof came back looking new. He also handles winter emergencies: a February 2026 caller with ice dams causing an internal leak said he arrived within two hours, cut the dams apart and drained the blockage. When the Boston Globe covered February's ice-dam surge, it quoted him on the fact that there is no set formula for which houses get them. The one dissent worth reading is old and specific. A December 2021 reviewer gave two stars — comfortable having him in the house and satisfied with what did get done, but he arrived 90 minutes late, left a pile of gutter debris under the roof line, charged $1,000 for five hours, and did not return for the windows and screens he had skipped. Nothing in the four and a half years since repeats that complaint, but the same review's other point still stands as a practical one: get the scope written down. The Better Business Bureau opened a file in 2023, lists the business as started in 2020, and has not issued a rating — it says it lacks enough information. That is a young, one-person operation, not a mark against him. Green Monster is the right call when the roof looks worse than it is: moss, streaks, a pre-sale refresh, an ice dam that needs cutting out this week. Agree the scope and the price in writing before he starts, since the estimates are described as verbal, and confirm whether windows, screens and gutter debris removal are inside the number.
