What Clean Roofs Really Mean

Your roof stops being an eyesore. Those black streaks and green patches disappear, and your home looks like you actually care about it again.

But here’s what matters more than appearances. Clean roofs last longer. The algae and moss eating away at your shingles stop doing damage. Your roof can actually do its job properly instead of slowly deteriorating under layers of growth that trap moisture and cause rot.

You also stop worrying about what neighbors think when they drive by. No more avoiding conversations about your home’s appearance. Your property value stays protected, and you get years more life out of a roof that would otherwise need replacing sooner than it should.

Ashcamp Roof Cleaning Company

We Know Eastern Kentucky Roofs

We understand what Ashcamp roofs deal with. The humidity, the coal dust, the way moss grows in these hills. We’ve been cleaning roofs in Pike County long enough to know what works and what doesn’t.

Most importantly, we know the difference between cleaning a roof and damaging it. Too many homeowners have had their shingles destroyed by pressure washing or harsh chemicals. We use methods that remove the growth without shortening your roof’s life.

Our Roof Washing Process

How We Clean Without Damage

First, we assess your roof’s condition and identify problem areas. We’re looking for loose shingles, damaged flashing, or areas that need special attention before we start cleaning.

Next comes the actual cleaning. We use low-pressure washing techniques combined with specialized cleaning solutions that kill algae and moss at the root. No high-pressure blasting that can damage shingles or force water under your roofing materials.

After cleaning, we rinse everything thoroughly and inspect our work. You get a roof that’s genuinely clean, not just temporarily improved. The treatment continues working even after we leave, preventing regrowth for months longer than basic washing alone.

What's Included in Every Job

Every roof cleaning includes a full inspection before we start. We check for damage, identify problem areas, and make sure your roof can handle the cleaning process safely.

The cleaning itself covers your entire roof surface, not just the visible problem spots. We treat gutters, downspouts, and any areas where debris has accumulated. Everything gets the attention it needs to actually solve the problem.

You also get honest feedback about your roof’s condition. If we spot potential issues during cleaning, we’ll point them out. We’re not roofers trying to sell you repairs, but we will tell you what needs attention so you can address problems before they get expensive.

How often should I have my roof professionally cleaned?

Most roofs in Eastern Kentucky need cleaning every 2-3 years, but it depends on your specific situation. Homes with lots of tree coverage or north-facing slopes tend to develop algae and moss faster. If you’re seeing black streaks or green growth, it’s time for cleaning regardless of when you last had it done. The key is not waiting until the growth is so established that it’s causing actual damage to your shingles.

Will pressure washing damage my roof shingles?

High-pressure washing absolutely can damage shingles, which is why we don’t use it. Traditional pressure washing can strip granules off asphalt shingles, force water under roofing materials, and actually shorten your roof’s lifespan. We use low-pressure techniques combined with cleaning solutions that do the heavy lifting. The chemicals kill the growth, and gentle rinsing removes it without the aggressive pressure that causes damage.

What causes those black streaks on my roof?

Those black streaks are algae, specifically a type called Gloeocapsa magma. It feeds on the limestone filler in asphalt shingles and thrives in humid conditions like we have here in Kentucky. The streaks start small but spread over time, and they’re not just cosmetic. The algae actually breaks down your shingles and can cause premature aging. Moss is another common problem that holds moisture against your roof and can work its way under shingles.

How long does roof cleaning take and what should I expect?

Most residential roof cleaning jobs take 3-6 hours depending on the size of your home and how much growth we’re dealing with. We’ll need access to water and electricity, and you should expect some noise from our equipment. We protect your landscaping and outdoor furniture, but it’s helpful if you can move anything particularly delicate. The cleaning solution has a mild odor that dissipates quickly, and we always clean up completely before we leave.

Is roof cleaning worth the cost compared to just replacing the roof?

Professional roof cleaning typically costs a fraction of what roof replacement runs, and it can extend your roof’s life by several years. If your shingles are structurally sound but just stained or covered in growth, cleaning is absolutely worth it. However, if your roof is already near the end of its lifespan or has significant damage, cleaning might just be delaying the inevitable. We’ll give you an honest assessment of whether cleaning makes financial sense for your specific situation.

Can I clean my roof myself to save money?

While it’s technically possible, roof cleaning involves serious safety risks and the potential for expensive mistakes. Falls from roofs send thousands of people to hospitals every year, and using the wrong cleaning products or techniques can damage your shingles and void warranties. The specialized equipment and cleaning solutions we use aren’t typically available to homeowners, and the cost of buying or renting everything often approaches what professional cleaning costs anyway.
