What Clean Roofs Actually Do

Your roof stops looking like the neglected house on the block. Those black streaks and green patches disappear, and suddenly your home has curb appeal again.

But it goes deeper than looks. Clean roofs last longer because algae and moss actually eat away at shingles over time. When you remove that buildup, you’re not just improving appearance—you’re adding years to your roof’s life.

You also stop worrying about whether you’re voiding warranties or causing damage. Professional roof cleaning protects manufacturer coverage and keeps your biggest investment in good shape. No more stressing about whether that moss is actually hurting something or just looking bad.

Aylesford Place Roof Cleaning Company

We Know Kentucky Roofs

We’ve been cleaning roofs in Aylesford Place and surrounding areas for years. We understand what Kentucky’s humid climate does to roofs—the algae that thrives here, the moss that takes hold, and the specific challenges homeowners face.

We’re not the guys who show up with a pressure washer and hope for the best. We use soft washing techniques that actually work without damaging your shingles or voiding warranties.

You’re dealing with a local company that’s seen every type of roof problem this area throws at homeowners. We know what works and what doesn’t.

Roof Washing Process

How We Clean Your Roof

First, we inspect your roof to identify what we’re dealing with—algae, moss, lichen, or general buildup. Different problems need different approaches, and we adjust our process accordingly.

Next comes the actual cleaning using our soft wash system. This isn’t pressure washing that can damage shingles. We apply specialized cleaning solutions that break down organic growth at the root level, then rinse everything away with low-pressure water.

The whole process typically takes a few hours depending on your roof size and condition. You’ll see immediate results, but the cleaning solution keeps working for weeks afterward, continuing to remove any remaining buildup. Most roofs stay clean for 2-3 years after a proper treatment.

What's Included in Roof Cleaning

You get a complete roof inspection before we start, so we know exactly what we’re working with. We identify problem areas, check for any existing damage, and plan the safest approach for your specific roof type.

The cleaning itself covers your entire roof surface—not just the visible areas from the street. We remove algae, moss, lichen, and general organic buildup that accumulates over time. All gutters get cleared of debris that comes off during cleaning.

We also protect your landscaping throughout the process. Plants get covered and rinsed as needed because we know the cleaning solutions can affect vegetation. You don’t have to worry about dead bushes or brown spots in your lawn after we’re done.

Will pressure washing damage my roof shingles?

Yes, pressure washing can absolutely damage shingles and often voids manufacturer warranties. High pressure strips away granules that protect your shingles from UV rays and weather. It can also force water under shingles, leading to leaks and rot. That’s why we use soft washing instead—low pressure with specialized cleaning solutions that do the work chemically rather than mechanically. This method is recommended by most roofing manufacturers and actually preserves your warranty coverage while getting better, longer-lasting results.

How often should I have my roof professionally cleaned?

Most roofs in Kentucky need cleaning every 2-3 years, but it depends on your specific situation. Roofs with more shade from trees tend to develop moss and algae faster. North-facing slopes that don’t get much direct sunlight also accumulate growth more quickly. If you’re seeing black streaks or green patches, it’s time for cleaning regardless of when you last had it done. Waiting too long actually makes the job harder and more expensive because heavy buildup requires more intensive treatment.

What's the difference between algae and moss on roofs?

Algae shows up as black or dark streaks running down your roof—that’s what most people notice first. It’s actually a bacteria that feeds on the limestone filler in shingles. Moss is the green, fuzzy growth that looks more obvious and three-dimensional. Both are problems, but moss is worse because it actually lifts shingles and holds moisture against your roof deck. Algae mainly affects appearance and gradually breaks down shingle material. Both need professional removal, but moss requires more careful treatment to avoid damaging shingles when it’s removed.

Is roof cleaning safe for my gutters and downspouts?

Professional roof cleaning is completely safe for gutters and downspouts when done correctly. We actually clean out any debris that washes down during the process, so your gutters often work better afterward. The cleaning solutions we use won’t damage aluminum, vinyl, or steel gutters. However, we do take precautions with certain gutter materials and always test in inconspicuous areas first. We also make sure downspouts are clear and flowing properly before we finish. DIY roof cleaning is where you see gutter damage—usually from people using the wrong chemicals or too much pressure.

Will roof cleaning solutions harm my landscaping?

The cleaning solutions can affect plants if they’re not protected, which is why we cover and pre-wet all landscaping before starting work. Most damage happens when homeowners try DIY cleaning without taking proper precautions. We use professional-grade solutions that are more effective than store-bought products but require careful handling around vegetation. Everything gets thoroughly rinsed during and after the cleaning process. We’ve never had landscape damage because protection is built into our process from day one. Your plants and lawn will be fine.

How long does it take to see full results?

You’ll see dramatic improvement immediately after we finish, but the cleaning solution keeps working for several weeks afterward. Some stubborn stains and embedded growth take time to fully break down and wash away with rain. Most roofs look completely clean within 30-60 days of treatment. The process is gradual because we’re killing organic growth at the root level rather than just blasting it off with pressure. This approach gives you longer-lasting results—typically 2-3 years before you need cleaning again versus 6-12 months with pressure washing methods.
