What Clean Really Looks Like

Those black streaks covering your roof aren’t just dirt. They’re algae eating away at your shingles, shortening your roof’s life and making your home look neglected. When we’re done, you’ll see the roof color you forgot you had.

Your neighbors will notice the difference immediately. More importantly, you’ll have added years to your roof’s lifespan and thousands to your home’s value. Clean roofs last longer, period.

The peace of mind is worth it too. No more wondering if you should have dealt with this sooner. No more avoiding certain angles when you take photos of your home. Just a roof that looks like it belongs on a house you’re proud to own.

Our Roof Washing Process

How We Restore Your Roof

First, we inspect your roof and surrounding areas to identify problem spots and protect your landscaping. We’re looking for loose shingles, areas of heavy growth, and anything that needs special attention.

Next comes the actual cleaning using our soft wash system. This isn’t pressure washing – it’s a low-pressure application of professional cleaning solutions that kill algae, moss, and mildew at the root. The solutions do the work, not harsh pressure that can damage shingles.

We finish with a thorough rinse and cleanup. Most of the organic matter washes away during treatment, but we make sure your gutters are clear and your property is spotless. The full results show over the next few days as remaining residue weathers away naturally.

Complete Roof Cleaning Services

What's Included in Every Job

Every roof cleaning includes a complete property assessment, professional soft wash treatment, gutter cleaning, and thorough cleanup. We protect your plants, clean up completely, and leave your property better than we found it.

You’re not just getting the cleaning – you’re getting the expertise. We’ll point out any issues we notice, explain what caused the growth, and give you realistic expectations about how long the results will last. Most roofs stay clean for 2-3 years in Kentucky’s climate.

We also offer maintenance programs for homeowners who want to stay ahead of the problem. Regular treatments cost less than letting growth build up and are much easier on your roof long-term.

How often should I have my roof cleaned in Kentucky?

Most roofs in Kentucky need cleaning every 2-3 years, though it depends on your specific conditions. Homes with more shade, near trees, or in areas with high humidity may need attention sooner. The key is addressing growth before it becomes heavy. Light algae staining is much easier and less expensive to treat than thick moss buildup. We recommend having your roof inspected annually and cleaned as needed rather than waiting for obvious staining to appear.

Will roof cleaning damage my shingles or void my warranty?

Professional soft washing won’t damage your shingles or void your warranty when done correctly. We use low-pressure application – about the same pressure as a garden hose – combined with professional cleaning solutions. This is completely different from pressure washing, which can strip granules and damage shingles. Most major shingle manufacturers actually recommend regular cleaning to maintain warranty coverage. We’re happy to explain our process and provide documentation for your warranty records if needed.

What's the difference between pressure washing and soft washing for roofs?

Pressure washing uses high-pressure water to blast away dirt and growth, which can damage shingles, strip protective granules, and force water under shingles. Soft washing uses low pressure combined with specialized cleaning solutions that kill algae, moss, and mildew at the source. The solutions do the cleaning work, not the pressure. Soft washing is safer for your roof, more effective at preventing regrowth, and is the method recommended by roofing manufacturers and professional cleaning associations.

How long do roof cleaning results last?

In Kentucky’s climate, professional roof cleaning typically lasts 2-3 years before you’ll notice new growth starting. Factors like shade, humidity, and nearby trees can affect this timeline. Roofs with more sun exposure stay cleaner longer, while heavily shaded areas may show new growth sooner. The good news is that maintenance cleanings are quicker and less expensive than initial heavy cleaning. Many of our customers opt for maintenance programs to keep their roofs looking great year-round.

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

Absolutely. Professional roof cleaning costs a fraction of roof replacement and can extend your roof’s life by years. Algae and moss don’t just look bad – they actually feed on your shingles and hold moisture against the roof surface, causing premature aging and damage. A typical roof cleaning costs hundreds of dollars while roof replacement costs tens of thousands. Even if you’re planning to replace your roof eventually, cleaning can buy you valuable time to budget and plan properly rather than facing an emergency replacement.

What should I do to prepare for roof cleaning service?

Move any outdoor furniture, decorations, or equipment away from the house perimeter so we can access all areas safely. Close all windows and doors, and let us know about any areas where you’ve had leaks or loose shingles. We’ll handle protecting your plants and landscaping, but if you have particularly sensitive or valuable plants, point them out when we arrive. Make sure we have access to water and a place to park our equipment truck reasonably close to your home. That’s really all you need to do – we handle the rest.
