Your Roof Looks New Again

Those black streaks and green patches disappear completely. Your home looks well-maintained again, and neighbors notice the difference.

But the real value goes deeper than curb appeal. Clean roofs last longer because moss, algae, and organic growth actually eat away at your shingles. Remove them, and you’re adding years to your roof’s life.

You’re also protecting your family’s health. That dark staining isn’t just ugly – it’s often algae and mold that can affect indoor air quality. Professional roof cleaning eliminates these health risks while restoring your home’s value.

Broad Bottom Roof Cleaning Company

We Know Kentucky Roofs Inside Out

We’ve been cleaning roofs in Broad Bottom and surrounding Kentucky communities for years. We understand how our humid climate creates perfect conditions for moss and algae growth.

We’re not the cheapest option, and that’s intentional. You’re hiring us because your roof is expensive to replace, and you want it cleaned right the first time.

Our team uses manufacturer-approved methods that clean thoroughly without voiding your warranty. We’re fully insured, locally owned, and we stand behind every job we complete.

Our Roof Cleaning Process

Safe, Thorough, No Surprises

We start with a thorough inspection of your roof’s condition and the type of growth we’re dealing with. Every roof is different, so our approach adjusts accordingly.

Next comes the actual cleaning using our soft-wash system. This isn’t high-pressure washing that can damage shingles. Instead, we use specialized cleaning solutions applied at low pressure to kill organic growth at the root.

The cleaning solution does most of the work, breaking down years of buildup safely. We then rinse everything clean with controlled water pressure that won’t lift or crack your shingles. Most staining disappears immediately, while some stubborn spots continue fading over the following weeks as our treatment keeps working.

Complete Roof Cleaning Service

Everything Your Roof Needs

Your roof cleaning includes complete removal of moss, algae, lichen, and black streaks. We clean all roof surfaces, including dormers, valleys, and hard-to-reach areas where growth typically starts.

We also clean your gutters during the process since roof cleaning can wash debris into them. This prevents clogs and water damage after we’re finished.

Every job includes a post-cleaning inspection to ensure we’ve addressed all problem areas. We’ll also point out any roof issues we notice during cleaning – loose shingles, damaged flashing, or areas that need attention. We’re not roofers, but we see a lot of roofs, and we’ll give you honest feedback about what we find.

How often should I have my roof professionally cleaned?

Most Kentucky roofs need cleaning every 2-3 years, but it depends on your specific conditions. Homes with heavy tree cover or north-facing slopes often need more frequent cleaning because these areas stay damp longer. 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 means the organic growth digs deeper into your shingles, making removal harder and potentially causing permanent damage.

Will roof cleaning damage my shingles or void my warranty?

Not when done correctly. We use soft-wash methods specifically approved by major shingle manufacturers. High-pressure washing can absolutely damage shingles and void warranties, which is why we avoid it completely. Our low-pressure system with specialized cleaning solutions removes growth safely without lifting, cracking, or granule loss. In fact, many roofing warranties require regular cleaning to maintain coverage, so professional cleaning actually protects your warranty rather than voiding it.

How long does the roof cleaning process take?

Most residential roofs take 3-6 hours depending on size and condition. Heavily stained roofs or those with significant moss buildup may take longer. We’re not rushing through your job – thorough cleaning takes time to do safely. Weather can also affect timing since we won’t work on wet or windy days for safety reasons. We’ll give you a realistic timeframe when we inspect your roof and keep you updated if conditions change our schedule.

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

Pressure washing uses high-pressure water to blast away stains and growth. It’s fast but can damage shingles, strip protective granules, and force water under shingles where it doesn’t belong. Soft washing uses low pressure with specialized cleaning solutions that kill organic growth chemically rather than mechanically. The solution does the work, not the pressure. This method is safer for your roof, more thorough at killing growth at the root, and provides longer-lasting results.

How much does professional roof cleaning cost in Broad Bottom?

Roof cleaning typically costs between $300-800 for most homes, depending on roof size, pitch, and condition. Heavily stained roofs or those requiring special treatment cost more. We provide free estimates so you know exactly what you’re paying before we start. Consider that roof cleaning costs a fraction of roof replacement – usually less than 1% of what a new roof costs. When you factor in the extended roof life and restored home value, professional cleaning pays for itself.

Will the black streaks and stains come back after cleaning?

Eventually, yes, but proper cleaning significantly delays their return. The black streaks are caused by algae that’s always present in our environment. However, thorough cleaning removes existing growth and our treatment helps prevent rapid regrowth. Most roofs stay clean-looking for 2-3 years after professional cleaning. Factors like tree coverage, roof orientation, and local humidity affect how quickly staining returns. Regular cleaning every few years keeps your roof looking good and prevents the deep-set staining that becomes harder to remove over time.
