Your Roof, Properly Protected

You’re looking at black streaks, green patches, or moss taking over your roof. It’s not just ugly—it’s expensive if you let it go.

Professional roof cleaning removes the algae, moss, and debris that actually eat away at your shingles. When we’re done, you get a roof that looks better and lasts years longer. No more wondering if those dark stains are permanent or if you’ll need a full replacement sooner than expected.

The difference isn’t just cosmetic. Clean roofs reflect heat better, which means lower cooling costs. They also shed water properly instead of holding moisture that leads to leaks and structural problems you definitely don’t want to deal with.

Calumet Area Roof Cleaners

We Know Kentucky Roofs

We’ve been cleaning roofs in the Calumet Area for years. We understand how Kentucky’s humidity and weather patterns create perfect conditions for algae and moss growth.

We’re not a general pressure washing company that happens to clean roofs. Roof cleaning is what we do, with the right equipment and techniques for each type of roofing material. Whether you have asphalt shingles, metal roofing, or tile, we know how to clean it without causing damage.

You’ll work with the same local team every time. No subcontractors, no surprises.

Roof Washing Process

Simple Process, Lasting Results

We start with a thorough inspection of your roof to identify problem areas and determine the safest cleaning approach. Different roofing materials need different techniques, and we adjust our process accordingly.

Next comes the actual cleaning using low-pressure washing and specialized cleaning solutions. We’re not blasting your roof with high pressure that can damage shingles or force water under your roofing materials. Instead, we use controlled pressure and professional-grade cleaners that kill algae and moss at the root.

We finish by cleaning your gutters and rinsing everything thoroughly. Before we leave, we’ll walk you through what we found and give you realistic expectations about how long the results should last. Most roofs stay clean for 2-3 years with proper maintenance.

What You Actually Get

Our roof cleaning service covers your entire roof surface, not just the visible problem areas. We remove algae, moss, lichen, and accumulated debris that most homeowners can’t safely reach or properly clean.

You also get gutter cleaning as part of the process. Clean gutters are essential for proper water drainage, and there’s no point in cleaning your roof while leaving clogged gutters that can cause water backup and damage.

We handle the safety concerns that keep most homeowners off their roofs. Professional equipment, proper safety gear, and experience working on different roof pitches and materials. You get professional results without the risk of injury or property damage that comes with DIY roof cleaning attempts.

How often should I have my roof professionally cleaned?

Most roofs in the Calumet Area need professional cleaning every 2-3 years, depending on your roof’s exposure to shade and moisture. Roofs with more tree coverage or north-facing slopes tend to develop algae and moss problems faster. If you’re seeing black streaks or green growth, it’s time for cleaning regardless of when you last had it done. Regular cleaning actually extends the time between cleanings because we eliminate the root systems that cause rapid regrowth.

Will pressure washing damage my shingles or roofing materials?

High-pressure washing can absolutely damage roofing materials, which is why we use low-pressure techniques combined with specialized cleaning solutions. We adjust our approach based on your specific roofing material—what works for metal roofing is different from what’s safe for asphalt shingles. Our process focuses on killing the organisms causing the stains rather than trying to blast them off with excessive pressure. This protects your roof while delivering better, longer-lasting results.

What's the difference between roof cleaning and regular pressure washing?

Roof cleaning requires specialized knowledge about different roofing materials, proper pressure levels, and cleaning solutions that won’t damage your roof or harm your landscaping. Regular pressure washing companies often use too much pressure or the wrong cleaning products. Professional roof cleaning also includes understanding how to work safely on different roof pitches and knowing which areas need special attention. The goal is removing harmful growth while preserving your roofing materials, not just making things look clean temporarily.

How long does the roof cleaning process take?

Most residential roof cleaning jobs take 3-6 hours depending on your roof size, pitch, and the extent of buildup we’re removing. We’re not rushing through the job—proper roof cleaning takes time to do safely and effectively. This includes setup, the actual cleaning process, gutter cleaning, and thorough rinse and cleanup. We’ll give you a more specific timeframe when we see your property, but plan on having us there for most of a day to do the job right.

Is roof cleaning worth the cost compared to eventual roof replacement?

Professional roof cleaning typically costs a fraction of what you’d pay for roof replacement, and it can extend your roof’s lifespan by several years. Algae and moss don’t just create stains—they actually feed on your roofing materials and hold moisture that leads to rot and structural damage. A roof that might need replacement in 5 years due to neglect could last 10-15 years with proper maintenance. When you consider that roof replacement can cost $15,000-30,000 or more, regular cleaning is one of the smartest investments you can make in your home.

What should I expect immediately after roof cleaning?

You’ll see immediate improvement in your roof’s appearance, though some staining may continue to fade over the following weeks as our cleaning solutions keep working. Your gutters will be clean and flowing properly, and we’ll remove any debris that came off during the cleaning process. Some dead moss or algae might wash down in the next few rains—this is normal and shows the treatment is working. We’ll also provide you with realistic expectations about how long the results should last and what maintenance steps you can take to extend the time between professional cleanings.
