Professional Roof Washing Charleston Woods

Your Roof Problems Actually Solved

Those black streaks aren’t just ugly—they’re algae eating away at your shingles. That moss isn’t harmless—it’s lifting your roof apart piece by piece. You’ve probably tried ignoring it, hoping it would go away on its own.

It won’t. And pressure washing will destroy your roof faster than the algae will.

Here’s what happens when you get this handled the right way. Your roof looks like it did when it was new. The algae stops spreading to your neighbors’ houses. Your home value stays protected. You stop worrying about whether you need a whole new roof, because now you know exactly what condition yours is actually in.

Roof Washing Process Charleston Woods

How We Actually Clean Your Roof

First, we inspect your roof from the ground and identify problem areas—algae streaks, moss growth, debris buildup. We check your gutters and note any areas that need special attention.

Then we apply our soft-wash solution. This isn’t pressure washing. We use low-pressure application of professional-grade cleaning solutions that kill algae and moss at the root level. The solution does the work, not high pressure that can damage shingles.

We let the solution work, then rinse everything clean with controlled, low-pressure water. The algae washes away, the moss releases, and your roof is clean without any damage to the shingles or underlying structure. Your gutters get cleared of all the debris that comes down during the cleaning process.

What You Actually Get

Complete roof inspection and assessment before we start. We identify problem areas and let you know if there are any issues beyond cleaning that need attention.

Professional soft-wash cleaning that removes algae, moss, lichen, and debris without damaging your shingles. We use solutions specifically formulated for different roofing materials—what works on asphalt shingles isn’t the same as what works on metal or tile.

Gutter clearing and rinse-down of all debris that comes off during cleaning. We don’t leave a mess in your gutters or around your foundation. Everything gets cleaned up properly so water flows where it should.

Will roof cleaning damage my shingles or void my warranty?

No, when done correctly with soft-wash methods. We use low-pressure application—never high-pressure washing that can strip granules or lift shingles. Most roofing manufacturers actually recommend professional cleaning to maintain warranties. Pressure washing will void warranties and damage shingles, but soft-wash cleaning protects both your roof and your warranty coverage. We use manufacturer-approved cleaning solutions and techniques.

How often should I have my roof professionally cleaned?

Most roofs in Kentucky need cleaning every 2-3 years, depending on conditions. Homes with more shade, near trees, or in humid areas may need annual cleaning. The key is addressing algae and moss before they establish deep root systems that become harder to remove. Regular cleaning is much less expensive than letting problems build up to the point where you need roof repairs or replacement.

Can I just pressure wash my roof myself?

Don’t. Pressure washing destroys shingles by stripping protective granules and can force water under shingles into your home. It’s also dangerous—roof work causes serious injuries every year. Professional soft-wash cleaning uses specialized equipment and solutions that kill algae and moss without the damage. The cost of professional cleaning is much less than replacing damaged shingles or dealing with water damage from improper cleaning.

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

Soft washing uses low-pressure application of specialized cleaning solutions that kill algae, moss, and bacteria at the source. Pressure washing relies on high-pressure water that can damage roofing materials. Soft washing actually cleans better because it eliminates the organisms causing stains, while pressure washing just blasts off surface material without killing the root cause. The results from soft washing last longer and protect your roof instead of damaging it.

How much does professional roof cleaning cost compared to replacement?

Professional roof cleaning typically costs a few hundred dollars, while roof replacement runs $15,000-30,000 or more depending on your home size. Regular cleaning can extend your roof’s life by 5-10 years, saving you thousands in premature replacement costs. Even if you’re planning to sell, a clean roof significantly improves curb appeal and home value. The return on investment for professional roof cleaning is substantial compared to any other home maintenance service.

Will the cleaning solutions harm my landscaping or gutters?

We take precautions to protect your landscaping and property. We pre-wet plants and cover sensitive areas before cleaning, and we use biodegradable solutions when possible. Our cleaning process includes thorough rinsing to ensure no residue remains. We also clear your gutters of any debris that comes down during cleaning so your drainage system works properly. We know how to protect your entire property, not just clean the roof.
