Professional Roof Washing Colony

What Clean Really Looks Like

You’ll see the difference immediately. Those dark streaks disappear. The moss that’s been slowly damaging your shingles gets completely removed. Your roof looks years younger.

But here’s what matters more than appearance. You’re protecting one of your biggest investments. Clean roofs last longer because algae and moss actually eat away at roofing materials over time. Remove them, and you’re adding years to your roof’s life.

Your neighbors notice. Potential buyers notice. And your wallet notices when you’re not replacing your roof prematurely because neglect turned small problems into expensive ones.

Colony Roof Cleaning Company

We Know Kentucky Roofs

We’ve been cleaning roofs in Colony and surrounding Kentucky communities long enough to understand what works here. Kentucky’s humidity creates perfect conditions for algae and moss growth. Most homeowners see the same problems year after year.

We’ve seen every type of roof common in this area. We know which cleaning methods work on each material and which ones cause damage. When you call us, you’re getting someone who’s solved your exact problem hundreds of times before.

Roof Cleaning Process Colony

How We Clean Your Roof

First, we inspect your roof to identify problem areas and check for any existing damage. We’re not just looking at what needs cleaning – we’re making sure our process won’t cause problems.

Then we apply our cleaning solution. This isn’t pressure washing that can damage shingles. We use a soft wash system that kills algae and moss at the root without the force that strips granules or breaks seals.

The solution does the work while we handle the details. We protect your landscaping, clean your gutters of debris that comes off during the process, and make sure everything’s properly rinsed. You get a clean roof without any of the mess or risk.

Roof Cleaning Services Colony

What's Included in Every Service

Every roof cleaning includes a complete inspection before we start. You’ll know about any issues we spot, and we’ll explain how our process addresses them.

We clean the entire roof surface, not just the visible problem areas. Algae spreads, so partial cleaning is temporary cleaning. We also clear your gutters of any debris that comes down during the process and protect all your plants and outdoor furniture.

Colony’s climate means algae comes back eventually. We’ll give you realistic expectations about how long your results will last and what you can do to extend them. No surprises, no overselling – just honest information about maintaining your investment.

How often should I have my roof professionally cleaned in Kentucky?

Most Kentucky homeowners need roof cleaning every 2-3 years, but it depends on your specific situation. Roofs with more shade from trees or those facing north tend to develop algae and moss faster because they stay damp longer. If you’re seeing dark streaks or green growth, it’s time for cleaning regardless of when you last had it done. Waiting longer doesn’t save money – it just makes the problem harder and more expensive to fix.

Will roof cleaning damage my shingles or void my warranty?

Proper roof cleaning actually helps maintain your warranty. Most manufacturers require regular maintenance, and that includes removing algae and moss that can damage shingles over time. We use soft washing techniques specifically designed for roofing materials – no high pressure that strips granules or damages seals. The algae and moss growing on your roof cause more damage than professional cleaning ever will. DIY pressure washing is what typically causes problems.

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

Pressure washing uses high-pressure water to blast dirt and growth off surfaces. That works fine for driveways, but it’s too aggressive for roofs. The pressure can strip protective granules from shingles, break seals around flashing, and force water under shingles where it doesn’t belong. Soft washing uses low pressure and relies on cleaning solutions to kill and remove algae and moss. It’s gentler on your roof but more effective at preventing regrowth because it kills organisms at the root level.

How long does roof cleaning take and what should I expect?

Most residential roof cleaning takes 3-5 hours depending on your roof size and how much buildup we’re dealing with. We’ll need access to water and electricity, and you should move any outdoor furniture or decorations that might get in the way. The process isn’t loud like pressure washing, but you’ll hear our equipment running. We protect your landscaping with tarps, but it’s still smart to water your plants before and after we work.

Can I clean my roof myself to save money?

You can, but it’s not usually worth the risk or results. Roof work is dangerous – emergency rooms see plenty of homeowners who thought they could handle it safely. Beyond safety, most DIY attempts either don’t work long-term or cause damage. Store-bought cleaners rarely kill algae completely, so it comes back faster. And rental pressure washers tempt people to use too much pressure, which damages shingles. Professional equipment and experience typically make the job faster, safer, and longer-lasting.

What happens to my plants and landscaping during roof cleaning?

We protect your landscaping before we start working. Sensitive plants get covered with tarps, and we pre-wet everything so cleaning solution doesn’t stick to leaves. Our cleaning products break down quickly and won’t harm established plants when properly diluted, but we don’t take chances with your landscaping. After we finish, we rinse everything thoroughly. In our years of cleaning roofs in Colony, we’ve never had landscaping damage when we follow our protection process.
