What Clean Roofs Actually Do

Your roof stops looking like it belongs in a haunted house movie. Those black streaks and green patches disappear, and suddenly your home looks like you actually care about it again.

But here’s what really matters: clean roofs last longer. When algae, moss, and debris pile up, they trap moisture against your shingles. That moisture breaks down the materials, creates weak spots, and turns small problems into expensive replacements.

A properly cleaned roof sheds water like it’s supposed to. It doesn’t hold onto the stuff that rots it from the outside in. You’re not just buying curb appeal—you’re buying years of life back for your roof.

Distillery District Roof Cleaners

We Know Kentucky Roofs

We’ve been cleaning roofs in Distillery District long enough to know what works and what doesn’t. We’ve seen what Kentucky weather does to roofs, and we’ve figured out how to undo that damage without creating more.

Most pressure washing companies treat your roof like a driveway. We don’t. Your roof needs different techniques, different pressures, and different solutions than your concrete.

We’re the local team that shows up when we say we will, does the work right the first time, and leaves your property cleaner than we found it.

Our Roof Cleaning Process

How We Clean Without Damage

We start with an inspection to see what we’re dealing with. Not all roof stains are the same, and not all roofing materials handle cleaning the same way.

Then we apply the right cleaning solution for your specific situation. Algae needs different treatment than moss. Asphalt shingles need different care than metal roofing. We match the method to your roof.

The actual cleaning happens at low pressure—just enough to remove the buildup without blasting off granules or loosening shingles. We work from top to bottom, making sure everything rinses clean and your gutters don’t get clogged with debris.

Complete Roof Washing Service

What's Included in Every Job

You get a full roof inspection before we start, so you know exactly what condition your roof is in. We clean all visible surfaces—not just the parts you can see from the street.

We handle the gutters too, because there’s no point cleaning your roof if the runoff just clogs your drainage system. All debris gets collected and hauled away, not just hosed into your landscaping.

Every job includes a final walkthrough where we show you what we found, what we cleaned, and any potential issues you should keep an eye on. You’re not just getting a service—you’re getting information about your roof’s condition.

How often should I have my roof professionally cleaned?

Most roofs in Distillery District need cleaning every 2-3 years, but it depends on your specific situation. Roofs with more shade from trees tend to grow algae and moss faster. North-facing slopes stay damp longer and usually need attention sooner. If you’re seeing black streaks, green patches, or moss growth, it’s time for cleaning regardless of when you last had it done. The key is catching problems before they damage your shingles, not waiting until your roof looks terrible from the street.

Will pressure washing damage my shingles or roof materials?

High-pressure washing absolutely can damage your roof, which is why we don’t do it. We use low-pressure techniques and specialized cleaning solutions that do the work, not brute force. The goal is removing algae, moss, and stains without blasting off the protective granules on your shingles or loosening the materials. Most roof damage from cleaning happens when someone uses the same high pressure they’d use on a concrete driveway. Your roof needs a completely different approach, and that’s exactly what we provide.

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

Roof cleaning requires specific knowledge about roofing materials, proper cleaning solutions, and low-pressure techniques. Regular pressure washing companies often use too much pressure and the wrong chemicals, which can strip granules off shingles, force water under materials, or cause premature aging. We understand how different roofing materials respond to cleaning and adjust our methods accordingly. It’s the difference between someone who cleans roofs as part of general pressure washing and someone who specializes in roof care specifically.

How much does professional roof cleaning cost in Distillery District?

Roof cleaning costs depend on your roof size, pitch, condition, and what type of cleaning is needed. Most residential jobs in Distillery District range from a few hundred to around a thousand dollars. That might sound like a lot until you compare it to roof replacement costs, which start around $15,000-20,000. We provide upfront pricing after seeing your specific situation because every roof is different. The investment in proper cleaning typically pays for itself by extending your roof’s life and preventing costly repairs.

Is roof cleaning safe for my landscaping and outdoor areas?

We take precautions to protect your landscaping, but you should know that some cleaning solutions can affect plants if not handled properly. We pre-wet sensitive plants, cover delicate areas, and rinse thoroughly after cleaning. Most established landscaping handles the process fine with proper protection. We’ll walk your property before starting and point out anything that needs special attention. If you have particularly sensitive or valuable plants near your roofline, let us know upfront so we can plan accordingly.

What should I expect during and after the roof cleaning process?

The actual cleaning usually takes a few hours depending on your roof size and condition. You’ll hear equipment running and see us working from various angles around your property. We’ll need access to water and electrical outlets, and you should expect some runoff during the process. After cleaning, your roof will look dramatically better immediately, though some stains may continue fading over the following weeks as cleaning solutions finish working. We’ll clean up all debris and equipment, leaving your property neat and your roof properly maintained.
