What Clean Roofs Do for You

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

But here’s what really matters: clean roofs last longer. The algae, moss, and lichen eating away at your shingles? Gone. That means fewer repairs, fewer leaks, and you’re not staring down a $15,000 roof replacement bill years before you should be.

Your neighbors notice. Your property value reflects it. And you stop cringing every time you pull into your driveway. That’s what happens when someone who knows what they’re doing handles your roof cleaning the right way.

Fairway Roof Cleaning Company

We Know Kentucky Roofs

We’ve been cleaning roofs in Fairway and throughout Kentucky long enough to know what works and what destroys shingles. We’ve seen what happens when homeowners try the DIY route with pressure washers, and we’ve fixed plenty of those mistakes.

Kentucky’s humidity creates perfect conditions for algae and moss growth. Most cleaning companies treat every roof the same way. We don’t. We understand how different roofing materials react to our climate, and we adjust our approach accordingly.

You’re not getting a one-size-fits-all service. You’re getting roof cleaning that’s designed specifically for what Kentucky weather does to your home.

Roof Washing Process

How We Clean Your Roof

We start with a thorough inspection of your roof and gutters. This tells us what we’re dealing with and helps us spot any issues you should know about before they become expensive problems.

Next comes the actual cleaning. We use a soft wash system that kills algae, moss, and lichen without the high pressure that damages shingles. Our cleaning solution does the work, not brute force. The process is thorough but gentle enough that your roof stays intact.

We clean up completely before we leave. That means your landscaping stays protected, your gutters get cleared of debris, and your property looks better than when we arrived. You get a clean roof and peace of mind that it was done right.

Complete Roof Cleaning Services

What's Included in Every Service

Every roof cleaning includes complete algae, moss, and lichen removal using professional-grade soft wash techniques. We treat the entire roof surface, not just the visible problem areas, because that’s how you prevent future growth.

Your gutters get attention too. We clear debris that’s accumulated and check for proper drainage. Most roof problems start with water that doesn’t flow where it should, so this isn’t an optional add-on.

We also protect your landscaping throughout the process. Our cleaning solutions are applied carefully, and we rinse thoroughly to ensure your plants and lawn stay healthy. You’re getting comprehensive roof care, not just a quick spray-and-go service that creates other problems.

How often should I have my roof cleaned in Kentucky?

Most Kentucky homes need professional roof cleaning every 2-3 years, but it depends on your specific situation. Homes with significant tree coverage or those facing north tend to develop algae and moss faster due to reduced sunlight and increased moisture. If you’re seeing black streaks or green growth, don’t wait. The longer these organisms stay on your roof, the more damage they cause to your shingles. Regular cleaning is much cheaper than premature roof replacement, and it keeps your home looking its best year-round.

Will pressure washing damage my roof shingles?

Yes, high-pressure washing can absolutely damage your shingles, and we see the results regularly. Pressure washing strips away the protective granules on asphalt shingles, which are what protect your roof from UV rays and weather. Once those granules are gone, your shingles deteriorate much faster. That’s why we use soft wash techniques that rely on specialized cleaning solutions rather than pressure. The cleaning solution does the work of killing algae and moss, while low-pressure rinsing removes the debris safely. Your roof gets clean without the damage.

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

The terms are often used interchangeably, but there’s an important distinction in how the work gets done. Roof washing typically refers to our soft wash process – using specialized cleaning solutions applied at low pressure to kill and remove organic growth. This is the safe, effective method for most residential roofs. Some companies use “roof cleaning” to describe high-pressure washing, which we avoid because it damages shingles. When you’re getting quotes, make sure you understand exactly what method they’re using. The right approach cleans your roof thoroughly without causing damage.

How long does the roof cleaning process take?

Most residential roof cleaning jobs take 2-4 hours, depending on the size of your roof and the extent of growth we’re removing. Heavily moss-covered roofs or complex rooflines take longer, while straightforward jobs with light algae staining move faster. We don’t rush the process because thorough application and proper rinsing are critical for both effectiveness and safety. You’ll see immediate results, but the full effect continues for several days as our cleaning solution keeps working to remove stubborn growth. We’ll give you a realistic timeframe when we assess your specific situation.

Is roof cleaning worth the cost compared to DIY methods?

Professional roof cleaning costs a fraction of what you’ll spend fixing damage from DIY attempts gone wrong. We regularly see homeowners who tried pressure washing their own roofs and ended up with damaged shingles, leaks, or incomplete cleaning that let the growth return quickly. Our professional-grade cleaning solutions aren’t available to consumers, and we have the experience to apply them safely and effectively. When you factor in the cost of equipment rental, cleaning products, safety gear, and the risk of injury or damage, professional cleaning makes financial sense. Plus, you get results that actually last.

Will cleaning my roof prevent future algae and moss growth?

Professional roof cleaning significantly slows future growth, but it won’t prevent it entirely in Kentucky’s humid climate. Our cleaning solutions kill existing algae, moss, and lichen down to the roots, which gives you much longer between cleanings than surface-level DIY methods. The key is treating the entire roof, not just visible problem areas, because algae spreads from untreated sections. Environmental factors like shade, moisture, and debris accumulation still create conditions for eventual regrowth. That’s why we recommend regular maintenance cleaning every 2-3 years to keep your roof in optimal condition and avoid heavy buildup that’s harder and more expensive to remove.
