Your Roof, Restored and Protected

You’ll see the difference immediately. Those black streaks, green patches, and built-up debris disappear, revealing the roof you remember when it was new.

But the real value shows up over time. Clean roofs last longer because algae, moss, and lichen actually feed on your shingles, breaking down the protective granules that keep your roof intact. Remove them, and you’re adding years to your roof’s life.

Your home looks better from the street. Your property value stays strong. And you avoid the headache of premature roof replacement because you took care of what you had.

Will pressure washing damage my roof shingles?

High-pressure washing can absolutely damage shingles, which is why we use soft washing instead. Soft washing relies on specialized cleaning solutions applied at low pressure to break down algae, moss, and stains. This method is recommended by roofing manufacturers and won’t void your warranty. The cleaning solution does the work, not force, so your shingles stay intact while getting completely clean. Most roof damage from cleaning happens when companies use pressure washers meant for driveways on delicate roofing materials.

How long does roof cleaning take to complete?

Most residential roof cleaning jobs take 2-4 hours depending on your roof size and condition. Heavily soiled roofs with thick moss or extensive algae growth may take longer. We don’t rush the process because thorough application of cleaning solutions and proper rinsing take time to do right. Weather conditions can also affect timing – we won’t work in high winds or storms for safety reasons. We’ll give you a realistic timeframe when we inspect your roof and stick to it.

How often should I have my roof professionally cleaned?

In Kentucky’s humid climate, most roofs benefit from professional cleaning every 2-3 years. However, this varies based on your roof’s exposure to shade, moisture, and organic debris. Roofs under heavy tree cover or in consistently damp areas may need annual cleaning. You’ll know it’s time when you see black streaks, green patches, or moss growth starting to appear. Regular cleaning is much more cost-effective than letting growth establish and cause damage that requires roof repairs or premature replacement.

Are your cleaning solutions safe for plants and pets?

We use eco-friendly cleaning solutions that break down safely after doing their job. However, we still take precautions by covering sensitive plants and ensuring pets stay inside during the cleaning process. The solutions are designed to target organic growth on your roof, not harm your landscaping, but protection is always smart. We thoroughly rinse all areas after cleaning, and any residual solution that reaches the ground dilutes quickly. Most customers can let their pets back outside within a few hours of completion.

Will cleaning my roof prevent ice dams in winter?

Clean gutters and proper roof maintenance definitely help prevent ice dams, and roof cleaning is part of that equation. When we clean your roof, we also clear your gutters of debris that could cause water backup. However, ice dams are primarily caused by heat loss from your attic melting snow unevenly. While a clean roof and gutters help water flow properly, addressing attic insulation and ventilation is usually necessary for complete ice dam prevention. We can identify areas where debris buildup might contribute to drainage problems during our inspection.

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

Roof cleaning removes organic growth, stains, and debris from structurally sound roofs, while roof replacement involves removing and installing new roofing materials. Many homeowners think they need a new roof when they actually just need a good cleaning. Black streaks and green growth make roofs look old and damaged, but often the shingles underneath are fine. Professional cleaning can add years to your roof’s life and costs a fraction of replacement. We’ll honestly assess your roof’s condition and let you know if cleaning will solve your problems or if replacement is truly necessary.
