What You Get From Clean Roofs

Your roof stops looking like the eyesore on the block. Those black streaks and green moss patches disappear, and your home looks like you actually care about it again.

More importantly, you’re not replacing your roof in five years because algae ate through the shingles. Clean roofs last decades longer than neglected ones. The moss that’s slowly prying your shingles apart gets removed before it causes real damage.

Your gutters stay cleaner too. When debris isn’t constantly washing off a dirty roof, your gutters work like they’re supposed to. No more overflow issues every time it rains hard.

Harrods Hill Roof Cleaning Company

We Know Kentucky Roofs

Lighten Enterprise has been cleaning roofs across Kentucky long enough to know what works and what destroys shingles. We’ve seen what happens when someone takes a pressure washer to asphalt shingles, and we’ve cleaned up plenty of those messes.

Our team uses the right equipment and techniques for each roof type. We’re not the guys who show up with a pressure washer and hope for the best.

We’re local, insured, and we’ll show you exactly what we’re doing and why. No surprises, no damaged shingles, no runaround.

Roof Washing Process

How We Clean Your Roof

First, we inspect your roof and identify what we’re dealing with. Moss, algae, and regular debris all require different approaches. We also check for any damaged areas that need attention before cleaning.

Next comes the actual cleaning. For most roofs, we use soft washing techniques that kill algae and moss without the high pressure that damages shingles. The cleaning solution does the work, not brute force.

We clean from top to bottom, making sure everything washes away properly without clogging your gutters. Then we do a final inspection to make sure we got everything and your roof is in good shape.

You get before and after photos so you can see exactly what changed. Most people are surprised by how much better their roof looks when it’s actually clean.

Complete Roof Cleaning Services

What's Included In The Service

You get a complete roof inspection before we start cleaning. We identify problem areas, check for damage, and explain what needs to be done. No hidden issues discovered halfway through the job.

The cleaning itself covers your entire roof surface. We remove moss, algae, lichen, and accumulated debris. We also clean your gutters of any debris that comes off during the roof cleaning process.

After cleaning, we apply treatments that slow down future growth where appropriate. Kentucky’s humid climate means algae and moss will try to come back, but proper treatment buys you years before you need cleaning again. You also get documentation of the work completed and recommendations for maintaining your clean roof.

How often should I have my roof cleaned in Kentucky?

Most Kentucky roofs need professional cleaning every 2-3 years, but it depends on your specific situation. Roofs with heavy tree coverage or north-facing slopes that don’t get much sun will need cleaning more frequently because moss and algae thrive in those conditions. If you’re seeing black streaks or green growth, it’s time for cleaning regardless of when you last had it done. Waiting too long means the growth gets established and becomes harder to remove completely. Regular cleaning is much cheaper than dealing with damaged shingles or premature roof replacement.

Will pressure washing damage my asphalt shingles?

High-pressure washing absolutely can damage asphalt shingles by removing the protective granules and shortening your roof’s lifespan. That’s why we use soft washing techniques for most roof cleaning jobs. Soft washing relies on specialized cleaning solutions to kill and remove algae and moss, not high pressure. The solutions do the work, and we use only enough water pressure to rinse everything away. For stubborn areas, we might use slightly higher pressure, but nothing that will strip granules or damage shingles. The goal is a clean roof that lasts longer, not a clean roof that needs replacement in a few years.

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

Roof cleaning and roof washing are essentially the same service – both involve removing moss, algae, debris, and stains from your roof surface. Some companies use “washing” to emphasize their water-based cleaning methods, while others prefer “cleaning” as a broader term that includes treatments and protective applications. What matters more than the terminology is the actual process and techniques used. Whether a company calls it cleaning or washing, you want to make sure they’re using appropriate methods for your roof type and not just blasting everything with high pressure.

How much does professional roof cleaning cost in Harrods Hill?

Roof cleaning costs in Harrods Hill typically range from $300 to $800 depending on your roof size, pitch, and condition. A standard single-story ranch house usually costs less than a steep two-story home with multiple angles and dormers. Heavily stained roofs or those with thick moss growth take more time and materials, which affects pricing. We provide free estimates because every roof is different, and we’d rather give you an accurate price after seeing your specific situation than throw out numbers that might not apply to your home.

Is roof cleaning worth it or should I just replace the roof?

If your roof structure is sound and the shingles aren’t severely damaged, cleaning is definitely worth it. A good cleaning can extend your roof’s life by 5-10 years, and it costs a fraction of what roof replacement runs. However, if your shingles are already curling, cracking, or missing granules extensively, cleaning might just be delaying the inevitable. During our inspection, we’ll tell you honestly whether your roof is worth cleaning or if you’re better off planning for replacement. Sometimes cleaning buys you time to budget for a new roof, which is still valuable.

Can I clean my own roof safely?

Roof cleaning involves real safety risks, especially on steep or wet surfaces. Even if you’re comfortable on ladders, roofs become slippery when wet, and cleaning solutions can make surfaces even more treacherous. Beyond safety, most homeowners don’t have access to the right cleaning solutions or equipment to do the job effectively. Store-bought cleaners rarely work as well as professional products, and using the wrong chemicals can damage your roof or landscaping. If you’re determined to try it yourself, stick to single-story roofs with gentle slopes, use proper safety equipment, and research the right cleaning methods for your specific roof material.
