Roof Cleaning Process

How We Clean Your Roof

First, we inspect your roof to identify problem areas and choose the right cleaning method. Most roofs get our soft wash treatment – low pressure that’s safe for shingles but tough on algae and moss.

We protect your landscaping, then apply our cleaning solution. This breaks down the algae, moss, and stains that regular water can’t touch. The solution does the heavy lifting, not high pressure that can damage your roof.

After treatment, we rinse everything clean with controlled water pressure. You’ll see the difference immediately. Most stains disappear on contact, and any remaining residue continues breaking down over the next few weeks.

How much does professional roof cleaning cost in Hermitage Hills?

Roof cleaning typically costs between $300-800 depending on your roof size, pitch, and condition. Most homes in Hermitage Hills fall in the $400-600 range. We provide free estimates so you know exactly what you’re paying before we start. The cost is a fraction of roof replacement, which runs $15,000-30,000 for most homes. When you consider that proper cleaning can extend your roof’s life by 5-10 years, it’s one of the best investments you can make in your home.

Will pressure washing damage my roof shingles?

High-pressure washing absolutely can damage shingles, which is why we use soft wash techniques for most roofs. Our low-pressure system relies on specialized cleaning solutions to break down algae and moss, not brute force. We adjust pressure based on your roof material – what works for metal roofing would destroy asphalt shingles. Most roof damage from cleaning happens when homeowners try DIY pressure washing or hire companies that use one-size-fits-all approaches. We know the difference.

How often should I have my roof cleaned?

Most Kentucky homes need roof cleaning every 2-3 years due to our humid climate. If you’re seeing black streaks or green moss growth, it’s time for cleaning regardless of timeline. Homes with heavy tree coverage or north-facing slopes may need annual cleaning. The key is addressing problems before they cause permanent damage. Algae and moss don’t just look bad – they actually eat away at roofing materials and can cause leaks if left untreated.

What's the difference between algae and moss on roofs?

Algae creates those black streaks you see running down shingles. It feeds on limestone in asphalt shingles and spreads quickly in humid conditions. Moss is the green, fuzzy growth that typically starts in shaded areas. Both are problems, but moss is more dangerous because it lifts shingles and can cause leaks. Algae mainly affects appearance and gradually weakens shingles. Moss requires more aggressive treatment and sometimes manual removal. Both respond well to professional cleaning, but the approach differs based on severity and roof material.

Is roof cleaning safe for my landscaping?

Professional roof cleaning is safe for landscaping when done correctly. We pre-wet all plants and cover sensitive vegetation before applying cleaning solutions. Our eco-friendly products break down quickly and won’t harm established plants, but we take precautions anyway. We also control runoff to prevent concentrated chemicals from pooling around plant roots. DIY roof cleaning often damages landscaping because homeowners don’t know how to protect plants or use harsh chemicals incorrectly. We have the right products and know-how to protect your investment.

Can I clean my own roof to save money?

You can, but it’s risky and often ineffective. Roof cleaning requires specialized equipment, proper safety gear, and knowledge of different cleaning methods for different materials. Most homeowners either don’t clean thoroughly enough or use too much pressure and damage shingles. There’s also the safety factor – roof cleaning injuries are common and expensive. We have insurance, proper equipment, and experience working on steep, slippery surfaces. When you factor in equipment rental, cleaning products, and your time, professional cleaning often costs less than DIY attempts.
