Roof Cleaning Process

How We Clean Your Roof Right

First, we inspect your roof to identify problem areas and check for any existing damage. This tells us exactly what we’re dealing with and ensures we use the right approach for your specific situation.

Next, we apply our cleaning solution that breaks down algae, moss, and organic buildup without damaging your shingles. We use low-pressure techniques—no harsh pressure washing that can strip granules or force water under shingles.

Finally, we rinse everything clean and inspect our work. You’ll see the difference immediately, and we’ll point out any areas that might need attention down the road. The whole process typically takes a few hours, depending on your roof size.

How often should I have my roof professionally cleaned?

Most Kentucky roofs benefit from professional cleaning every 2-3 years, but it depends on your specific situation. Roofs with heavy tree coverage or north-facing slopes often need attention sooner because they stay damp longer and grow algae faster. If you’re seeing black streaks, green moss, or any discoloration, it’s time for cleaning regardless of when you last had it done. Waiting longer doesn’t save money—it just makes the problem harder and more expensive to fix.

Will pressure washing damage my shingles?

High-pressure washing absolutely can damage shingles by stripping protective granules and forcing water underneath. That’s why we use low-pressure, soft-wash techniques combined with specialized cleaning solutions. Our method lets the cleaning solution do the work, not water pressure. This approach is safer for your roof and more effective at removing organic growth. The key is using the right pressure for the job—enough to clean effectively, but not so much that it causes damage.

Can I clean my roof myself?

You can, but it’s risky and often ineffective. Roof cleaning requires specific equipment, cleaning solutions, and safety gear that most homeowners don’t have. More importantly, it’s dangerous—roof work causes thousands of injuries every year. Even if you manage to clean safely, using the wrong products or techniques can damage your shingles or just provide temporary results. Professional cleaning costs less than emergency room visits or roof repairs, and it actually solves the problem long-term.

What causes those black streaks on my roof?

Those black streaks are algae, specifically a type called Gloeocapsa magma that feeds on the limestone in your shingles. Kentucky’s humid climate creates perfect conditions for this algae to grow and spread. It starts small but gradually covers more of your roof, and it’s not just cosmetic—it’s actually eating away at your shingles and shortening their lifespan. The streaks will only get worse over time, and they’re much easier to remove when caught early rather than after years of growth.

How long does roof cleaning take?

Most residential roof cleaning jobs take 3-6 hours, depending on your roof size and the extent of buildup. We’re not rushing through the job, but we’re not wasting your time either. The process involves inspection, application of cleaning solutions, allowing time for the solution to work, rinsing, and final inspection. Weather can affect timing—we won’t work in unsafe conditions, and we need dry weather for the best results. We’ll give you a realistic timeframe when we assess your specific situation.

Is roof cleaning worth the cost?

Professional roof cleaning typically costs a few hundred dollars but can extend your roof’s life by years, potentially saving you thousands in premature replacement costs. A new roof in Kentucky can cost $15,000-30,000 or more, while regular cleaning maintains your existing roof for a fraction of that cost. Beyond the financial benefits, clean roofs improve your home’s appearance and value. When you consider the cost of replacement versus maintenance, roof cleaning pays for itself many times over.
