What Clean Really Looks Like

Your roof stops looking like it’s been abandoned. Those black streaks and green patches disappear, and suddenly your home looks like you actually care about it again.

But here’s what matters more than appearances. That algae and moss isn’t just ugly – it’s literally eating your shingles. Every month you wait, it’s working deeper into the material, shortening your roof’s life and setting you up for an expensive replacement years before you should need one.

Clean roofs last longer. They protect your home better. And they keep your property value where it should be instead of dragging it down because your house looks neglected from the street.

Roof Cleaning Company Hollywood KY

We Know Kentucky Roofs

We’ve been cleaning roofs in the Hollywood-Mt. Vernon area long enough to understand what Kentucky weather does to your home. The humidity, the rain, the way algae grows here – it’s not the same as other places.

Most pressure washing companies treat roof cleaning like they’re washing a driveway. We don’t. We use the right pressure, the right techniques, and the right cleaning solutions because we’ve seen what happens when it’s done wrong.

Your neighbors trust us because we show up when we say we will, we do the work right, and we don’t try to sell you things you don’t need.

Roof Washing Process

How We Clean Without Damage

First, we inspect your roof to see what we’re dealing with. Not all stains are the same, and not all roofs need the same approach.

Then we apply our cleaning solution. This isn’t just soap and water – it’s designed to kill algae and moss at the root so it doesn’t come back in six months. We let it work for the right amount of time because rushing this step means the stains come back faster.

Finally, we rinse everything clean with low pressure. High pressure might look more dramatic, but it damages shingles. We use just enough pressure to remove the dead growth and stains without stripping granules or loosening shingles.

The whole process takes a few hours, and you’ll see the difference immediately. More importantly, your roof will stay cleaner longer because we actually killed the growth instead of just washing it off.

Roof Cleaning Services Kentucky

What's Included in Every Job

You get a complete roof cleaning, not just the parts that are easy to reach. We clean the entire roof surface, remove all visible algae and moss, and treat areas that are starting to show early signs of growth.

We also clean your gutters and downspouts as part of the service. There’s no point having a clean roof if your gutters are full of debris and staining your house.

Every job includes a post-cleaning inspection to make sure we didn’t miss anything and that your roof looks the way it should. We’ve been doing this in Kentucky long enough to know what a properly cleaned roof looks like, and we don’t consider the job done until it meets that standard.

How often should I have my roof cleaned in Kentucky?

Most roofs in our area need cleaning every 2-3 years, but it depends on your specific situation. Roofs with more shade from trees tend to grow algae and moss faster because they stay damp longer. North-facing slopes also tend to need more frequent cleaning. If you’re seeing black streaks or green patches, it’s time for a cleaning regardless of when you last had it done. The key is not waiting until it’s so bad that the growth has had time to damage your shingles.

Will roof cleaning damage my shingles or void my warranty?

Not when it’s done correctly. We use low-pressure techniques specifically designed for roofs – never the high pressure you’d use on concrete. The cleaning solutions we use are approved by shingle manufacturers and won’t void your warranty. In fact, many warranty claims get denied because of algae damage that could have been prevented with regular cleaning. We’ve been cleaning roofs in Kentucky for years without damage because we use the right methods and take the time to do it properly.

How much does professional roof cleaning cost?

Most residential roof cleaning jobs in our area run between $300-600, depending on the size of your roof and how much growth we’re dealing with. A typical single-story home usually falls on the lower end, while larger or steeper roofs cost more. We always give you an exact price before we start – no surprises or add-on fees. When you consider that a new roof costs $15,000-25,000, spending a few hundred dollars every few years to maintain the one you have makes financial sense.

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

Regular pressure washing uses high pressure to blast dirt and grime away. That works fine for driveways and sidewalks, but it’s too aggressive for roofs. Roof cleaning uses specialized low-pressure techniques and cleaning solutions that kill algae and moss rather than just washing it off. The cleaning solution does most of the work, and we use just enough pressure to rinse away the dead growth. This approach actually solves the problem instead of just temporarily hiding it, and it won’t damage your shingles in the process.

How long does the roof cleaning process take?

Most residential roofs take 3-5 hours from start to finish, including setup and cleanup. The actual cleaning happens pretty quickly, but we spend time on proper preparation and making sure we get complete coverage. We’re not rushing through your job to get to the next one – we take the time needed to do it right. You’ll start seeing results within minutes of applying the cleaning solution, and the full effect is visible as soon as we finish rinsing.

Can I clean my roof myself or should I hire professionals?

You can buy roof cleaning products at the store, but there are good reasons most people hire professionals. First, it’s dangerous – roofs are slippery even when dry, and wet roofs can be deadly. Second, using the wrong pressure or cleaning solution can damage your shingles and cost you thousands in repairs. We have the right equipment, safety gear, and experience to do the job safely and effectively. Most importantly, we know how to kill the growth at the root so your roof stays cleaner longer, which you can’t achieve with store-bought solutions.
