What Clean Really Looks Like

Your roof stops being an eyesore and starts being something you’re proud of. The black streaks disappear. The moss that’s been eating away at your shingles gets completely removed.

You get years added back to your roof’s life because the algae that was slowly destroying it is gone. Your home looks like it belongs in the neighborhood again instead of dragging down the block’s appearance.

The best part? You avoid that sinking feeling of wondering if you’ll need a new roof sooner than expected. Clean roofs last longer, period. And when your roof lasts longer, you save thousands on premature replacement costs.

Jonestown Roof Cleaning Company

We Know Kentucky Roofs

We’ve been cleaning roofs in Jonestown and surrounding Kentucky communities for years. We understand what Kentucky’s humid climate does to roofs and exactly how to fix it.

We’re not a national franchise following a generic playbook. We’re local professionals who’ve seen every type of roof problem this area throws at homeowners. From the algae that thrives in our summers to the moss that takes hold during wet seasons.

You get technicians who know the difference between cleaning methods that work and ones that damage your roof. That knowledge matters when you’re trusting someone with your home’s most expensive component.

Roof Washing Process

How We Clean Without Damage

We start with a thorough inspection to identify problem areas and determine the safest cleaning approach for your specific roof type. No two roofs get the same treatment because no two roofs have identical needs.

Next comes the actual cleaning using low-pressure techniques that remove buildup without damaging shingles. We’re not power washing your roof into submission. We’re using the right pressure, right chemicals, and right techniques to get everything off safely.

The final step involves a complete rinse and cleanup of your property. You get a clean roof and clean gutters without debris scattered across your yard. We handle the mess so you don’t have to deal with it later.

What's Included in Every Job

Every roof cleaning includes removal of algae, moss, lichen, and debris that’s accumulated over time. We clean the entire roof surface, not just the visible problem areas from the street.

Gutter cleaning comes standard because dirty gutters defeat the purpose of a clean roof. We clear all debris, check for proper drainage, and make sure water flows away from your foundation like it should.

You also get a post-cleaning inspection where we point out any potential issues we noticed during the work. We’re not trying to sell you additional services, but if we spot a loose shingle or damaged flashing, you deserve to know about it before it becomes a bigger problem.

How often should I have my roof professionally cleaned?

Most Kentucky homeowners need roof cleaning every 2-3 years, but it depends on your specific situation. Homes with lots of tree coverage or north-facing roof sections might need cleaning more frequently because those areas stay damp longer and encourage algae growth. If you’re seeing black streaks or green moss patches, it’s time for cleaning regardless of when you last had it done. Waiting too long means the buildup gets harder to remove and potentially causes permanent staining or damage.

Will pressure washing damage my roof shingles?

High-pressure washing absolutely can damage shingles, which is why we don’t use it. Traditional pressure washing can strip granules off asphalt shingles, force water under shingles, and even crack or break older roofing materials. We use low-pressure techniques combined with specialized cleaning solutions that do the heavy lifting. The chemicals break down the algae and moss, then we rinse everything away with just enough pressure to remove the buildup without harming your roof.

What causes those black streaks on my roof?

Those black streaks are algae, specifically a type called Gloeocapsa magma that feeds on the limestone filler in asphalt shingles. Kentucky’s humid climate creates perfect conditions for this algae to thrive. It starts small but spreads across your roof over time, creating those unsightly dark stains. Beyond looking terrible, this algae actually shortens your roof’s lifespan by breaking down the shingle material. The sooner you remove it, the better for both your home’s appearance and your roof’s longevity.

Is roof cleaning worth the cost compared to replacement?

Professional roof cleaning costs a fraction of roof replacement and can add years to your roof’s life. A typical roof cleaning runs a few hundred dollars while roof replacement costs tens of thousands. If your roof’s structure is sound but just looks terrible due to algae and moss buildup, cleaning is absolutely worth it. Many homeowners are surprised to discover their “old” roof actually has plenty of life left once the damaging buildup is removed. Cleaning also maintains your property value better than letting your roof deteriorate.

Can I clean my roof myself safely?

Roof cleaning involves significant safety risks and requires specialized equipment most homeowners don’t have. Beyond the obvious fall hazards, DIY roof cleaning often leads to damage from using wrong pressure settings or harsh chemicals that strip shingle granules. The cleaning solutions needed to effectively remove algae and moss can also be dangerous to handle without proper training and protective equipment. Professional roof cleaners have the safety gear, insurance, and experience to do the job without putting anyone at risk.

How long does the roof cleaning process take?

Most residential roof cleaning jobs take 3-6 hours depending on your roof’s size and condition. Heavily soiled roofs with thick moss buildup take longer than roofs with just algae staining. We’re not rushing through the job because thorough cleaning requires time for chemicals to work and proper rinsing to remove all residue. Weather can also affect timing since we won’t work on roofs during high winds or storms. We’ll give you a realistic timeframe when we inspect your roof and explain what factors might extend the work.
