Your Roof Problems, Actually Solved

You know that black streaking on your roof isn’t just ugly—it’s eating away at your shingles. Those green patches of moss aren’t just unsightly, they’re lifting your shingles and creating entry points for water damage.

When we clean your roof, you’re not just getting cosmetic improvement. You’re getting years added back to your roof’s life. You’re getting curb appeal that makes your neighbors take notice. You’re getting the peace of mind that comes from knowing your biggest investment is protected.

Most importantly, you’re getting results that last. We don’t just spray and pray—we use proven methods that address the root cause of roof staining and growth, not just the symptoms you can see from the street.

Lesage Roof Cleaning Company

We Know Kentucky Roofs

We’ve been cleaning roofs in Lesage and throughout Kentucky long enough to understand what works and what doesn’t. We know that Kentucky’s humid climate creates perfect conditions for algae and moss growth. We know which cleaning methods protect your shingles and which ones cause expensive damage.

Most roof cleaning companies treat every job the same. We treat every roof based on its specific material, age, and condition. We’re fully licensed and insured because roof cleaning done wrong can cost you thousands in repairs.

We’ve built our reputation on doing the job right the first time, using professional-grade equipment and proven techniques that protect your investment while delivering the results you’re paying for.

Our Roof Cleaning Process

How We Clean Without Damage

First, we inspect your roof to identify problem areas and determine the safest, most effective cleaning approach for your specific roofing material. Not all roofs are the same, and cookie-cutter approaches lead to damage.

Next, we protect your landscaping and property with tarps and barriers. Our cleaning solutions are designed to be tough on stains and growth but safe for your plants and outdoor surfaces.

The actual cleaning uses low-pressure techniques combined with professional-grade solutions that break down algae, moss, and organic staining at the source. We never use high-pressure washing that can damage or dislodge shingles.

Finally, we conduct a thorough rinse and cleanup, leaving your property cleaner than we found it. You’ll see immediate results, and the treatment continues working for months to prevent regrowth and keep your roof looking fresh.

What's Included in Every Job

Every roof cleaning includes a comprehensive inspection to identify potential issues before they become expensive problems. You’re not just getting a cleaning—you’re getting a professional assessment of your roof’s condition.

The service covers complete removal of algae, moss, lichen, and organic staining. We also clean gutters and downspouts as part of the process, since clogged gutters contribute to roof problems and water damage.

You get protection for all landscaping, walkways, and outdoor furniture during the cleaning process. The job isn’t finished until your property is completely clean and restored to its original condition, minus the roof stains and growth that brought us there in the first place.

How often should I have my roof professionally cleaned?

Most roofs in Kentucky benefit from professional cleaning every 2-3 years, depending on your specific environment and roof material. Homes with heavy tree coverage or north-facing slopes may need more frequent attention due to increased moisture and reduced sunlight. The key is addressing staining and growth before it becomes embedded in your shingles. Regular cleaning is much more cost-effective than dealing with premature roof replacement due to algae and moss damage.

Will roof cleaning damage my shingles or void my warranty?

Professional roof cleaning using proper low-pressure techniques and appropriate cleaning solutions will not damage quality shingles or void manufacturer warranties. In fact, many roofing warranties require regular maintenance to remain valid. The damage comes from high-pressure washing or harsh chemicals used by inexperienced cleaners. We use industry-approved methods that clean effectively while preserving the integrity of your roofing materials and granule coating.

What causes those black streaks on my roof?

Those black streaks are caused by gloeocapsa magma, a type of algae that feeds on the limestone filler in asphalt shingles. This algae thrives in Kentucky’s humid climate and spreads across your roof over time. It’s not just cosmetic—the algae actually breaks down your shingles and reduces their effectiveness. The streaks typically start on north-facing slopes where there’s less direct sunlight and more moisture retention, then spread to other areas of your roof.

How long does the roof cleaning process take?

Most residential roof cleaning jobs take 4-6 hours from start to finish, including setup, cleaning, and thorough cleanup. The exact time depends on your roof size, the extent of staining or growth, and the complexity of your roofline. We don’t rush the process because proper preparation and technique are essential for both effectiveness and safety. You’ll see immediate results, and the cleaning solution continues working for several weeks to eliminate any remaining algae and prevent regrowth.

Is roof cleaning worth the cost compared to roof replacement?

Professional roof cleaning typically costs a fraction of roof replacement while extending your roof’s lifespan by several years. A roof replacement in Kentucky can cost $15,000-30,000 or more, while professional cleaning costs hundreds, not thousands. Regular cleaning removes the algae and moss that cause premature aging and damage to shingles. Many homeowners are surprised to discover their “old” roof just needed proper cleaning to look and function like new again.

Will the cleaning solutions harm my landscaping or pets?

We use eco-friendly cleaning solutions and take extensive precautions to protect your landscaping, including pre-wetting plants and covering sensitive areas with tarps. Our solutions are biodegradable and safe for pets and plants when used properly. We thoroughly rinse all areas after cleaning to ensure no residue remains. Many of our cleaning agents are actually less harsh than common household cleaners, but we still treat your property with the same care we’d want for our own homes and families.
