What Clean Roofs Actually Do

You drive up to a house that looks like it belongs in the neighborhood again. No more black streaks making your home the eyesore on the block.

Your roof isn’t just cleaner—it’s healthier. The algae and moss that were slowly eating away at your shingles are gone. That means fewer leaks, fewer repairs, and years added to your roof’s life.

Your energy bills drop because your roof isn’t absorbing extra heat from dark stains. Your home value stays strong because buyers see a well-maintained property, not one that screams “expensive problems ahead.”

Lexington Oaks Roof Cleaners

We Know Kentucky Roofs

We’ve been cleaning roofs in the Lexington area for years. We understand what Kentucky’s humid summers and wet springs do to your roof.

Every day, we see the same problems: algae turning roofs black, moss lifting shingles, and homeowners who tried pressure washing only to create bigger headaches. We’ve perfected our approach to handle what grows on roofs here without causing the damage that comes from guessing.

You’re not getting a fly-by-night operation. You’re getting a local business that has to face the neighbors if something goes wrong.

Our Roof Cleaning Process

How We Clean Without Damage

We start with a thorough inspection of your roof and gutters. This tells us what we’re dealing with and helps us spot any existing issues before we begin.

Next comes the actual cleaning using our soft wash system. This isn’t pressure washing—it’s a low-pressure application of cleaning solutions that kill algae and moss at the root. The solution does the work, not high-pressure water that can damage shingles.

We protect your landscaping with tarps and rinse everything thoroughly. Most of the staining and growth rinses away naturally over the following weeks as rain activates the treatment. You’ll see the full results within 30 days, and your roof stays cleaner longer because we’ve eliminated the organisms causing the problems.

What's Included in Every Job

Every roof cleaning includes inspection, soft wash treatment, gutter cleaning, and complete cleanup. We document everything with before and after photos for your records.

You get treatment that kills algae, moss, lichen, and other growth. We clean your gutters because dirty gutters defeat the purpose of a clean roof. Your landscaping gets protected, and we handle all the cleanup.

Most importantly, you get results that last. Our soft wash method doesn’t just clean the surface—it eliminates the organisms that cause staining. That means your roof stays cleaner longer, unlike pressure washing that just removes the visible part while leaving the roots to regrow quickly.

Will pressure washing damage my roof shingles?

Yes, pressure washing can absolutely damage your roof. High-pressure water can lift shingles, force water under them, and strip away the protective granules that shield your roof from UV rays. That’s why we use a soft wash system instead. Our low-pressure method relies on cleaning solutions to do the work, not force. The results last longer because we’re killing the algae and moss at the source, not just blasting off the surface layer. Your shingles stay intact, and your roof stays protected.

How long do roof cleaning results typically last?

With our soft wash method, you can expect results to last 3-5 years, sometimes longer depending on your roof’s exposure and the local environment. Traditional pressure washing might look good immediately, but the stains return within 6-12 months because the organisms weren’t eliminated. Our treatment kills the algae and moss completely, so regrowth takes much longer. The humid Kentucky climate means nothing lasts forever, but our method gives you the longest-lasting results possible while protecting your roof’s integrity.

Is roof cleaning safe for my plants and landscaping?

We take extensive precautions to protect your landscaping. Before we start, we cover plants, flowers, and shrubs with tarps and plastic sheeting. We also pre-wet and post-rinse all vegetation to dilute any cleaning solution that might come into contact with plants. Our cleaning solutions break down quickly and won’t harm your landscaping when proper precautions are taken. We’ve been doing this long enough to know that protecting your property is just as important as cleaning your roof. Damaged landscaping isn’t worth a clean roof.

When is the best time of year for roof cleaning?

Spring and fall are ideal for roof cleaning in Kentucky. Spring cleaning removes the winter buildup and prepares your roof for the humid summer months when algae grows fastest. Fall cleaning eliminates the growth that accumulated over summer and gets your roof ready for winter weather. We can clean roofs year-round as long as temperatures are above freezing, but avoid scheduling during heavy pollen season if you have severe allergies. The key is cleaning before problems get worse, not waiting until your roof looks terrible.

Do I need to be home during the roof cleaning?

You don’t need to be home, but we recommend it for the initial walkthrough and final inspection. We’ll show you any issues we spot and explain what we’re doing. If you can’t be there, we document everything with photos and provide a detailed report. We do need access to water and sometimes need to move outdoor furniture or decorations. As long as we can reach your roof safely and have the access we need, we can work while you’re away. Most jobs take 2-4 hours depending on your roof’s size and condition.

Will my homeowner's insurance cover roof cleaning costs?

Most homeowner’s insurance policies don’t cover routine roof cleaning since it’s considered maintenance, not damage repair. However, some insurance companies offer discounts for documented roof maintenance, and regular cleaning can prevent claims by extending your roof’s life. If your roof has damage from neglect that could have been prevented with cleaning, insurance might not cover those repairs. We provide detailed documentation of our work that you can submit to your insurance company. It’s worth checking with your agent about maintenance requirements and potential discounts.
