Your roof stops being an eyesore and starts being an asset again. Those black streaks and green patches disappear, but more importantly, the algae and moss that were slowly destroying your shingles are gone.

You’re looking at 5-10 extra years of roof life when you remove the organisms that break down roofing materials. That’s thousands saved on premature replacement costs.

Your home’s curb appeal jumps immediately. Neighbors notice. Your property value reflects a well-maintained home instead of one that looks neglected from the street.

Our Roof Washing Process

How We Clean Your Roof Safely

We start with a thorough inspection to identify your roof type, problem areas, and any existing damage that needs attention before cleaning begins.

Our cleaning process uses specialized low-pressure techniques and professional-grade solutions that kill algae, moss, and mildew at the root. No high-pressure washing that can damage or loosen shingles.

We protect your landscaping, clean your gutters of loosened debris, and ensure proper runoff management throughout the process. You get a clean roof without collateral damage to your property.

The results are immediate, but the real benefit builds over time as your roof stays cleaner longer and lasts years beyond what it would with continued organic growth.

You receive specific recommendations for maintaining your newly cleaned roof and realistic expectations for how long results will last in Kentucky’s climate.

Will roof cleaning damage my shingles or void my warranty?

Professional roof cleaning using proper low-pressure techniques won’t damage shingles or void warranties. We use specialized equipment and cleaning solutions designed specifically for roofing materials. High-pressure washing can damage shingles, which is why we avoid it entirely. Most roofing manufacturers actually recommend regular cleaning to maintain warranty coverage, as organic growth can cause premature deterioration that might not be covered under warranty claims.

How often should I have my roof cleaned in Kentucky?

Most Kentucky homes need roof cleaning every 2-3 years due to our humid climate that promotes algae and moss growth. Homes with significant tree coverage or north-facing roof sections may need cleaning more frequently. The key is addressing growth before it becomes established and starts damaging your roofing materials. Regular cleaning is much more cost-effective than dealing with premature roof replacement caused by organic buildup breaking down shingles over time.

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

Roof cleaning uses specialized low-pressure techniques and professional cleaning solutions to kill and remove organic growth without damaging shingles. Pressure washing uses high-pressure water that can loosen, crack, or remove shingles entirely. Many roofing problems we see come from improper pressure washing attempts. Professional roof cleaning takes longer but preserves your roof’s integrity while achieving better long-term results. The cleaning solutions we use continue working after application, preventing regrowth longer than pressure washing alone.

How much does professional roof cleaning cost compared to replacement?

Professional roof cleaning typically costs a fraction of roof replacement – usually under $1,000 for most homes versus $15,000-30,000 for full replacement. When you consider that proper cleaning can extend your roof’s life by 5-10 years, the return on investment is substantial. Many homeowners who think they need roof replacement actually just need thorough cleaning to remove the organic growth that’s making their roof look aged and deteriorated. We’ll give you an honest assessment of whether cleaning or replacement makes more sense for your situation.

Is roof cleaning safe for my landscaping and property?

Yes, when done properly with appropriate protection measures. We cover and wet down all landscaping before starting, use plant-safe cleaning solutions, and manage runoff to prevent any damage to your property. Our cleaning solutions are designed to break down quickly and won’t harm established plants when proper precautions are taken. We also protect outdoor furniture, vehicles, and walkways throughout the process. Any reputable roof cleaning company should include comprehensive property protection as part of their standard service.

Can I clean my roof myself to save money?

DIY roof cleaning is possible but comes with significant risks and limitations. You need proper safety equipment, specialized cleaning solutions, and knowledge of different roofing materials to avoid damage. Most homeowners don’t have professional-grade equipment or experience with proper application techniques. The safety risks of working on roofs, especially when wet from cleaning solutions, are substantial. Additionally, improper cleaning can damage your roof and void warranties, potentially costing much more than professional service. For most homeowners, professional cleaning is the safer, more effective choice.
