We Know Kentucky Roofs Inside Out

Lighten Enterprise has been cleaning roofs in Mentelle and throughout Kentucky for years. We understand how our humid climate creates perfect conditions for algae and moss growth.

We’re not the guys who show up with a pressure washer and hope for the best. We use soft washing techniques specifically designed for roof cleaning because we know how to remove buildup without damaging your shingles.

Our Roof Washing Process

Here's Exactly How We Clean Your Roof

First, we inspect your roof to identify problem areas and check for any existing damage. We protect your landscaping and outdoor furniture because our cleaning solutions are strong enough to kill algae but we don’t want them on your plants.

Next, we apply our eco-friendly cleaning solution using low-pressure equipment. No high-pressure washing that can damage or loosen shingles. The solution does the work, breaking down algae, moss, and lichen at the root level.

Finally, we rinse everything clean with controlled water pressure. You’ll see the difference immediately, but the cleaning continues working for weeks as remaining organic matter breaks down and washes away naturally.

Complete Roof Cleaning Solutions

Everything Your Roof Needs in One Service

You get complete algae and moss removal from every surface of your roof. We don’t just clean the visible front-facing areas – we clean the entire roof because buildup on the back can be just as damaging.

We include gutter cleaning when needed because a clean roof means debris will wash into your gutters. We also inspect and clean your roof’s valleys and edges where buildup tends to be heaviest.

Your landscaping stays protected throughout the process. We pre-wet plants and cover sensitive areas because we know you’ve invested in your yard too. You get a clean roof without sacrificing your garden.

Will roof cleaning damage my shingles or void my warranty?

Professional roof cleaning actually protects your warranty when done correctly. We use soft washing techniques with low-pressure application that won’t damage or dislodge shingles. High-pressure washing can void warranties, which is why we avoid it completely. Our eco-friendly cleaning solutions are approved by major shingle manufacturers and actually help maintain warranty compliance by preventing organic buildup that can cause premature deterioration. Most roofing warranties require regular maintenance, and professional cleaning is considered proper maintenance when done with appropriate methods.

How often should I have my roof professionally cleaned?

Most roofs in Mentelle need cleaning every 2-3 years due to Kentucky’s humid climate that promotes algae and moss growth. However, the frequency depends on several factors including your roof’s age, surrounding trees, and the amount of shade your roof receives. Heavily shaded roofs or those with overhanging branches may need annual cleaning. You’ll know it’s time when you see dark streaking, green patches, or moss buildup. Regular cleaning every few years costs much less than dealing with premature roof failure from neglect.

What's the difference between pressure washing and soft washing for roofs?

Pressure washing uses high-pressure water that can damage shingles, force water under them, and actually spread algae spores to clean areas. Soft washing uses low-pressure application with specialized cleaning solutions that kill algae and moss at the root level. The solution does the cleaning work, not the pressure. This method is safer for your roof, more effective at preventing regrowth, and won’t void manufacturer warranties. Soft washing also lasts longer because it eliminates the organisms causing the buildup rather than just blasting them away temporarily.

Is roof cleaning safe for my plants and landscaping?

Yes, when proper precautions are taken. We pre-wet all plants and cover sensitive landscaping before starting any roof cleaning work. Our cleaning solutions are biodegradable and become harmless once diluted, but we don’t take chances with your garden. We also rinse plants thoroughly after completing the job. Professional roof cleaners know how to protect your property – DIY attempts often result in damaged landscaping because homeowners don’t realize how important pre-treatment and coverage are for plant protection.

How long does the roof cleaning process take?

Most residential roof cleaning jobs take 2-4 hours depending on your roof’s size and the extent of buildup. We’re not rushing through the job, but we’re not wasting your time either. The process includes setup, plant protection, cleaning solution application, dwell time for the solution to work, and final rinsing. Weather conditions can affect timing – we won’t work in high winds or during rain for safety reasons. You’ll see immediate results, but the cleaning continues working for several weeks as remaining organic matter breaks down naturally.

What does professional roof cleaning cost compared to roof replacement?

Professional roof cleaning typically costs a fraction of what you’d pay for roof replacement – usually a few hundred dollars versus tens of thousands for a new roof. Regular cleaning can extend your roof’s life by 10-15 years, making it one of the best investments in home maintenance. When you consider that algae and moss can cut your roof’s lifespan in half, the math is simple. Spending a small amount every few years on professional cleaning saves you from premature replacement costs and maintains your home’s value and curb appeal.
