Your Roof Problems Actually Solved

You know those black streaks running down your roof? They’re not just ugly – they’re algae that’s literally eating your shingles. Every month you wait, they’re shortening your roof’s life and making your home look neglected.

Here’s what changes after professional roof cleaning. Those embarrassing dark stains disappear completely. Your home looks well-maintained again. Your neighbors stop wondering what’s wrong with your house.

More importantly, you stop the damage. Clean roofs last years longer than dirty ones. You’re not just improving how things look – you’re protecting the biggest investment you’ll ever make. That’s the difference between cosmetic cleaning and actual roof care.

Nelse Roof Cleaning Company

We Actually Know Kentucky Roofs

We’ve been cleaning roofs in Kentucky long enough to understand what works here and what doesn’t. We know how our humid summers create perfect conditions for algae growth. We know which cleaning methods protect your shingles and which ones destroy them.

Most pressure washing companies treat roof cleaning like driveway cleaning. That’s how you end up with damaged shingles and problems that come back in six months. We use specialized equipment and techniques designed specifically for roofing materials.

You’re not getting a general contractor who does roofs on the side. You’re getting roof cleaning specialists who understand the difference between getting roofs clean and keeping them clean.

Our Roof Washing Process

How We Clean Without Damaging

First, we inspect your entire roof to identify problem areas and check for any existing damage. We’re not just looking at stains – we’re evaluating the overall condition so we know exactly how to approach the cleaning.

Next, we protect your gutters, landscaping, and anything else that could be affected by the cleaning process. This isn’t optional prep work – it’s how you avoid problems that other companies create.

Then comes the actual cleaning using low-pressure techniques and specialized solutions that kill algae and moss at the root level. We’re not just washing the surface – we’re treating the underlying growth that causes the stains. The process takes time because we’re doing it right, not fast.

Finally, we do a complete walkthrough with you to show the results and explain what you can expect going forward. Clean roofs stay cleaner longer when they’re properly maintained.

Complete Roof Cleaning Service

Everything Your Roof Actually Needs

You get complete algae and moss removal, not just surface cleaning that looks good for a few weeks. We treat the entire roof system – shingles, gutters, and downspouts – so everything works together properly.

The service includes protection for your landscaping, windows, and outdoor furniture. We’ve seen too many roof cleaning jobs that damaged everything around the house. That’s not professional work – that’s careless work.

You also get a thorough inspection report that identifies any issues we found during cleaning. Sometimes roof problems hide under the grime. Finding them early saves you thousands compared to discovering them during the next storm. We’re not looking to sell you extra services – we’re helping you avoid expensive surprises.

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, crack shingles, and force water under the roofing material where it causes rot and leaks. We use low-pressure soft washing techniques that rely on specialized cleaning solutions rather than force. The cleaning agents do the work of removing algae and stains while gentle rinsing removes the debris. This method is recommended by roofing manufacturers and actually extends your roof’s life instead of shortening it.

How long will my roof stay clean after washing?

A properly cleaned roof typically stays clean for 2-4 years, depending on your specific conditions like tree coverage and humidity levels. The key difference is in the cleaning method – surface cleaning that just removes visible stains will fail within months because the root systems are still alive. Our treatment kills algae and moss completely, which means they have to regrow from scratch rather than just rebuilding on existing colonies. Roofs with heavy tree coverage or constant shade may need more frequent cleaning, while roofs with good sun exposure stay cleaner longer.

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

Roof cleaning requires completely different equipment, techniques, and cleaning solutions than regular pressure washing. Standard pressure washing uses high pressure and basic detergents that can damage roofing materials and don’t effectively kill organic growth. Professional roof cleaning uses specialized low-pressure equipment and biocides designed specifically for roofing materials. We also use different techniques for different types of stains and roofing materials. A pressure washing company that cleans driveways and houses isn’t equipped to properly clean roofs without causing damage.

Is roof cleaning worth the cost compared to just replacing the roof?

Professional roof cleaning costs a fraction of roof replacement and can extend your roof’s life by 5-10 years when done properly. A typical roof cleaning runs a few hundred dollars while roof replacement costs tens of thousands. More importantly, many roofs that look like they need replacement actually just need proper cleaning. Algae and moss make roofs look old and damaged when the underlying structure is still sound. We’ve cleaned roofs that homeowners were planning to replace, saving them thousands of dollars. Even if your roof does eventually need replacement, proper cleaning helps you get maximum life from your current roof.

Will the cleaning solutions harm my plants and landscaping?

We take extensive precautions to protect your landscaping throughout the entire process. Before we start, we thoroughly water all plants and cover sensitive vegetation with protective sheeting. We use plant-safe cleaning solutions and immediately rinse any areas where runoff might occur. Our process includes post-cleaning rinses for all landscaping to ensure no residue remains. We’ve been doing this long enough to know which plants are most sensitive and how to protect them. In our years of roof cleaning, we’ve never had a landscaping damage claim because protection is built into our process, not added as an afterthought.

How do I know if my roof needs professional cleaning?

Visible black streaks, green moss patches, or dark staining are obvious signs your roof needs cleaning. But you might need cleaning even without obvious stains – algae often starts growing in less visible areas like north-facing slopes or sections shaded by trees. If your roof looks darker than it used to, or if you notice granules in your gutters, organic growth is likely present. The longer you wait, the harder the cleaning becomes and the more damage occurs to your shingles. Most homeowners wait too long because they don’t realize the stains are actually living organisms that continue growing and causing damage every day.
