Everything Your Roof Needs

Our roof cleaning service covers the complete cleaning and restoration of your roof surface. We remove algae, moss, lichen, and those stubborn black streaks that pressure washing alone can’t handle.

This isn’t a quick spray-and-go service. We take the time to do it right because your roof deserves better than a band-aid solution.

Will roof cleaning damage my shingles or void my warranty?

Proper roof cleaning actually helps maintain your warranty compliance. Most shingle manufacturers require regular maintenance, and our gentle cleaning methods meet their specifications. We avoid high-pressure washing that can strip granules or force water under shingles. Instead, we use specialized cleaning solutions and controlled application techniques that remove contaminants without damaging your roof. Many homeowners are surprised to learn that neglecting roof cleaning is more likely to void their warranty than professional maintenance.

How often should I have my roof professionally cleaned?

Most roofs in Open Gates benefit from professional cleaning every 2-3 years, but Kentucky’s humid climate can accelerate algae and moss growth. If you’re seeing black streaks, green patches, or any discoloration, it’s time for cleaning regardless of the timeline. Waiting too long means the contaminants become harder to remove and may require more aggressive treatment. Regular cleaning is always easier and less expensive than dealing with advanced growth that’s had years to establish roots in your shingles.

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

Roof cleaning uses specialized solutions and controlled techniques to break down algae and moss at the source. Pressure washing relies on force alone, which can damage shingles, strip protective granules, and force water into places it shouldn’t go. Think of it like removing a stain from fabric – you wouldn’t just blast it with water and hope for the best. Proper roof cleaning treats the cause of discoloration, not just the symptoms, which means results last longer and your roof stays healthier.

Can I clean my roof myself to save money?

DIY roof cleaning puts you at serious risk for injury and can cause expensive damage if done incorrectly. Professional roof cleaners have the right equipment, safety training, and experience to work safely on steep, potentially slippery surfaces. We also know which cleaning products are safe for different roofing materials and how to apply them without causing damage. The cost of professional cleaning is minimal compared to emergency room bills, roof repairs, or full replacement from DIY mistakes.

How long does the roof cleaning process take?

Most residential roof cleaning jobs take 4-6 hours depending on your roof size and the extent of cleaning needed. We’re not rushing through your property – proper cleaning requires time for solutions to work, careful application, and thorough rinsing. You don’t need to be home during the entire process, but we’ll walk you through our findings and recommendations when we’re finished. Weather can affect timing, so we’ll keep you updated if conditions require rescheduling for optimal results.

What should I expect to pay for professional roof cleaning?

Roof cleaning costs vary based on your roof size, pitch, and condition, but most homeowners in Open Gates invest between $300-800 for complete cleaning. This includes inspection, cleaning, rinsing, and gutter cleaning. Consider that professional cleaning can extend your roof’s life by years – potentially saving thousands in premature replacement costs. We provide upfront pricing after evaluating your specific situation, so you know exactly what you’re paying before we start work.
