What Clean Roofs Do For You

Your roof stops looking like it belongs in a horror movie. Those black streaks, green moss patches, and grimy buildup disappear, and suddenly your house looks like you actually care about it again.

But here’s what really matters: a clean roof lasts longer. All that organic growth isn’t just ugly—it’s literally eating away at your shingles. Moss holds moisture against your roof deck. Algae creates heat-absorbing dark spots that make your AC work harder.

When you remove this stuff properly, your roof can do its job. It sheds water like it’s supposed to. It reflects heat instead of absorbing it. And it stops deteriorating from the inside out, which means you’re not replacing it in ten years when it should have lasted twenty.

Palomar Roof Cleaning Company

We Know Kentucky Roofs

We’ve been cleaning roofs in Kentucky long enough to know what works and what doesn’t. We’ve seen what happens when someone takes a pressure washer to asphalt shingles, and we’ve cleaned up after the guys who promise cheap and deliver disaster.

We use soft-wash methods because Kentucky’s humid climate grows stuff on roofs that needs to be killed, not just blasted off. Our approach removes the organisms causing the problem, not just the visible symptoms.

We’re local, licensed, and insured. We show up when we say we will, and we clean your roof without turning your landscaping into a casualty zone.

Roof Cleaning Process

How We Clean Without Damaging

First, we inspect your roof and identify what we’re dealing with. Moss, algae, and lichen all require different approaches. We also check for any existing damage or areas that need special attention.

Next, we protect your landscaping and apply our cleaning solution. This isn’t just soap and water—it’s a targeted treatment that kills the organisms causing the stains and growth. We let it work for the right amount of time because rushing this step means the problem comes back faster.

Finally, we rinse everything clean with low-pressure water. No aggressive pressure washing that strips granules or forces water under shingles. Just enough pressure to remove the dead growth and reveal the clean roof underneath. The whole process typically takes a few hours, and you can watch the transformation happen in real time.

What You Get With Our Service

You get a complete roof cleaning that removes moss, algae, lichen, and those black streaks that make your house look neglected. We treat the entire roof surface, not just the visible problem areas, because the stuff you can’t see yet is already growing.

We handle all types of roofing materials common in Kentucky—asphalt shingles, metal roofing, and tile. Each material gets the right treatment because what works on metal can destroy asphalt shingles.

Your gutters get cleaned out as part of the process because all that dead growth has to go somewhere. We also do a final inspection to make sure we didn’t miss anything and to point out any roof issues you should know about. You’re not just getting a cleaning—you’re getting a roof health check from people who know what to look for.

Will roof cleaning damage my shingles or void my warranty?

Proper roof cleaning won’t damage your shingles or void your warranty. We use soft-wash methods that meet manufacturer guidelines—low pressure water combined with cleaning solutions that do the heavy lifting. The key is killing the organisms causing the stains rather than trying to blast them off with high pressure. Most roofing warranties actually require regular cleaning to maintain coverage. Pressure washing, on the other hand, can strip protective granules and force water under shingles, which is why we don’t do it. Our method is specifically designed to clean effectively while preserving your roof’s integrity and warranty coverage.

How often should I have my roof professionally cleaned?

Most roofs in Kentucky need professional cleaning every 2-3 years, but it depends on your specific situation. Roofs with more shade, higher humidity exposure, or certain orientations may need cleaning more frequently. If you’re seeing black streaks, green moss, or any discoloration, it’s time for a cleaning regardless of when you last had it done. The growth you can see is just the tip of the iceberg—there’s usually more developing that you can’t see yet. Regular cleaning every few years prevents the buildup from becoming severe enough to cause permanent damage or require expensive treatments.

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

Roof cleaning uses specialized solutions and low-pressure rinsing to kill and remove organic growth without damaging your roof. Pressure washing uses high-pressure water to blast away surface dirt and stains, which can strip protective granules from shingles, force water into places it shouldn’t go, and actually damage your roof while appearing to clean it. The stains on your roof aren’t just dirt—they’re living organisms that need to be killed, not just removed. Our soft-wash process eliminates the root cause, so the cleaning lasts longer and your roof stays healthier. Pressure washing might look faster, but it’s often a temporary fix that creates long-term problems.

How much does professional roof cleaning cost in Palomar?

Roof cleaning costs depend on your roof size, the severity of growth, and accessibility factors. Most residential roof cleaning in Palomar ranges from a few hundred to over a thousand dollars, but the exact price depends on your specific situation. We provide upfront pricing after seeing your roof because factors like height, pitch, landscaping, and the extent of cleaning needed all affect the cost. What we can tell you is that professional roof cleaning costs significantly less than premature roof replacement, which is what you’re looking at if organic growth is allowed to continue damaging your shingles. We’ll give you a clear quote with no surprises.

Is roof cleaning safe for my plants and landscaping?

Yes, when done properly. We pre-wet and protect your landscaping before we start, and we use cleaning solutions that break down quickly and won’t harm established plants when properly diluted. The key is preparation and technique—we’re not just spraying chemicals everywhere and hoping for the best. We control where the cleaning solution goes, how long it stays, and how it’s rinsed away. Most plants handle the process just fine with proper protection. We’ve been doing this long enough to know which plants need extra attention and how to work around sensitive landscaping. Your yard should look the same after we’re done, just with a much cleaner roof above it.

Can I clean my roof myself to save money?

You can, but it’s not recommended for several reasons. First, roof work is dangerous—falls from roofs cause serious injuries and deaths every year. Second, using the wrong cleaning method or products can damage your roof, void warranties, or harm your landscaping. Third, effective roof cleaning requires specific equipment, solutions, and techniques that most homeowners don’t have access to. DIY roof cleaning often means either ineffective results or roof damage that costs more to fix than professional cleaning would have cost. If your roof needs cleaning, it’s usually worth having it done right the first time by people with the right equipment and experience.
