What Clean Really Looks Like

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, that algae digs deeper into your roofing materials, shortening their lifespan and costing you thousands in premature replacement.

Professional roof cleaning removes all that buildup safely. No more embarrassing stains when neighbors drive by. No more wondering if you’re looking at a $15,000 roof replacement years before you should be.

Your roof will look like it did when it was new. The algae, moss, and years of grime disappear completely. Property value goes back up. Curb appeal returns. And you get years more life out of your current roof instead of replacing it early because of neglect.

Pickway Korner Roof Cleaning Company

We Know Kentucky Roofs

We’ve been cleaning roofs in Pickway Korner and surrounding Kentucky communities for years. We understand how our humid climate creates perfect conditions for algae growth and what it takes to remove it completely.

You’re not getting a pressure washing company that occasionally cleans roofs. You’re getting specialists who focus on roof cleaning specifically. We know which cleaning methods work on different roofing materials and which ones cause expensive damage.

Every one of our technicians is trained on proper safety procedures and roof-specific techniques. We’re fully licensed and insured because this work requires real expertise – not just someone with a pressure washer and good intentions.

Our Roof Washing Process

Safe Methods That Actually Work

We start with a thorough inspection of your roof to identify problem areas and determine the best cleaning approach for your specific roofing material. Different shingles require different techniques – what works safely on architectural shingles can damage slate or tile.

The actual cleaning uses low-pressure washing combined with professional-grade cleaning solutions. No harsh pressure that strips granules or damages flashing. The cleaning solution does the heavy lifting, breaking down algae and organic growth at the root level.

We work systematically across your entire roof surface, paying extra attention to north-facing areas where algae grows thickest. After cleaning, we rinse everything thoroughly and inspect our work to ensure complete removal. The whole process typically takes a few hours, depending on your roof size and condition level.

Complete Roof Cleaning Service

Everything Your Roof Needs

Our roof cleaning service covers your entire roof system. We clean all shingle surfaces, remove debris from gutters and valleys, and treat problem areas where algae tends to return first. You get complete algae and moss removal, not just surface cleaning that looks good for a few months.

We also clean and treat your gutters as part of the service. Dirty gutters defeat the purpose of a clean roof, and algae-filled gutters will just recontaminate your freshly cleaned shingles. Everything gets addressed in one visit.

Each job includes a post-cleaning inspection where we point out any areas that need attention – loose flashing, damaged shingles, or spots where future problems might develop. You get a clean roof plus peace of mind about its overall condition.

Will pressure washing damage my roof shingles or remove granules?

High-pressure washing absolutely can damage shingles by stripping protective granules and forcing water under flashing. That’s why we use low-pressure soft washing techniques specifically designed for roofs. Our method relies on professional cleaning solutions to break down algae and organic growth, then gentle rinsing to remove the debris. The pressure we use is similar to a heavy rain – enough to rinse effectively but not enough to cause any damage to your roofing materials or void manufacturer warranties.

How often should I have my roof professionally cleaned?

Most roofs in Kentucky need professional cleaning every 2-3 years, depending on your home’s exposure to moisture and shade. Homes with significant tree coverage or north-facing roof sections may need annual cleaning because those conditions accelerate algae growth. The key is not waiting until you see heavy black streaking – by then, the algae has already been damaging your shingles for months. Regular cleaning is much more cost-effective than letting buildup reach the point where it’s shortening your roof’s lifespan.

What are those black streaks on my roof and why do they keep coming back?

Those black streaks are algae – specifically Gloeocapsa Magma, which feeds on the limestone filler in asphalt shingles. The algae literally consumes your roofing material while creating those unsightly stains. They keep returning because spores spread easily through air and water, and Kentucky’s humid climate provides perfect growing conditions. Professional cleaning removes the algae completely and treats the surface to slow regrowth, but periodic maintenance cleaning is necessary because spores will eventually resettle on any roof surface.

Is roof cleaning safe for all types of roofing materials?

Professional roof cleaning is safe when done correctly, but different materials require different approaches. Asphalt shingles, metal roofing, tile, and slate each need specific techniques and cleaning solutions. We adjust our methods based on your roofing material – what works perfectly on architectural shingles could damage clay tiles or strip protective coatings from metal roofing. That’s why experience with different roof types matters. We inspect your specific roofing material first and use only appropriate cleaning methods that won’t void warranties or cause damage.

Can I clean my roof myself to save money?

DIY roof cleaning is extremely dangerous and often ineffective. Every year, homeowners are seriously injured or killed falling from roofs during cleaning attempts. Beyond safety risks, most homeowners don’t have access to proper low-pressure equipment or professional-grade cleaning solutions. Using household bleach or high-pressure washers can damage shingles, kill landscaping, or create streaky results that look worse than before. Professional cleaning costs a fraction of roof replacement and eliminates all the safety risks while delivering results that actually last.

Will roof cleaning increase my home's value?

Yes, roof cleaning provides immediate curb appeal improvement that directly impacts property value. Real estate professionals consistently report that homes with clean, well-maintained roofs sell faster and for higher prices than comparable homes with stained or algae-covered roofs. A clean roof signals to buyers that the home has been properly maintained, while a dirty roof raises concerns about deferred maintenance and potential costly repairs. The investment in professional roof cleaning typically returns 3-5 times its cost in increased property value and faster sale times.
