What You Get With Clean Roofs

Your roof stops looking like it belongs in a horror movie. That green, black, and brown buildup disappears, and suddenly your home looks like you actually care about it again.

But here’s what really matters: clean roofs last longer. All that moss, algae, and lichen isn’t just ugly – it’s eating away at your shingles, holding moisture against your roof deck, and shortening the life of your entire roofing system.

When we’re done, you’ve got a roof that sheds water properly, looks great from the street, and isn’t slowly rotting from the inside out. Your neighbors notice. Your property value reflects it. And you’re not looking at a premature roof replacement because you let the buildup win.

Trusted Roof Cleaning Company

We Know Kentucky Roofs Inside Out

We’ve been cleaning roofs in Kentucky long enough to know what works and what destroys them. We’ve seen what happens when homeowners try the DIY pressure washing route, and we’ve fixed the damage that follows.

Our team understands Kentucky’s climate challenges. The humidity here creates perfect conditions for moss and algae growth, which means your roof needs more than a garden hose and good intentions.

We use the right equipment, the right techniques, and we’re insured for the work we do. No shortcuts, no damage, no surprises.

Our Roof Washing Process

How We Clean Without Damaging

First, we inspect your roof to identify problem areas and determine the safest cleaning approach. Different roofing materials need different techniques, and we adjust accordingly.

We start by clearing debris from gutters and downspouts, then apply our cleaning solution to break down moss, algae, and lichen. This isn’t the high-pressure blasting that strips granules off shingles – we use controlled pressure that removes buildup without damage.

The cleaning solution does most of the work, loosening years of buildup so it rinses away cleanly. We work systematically across your entire roof, paying extra attention to north-facing slopes where moss loves to grow. Finally, we rinse everything thoroughly and ensure your gutters are flowing properly.

Complete Roof Cleaning Service

What's Included In Every Job

You get complete moss, algae, and lichen removal from your entire roof surface. We clean your gutters as part of the process because there’s no point cleaning a roof just to leave debris sitting in clogged gutters.

We also handle the areas most companies skip – like around chimneys, vents, and where different roof planes meet. These spots collect the most buildup and cause the most problems if left untreated.

Every job includes a post-cleaning inspection to make sure we didn’t miss anything and that your roof is shedding water properly. We’ll also point out any potential issues we notice – loose shingles, damaged flashing, or areas that might need attention from a roofer.

How often should I have my roof professionally cleaned?

Most Kentucky roofs need cleaning every 2-3 years, but it depends on your specific conditions. Roofs with heavy tree coverage or north-facing slopes might need attention more frequently because they stay damp longer and provide ideal conditions for moss growth. If you’re seeing dark streaks, green patches, or thick moss buildup, it’s time for cleaning regardless of when you last had it done. Waiting too long means the buildup gets harder to remove and causes more damage to your shingles.

Will pressure washing damage my roof shingles?

High-pressure washing absolutely can damage shingles by stripping away protective granules and forcing water under the shingles where it doesn’t belong. That’s why we use controlled pressure combined with specialized cleaning solutions that do the heavy lifting. The solution breaks down moss and algae so it comes off easily without aggressive pressure. We adjust our technique based on your roofing material – what works for metal roofing would destroy asphalt shingles. The key is knowing the difference and having the right equipment for each situation.

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

The terms are often used interchangeably, but there’s a subtle difference in approach. Roof cleaning typically involves more aggressive removal of heavy buildup like thick moss or stubborn lichen, while roof washing focuses on algae and lighter surface contamination. We assess your roof’s condition and use the appropriate method – sometimes that means more intensive cleaning for problem areas, sometimes a gentler wash is sufficient. The goal is always the same: remove damaging buildup without harming your roofing materials.

How much does professional roof cleaning cost in Quail Run?

Roof cleaning costs depend on your roof size, pitch, and how much buildup we’re dealing with. A typical single-story home runs differently than a steep two-story with heavy moss coverage. We provide free estimates because every roof is different, and we’d rather give you an accurate price after seeing what we’re working with than throw out a number that might be completely wrong for your situation. Most homeowners find the cost is a fraction of what they’d pay for premature roof replacement due to neglect.

Is roof cleaning safe for my landscaping and gutters?

We take precautions to protect your landscaping by pre-wetting plants and covering sensitive areas when necessary. Our cleaning solutions are designed to break down organic matter on your roof, but we don’t want them concentrating around your plants. We also ensure gutters and downspouts are clear and flowing properly – there’s no point cleaning a roof if the water can’t get off it properly. Part of our process includes checking that water flows correctly through your entire drainage system after cleaning.

Can I clean my own roof to save money?

You can try, but most homeowners who attempt DIY roof cleaning either don’t get the results they want or cause damage that costs more than professional cleaning would have. The safety risk alone isn’t worth it – roofs are slippery even when dry, and adding water and cleaning solutions makes them treacherous. Beyond safety, most homeowners don’t have the right equipment or solutions to effectively remove buildup without damaging shingles. We’ve repaired plenty of DIY roof cleaning disasters, and they’re always more expensive than just hiring professionals from the start.
