Your Roof Problems Actually Solved

You’ll see those black streaks and green moss patches disappear completely. More importantly, you’ll stop worrying about whether that discoloration is slowly destroying your roof.

The algae and moss that create those unsightly stains aren’t just cosmetic problems. They’re actually feeding on your shingles, breaking down the protective granules that keep your roof waterproof. When we remove them properly, your roof can do its job again.

Your home looks sharp from the street. Your roof stays stronger for years longer. And you avoid the nightmare of premature roof replacement because you caught the problem while it was still fixable.

Richmond Sq Roof Cleaning Company

We Know Kentucky Roofs Inside Out

We’ve been cleaning roofs in Richmond Sq and surrounding Kentucky communities for years. We understand exactly what this climate does to your roof and how to fix it safely.

You won’t find us using high-pressure washing that strips granules off your shingles. We use soft-wash techniques that kill algae and moss at the root level without causing damage.

We’re fully insured and use only manufacturer-approved cleaning methods. That means your warranty stays intact and your roof gets properly protected.

Our Roof Washing Process

How We Clean Without Damaging

First, we inspect your roof to identify problem areas and check for any existing damage. We protect your landscaping and gutters before we start any cleaning work.

We apply our eco-friendly cleaning solution using low-pressure equipment. This solution kills algae, moss, and mildew without the aggressive pressure that damages shingles. The cleaning agents do the work, not brute force.

After the solution has time to work, we rinse everything clean with controlled water pressure. You’ll see the difference immediately, but the treatment keeps working for months to prevent regrowth. We clean up completely and walk you through what we’ve accomplished.

What You Get With Every Cleaning

Every roof cleaning includes a thorough inspection, safe algae and moss removal, and gutter cleaning where needed. We handle the entire exterior cleaning process so you don’t have to worry about multiple contractors.

Richmond Sq homes face unique challenges with our humid climate and frequent rain. We’ve seen how quickly algae can take hold here, especially on north-facing roof sections that stay damp longer. That’s why our treatments are specifically designed for Kentucky weather patterns.

You get transparent pricing upfront, full insurance coverage, and cleaning methods that won’t void your roof warranty. We’re not the cheapest option, but we’re the one that actually solves your roof problems without creating new ones.

How often should I have my roof cleaned in Richmond Sq?

Most Richmond Sq homes need roof cleaning every 2-3 years, but it depends on your specific situation. Homes with more shade, north-facing sections, or overhanging trees typically need cleaning more frequently because these areas stay damp longer. If you’re seeing black streaks or green patches, it’s time for cleaning regardless of when you last had it done. Waiting too long means the algae and moss have more time to damage your shingles, which makes the problem more expensive to fix later.

Will pressure washing damage my shingles or void my warranty?

High-pressure washing absolutely can damage your shingles and void your warranty. That’s why we use soft-wash techniques instead. Our low-pressure method relies on specialized cleaning solutions to kill algae and moss, not aggressive water pressure. This approach is specifically recommended by major shingle manufacturers and keeps your warranty intact. The cleaning agents do the heavy lifting while gentle rinsing removes the dead organisms and stains. You get better results without the risk of granule loss or shingle damage.

How much does professional roof cleaning cost in Richmond Sq?

Roof cleaning costs vary based on your home’s size, roof pitch, and the extent of algae or moss growth. Most single-story homes in Richmond Sq range from $300-600, while two-story homes typically cost $500-900. Steep roofs or heavily stained areas may cost more due to the additional time and safety equipment required. We provide upfront pricing after a quick inspection so you know exactly what you’re paying before we start. The investment typically pays for itself by extending your roof’s life and maintaining your property value.

What's the difference between algae and moss on my roof?

Algae appears as dark black or brown streaks running down your roof, while moss looks like green patches that are actually raised above the shingle surface. Both are harmful, but in different ways. Algae feeds on the limestone in your shingles and creates those ugly stains, while moss holds moisture against your roof and can actually lift shingles as it grows. Kentucky’s humid climate creates perfect conditions for both. Our cleaning process addresses each problem specifically – killing algae at the root level and removing moss completely so it can’t continue damaging your shingles.

Is roof cleaning safe for my plants and landscaping?

Yes, when done properly. We pre-wet all plants and landscaping before starting and use eco-friendly cleaning solutions that break down safely. Our process includes covering sensitive plants and rinsing everything thoroughly afterward. The cleaning agents we use are designed to be tough on algae and moss but safe for the environment when properly diluted. We’ve been cleaning roofs in Richmond Sq for years without landscape damage because we take the right precautions from the start. Your plants and lawn will be fine, and your roof will look great.

Can I clean my own roof to save money?

Roof cleaning involves significant safety risks and potential for expensive damage if done incorrectly. Most homeowners don’t have the proper equipment, cleaning solutions, or experience to do it safely. Using the wrong pressure settings or cleaning products can strip granules, void warranties, or cause leaks. Plus, walking on a roof covered in algae or moss is extremely dangerous. The cost of professional cleaning is typically much less than emergency room visits or roof repairs from DIY accidents. We have the insurance, equipment, and expertise to do it right the first time.
