What Clean Really Looks Like

You know those black streaks running down your roof? That’s not just dirt – it’s algae that’s literally eating your shingles. Every month you wait, it’s costing you money in shortened roof life and dropping curb appeal.

When we’re done, your roof looks years newer. The stains are gone, the moss is history, and your neighbors will notice. More importantly, you’ve just added years to your roof’s lifespan and thousands to your home’s value.

But here’s what really matters: you did it safely. No ladders, no pressure washers that strip granules, no guessing about chemicals. Just professional results that protect your investment instead of damaging it.

Rockwood Roof Cleaning Company

We Know Kentucky Roofs

We’ve been cleaning roofs in Rockwood and across Kentucky long enough to know what works – and what doesn’t. Kentucky’s humidity creates perfect conditions for moss and algae growth, which means your roof needs more than a basic rinse.

Our team understands local weather patterns, the types of growth that thrive here, and exactly how to remove them without damaging your shingles. We’re licensed, insured, and equipped with the right tools for safe, effective cleaning.

You’re not getting a fly-by-night operation or someone learning on your roof. You’re getting professionals who’ve solved this exact problem hundreds of times in your area.

Roof Cleaning Process

Simple Process, Professional Results

First, we inspect your roof to identify problem areas and check for any existing damage. We’re not just looking at stains – we’re assessing moss buildup, clogged gutters, and areas where water might be pooling.

Next comes the actual cleaning using our soft wash system. This isn’t pressure washing that can damage shingles. We apply eco-friendly solutions that kill algae and moss at the root, then rinse everything clean with controlled water pressure that won’t harm your roof or landscaping.

Finally, we do a complete walkthrough with you to show the results and point out any areas that might need attention in the future. You’ll see exactly what we accomplished and understand how to maintain your roof between professional cleanings.

Complete Roof Washing Service

More Than Just Basic Cleaning

Your roof cleaning includes complete removal of algae, moss, lichen, and organic stains using safe, effective methods. We clean your gutters at the same time because clogged gutters often contribute to roof problems.

We also treat the areas around your roofline – fascia, soffits, and any exterior surfaces where runoff has caused staining. Kentucky homes deal with specific challenges like heavy moss growth in shaded areas and algae streaking from our humid summers.

Every job includes a safety inspection where we’ll point out loose shingles, damaged flashing, or other issues we spot during cleaning. We’re not roofers, but we know what to look for and we’ll give you a heads up about anything that needs professional attention.

How often should I have my roof professionally cleaned?

Most Kentucky homes need professional roof cleaning every 2-3 years, but it depends on your specific situation. Homes with lots of shade, nearby trees, or north-facing sections often need cleaning more frequently because moss and algae thrive in those conditions. If you’re seeing black streaks or green growth, don’t wait – that stuff is actively damaging your shingles. The sooner you address it, the easier and less expensive the cleaning process becomes.

Will pressure washing damage my roof shingles?

Yes, traditional pressure washing can absolutely damage your roof by stripping away protective granules and forcing water under shingles. That’s why we use a soft wash system that relies on specialized cleaning solutions rather than high pressure. Our method kills algae and moss at the source, then rinses everything away with gentle water pressure that won’t harm your shingles or void your roof warranty. The results last longer too, because we’re actually eliminating the growth instead of just blasting it off the surface.

What are those black streaks on my roof?

Those black streaks are algae – specifically a type called Gloeocapsa Magma that feeds on the limestone in your shingles. It’s not just cosmetic; this algae is literally eating your roof and shortening its lifespan. The streaks usually start small and spread over time, especially during Kentucky’s humid summers. Once algae gets established, it retains moisture against your shingles, which can lead to more serious problems like rot and premature aging. Professional cleaning removes both the visible stains and the root system.

Is roof cleaning safe for my landscaping and plants?

When done properly, yes. We pre-wet all your plants and landscaping before we start, use eco-friendly cleaning solutions that break down safely, and rinse everything thoroughly during and after the cleaning process. The products we use are designed specifically for roof cleaning – they’re tough on algae and moss but safe for the environment when applied correctly. We’ve never had issues with damaged landscaping because we take the right precautions from the start.

How much does professional roof cleaning cost?

The cost depends on your roof size, the amount of growth we’re dealing with, and accessibility factors like roof height and landscaping. Most residential roof cleanings in the Rockwood area range from a few hundred to around a thousand dollars. That might seem like a lot until you consider that proper cleaning can extend your roof’s life by years and a new roof costs $15,000-30,000. We provide free estimates so you know exactly what you’re looking at before we start any work.

Can I clean my roof myself?

Technically yes, but it’s not something we’d recommend. Roof cleaning involves working at height with specialized equipment and chemicals, plus there’s real skill in knowing how much pressure to use and which products work on different types of growth. Most DIY attempts either don’t solve the problem completely or end up damaging the roof. Insurance claims from roof cleaning accidents are more common than you’d think. For most homeowners, the safety risks and potential for costly mistakes make professional cleaning the smarter choice.
