Your Roof Problems Actually Solved

You’re tired of looking at those black streaks and green patches covering your roof. Every time you pull into your driveway, you notice how bad it’s gotten. Your neighbors probably notice too.

Here’s what changes when your roof gets properly cleaned. Those embarrassing algae stains disappear completely. The moss that’s been eating away at your shingles gets removed safely. Your home looks like it belongs in the neighborhood again.

More importantly, you stop worrying about what that buildup is doing to your roof underneath. Algae and moss don’t just look bad – they hold moisture against your shingles and gradually break down the materials you paid good money for. Clean that off, and your roof can do its job protecting your home for years longer than if you’d left it alone.

Simers Roof Cleaning Company

We Know Kentucky Roofs

We’ve been cleaning roofs in Simers and throughout Kentucky long enough to understand what works here and what doesn’t. Kentucky’s humid climate creates perfect conditions for algae and moss growth. Most homeowners try DIY solutions first, then call us when those don’t work or when they realize how dangerous it is to be on a roof with a pressure washer.

We’ve seen what happens when roof cleaning goes wrong. Damaged shingles, voided warranties, and homeowners who end up paying for repairs that cost more than professional cleaning would have in the first place. That’s why we use low-pressure methods that actually clean without causing damage.

Our Roof Washing Process

How We Clean Your Roof Safely

First, we inspect your roof to identify problem areas and check for any existing damage. We’re not just looking at the obvious black streaks – we’re checking for moss growth, loose or damaged shingles, and areas where water might be pooling.

Next comes the actual cleaning using our low-pressure washing system. We apply specialized cleaning solutions that break down algae and moss without the high pressure that can damage shingles or force water under them. The solution does the work, not brute force.

We finish by rinsing everything thoroughly and cleaning up any debris. Your gutters get cleared of the moss and algae that washed down, and we make sure your landscaping stays protected throughout the process. The whole job typically takes a few hours, and you’ll see the difference immediately.

Complete Roof Cleaning Service

What's Included In Your Service

Your roof cleaning includes complete removal of algae, moss, lichen, and debris from all roof surfaces. We clean your gutters as part of the process since they’ll be full of the organic matter we’ve removed from your roof. Downspouts get flushed to make sure water flows properly.

We also clean any roof-mounted equipment like satellite dishes or vents that have collected the same organic growth as your shingles. Many Simers homeowners are surprised how much better their whole house looks when these details get attention too.

The service includes protection for your landscaping and cleanup of any debris. We’re not just cleaning your roof – we’re making sure the process doesn’t create problems elsewhere on your property. You get a roof that looks great and functions properly, without worrying about damage to plants or cleanup afterward.

Will pressure washing damage my roof shingles or void my warranty?

High-pressure washing can absolutely damage shingles and void warranties, which is why we don’t use it. Our low-pressure system applies cleaning solutions that break down algae and moss, then rinses everything away gently. This method is safe for all roofing materials and won’t void manufacturer warranties. Most shingle warranties specifically prohibit high-pressure washing, but they don’t restrict proper low-pressure cleaning. We’ve been using this method for years without causing damage to roofs in Simers and throughout Kentucky.

How long will my roof stay clean after professional cleaning?

Most roofs stay clean for 2-4 years after professional cleaning, depending on your home’s exposure to moisture and shade. Roofs with more tree coverage or that face north tend to develop algae growth faster than those in full sun. Kentucky’s humid climate means algae will eventually return, but proper cleaning removes the root systems that have established themselves in your shingles. This means regrowth happens much more slowly than if you’d just sprayed the surface with a garden hose. Regular cleaning every few years keeps the problem manageable and prevents the deep staining that becomes harder to remove over time.

What's the difference between DIY roof cleaning and professional service?

DIY roof cleaning usually involves either dangerous pressure washing or ineffective solutions that only clean the surface. Most homeowners don’t have the right equipment or cleaning solutions to kill algae and moss at the root level. They also don’t have experience working safely on roofs or protecting landscaping from cleaning chemicals. Professional roof cleaning uses commercial-grade solutions that actually eliminate the organisms causing stains, not just temporarily remove the visible growth. We also have the insurance and safety equipment to work on roofs without putting anyone at risk. The results last longer and don’t risk damage to your roof or property.

How much does professional roof cleaning cost compared to roof replacement?

Professional roof cleaning costs a fraction of what you’d pay for roof replacement – typically hundreds of dollars versus tens of thousands. Regular cleaning can extend your roof’s life by years, sometimes decades, by removing the organic growth that breaks down shingles over time. Algae and moss hold moisture against your roof materials and gradually cause deterioration that leads to leaks and structural damage. Many Simers homeowners are surprised to learn that what they thought was an aging roof just needed proper cleaning. Even if your roof does eventually need replacement, keeping it clean until then prevents water damage to your home’s interior and structure.

Is roof cleaning safe for my landscaping and outdoor surfaces?

Professional roof cleaning is safe for landscaping when done correctly, which means protecting plants before we start and rinsing everything thoroughly afterward. We cover sensitive plants and water them before and after cleaning to dilute any cleaning solution that might reach them. The solutions we use break down quickly and don’t persist in soil or water. We also clean any overspray from walkways, driveways, and outdoor furniture immediately. DIY roof cleaning often causes landscaping damage because homeowners don’t know how to protect plants or what cleaning solutions are safe to use around them. Professional service includes all the protection and cleanup needed to keep your property looking great.

When is the best time of year to clean my roof?

Spring and fall are ideal times for roof cleaning in Kentucky because temperatures are moderate and there’s less chance of extreme weather interfering with the process. Spring cleaning removes the growth that accumulated over winter and prepares your roof for summer heat. Fall cleaning gets rid of organic matter before winter moisture helps it spread. We can clean roofs year-round except during freezing weather or storms, but spring and fall scheduling often works better for homeowners who want to tackle outdoor maintenance projects when the weather’s comfortable. The key is not waiting until the growth gets so established that it becomes harder to remove completely.
