What Clean Actually Looks Like

Your roof stops being an eyesore. Those black streaks and green patches disappear, and suddenly your home looks like you actually care about it again.

But here’s what really matters. Clean roofs last longer. The algae and moss that make your roof look terrible are actually eating away at your shingles. Every month you wait, they’re shortening your roof’s life and setting you up for an expensive replacement years before you should need one.

When we’re done, you get a roof that looks new again and actually performs better. Better drainage, better energy efficiency, and better protection for everything underneath. Your neighbors notice the difference immediately, but you’ll appreciate the real value for years to come.

Walnut Hill Club Roof Cleaners

We Know Kentucky Roofs

We’ve been cleaning roofs in Kentucky long enough to understand what works and what doesn’t. We’ve seen what happens when homeowners try pressure washing their own roofs, and we’ve fixed the damage that comes from using the wrong chemicals or techniques.

Kentucky’s humid climate is perfect for algae and moss growth. Most cleaning companies treat every surface the same way, but roofs need specialized knowledge and equipment. We use soft washing techniques that kill the organisms causing the stains without blasting away your shingle granules or voiding your warranty.

Roof Washing Process

How We Actually Clean Your Roof

First, we inspect your roof and surrounding areas to identify problem spots and protect your landscaping. We’re looking for damaged shingles, clogged gutters, and areas where algae or moss have taken hold.

Next comes the actual cleaning using our soft wash system. We apply specialized cleaning solutions that kill algae, moss, and lichen at the root level. No high pressure that damages shingles – just the right chemicals applied at the right concentration to do the job safely.

The final step is a thorough rinse and cleanup. We make sure all cleaning solution is properly diluted and rinsed away, your gutters are clear, and your property is cleaner than when we arrived. Most stains disappear immediately, while stubborn organic growth continues dying off over the following weeks.

What's Included in Every Job

Every roof cleaning includes a full inspection, treatment of all affected areas, and protection for your landscaping and outdoor furniture. We’re not just spraying and leaving – we’re solving the problem that caused the stains in the first place.

You get algae and moss removal, black streak elimination, and treatment of any lichen or other organic growth. We also clean your gutters of debris that accumulated during the process and check for any drainage issues that might cause future problems.

Here in Walnut Hill Club, we see a lot of north-facing roof sections that stay damp longer and develop more severe algae problems. We adjust our treatment approach based on your roof’s specific conditions and the severity of growth we’re dealing with. One-size-fits-all doesn’t work when you’re trying to actually solve the problem instead of just making it look better temporarily.

How often should I have my roof professionally cleaned?

Most roofs in Kentucky benefit from professional cleaning every 2-3 years, but it depends on your specific conditions. Roofs with more shade, north-facing sections, or areas with poor drainage may need attention more frequently. The key is catching algae and moss growth before it becomes severe. Once you see black streaks or green patches, the organisms have already been feeding on your shingles for months. Regular maintenance cleaning is much more cost-effective than waiting until the growth is severe, and it extends your roof’s lifespan significantly.

Is roof cleaning safe for my shingles and warranty?

Professional soft washing is completely safe for all types of shingles and won’t void your warranty. In fact, many roofing manufacturers specifically recommend regular cleaning to maintain warranty coverage. The danger comes from high-pressure washing, which can blast away protective granules and damage shingles. We use low-pressure application of specialized cleaning solutions that kill organic growth without mechanical damage. This method is endorsed by the Asphalt Roofing Manufacturers Association and is the only cleaning method many shingle manufacturers approve for warranty maintenance.

Will the black streaks and stains come back quickly?

Proper roof cleaning should keep your roof looking clean for 2-4 years, depending on environmental conditions. The black streaks are caused by algae that feed on limestone filler in shingles. When we kill the algae properly with the right cleaning solutions, it takes time for new colonies to establish and become visible again. Roofs that are cleaned with just pressure washing or improper chemicals often see stains return within months because the root cause wasn’t addressed. Our soft wash process kills the organisms completely, giving you much longer-lasting results.

How much does professional roof cleaning cost compared to replacement?

Professional roof cleaning typically costs a fraction of what you’d pay for roof replacement – usually between $300-800 depending on roof size and condition, compared to $15,000-30,000 for a full roof replacement. More importantly, regular cleaning can extend your roof’s life by 5-10 years by preventing premature deterioration from algae and moss damage. When you factor in the extended lifespan and improved energy efficiency from a clean roof, professional cleaning pays for itself many times over. It’s preventive maintenance that protects your largest home investment.

What's the difference between pressure washing and soft washing for roofs?

Pressure washing uses high-pressure water to blast away stains, which can damage shingles, remove protective granules, and actually void your roof warranty. Soft washing uses low-pressure application of specialized cleaning chemicals that kill algae, moss, and lichen at the source. The pressure is similar to a garden hose – just enough to apply the solution evenly. Soft washing provides longer-lasting results because it eliminates the organisms causing the stains rather than just removing the visible growth. It’s the only method recommended by shingle manufacturers and roofing professionals.

Will roof cleaning damage my landscaping or outdoor furniture?

We take extensive precautions to protect your landscaping and outdoor furniture. We pre-wet all plants and cover sensitive vegetation before starting the cleaning process. Our cleaning solutions are diluted to safe levels by the time they reach the ground, and we rinse everything thoroughly during and after the process. We also move or cover outdoor furniture, grills, and other items that could be affected. Most plants actually benefit from the diluted rinse water, which contains nutrients. We’ve been doing this long enough to know how to protect your property while getting your roof completely clean.
