We’ve been cleaning roofs in Western Suburb and throughout Kentucky for years. We understand how this climate affects your roof – the humidity that feeds algae growth, the tree coverage that keeps moisture trapped, and the seasonal changes that make maintenance challenging.

We’re fully insured and use only manufacturer-approved cleaning methods. No shortcuts, no guesswork, no damage to your property. Our team lives and works in this community, so our reputation depends on doing the job right every time.

You’ll work with professionals who show up when scheduled, explain exactly what we’re doing, and leave your property cleaner than we found it.

Our Roof Washing Process

Straightforward Process, Professional Results

First, we inspect your roof and identify problem areas – algae streaks, moss buildup, debris accumulation, and any areas needing special attention. We protect your landscaping and outdoor furniture before starting any work.

Next comes the actual cleaning using our low-pressure roof washing system. We apply specialized cleaning solutions that kill algae and moss at the root, then rinse everything away with controlled water pressure that won’t damage your shingles. This isn’t power washing – it’s a gentler process designed specifically for roofing materials.

Finally, we do a complete cleanup and final inspection. Your gutters get cleared of any debris that came off the roof, your landscaping gets uncovered, and we walk the property to make sure everything looks perfect. You get a roof that looks years younger and will stay cleaner longer.

Everything Your Roof Needs

Western Suburb homes face unique challenges with tree coverage and humidity levels. We adjust our approach based on your roof’s specific condition, the type of shingles you have, and how long it’s been since the last professional cleaning. You get a customized service that addresses your roof’s actual needs.

How often should I have my roof professionally cleaned?

Most Western Suburb homes need roof cleaning every 2-3 years, but it depends on your specific situation. Homes with heavy tree coverage or north-facing slopes may need annual cleaning because they stay damp longer and collect more organic debris. If you’re seeing black streaks or green moss patches, it’s definitely time for professional cleaning. Waiting too long means the algae and moss get deeper into your shingles, making them harder to remove and more likely to cause permanent damage. Regular cleaning is much cheaper than early roof replacement.

Will pressure washing damage my roof shingles?

High-pressure washing absolutely can damage shingles, which is why we don’t use it. Traditional pressure washing can strip granules off asphalt shingles, force water under shingles, and create leaks. Our roof washing process uses low pressure combined with specialized cleaning solutions that do the heavy lifting. The chemicals kill algae and moss, then we rinse with just enough pressure to remove the dead growth without harming your shingles. This method is recommended by major shingle manufacturers and extends roof life instead of shortening it.

What's that black stuff growing 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 actually eats away at your roofing material over time. The green patches are usually moss, which holds moisture against your shingles and can lift or crack them as it grows. Both problems are common in Kentucky’s humid climate and get worse every year if left untreated. Professional cleaning removes both the visible growth and the root systems, giving you a much longer-lasting result than just surface cleaning.

How much does professional roof cleaning cost?

Roof cleaning costs vary based on your roof size, how steep it is, and how much buildup needs removing. Most Western Suburb homes fall between $300-800 for complete roof cleaning. That might seem like a lot until you compare it to roof replacement, which typically costs $15,000-30,000. Professional cleaning can extend your roof’s life by 5-10 years, making it one of the best investments you can make in your home. We provide free estimates so you know exactly what to expect before we start any work.

Is roof cleaning safe for my landscaping?

We take extensive precautions to protect your landscaping during roof cleaning. Before starting, we cover or wet down all plants, flowers, and grass around your home’s perimeter. Our cleaning solutions are biodegradable, but we still don’t want concentrated runoff hitting your plants directly. We also redirect downspouts temporarily and rinse any areas that might have gotten overspray. After cleaning, we do a final rinse of your landscaping to dilute any residual cleaning product. In our years of cleaning roofs in Western Suburb, we’ve never had landscaping damage when proper precautions are followed.

Can I clean my roof myself?

Technically yes, but it’s not recommended for several reasons. First, roof work is dangerous – falls cause thousands of injuries every year. Second, using the wrong cleaning products or pressure settings can damage your shingles and void your warranty. Store-bought cleaners rarely have the strength to kill algae and moss completely, so the problems come back quickly. Professional roof cleaning companies have specialized equipment, proper insurance, and experience dealing with different roofing materials safely. The cost difference between DIY supplies and professional service is smaller than most people think, especially when you factor in the time, safety risks, and likelihood of having to redo the work.
