Professional Roof Washing Westmoreland

What Clean Roofs Actually Do

You know that feeling when you pull into your driveway and actually feel proud of how your house looks? That’s what happens when those black streaks and green patches disappear from your roof.

A clean roof does more than look good. It protects your biggest investment by removing the algae, moss, and mildew that actually eat away at your shingles. Kentucky’s humid climate feeds these organisms, and they’re slowly shortening your roof’s lifespan every day they stay up there.

When we remove them properly, your roof can last years longer than it would otherwise. You avoid the headache and expense of premature roof replacement. Your home value stays strong, your neighbors stop giving you looks, and you get back that sense of pride in your property that you used to have.

Roof Washing Process Westmoreland

How We Clean Your Roof

First, we inspect your roof to identify problem areas and check for any existing damage. We protect your landscaping, outdoor furniture, and anything else that might be affected by our cleaning process.

Then we apply our specialized cleaning solution that targets the algae, moss, and mildew without using high pressure that can damage shingles. This solution does the heavy lifting – breaking down the organisms that have been growing on your roof.

We rinse everything thoroughly with low-pressure water, ensuring all the dead growth and cleaning solution are completely removed. The whole process typically takes a few hours, and you’ll see immediate results. Your roof will continue to look better over the following weeks as any remaining residue washes away naturally.

Will pressure washing damage my roof shingles?

High-pressure washing can absolutely damage shingles, which is why we don’t use it. We use a low-pressure soft washing method that relies on specialized cleaning solutions rather than force. Our approach removes the algae, moss, and stains without stripping granules from your shingles or forcing water under them. The cleaning solution does the work, not high pressure. This method is recommended by most shingle manufacturers and is much safer for your roof’s long-term health.

How often should I have my roof cleaned?

Most roofs in Kentucky benefit from professional cleaning every 2-3 years, but it depends on your specific situation. Roofs with more shade, higher humidity exposure, or certain orientations may need cleaning more frequently. If you’re seeing black streaks, green patches, or moss growth, it’s time for cleaning regardless of when you last had it done. Regular cleaning actually extends the time between cleanings because it prevents heavy buildup. We can assess your roof and give you a realistic timeline based on its condition and exposure.

What are those black streaks on my roof?

Those black streaks are algae, specifically a type called Gloeocapsa magma. This algae feeds on the limestone filler in your shingles and thrives in Kentucky’s humid climate. It’s not just cosmetic – it’s actually consuming part of your roofing material and can significantly shorten your roof’s lifespan. The streaks usually start small and spread over time, getting darker and more extensive. They won’t go away on their own and will only get worse. Professional cleaning removes the algae completely and treats the roof to slow future growth.

Can I clean my roof myself?

While it’s technically possible, we don’t recommend it for several reasons. First, roof work is dangerous – falls from roofs cause serious injuries every year. Second, using the wrong cleaning method or pressure can damage your shingles and void your warranty. Third, the specialized equipment and cleaning solutions we use aren’t readily available to homeowners. Store-bought pressure washers typically use too much pressure, and household cleaners aren’t effective against roof algae. Professional cleaning costs less than you might think and eliminates the safety risks and potential for costly mistakes.

Will cleaning my roof help it last longer?

Yes, absolutely. Algae, moss, and mildew don’t just stain your roof – they actively deteriorate the roofing materials. Algae feeds on the limestone in shingles, moss holds moisture against the roof surface, and mildew can work its way under shingles. All of these organisms can significantly shorten your roof’s lifespan. Regular professional cleaning removes these threats and can add years to your roof’s life. When you consider that roof replacement costs tens of thousands of dollars, regular cleaning is one of the best investments you can make in your home’s maintenance.

How long does roof cleaning take and what should I expect?

Most residential roof cleaning jobs take 3-5 hours, depending on the size of your roof and the extent of growth we’re removing. We’ll protect your landscaping and outdoor furniture before we start, so you don’t need to move anything. You’ll see immediate improvement, but your roof will continue to look better over the next few weeks as any remaining residue washes away with rain. We clean up completely when we’re done, and you can use your driveway and walkways normally right after we finish. The whole process is much less disruptive than most homeowners expect.
