Roof Cleaning in Central Kentucky
Soft wash roof cleaning that removes black algae streaks and moss without pressure. Safe for all shingle types.
- Manufacturer-recommended method. Won't void your shingle warranty.
- Zero pressure on shingles. Solution applied from the ground, no boots on your roof.
- Same-week scheduling. The price we quote is the price you pay.
Pressure on shingles is how roofs get destroyed. We don't do that.
Soft washing is a chemistry job, not a force job. A professional cleaning solution kills the Gloeocapsa magma at the root. We apply it from the ground and rinse at low pressure. No ladders on shingles, no boots on your flashing, no risk to the granules that protect your roof.
Pre-soak landscaping and gutters
Every plant, bed, and gutter run gets wet down before any solution touches the roof. Same again after we finish so nothing sits on your beds.
Apply cleaning solution from the ground
We spray the entire roof surface with a soft wash solution that kills the bacteria at the root. Even coverage across all slopes, valleys, and around vents.
Dwell 15 to 20 minutes
The solution does the work. It breaks the bacteria's bond to the shingle so it rinses off clean instead of leaving streaks behind.
Low-pressure rinse
We rinse the roof and clear the surrounding landscaping. The roof looks dramatically better right away. Any remaining staining fades over the next few weeks as rain washes the dead bacteria off.
No surprises. The quote is the price.

She thought she needed a new roof.
A customer over off Tates Creek called me a few summers back, real worried. Black streaks running down both sides of her roof, big patches of moss on the north slope. Her brother in law told her she probably needed a whole new roof, said the streaks meant the shingles were going. She got two roofing quotes. Both around twelve grand. Then a neighbor told her about us.
I drove out, looked at the roof, told her what she had was Gloeocapsa magma. The same black algae you see all over central Kentucky. It feeds on the limestone filler in modern asphalt shingles. It is not damage. It is a living thing. We can wash it off.
We soft washed her whole roof in about three hours. No pressure, just the right cleaning solution and a slow rinse. She called me three days later when the streaks were gone for good and told me she had cancelled both roofing quotes. That kind of work saves people real money.
Why we never put a pressure washer on your roof.
This is the part that surprises people. We do not pressure wash roofs. Anyone who does will damage your shingles. The granules that protect the asphalt come off under pressure and shorten the roof life by years.
The right method is soft washing. Low pressure, less than 100 PSI, with a cleaning solution that breaks the bond between the algae and the shingle. The chemistry does the work. We rinse with high volume water flow so the solution and the dead algae wash off together without any scrubbing.
GAF, Owens Corning, and CertainTeed all recommend soft washing as the only safe method for asphalt shingle roofs. Pressure washing voids most shingle warranties. We use the manufacturer approved method, every time. That is how a roof lasts another fifteen years instead of getting blown apart by someone with a power washer.

Drag the handle to see the difference. Real homes we've washed in Central Kentucky — no stock photos.
Both Sales and the applicators were very knowledgeable and very polite. Both took the time to explain items of concern. Would definitely recommend Prowash to all my friends
