Anchorage, KY

What Anchorage does to a roof

Those dark streaks running down your roof are algae, and they feed on the limestone filler in asphalt shingles. We soft wash instead of pressure washing: low pressure plus a cleaning solution that kills the algae, moss and lichen at the root rather than stripping the protective granules off your shingles. Nothing gets blasted.

Why Anchorage is different

Anchorage is the hardest place in the county to keep a roof clean, and the reason is the thing everyone moves here for. The city sits in wooded hills and valleys along branches of Beargrass and Goose Creeks, under a canopy of oaks and magnolias, across roughly 850 homes. The Anchorage Historic District has been on the National Register since 1982, so a lot of that housing is old, and the curving roads laid out in the 1914 Olmsted Brothers plan keep houses tucked into shade rather than lined up for the sun.

What drives it in Anchorage

Constant shade plus creek humidity is the worst combination there is for algae and moss. Roofs under an oak canopy stay damp for hours after the rest of the county has dried, and leaf litter holds that moisture against the shingle. It is also why moss, not just algae, shows up on Anchorage roofs more often than on open lots a few miles away.

How we work in Anchorage

Historic properties set the method here. Nothing gets high pressure, foot traffic stays to a minimum, and anything original stays original: soft wash only on roofs and siding, with the growth killed at the root so it does not come straight back under the same canopy.

Questions we get in Anchorage

Why does moss grow on Anchorage roofs and not on my friend's roof a few miles away?

Tree cover. Anchorage sits in wooded hills and valleys along the Beargrass and Goose Creek branches, under an oak and magnolia canopy, so roofs stay damp for hours longer than roofs on open lots. Algae will grow almost anywhere in this climate, but moss needs that sustained damp.

Is soft washing safe on a home in the Anchorage Historic District?

It is the only method we will use on one. Low pressure and a cleaning solution lift algae and moss without stripping granules or forcing water into old mortar and original trim.
