Low pressure soft wash that lifts black streaks, algae, moss and lichen off shingles without blasting the roof.
Elizabethtown, KY
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.
Elizabethtown is the seat of Hardin County and the nearest city of any size to Fort Knox, which is why it fills and refills with military families on a posting cycle. That means a steady churn of move in and move out dates on rental and resale homes, plus the older brick downtown that cannot take pressure.
The climate here is humid subtropical, which is the plain reason algae and mildew do so well. Warm, wet summers give growth a long season, and mild winters never really kill it off, so a house that was washed two summers ago is usually due again.
The job
Not included: pressure washing a roof, roof repair, replacement or sealing.
Timing matters more here than anywhere else we work. Around Fort Knox a wash is often tied to a move in or move out date or a listing photo date, so tell us the deadline when you book.
Free Estimate

Most homes look right on a yearly wash. The climate is humid subtropical, so growth gets a long warm season and the winters are too mild to reset it.
Not the way we do it. Roofs and siding get a soft wash: low pressure plus a cleaning solution that kills algae and mildew at the root, instead of high pressure that strips shingle granules and forces water behind siding. High pressure is for flatwork like driveways and sidewalks, not for the parts of your house that were never built to take it.
Never on the roof. High pressure strips the protective granules off asphalt shingles, and they do not grow back. Consumer Reports publishes 1,500 to 3,000 PSI as the range for concrete, and a shingle is nothing like concrete. The same goes for painted wood, old mortar and stucco, which lift or erode under force. Those surfaces get a soft wash instead: low pressure plus a cleaning solution.
