Frankfort, KY
Low pressure soft wash that lifts black streaks, algae, moss and lichen off shingles without blasting the roof.
Frankfort, 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.
Frankfort is built around the Kentucky River, and the historic core sits on both banks. The Frankfort Commercial Historic District covers 24 acres of buildings on both sides of the river, the Central Frankfort Historic District adds 401 listed resources across 126 acres, and the Old Statehouse district holds another 74 historic buildings. That is an unusual amount of old masonry sitting in a river valley, and river valleys hold damp.
The river is the whole story. Frankfort sits low, the valley holds moisture and fog well into the morning, and the old brick and stone in the historic districts is porous enough to keep it. Porous, damp masonry in shade is where mildew and algae take hold and stay.
The job
Not included: pressure washing a roof, roof repair, replacement or sealing.
Historic masonry sets the ceiling on pressure. Old brick, stone and lime mortar around the historic districts are soft washed, never blasted, because high pressure on aged mortar takes the joint out along with the growth.
Free Estimate

Only at low pressure. Aged brick and lime mortar in the Central Frankfort and Old Statehouse districts will lose mortar out of the joints under a pressure washer. A soft wash lifts the growth and leaves the joint alone.
Frankfort sits low and the valley holds moisture and morning fog longer than open ground does. Damp plus shade is what algae and mildew need, and porous old masonry holds that damp better than modern siding.
