Roof Soft Washing on a Prospect property

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 Prospect is different

Prospect's problem is its own landscaping. Hunting Creek, the first subdivision in the city, wraps around the Hunting Creek Country Club with roughly 945 homes under mature trees, and the Estates of Hunting Creek off Covered Bridge Road puts another 235 homes directly on the golf course. Sutherland adds around 300 custom homes built on former farmland by the Ohio River, with two fountain lakes at the entrance. Irrigated turf, standing water and full tree cover keep north walls and shingles damp, which is where the green film and the black streaking start.

What drives it in Prospect

The mature canopy over Hunting Creek and the water features at Sutherland are the drivers. Course and lawn irrigation runs through the growing season, the lakes hold humidity at the entrance, and the tree cover means much of the roof area never sees direct afternoon sun. Homes here also tend toward large roof spans and long driveways, so once growth takes hold there is a lot of surface to recover.

What we do differently in Prospect

Most Prospect homes are large, two story and heavily landscaped, so the work is as much about protecting plantings as cleaning the house. We pre-wet and rinse the beds along the wash line before anything else happens.

What Prospect owners ask first

Will the roof solution hurt the landscaping around a Hunting Creek home?

Not when the beds are pre-wet and rinsed. Mature plantings around Hunting Creek and the Estates are the main thing we plan around: we soak the beds before we start, keep the mix off the foliage, and rinse everything down as we go.

Do you clean around the lakes at Sutherland?

Yes. Homes near the fountain lakes hold more moisture on the shaded side, so they usually need the north facing walls done more often than the rest of the house.

What areas do you serve?

Louisville and the surrounding communities out to about 80 miles, including Prospect, Anchorage, Mount Washington, Shepherdsville, Taylorsville, Shelbyville, Bardstown, Elizabethtown, Frankfort and Lexington. Lexington is the furthest, at 78 miles, and gets booked as its own trip.
