Trusted Roof Cleaning for Owensboro
When was the last time you scheduled a roof cleaning for your Owensboro home? If it's been over a year, chances are you're overdue for your next one. Not to worry, though - the reliable roof cleaning experts at Baxter Pro Services are here to help!
Keeping your roof clean is a great way to keep your entire home protected. The structure of your roof is an important part of your home's structure, and if it's damaged, that damage can start to spread and affect the rest of your home. Common contaminants like black algae can wreak havoc on roofs (especially shingled roofs), making roof cleaning an important part of good roof maintenance.

Our low-PSI roof cleaning process uses biodegradable detergents to get into all the tiny areas on your roof where contaminants can hide to clean away growth and leave your roof in the best shape possible.

Protect Your Shingles with Gentle Low-Pressure Roof Washing
Unlike with driveway washing, patio cleaning, and other exterior cleaning services that utilize high-PSI techniques, the best way to keep your roof clean and clear is to utilize soft washing. Soft washing is a great option for the more fragile surfaces on your Owensboro home. including certain types of soft wood, stucco or vinyl siding, and, of course, shingles.
Because roofs are delicate surfaces, we consistently use soft washing for them. We apply specialized cleaners to break down the dirt and grime on your roof. These cleaners break down mold, mildew, bacteria, and other contaminants, including the subtly dangerous black algae that can wreak havoc on your roof over time if left unaddressed. Once the cleaners are done, they're washed away with a gentle water-bleach mixture applied somewhere between 40-80 PSI, which is a gentle mist. This will leave your roof both cleaned and sanitized.
Soft washing may be less forceful than traditional pressure washing, but it's no less effective at cleaning when it comes to your roof. Call us to learn more about our soft washing services today!
Rejuvenate Your Home With House Washing
Another important soft washing service that we provide is house washing. Using the same techniques we utilize to clean algae and other harmful contamination from your roof, house washing is a low-PSI cleaning service that removes stains, kills harmful organic growth, and washes away dust, dirt, oxidation, and other grimy buildup.
Because our house washing is low-PSI, it's safe for all types of siding, including vinyl, stucco, and painted wood. Our house washing is perfect for maintaining your home's health and curb appeal throughout the year, as well as preparing it for exterior painting work. If it's been more than a year since you last had your Owensboro home washed, get in touch and ask about our house washing services today!
Frequently Asked Roof Cleaning Questions
Have you ever seen those big, dark, streaky stains on someone's roof (or maybe even your own)? While a lot of people mistake those stains for soot, dirt, or even mold, most of the time, those stains are a telltale sign of black algae growth.
Black algae, or Gloeocapsa magma, is a type of bacteria that thrives in warm, humid conditions and makes its home on exterior surfaces, particularly roofs, as it feeds off of the calcium carbonate from limestone granules in asphalt shingles. Those mineral granules are necessary for keeping your shingles UV reflective, and when black algae eats through them, they destroy your shingles' reflective abilities and can cause them to weaken, shrivel, and break off.
Black algae is a particularly common nuisance, particularly in the summertime, which is why homeowners should stay vigilant and act if they see those telltale signs. If you've got dark stains on your rooftop, contact us for a roof cleaning today!
As with most pressure washing and soft washing services, we generally recommend that homeowners schedule a roof cleaning at least once a year. However, if you notice stains or debris build-up more often than that, it's never a bad idea to schedule one sooner!
