What are the Black streaks on my Roof?
Excellent question! The black streaks that are typically on the north side is a algae called "Gleocapsa magma". This algae eats away at the limestone in the shingles, causing damage. To fix this we spray a algicide on the roof to treat any organics living on the roof. The next time it rains it washes off any dead organics left over.
Many homeowners are hesitant to have their roof cleaned simply because they are uneducated on the benefits of soft washing. They might have heard bad things about a company attempting to clean roofs with pressure washers or about killing plants. These companies are referred to the 99 dollar guy, and are not reputable professionals. We are a professional business with professional services. Frequently asked questions are “Will it hurt my plants?”, ” What do you use to clean the roof?”, or “Do you guys use a pressure washer?”
Only hire a professional company with a good reputation to clean your roof! When done correctly, soft wash roof cleaning will not damage your landscaping. We know the pride and effort it takes to keep your lawn and vegetation looking great. Our soft wash system will only add value to your home without damaging any plants. We use our proprietary algicidal solution to gently remove any Gleocapsamagma, roof stains, algae, lichens and any other organic organisms living on your roof. Our soft wash system uses low pressure treatment (under 100 psi). This is not high pressure. Pressure washers do not clean–they only knock off the surface level, and they WILL DAMAGE YOUR ROOF!
You can expect to pay anywhere from 30 to 50 cents a square foot depending on a difficulty of the job.
We have a minimum of $399
Almost 80% of home owners replace their roof too early! We can save you thousands. Roofs are made to last 25- 30 years–why would you want to replace it early and waste thousands of dollars?

As Lexington property owners turn the page to the New Year, creating a comprehensive maintenance plan is essential for protecting your investment. While many homeowners focus on interior renovations or landscaping, professional pressure washing should be at the top of your property maintenance checklist. Here's why early planning and scheduling these services with Bluegrass Soft Wash can make a significant difference in your property's health and appearance throughout the year.
Kentucky's harsh winters take a considerable toll on exterior surfaces. Road salt, ice melt products, and constant freeze-thaw cycles can damage your property in ways that aren't immediately visible. These elements leave behind residue and create optimal conditions for mold and mildew growth once temperatures rise. Professional pressure washing helps address these winter-related issues before they become costly problems.
Planning your pressure washing services early in the year offers several key benefits:
1. Priority Scheduling: Secure your preferred service dates with Bluegrass Soft Wash before the spring rush
2. Early Detection: Identify winter damage before it worsens
3. Cost Efficiency: Address issues before they require more extensive repairs
4. Enhanced Protection: Create a protective barrier against spring and summer elements
Your home's exterior faces constant exposure to harsh elements. Professional house washing from Bluegrass Soft Wash not only removes visible dirt but also eliminates harmful contaminants that can damage siding, trim, and windows. Using specialized low-pressure techniques and eco-friendly cleaning solutions, this service helps maintain your home's structural integrity while enhancing its curb appeal.
Winter snow and ice can wreak havoc on your roofing system. Professional roof cleaning removes accumulated debris, moss, and algae that can trap moisture and compromise your roof's integrity. Combined with thorough gutter cleaning, this service ensures proper water drainage and prevents costly water damage to your home's foundation.
Lexington's winter weather leaves driveways and walkways particularly vulnerable to damage. Salt residue, chemical treatments, and moisture penetration can lead to concrete deterioration. Professional pressure washing removes these harmful substances and helps prevent long-term damage while improving safety by eliminating slippery algae and moss growth.
Wooden structures require special attention after winter. Professional deck and fence cleaning from Bluegrass Soft Wash removes gray weathering, mold, and mildew while preparing surfaces for protective treatments. This service extends the life of your outdoor living spaces and maintains their aesthetic appeal throughout the year.
While rental pressure washers are readily available, professional service from Bluegrass Soft Wash offers several crucial advantages:
Professional technicians understand the specific pressure and cleaning solutions required for different surfaces. Using commercial-grade equipment and environmentally safe cleaning products, they achieve superior results without risking damage to your property.
Professional services save time and prevent costly mistakes. What might take a homeowner several weekends to complete, professionals can accomplish in hours, with better results and lower risk of property damage.
Professional pressure washing services include thorough property inspections, identifying potential issues before they become major problems. This proactive approach helps you plan and budget for necessary repairs or maintenance.
