Those dark stains aren’t just ugly—they’re algae literally eating your shingles and shortening your roof’s life by years.
Hear from Our Customers
Here’s what happens when you get your roof properly cleaned. Your shingles stop deteriorating from algae damage. Those embarrassing black streaks disappear completely. Your roof starts reflecting heat properly again, which means your air conditioning doesn’t work overtime every summer.
Most importantly, you add 5 to 8 years to your roof’s lifespan. That’s thousands of dollars you keep in your pocket instead of handing over to a roofing contractor for premature replacement.
Your home looks like you actually care about it again. Neighbors notice. If you’re thinking about selling, potential buyers won’t immediately start calculating roof replacement costs when they drive up.
Blue Ridge Exterior Cleaning has been protecting Central Virginia roofs for over 15 Years. We understand exactly what Mount Sidney’s humid climate does to your shingles—and more importantly, how to fix it safely.
This isn’t a fly-by-night operation. We’re certified by the National Soft Wash Alliance, Spray Wash Pro, and Spray Wash Academy. We’ve developed specialized cleaning processes that work on everything from standard asphalt shingles to delicate historic properties to complex commercial buildings.
When you call, you get a real person who knows what they’re talking about. Our crew communicates clearly about what we’re doing and why. We deliver invoices and materials in person because that’s how business should be done.
First, we protect your landscaping and surrounding areas. No shortcuts here—your plants matter too.
Then comes the soft wash treatment. This isn’t pressure washing that strips granules and voids warranties. We use low-pressure application with professional-grade solutions that kill algae and moss at the root level.
The treatment sits on your roof for the right amount of time to break down all that organic growth. For lighter algae stains, you see results immediately. For heavier moss buildup, the treatment continues working over the following weeks as dead growth naturally falls away with rain.
Finally, we rinse everything thoroughly with low pressure. Your roof is clean, your warranty is intact, and those black streaks are gone for years.
Ready to get started?
You get complete algae removal—those black streaks that make your roof look 20 years older than it is. Moss removal that actually gets to the root system instead of just scraping the surface. Lichen treatment for those stubborn circular growths that dig into your shingles.
Mount Sidney’s location in the Shenandoah Valley means your roof deals with specific challenges. Morning dew that lingers on north-facing slopes. Tree coverage that creates perfect conditions for moss growth. Seasonal humidity that feeds algae colonies.
We handle all roof types common in the area—asphalt shingles, metal roofing, and specialty materials on historic properties. Each gets the specific treatment it needs. No one-size-fits-all approach that might work on some roofs but damage others.
The service includes full protection for your gutters, landscaping, and outdoor furniture. You don’t have to move anything or worry about chemical damage to your plants.
