Safe soft-wash roof cleaning removes years of algae, moss, and black streaks without damaging your shingles or voiding warranties.
Hear from Our Customers
When your roof is properly cleaned, you immediately see the transformation. Those embarrassing black streaks disappear. The moss that was slowly working its way under your shingles is gone. Your home looks like it belongs in the neighborhood again instead of being the one everyone drives past and notices for the wrong reasons.
But the real value goes deeper than curb appeal. You’re protecting a roof that should last 25-15 Years instead of needing replacement at 12-15 years because of cosmetic concerns. You’re avoiding those insurance company letters about “neglected” roofs. You’re preventing water damage that starts when moss gets established and creates pathways for moisture.
Most importantly, you’re getting results that actually last because we kill the growth at the root level, not just blast it off the surface where it comes right back.
Blue Ridge Exterior Cleaning brings over 15 Years of experience to every roof cleaning project in Grottoes and throughout Central Virginia. We’ve built our reputation on old-fashioned values, personal service, and never compromising quality for price.
What sets us apart is our commitment to doing things the right way. We’re certified by industry leaders including the National Soft Wash Alliance, and we use only ARMA-approved methods that protect your shingles and preserve warranties. When you call us, you get a real person who understands your concerns and can explain exactly what needs to happen.
We’ve tackled everything from historic properties to complex commercial projects, including our innovative cork-safe cleaning process for local wineries. In Grottoes, we understand how the Shenandoah Valley’s climate creates perfect conditions for roof algae and moss, and we know exactly how to address it safely and effectively.
Our roof cleaning process starts with protecting your landscaping and property. We cover plants and ensure nothing gets damaged during the cleaning process.
Next, we apply our specialized cleaning solution using low-pressure equipment – never high-pressure washing that can strip granules or force water under shingles. This solution is specifically designed to kill algae, moss, and lichen at the root level, not just clean the surface.
The solution does the work, not brute force. We let it dwell on the surface for the right amount of time to break down years of organic growth. Then we rinse everything away with gentle, controlled pressure that won’t damage your roof or void your warranty.
The entire process typically takes a few hours, depending on your roof size and the extent of growth we’re dealing with. You’ll see immediate results, and because we’ve killed the organisms causing the problem, your roof stays cleaner much longer than surface-only cleaning methods.

Our roof cleaning service in Grottoes addresses all the issues that Virginia’s humid climate creates for your roof. We remove black algae streaks, green moss growth, lichen colonies, and other organic buildup that makes roofs look aged and neglected.
We clean all roof types safely – asphalt shingles, metal roofing, tile, and cedar shake. Each material gets the right approach because what works for one can damage another. Our team knows the difference and adjusts our methods accordingly.
The Shenandoah Valley’s climate means roofs here face unique challenges. We see heavy moss growth on north-facing slopes that stay damp longer. We deal with algae that thrives in our humid summers. We understand how debris from the surrounding mountains creates perfect conditions for organic growth, and we know how to address each issue without causing damage.
Every service includes a thorough inspection, complete cleaning, and advice on maintenance to keep your roof looking its best longer.
