Professional roof cleaning that actually protects your investment while restoring your home’s curb appeal.
Hear from Our Customers
You know those black streaks aren’t just cosmetic. They’re algae feeding on your shingles, reducing your roof’s lifespan and curb appeal. When we’re done, your roof looks years younger and functions the way it should.
Unlike algae, moss can be detrimental to asphalt shingle performance, causing the leading edges of shingles to lift or curl, which increases the risk of shingle blow-off during wind events. Our soft wash process eliminates these threats without the damage that pressure washing causes.
Your neighbors will notice. More importantly, your roof will last longer, your energy bills stay manageable, and you avoid the headache of premature replacement.
Blue Ridge Exterior Cleaning has been providing high-quality soft washing & pressure washing services to residential and commercial customers throughout the Central Virginia region for over 14 years, establishing ourselves as the premier name when we opened in 2010. But our experience goes deeper—over 15 Years of tackling everything from historic properties to complex commercial jobs.
Virginia’s climate causes moss to grow anywhere, with the region commonly seeing vegetation every year in early spring. We understand what Massanetta Springs homeowners face: the humidity, the shade from mature trees, the way organic growth takes hold on north-facing roof sections.
You get real people answering the phone, clear communication from our crew, and the kind of service that comes from doing business the right way for three decades.
We use only the approved method for roof cleaning, never using high pressure, and use a safe, low-pressure soft wash system that removes algae without the damage caused by high-pressure methods that can void your warranty. Here’s what happens when we show up.
First, we protect your landscaping and assess your roof’s specific needs. Every roof tells a different story—some have light algae staining, others are dealing with thick moss that’s been building for years.
The most effective method of cleaning algae and moss from a roof is with a 50:50 mix of laundry strength liquid chlorine bleach and water, applied with a sprayer and allowed to dwell on the roof surface for 15 to 20 minutes, then rinsed thoroughly with low pressure water. We apply our cleaning solution, let chemistry do the heavy lifting, then rinse everything clean. Algae will disappear and wash away with subsequent rains, while moss will loosen over time and may be removed with a leaf blower.

Roof cleaning is the process of algae, mold, moss, mildew, and lichen removal from roofs, and cleaning can extend the duration of a roof’s ability to function and enhance curb appeal. But here’s what that means for your specific situation in Massanetta Springs.
Algae and other types of build-up often form on the north and west parts of roofs that are shaded or receive less sun and can reduce a roof’s life expectancy. We target these problem areas specifically, understanding how your local environment—the mature trees, the humidity patterns, the way water sits after our frequent storms—affects your roof.
Our service includes complete moss and algae elimination, treatment of those stubborn dark streaks, and protection for your gutters and landscaping throughout the process. We’re also certified by industry leaders like the National Soft Wash Alliance, so you know the methods we use are proven and safe for your specific roofing material.
