Clean Roof, Protected Investment, Lasting Results

Your roof takes a beating from Virginia’s humid climate. Black streaks, moss, and algae aren’t just ugly—they’re feeding on your shingles and shortening your roof’s life.

The result? A roof that looks years younger and performs like it should. Your neighbors will notice the difference, and your wallet will thank you when you avoid that premature replacement.

Roof Cleaning Experts Massanutten

15+ Years of Getting Roofs Right

We’ve been serving Central Virginia since 2010, built on old-fashioned values and real expertise. We’ve cleaned thousands of roofs across the region, from high-end homes to historic properties.

What sets us apart? You’ll always get a real person on the phone, clear communication from our crew, and in-person service. We’re certified by industry leaders like the National Soft Wash Alliance and follow manufacturer-approved methods.

Massanutten’s climate creates perfect conditions for roof algae and moss. We understand these local challenges and have the experience to handle them properly—without the damage that comes from pressure washing or amateur attempts.

Soft Wash Roof Cleaning Process

Safe Process, Professional Results

First, we clear your roof of loose debris using blowers and soft-bristle brooms. No aggressive scraping that damages shingles.

Next, we apply our specialized cleaning solution at low pressure—no more force than a garden hose. The solution includes surfactants that help it cling to surfaces longer, maximizing effectiveness while protecting your landscaping below.

Algae starts disappearing almost immediately. Moss turns from green to white as it dies, then naturally falls away over the next 4-6 weeks with normal rainfall. We never use high pressure that strips granules or forces water under shingles.

Massanutten Roof Cleaning Services

Complete Roof Restoration, Local Expertise

We handle all roof types common in the Massanutten area—asphalt shingles, metal roofing, cedar shake, and slate. Each material gets the right treatment approach.

Virginia’s humid climate and shaded valleys create ideal conditions for algae growth. Black streaks can appear in just three years on unprotected roofs. Our treatment not only removes existing growth but helps prevent rapid return.

Insurance companies in Virginia have started canceling policies over moss and algae buildup. Don’t let deferred maintenance put your coverage at risk. Our process follows Asphalt Roofing Manufacturers Association guidelines, so you’re protected.

Will roof cleaning damage my shingles or void my warranty?

Absolutely not when done correctly. We use the soft wash method recommended by the Asphalt Roofing Manufacturers Association—the same process approved by major shingle manufacturers like GAF and CertainTeed. High-pressure washing will void your warranty and strip protective granules. Our low-pressure application uses no more force than a garden hose. We’ve cleaned roofs for these manufacturers directly, so you know our process meets their standards. The cleaning solution does the work, not mechanical force. This protects your shingles while eliminating the organic growth that actually shortens roof life.
Algae disappears almost instantly—you’ll see black streaks vanishing within 15-20 minutes of application. It’s pretty dramatic. Moss takes longer because it’s a plant with root systems. You’ll see it change from green to white or yellow as it dies, but the dead material needs time to dry out and fall away naturally. This happens over 4-6 weeks with normal rainfall. Trying to scrub or pressure wash moss off immediately will damage your shingles. The patient approach protects your roof while delivering complete removal.
Yes, when handled by professionals who take proper precautions. We pre-wet all vegetation around your home and cover sensitive plants during treatment. Our cleaning solution is diluted to effective levels that won’t harm established landscaping when properly managed. We also ensure thorough rinsing to prevent any residual buildup. For gutters, we actually clean them as part of the process since organic growth often extends into gutter systems. This helps with proper water flow and prevents the damp conditions that encourage re-growth.
Most Massanutten area roofs benefit from cleaning every 2-3 years, but it depends on your specific conditions. Heavily shaded roofs or those surrounded by trees may need attention more frequently. Virginia’s humid climate means algae can return within 2-3 years on untreated surfaces. Moss takes longer to establish but spreads quickly once it takes hold. We’ll assess your roof’s condition and exposure during our initial visit. Properties with good sun exposure and minimal tree coverage often go longer between cleanings, while shaded roofs in wooded areas may need annual attention.
We strongly advise against DIY roof cleaning. Beyond the obvious safety risks of working on a roof, improper cleaning can cause expensive damage. Store-bought pressure washers strip protective granules and can force water under shingles, creating leaks. Even “roof-safe” chemicals can damage shingles or kill landscaping if not properly diluted and applied. Professional equipment, proper dilution ratios, and safety protocols make a huge difference. We carry insurance and have the experience to handle problems that arise. The cost of professional cleaning is far less than repairing DIY damage.
Three decades of experience and a commitment to doing things right, not fast. We’re certified by industry organizations and follow manufacturer guidelines—not shortcuts that save time but risk your roof. You’ll always get a real person when you call, clear communication throughout the process, and in-person delivery of materials and invoices. We’re not a franchise or call center operation. We also handle unique challenges other companies won’t touch, like our cork-safe cleaning process for wineries. When other cleaners say “we can’t do that,” we figure out how to do it safely and effectively.
