You’ll add 5-8 years to your roof’s lifespan when those black streaks and moss patches are gone. That algae you’re seeing isn’t just ugly – it’s literally eating away at your shingles’ protective coating, causing premature deterioration that costs thousands down the road.
A proper roof cleaning saves you money in three ways: it prevents expensive repairs, lowers your energy bills by restoring your roof’s UV protection, and protects your home’s resale value. When potential buyers see those dark streaks, they assume your roof needs replacement.
Clean roofs also mean safer homes. Moss buildup causes shingles to lift and curl, creating leak risks that can damage your interior walls and ceilings. Professional cleaning eliminates these problems before they start.
We bring over three decades of experience to every Mount Crawford roof cleaning project. Our company is built on old-fashioned values – you’ll get a real person on the phone, clear communication from our crew, and in-person service that treats your property like our own.
What sets us apart in the Mount Crawford area is our specialized expertise. We’re certified by industry leaders including the National Soft Wash Alliance and have developed innovative cleaning processes for unique challenges, including cork-safe methods for local wineries.
Mount Crawford’s historic homes, many dating back over 100 years, require careful attention to detail. We understand how to clean these older roofs without causing damage, using proven low-pressure techniques that preserve your roof’s integrity while eliminating harmful algae and moss growth.
The process starts with a thorough inspection of your roof’s condition and the type of growth present. We use a proven soft wash technique – never high pressure that can damage shingles or void warranties.
A specialized cleaning solution is applied to kill algae, moss, and other organic growth at the source. This solution is designed to break down the organisms that are feeding on your shingles’ limestone content. The treatment dwells on the surface for the optimal time to ensure complete elimination of growth.
The final step involves a gentle, low-pressure rinse that removes the dead organisms and reveals your roof’s original appearance. For heavier moss buildup, some organic matter may continue to detach over the following weeks as it dries and falls away naturally. Our crew protects your landscaping throughout the entire process and leaves your property spotless.

Our roof cleaning service addresses all types of organic growth common to Mount Crawford’s climate. Virginia’s humid conditions create perfect environments for gloeocapsa magma (the blue-green algae causing black streaks), moss, lichen, and mildew growth.
The service includes treatment for asphalt shingles, metal roofing, and other roofing materials. Each surface requires specific techniques and solutions to achieve optimal results without damage. Mount Crawford’s older homes often feature unique roofing challenges that require experienced handling.
Beyond cleaning, the service includes gutter cleaning when debris accumulates during the process, protection of foundation plantings and landscaping, and a thorough property cleanup. We also provide guidance on preventive measures to extend the time between cleanings, helping Mount Crawford homeowners protect their investment long-term.
