Those dark stains aren’t just ugly—they’re algae eating your shingles and cutting years off your roof’s life.
Hear from Our Customers
You know that feeling when you drive up to your house and actually feel proud of what you see? That’s what happens when the black streaks disappear and your roof looks like it did when it was new.
Clean roofs don’t just look better. They last longer because algae and moss aren’t breaking down your shingles anymore. Your energy bills drop because dark algae isn’t absorbing extra heat. And when it comes time to sell, buyers see a well-maintained home instead of wondering what other maintenance you’ve skipped.
The difference isn’t subtle. It’s the kind of transformation that makes neighbors ask what you did.
Blue Ridge Exterior Cleaning has been cleaning roofs in Central Virginia since 2010. Not because we’re the cheapest option, but because we’re the one that actually works.
We understand something most companies miss: your roof is expensive to replace, so the cleaning process better not damage it. That’s why we use low-pressure soft washing instead of blasting away granules with high pressure.
We’re certified by the industry leaders who actually know how to do this safely. Spray Wash Pro, Spray Wash Academy, and the National Soft Wash Alliance don’t hand out certifications to just anyone. And when you call, you get Brett or someone from our team who actually knows your area and your specific challenges—not a call center reading from a script.
First, our team applies a specialized cleaning solution that’s designed to kill algae, moss, and lichen without damaging your shingles. This isn’t household bleach or some generic cleaner—it’s formulated specifically for roofing materials.
The solution sits and does the work while we protect your landscaping and anything else that might be affected. No rushing, no shortcuts. Then we rinse everything with low pressure that won’t strip granules or force water under shingles.
You’ll see immediate results on algae, but moss and lichen take time to fully break down and naturally fall away. That’s normal and actually better than scraping or pressure washing, which can damage your roof. Most of the organic growth will be gone within a few weeks, and what remains will continue to break down over the following months.
Ready to get started?
Every roof cleaning includes a thorough inspection to identify any issues before they become expensive problems. Our team has seen enough roofs to spot trouble early, and we’ll let you know if something needs attention.
The cleaning itself covers your entire roof system—not just the visible parts. Gutters get cleaned and brightened because dirty gutters defeat the purpose of a clean roof. Any moss or algae on siding gets treated too, because these problems don’t respect property lines.
Crimora’s location in the Shenandoah Valley creates perfect conditions for organic growth. The humidity from the South River, combined with shade from mature trees in neighborhoods like Northwood and Vesper View, means roofs here need more attention than in drier climates. We understand these local conditions and adjust our approach accordingly.
