Soft Wash Roof Cleaning Process

The Right Way Every Time

First, your roof gets a thorough inspection to identify problem areas and check for any existing damage. We protect your landscaping and surrounding areas before starting any cleaning.

The soft wash process uses manufacturer-approved, low-pressure techniques that kill algae at the root without damaging your shingles. No high-pressure washing that strips granules or forces water under shingles.

The cleaning solution does the work, not brute force. Algae, moss, and lichen are eliminated safely and completely. The roof is then rinsed thoroughly, and you get a final walkthrough to ensure everything meets your standards.

What Makes Virginia Different

Fishersville’s location in Central Virginia creates perfect conditions for roof algae. The area’s humidity, combined with homes built primarily in the 1980s through early 2000s, means most properties are dealing with Gloeocapsa magma – that black algae that creates ugly streaks.

The north-facing sides of roofs in neighborhoods like Teaverton and Wyndham Hills stay damp longer, making them prime targets for algae growth. Without proper treatment, these organisms feed on the limestone in your shingles and hold moisture against your roof.

Local homeowners have learned that Virginia roofs need regular maintenance just like Florida properties do. The difference is getting ahead of the problem before it forces an expensive replacement of a roof that still has years of life left.

How often should I have my roof cleaned in Fishersville?

Most Fishersville homes need professional roof cleaning every 2-3 years, depending on your specific location and roof exposure. Properties with more tree coverage or north-facing sections may need attention sooner. Virginia’s humid climate accelerates algae growth compared to drier regions. The key is addressing the problem before those black streaks become heavy staining that’s harder to remove. Regular cleaning actually extends your roof’s lifespan significantly. It’s much more cost-effective than waiting until the algae has caused enough damage to require premature replacement.
Soft washing is the only method recommended by major shingle manufacturers like GAF and CertainTeed. It uses low pressure and specialized cleaning solutions to kill algae without damaging your roof. High-pressure washing strips protective granules from shingles and can force water underneath, leading to leaks and damage. The soft wash process we use eliminates algae at the source while preserving your shingles’ integrity. Our team is certified in proper soft washing techniques and uses only manufacturer-approved methods. We’ve cleaned thousands of roofs without causing damage because we do it the right way.
Absolutely not when done properly. We pre-wet and protect all plants, shrubs, and grass before starting any cleaning process. Our solutions are designed to be effective on algae while being safe for properly protected vegetation. We’ve been doing this for over 14 years in Central Virginia, so we know exactly how to protect your landscaping. Everything gets covered, watered down, and monitored throughout the process. After cleaning, we rinse everything thoroughly to ensure no residue remains. Most homeowners are surprised that their plants actually look healthier after we’re done because we’re so thorough with the protection and rinsing process.
Most residential roof cleaning jobs in Fishersville take 2-4 hours, depending on the size of your roof and the extent of algae growth. We don’t rush the process because doing it right takes time. The actual cleaning happens relatively quickly, but proper preparation and protection of your property is where we spend significant time. We also include a thorough inspection and final walkthrough. Weather conditions can affect timing – we won’t work in high winds or during rain for safety reasons. We’ll always communicate clearly about scheduling and any delays due to conditions beyond our control.
Algae appears as black or dark streaks and is the most common problem in Fishersville. It’s actually a bacteria called Gloeocapsa magma that feeds on moisture and limestone in shingles. Moss grows upright and appears green and fuzzy, typically in shaded areas that stay damp. Lichen looks like crusty patches and is actually a combination of algae and fungus growing together. All three can damage your roof if left untreated, but they require different approaches for safe removal. Our team identifies exactly what you’re dealing with and uses the appropriate treatment method for complete elimination.
Roof cleaning costs vary based on your roof size, pitch, and the extent of algae growth, but it’s a fraction of what you’d pay for premature roof replacement. Most Fishersville homeowners invest between a few hundred to around a thousand dollars for complete roof restoration. Consider that a new roof in this area can cost $15,000-$30,000 or more. Professional cleaning every few years protects that investment and extends your roof’s lifespan significantly. We provide detailed estimates after inspecting your specific situation. There are never surprise charges, and we explain exactly what’s included in your service before any work begins.
