Professional Roof Cleaning Mount Crawford

What Clean Roofs Actually Do for You

You get your curb appeal back the day we finish. Those black streaks and green patches disappear, and your home looks like it should again. But the real value shows up over time. Clean roofs last longer because algae and moss aren’t eating away at your shingles anymore. Your energy bills drop because dark algae isn’t absorbing extra heat. And you avoid the headache of premature roof replacement. Most importantly, you get peace of mind. Your roof is protected, your investment is secure, and you don’t have to worry about what those stains are doing to your home’s value.

Mount Crawford Roof Cleaning Experts

Thirty Years Means We've Seen Everything

We’ve been cleaning roofs in Central Virginia since before most companies existed. We’ve handled everything from century-old historic homes in Mount Crawford to complex commercial properties to delicate winery facilities. What makes us different is simple: you get a real person when you call, certified technicians who know what we’re doing, and a company that’s been here long enough to stand behind our work. We’re certified by industry leaders like the National Soft Wash Alliance and Spray Wash Academy. Mount Crawford’s historic homes need special care. Houses built in 1908 can’t handle the same treatment as new construction, and we understand that. Your home matters to you, and that means it matters to us too.

Roof Cleaning Process Mount Crawford

How We Clean Without Damaging

We start with a thorough inspection of your roof to identify problem areas and check for any existing damage. This tells us exactly what we’re dealing with and how to approach your specific situation. Next comes the soft-wash treatment. We apply our eco-friendly cleaning solution at low pressure—never the high-pressure washing that can strip granules and void warranties. The solution does the work, not force. We let the treatment dwell for the right amount of time, then rinse everything clean with low-pressure water. For heavy moss buildup, some material may continue to loosen over the following weeks and wash away naturally with rain. You’ll see immediate results on algae stains, and the full cleaning effect develops over time.

What You Get With Our Service

Our roof cleaning service removes algae, moss, lichen, and mildew using manufacturer-approved methods that won’t void your shingle warranty. We clean all roof types—asphalt shingles, metal roofing, tile, and slate. Mount Crawford’s humid climate and tree coverage create perfect conditions for algae growth, especially on north-facing roof sections. We understand local conditions and adjust our approach accordingly. Your historic home gets the careful treatment it deserves. Every job includes protection for your landscaping, complete cleanup, and a detailed explanation of what we found and what we did. We’re fully insured, and you get direct communication throughout the process—no subcontractors, no runaround.

Will roof cleaning damage my shingles or void my warranty?

Our soft-wash method is specifically designed to clean without damage. We use low-pressure application and manufacturer-approved cleaning solutions that won’t strip granules or harm shingles. High-pressure washing can void warranties by removing protective granules, but our soft-wash technique is actually recommended by the Asphalt Roofing Manufacturers Association. We follow their guidelines exactly—50/50 cleaning solution applied at low pressure, proper dwell time, then gentle rinsing. Your warranty stays intact, and your roof gets properly cleaned. We’ve been doing this for over 15 Years without warranty issues because we do it right.

How long do roof cleaning results last in Mount Crawford?

Most roofs stay clean for 3-5 years after professional cleaning, but Mount Crawford’s humid climate and tree coverage can affect this timeline. North-facing sections that stay shaded longer may show algae regrowth sooner. The key is catching problems early. Once algae establishes itself, it spreads faster. Regular cleaning every 3-4 years typically prevents heavy buildup and keeps your roof looking good. We can also install zinc strips during cleaning to help prevent future algae growth. The zinc releases ions when it rains, creating an environment that discourages algae. It’s a long-term solution that many of our customers choose.

Is roof cleaning safe for my landscaping and gutters?

We take extensive precautions to protect your property. Before we start, we pre-wet all landscaping around your home and cover sensitive plants with plastic sheeting. Our cleaning solution is diluted and applied carefully to minimize runoff. We also rinse thoroughly with clean water to remove any residue. Most plants handle brief exposure to our diluted solution without problems, especially with proper pre-wetting. For gutters, we actually help by removing organic debris that can cause clogs. We clean up completely when we’re done, so you won’t find moss or algae debris in your gutters or landscaping.

Can you clean moss without damaging century-old shingles?

Historic homes require special care, and we’ve been cleaning Mount Crawford’s century-old roofs for decades. Older shingles are often more brittle, so aggressive cleaning can cause real damage. Our approach is patience-based. We apply cleaning solution and let it do the work rather than scrubbing or using force. Heavy moss buildup may take multiple treatments or extra time to fully remove, but we never rush the process on historic properties. We also inspect carefully before starting to identify any existing damage or vulnerable areas. Your home’s architectural integrity matters, and we adjust our methods to preserve it while still getting your roof properly clean.

What's the difference between pressure washing and soft washing?

Pressure washing uses high-pressure water to blast away dirt and stains. On roofs, this can strip protective granules, damage shingles, and force water under roofing materials where it doesn’t belong. Soft washing uses low-pressure application and relies on cleaning solutions to do the work. The chemicals kill algae and moss, then we rinse gently with low-pressure water. It’s safer, more effective, and won’t void your warranty. Think of it like the difference between scrubbing a stain with a wire brush versus letting a cleaning solution dissolve it. Both remove the stain, but one causes damage while the other doesn’t. For roofs, soft washing is always the right choice.

Do you offer any guarantees on your roof cleaning work?

We stand behind our work completely. If algae stains don’t come clean or return unusually fast, we’ll come back and retreat those areas at no charge. For moss removal, we guarantee that our treatment will kill the moss, though heavy buildup may take weeks to fully loosen and fall away. That’s normal and expected—dead moss that’s rooted into shingles needs time to release naturally. We’ve been in business for over 15 Years because we do things right the first time. Our reputation depends on satisfied customers, so if something isn’t right, we make it right. That’s how we’ve built our business, and that’s how we keep it.
