They’re algae feeding on your shingles right now, and every month you wait makes the problem worse and more expensive.
Hear from Our Customers
You know those black streaks creeping down your shingles? That’s not just dirt—it’s Gloeocapsa magma, a blue-green algae that’s literally eating your roof. Virginia’s humid climate makes this problem worse than almost anywhere else in the country.
When we finish, those streaks are completely gone. Your roof looks like it did the day it was installed. Neighbors notice immediately.
But here’s what really matters: you just extended your roof’s life by years, maybe decades. Clean roofs in North Garden last 50% longer than neglected ones. Your home’s value stays protected, and your insurance company has no reason to question coverage when you need it.
Blue Ridge Exterior Cleaning built our reputation on something simple: doing the job right the first time. For over 15 Years, we’ve been the company North Garden homeowners call when they want their property treated with respect.
You get a real person when you call, not a call center. Our crew communicates clearly about timing, process, and results. We deliver invoices in person because that’s how business should be done.
Our certifications from Spray Wash Pro, Spray Wash Academy, and the National Soft Wash Alliance aren’t just wall decorations—they represent hundreds of hours of training in the safest, most effective cleaning methods available. We’ve even developed specialized cork-safe processes for local wineries, proving our technical expertise goes beyond standard residential work.
First, everything around your house gets protected. Plants, walkways, outdoor furniture—it all gets covered before any cleaning solution touches your roof. This isn’t optional; it’s standard procedure.
The actual cleaning uses manufacturer-approved soft wash techniques, not pressure washing. High pressure strips away protective granules and voids warranties. Instead, specialized solutions get applied at low pressure—about the same as your garden hose.
Those solutions do the real work, breaking down algae and moss without damaging shingles. After the right dwell time, everything rinses away cleanly. The algae dies completely and washes off with the next few rains.
You see immediate results, but the real benefit shows up over time. Properly cleaned roofs stay cleaner longer because the treatment kills algae spores, not just surface stains.

Professional roof cleaning means comprehensive algae and moss removal using methods that protect your manufacturer’s warranty. You get complete property protection, thorough cleanup, and treatment specifically designed for Virginia’s climate challenges.
North Garden’s mature tree canopy creates perfect conditions for algae growth. Those beautiful oaks and maples provide shade that keeps moisture on your roof longer, feeding the organisms that create those black streaks. We address these specific local conditions with techniques proven effective in humid climates.
Our treatment prevents regrowth for years, not months. While DIY attempts or improper cleaning might look good initially, our professional treatment kills algae spores and creates conditions that prevent reestablishment. That’s why professional cleaning is actually more economical long-term than repeated amateur attempts.
Most importantly, you get methods that extend your roof’s life instead of shortening it. Proper cleaning can add decades to your roof’s lifespan, while improper methods can void warranties and cause premature failure.
