Professional Roof Washing Dooms

Save $20,000 on Premature Roof Replacement

Those black streaks aren’t just ugly—they’re literally eating your shingles. Every month you wait, algae burrows deeper into your roof, moss traps moisture against the surface, and your roof ages faster than it should.

When you get your roof professionally cleaned, the dark stains disappear and your home looks well-maintained again. More importantly, your roof can actually reflect heat properly instead of absorbing it, which cuts your cooling costs.

You’ll get years more life from your current roof instead of facing a $20,000+ replacement bill for what’s essentially a cosmetic problem.

Soft Wash Roof Cleaning Process

How We Clean Without Damaging Shingles

First, we protect your landscaping and outdoor areas. Everything gets covered or redirected so cleaning solutions don’t harm plants, furniture, or other surfaces.

Next comes the specialized cleaning solution—not harsh bleach, but professional-grade treatment that kills algae and moss at the root level. We apply it using low-pressure equipment that won’t strip granules or void your warranty.

The solution does the work, not water pressure. After treatment has time to work, we rinse thoroughly with clean water. You’ll see immediate improvement, with continued results over the following weeks as dead growth washes away naturally.

Dooms Roof Cleaning Services

Complete Treatment for Virginia's Climate Challenges

Our roof cleaning service tackles all the growth that thrives in Virginia’s humid climate. We remove black algae streaks, green moss buildup, lichen patches, and mildew stains that are common throughout the Shenandoah Valley area.

The service includes pre-cleaning inspection, treatment of the entire roof surface, and gutter cleaning to prevent drainage issues. For Dooms homes with significant tree coverage, we pay special attention to north-facing sections that stay damp longer.

Every job comes with a warranty on our work and specific recommendations for your property. We understand that homes near wooded areas face unique challenges from seasonal debris, moisture retention, and reduced sunlight that require targeted solutions.

Will roof cleaning damage my shingles or void my warranty?

We use only soft wash methods recommended by the Asphalt Roofing Manufacturers Association. Our low-pressure process applies cleaning solution gently—never using high-pressure washing that strips granules or damages shingles. This approach is warranty-safe and endorsed by major manufacturers like GAF and CertainTEED. High-pressure washing can void warranties, but professional soft washing preserves coverage while effectively removing harmful growth. The cleaning solution eliminates algae and moss without the aggressive water pressure that damages roofing materials.
In Virginia’s humid climate, most homes need professional roof cleaning every 2-3 years. Homes with heavy tree coverage or limited sunlight may need annual treatment due to increased moisture and shade. Watch for early signs like small dark spots or light green patches. Catching growth early makes cleaning more effective and prevents deeper damage that affects your home’s value. Regular maintenance cleaning costs far less than waiting until heavy buildup requires intensive treatment or causes permanent staining.
Professional roof cleaning can restore a roof that looks terrible but remains structurally sound, saving $15,000-25,000 compared to premature replacement. Many Central Virginia roofs get replaced purely for appearance when cleaning would solve the problem. If your shingles aren’t extensively curling, cracking, or missing granules, and you’re not experiencing leaks, cleaning is likely the right solution. We assess whether your roof needs cleaning or actual replacement during inspection. The key is addressing growth before it causes structural damage. Once algae and moss start lifting shingles or causing significant granule loss, you may need repairs rather than just cleaning.
We take extensive precautions to protect your property. We pre-wet landscaping, cover sensitive plants, and use neutralizing agents to ensure cleaning solutions don’t harm gardens, lawns, or outdoor furniture. Our biodegradable cleaning solutions break down safely when properly diluted and rinsed. We redirect downspouts away from sensitive areas and thoroughly rinse all surfaces after treatment. With hundreds of properties cleaned near gardens, pools, and outdoor living spaces, our experience means we know how to work around your specific landscaping safely.
Most residential jobs in Dooms, VA take 4-6 hours depending on roof size and growth extent. The actual cleaning happens relatively quickly—most time involves preparation, protection, and thorough rinsing. You’ll see immediate improvement in heavily stained areas, with full results developing over 2-4 weeks as dead algae continues washing away. Some stubborn moss may take longer to completely release from shingles. We schedule work during favorable weather and communicate clearly about timing, duration, and what to expect throughout the process.
We combine 15+ years of experience with personal service that’s increasingly rare. You’ll always talk to real people, get clear process explanations, and receive hand-delivered materials and invoices. We’re certified by industry leaders including the National Soft Wash Alliance and have developed specialized techniques like cork-safe cleaning for wineries. This expertise means we handle unique challenges other companies struggle with. As a locally owned business invested in our Central Virginia reputation, we focus on complete customer satisfaction rather than rushing through jobs. Our business depends on referrals and repeat clients, not volume.
