Safe, professional roof cleaning that actually extends your roof’s life and saves you thousands.

Those black streaks aren’t just ugly—they’re eating your roof alive. Every day that algae sits there, it’s feeding on the limestone in your shingles and shortening your roof’s lifespan.
When we’re done, you’ll see the difference immediately. Your roof looks years younger, your home’s value jumps back up, and you’ve just saved yourself thousands compared to premature replacement.
The real benefit hits your wallet twice: first, you avoid a $10,000+ roof replacement for years longer than you thought possible. Second, your energy bills drop because that heat-absorbing black mess is gone.
Blue Ridge Exterior Cleaning has been serving Free Union and the greater Charlottesville area for over three decades. We’re not the newest company on the block, but that’s exactly why Free Union homeowners trust us with their most valuable investment.
Our team is certified by industry leaders like Spray Wash Pro and the National Soft Wash Alliance. We’ve developed innovative processes that even wineries trust—including our cork-safe cleaning methods that protect the most delicate surfaces.
What sets us apart in Free Union’s affluent community is simple: you get real people who answer the phone, clear communication throughout the job, and the kind of personal service that built our reputation over 15 Years.
First, we inspect your roof to identify the specific type of growth and any potential issues. No two roofs are exactly the same, so we customize our approach based on what we find.
Next comes the soft wash treatment. We use manufacturer-approved, low-pressure techniques that kill the algae without damaging your shingles. No high-pressure washing that voids warranties or strips away protective granules.
The specialized cleaning solutions do the heavy lifting. They penetrate deep to eliminate not just the visible stains, but the root systems that would otherwise grow back quickly. Finally, we protect your landscaping and clean up completely, leaving you with a roof that looks like it was installed yesterday.

Your roof cleaning service includes complete algae and organic growth removal using safe, soft wash methods. We treat the entire roof surface, not just the visible problem areas, because algae spreads in ways you can’t always see.
Free Union’s humid climate and tree coverage create perfect conditions for Gloeocapsa Magma—the technical name for that black algae destroying roofs throughout central Virginia. Our process eliminates this specific organism plus any moss, lichen, or mildew that’s taken hold.
You also get a thorough inspection that identifies potential issues before they become expensive problems. We protect your gutters, landscaping, and outdoor furniture throughout the process. Most importantly, we use only methods approved by shingle manufacturers, so your warranty stays intact.
