Professional Roof Washing Lyndhurst

What Clean Really Looks Like

You know those black streaks aren’t just ugly—they’re actually eating your shingles. Every month you wait, that algae digs deeper into the granules, shortening your roof’s life and costing you money.

When we’re done, you’ll see the roof you forgot you had. Colors come back. Streaks disappear. Your neighbors will ask what you did.

More importantly, you’ll have added years to your roof’s life and stopped the damage that leads to expensive repairs down the road. Plus, a clean roof reflects heat better, which means lower cooling costs during Virginia’s hot summers.

Will roof cleaning damage my shingles or void my warranty?

No, when done correctly with proper soft wash techniques. We use manufacturer-approved methods that major shingle companies like GAF and CertainTEED specifically recommend for warranty compliance and roof maintenance. High-pressure washing can strip protective granules, force water under shingles, and cause damage that voids warranties. That’s exactly why we never use high-pressure methods on any roofing material. Our low-pressure soft wash system with specialized cleaning solutions removes stains safely without any risk to your roofing materials. We’re certified by the National Soft Wash Alliance and follow all manufacturer guidelines. Your warranty stays intact, your shingles stay protected, and your roof gets properly cleaned.
Most homeowners in the Lyndhurst area see results last 3-5 years, though Virginia’s humid climate means some properties may need cleaning sooner. Heavily shaded areas or homes near trees typically need more frequent service due to increased moisture and organic debris. The key is treating the problem at its source, not just surface cleaning. Our specialized solutions kill algae spores and roots completely, preventing rapid regrowth and giving you longer-lasting results than simple pressure washing. We also offer maintenance programs for properties that want to stay ahead of the problem. Regular treatment every 2-3 years keeps roofs looking their best, prevents heavy buildup, and maximizes the lifespan of your roofing investment. Many clients find this approach more cost-effective than waiting for severe staining to develop.
Roof cleaning uses specialized low-pressure soft wash techniques designed specifically for roofing materials and manufacturer warranty requirements. Pressure washing uses high-pressure water that can damage shingles, strip protective granules, and force water under shingles causing leaks. Our soft wash system applies cleaning solutions at low pressure, allows them time to work killing algae and stains at the cellular level, then rinses clean with controlled water flow. The specialized chemicals do the work, not water pressure. Pressure washing might look faster and cheaper upfront, but it often causes damage that leads to expensive repairs or premature roof replacement later. Professional soft washing takes more time, expertise, and specialized equipment, but it’s the only safe way to clean a roof properly while maintaining warranty coverage and extending roof life.
We take extensive precautions to protect your landscaping and property throughout the entire roof cleaning process. Before we start, we pre-treat and thoroughly water all plants and landscaping to create a protective barrier against cleaning solutions. Our cleaning solutions are biodegradable and designed to be diluted quickly, but we still use tarps and protective coverings for sensitive areas. We coordinate water flow carefully to avoid oversaturating plant beds and always rinse thoroughly. Our crew is trained to work around your property with care and attention to detail. If you have special concerns about particular plants, garden areas, or outdoor furniture, let us know during the estimate. We’ll create a custom protection plan for your specific landscaping and property needs, ensuring everything stays safe and healthy.
Yes, but moss and lichen require more specialized treatment and patience than simple algae stains. These organisms actually grow roots into the shingle granules and can cause permanent damage if not addressed properly with the right techniques. We use specific treatments designed for moss and lichen that kill the organisms and help them release from the shingles safely over time. Some moss may need several weeks to die completely and naturally fall away after treatment—physical scraping can damage shingles. The sooner we treat moss and lichen growth, the better the results and less potential damage to your roof. If growth has been present for years, there may be some staining or granule loss that cleaning can’t reverse, but we can stop further damage and prevent the problem from spreading to other areas of your roof.
Roof cleaning costs vary based on roof size, pitch, accessibility, type of roofing material, and the extent of staining or organic growth present. Most residential jobs in the Lyndhurst area represent a significant but worthwhile investment that’s far less expensive than premature roof replacement. We provide detailed, transparent estimates with no hidden fees or surprise charges. Our pricing reflects the professional equipment, specialized training, full insurance coverage, and quality results we deliver. We never compromise on safety or quality to offer the lowest price. Consider that professional roof cleaning can extend your roof’s life by 5-10 years and improve your home’s value significantly. When you factor in prevented repairs, energy savings from better heat reflection, and avoided premature replacement costs, it’s one of the best investments you can make in your property. Many clients tell us they wish they’d called us sooner.
