Roof Cleaning Process Scottsville

The Right Way, Every Time

We start with a thorough inspection of your roof to identify problem areas and determine the best approach. Then we clear away loose debris using blowers and soft brushes—never anything that could damage your shingles.

Next comes our soft wash treatment. We apply a professional-grade solution at low pressure (no more than garden hose pressure) that kills algae on contact and starts breaking down moss growth. You’ll see black streaks disappear within minutes.

The treatment keeps working for weeks after we leave. Moss turns from green to white as it dies, then naturally falls away with rain and weather. No scrubbing, no pressure washing, no risk of damage to your roof or voided warranties.

What's Actually Included

Every roof cleaning includes debris removal, soft wash treatment, and a thorough rinse of surrounding areas to protect your landscaping. We also inspect your gutters and downspouts to make sure everything drains properly.

In Scottsville’s humid climate, algae and moss growth is practically inevitable. The James River valley creates perfect conditions for the kind of moisture retention that feeds these problems. That’s why our treatment is specifically formulated for Virginia’s climate—it’s designed to work in our humidity and temperature swings.

You also get our guarantee that the treatment will work as promised. If you’re not satisfied with the results after the full process is complete, we’ll make it right.

How often should I have my roof cleaned in Scottsville?

Most Scottsville homeowners need roof cleaning every 2-3 years, but it depends on your specific situation. Homes with significant tree coverage or north-facing roof sections may need attention more frequently. Virginia’s humid climate means algae can start showing up in as little as 3 years on roofs without algae protection. If you’re seeing black streaks or green moss growth, it’s time for cleaning. Waiting longer just means more aggressive treatment will be needed later. The good news is that proper soft wash treatment doesn’t just clean your roof—it keeps working for months to prevent regrowth, giving you more time between cleanings.

Is soft washing safe for my asphalt shingles?

Soft washing is the only method recommended by the Asphalt Roofing Manufacturers Association for cleaning roofs. Unlike pressure washing, which can strip granules and force water under shingles, soft washing uses low pressure and relies on cleaning solutions to do the work. Our process uses no more pressure than a garden hose, so there’s no risk of damage to your shingles or voiding your roof warranty. The cleaning solutions we use are specifically formulated for roofing materials and break down safely over time. Pressure washing your roof, on the other hand, can cause immediate damage and significantly shorten your roof’s lifespan. That’s why we never use high pressure on any roof surface.

Will the treatment harm my plants or landscaping?

We take extensive precautions to protect your landscaping during the cleaning process. Before we start, we pre-wet all plants and cover sensitive areas with plastic sheeting. After treatment, we thoroughly rinse all surrounding areas with fresh water. The cleaning solutions we use are designed to break down quickly when diluted, so they don’t persist in soil or harm established plants when proper precautions are taken. We’ve been doing this for over 15 Years without landscape damage when the job is done correctly. If you have particularly sensitive plants or prized landscaping, let us know during the estimate so we can plan additional protection measures. Your peace of mind is worth the extra effort.

Why can't I just pressure wash the roof myself?

Pressure washing a roof is one of the fastest ways to damage it permanently. High pressure strips away the protective granules on your shingles, can force water under shingle edges, and often voids manufacturer warranties. Even if you avoid immediate visible damage, pressure washing accelerates the aging process of your roof. Those granules that get blasted off don’t grow back—they’re what protect your shingles from UV damage and weather. Professional soft washing costs less than roof repair, takes less time than DIY attempts, and actually works. Most homeowners who try to clean their own roof end up calling us anyway when they realize the moss and algae come right back.

How long does roof cleaning take to show results?

You’ll see algae stains disappear almost immediately—usually within 15-20 minutes of treatment application. Black streaks vanish and your roof starts looking dramatically better right away. Moss takes longer because it’s actually a plant that needs time to die completely. You’ll see it start changing from green to white or yellow within a few days, indicating the treatment is working. Over the next 4-6 weeks, dead moss naturally falls away with rain and weather. This gradual process is actually better for your roof than trying to scrub or pressure wash moss off immediately. Letting it die and fall away naturally prevents damage to your shingles and ensures the treatment reaches all the way down to the root system.
