To learn more about RoofGlo®, continue reading our website. However, here's a brief overview:
- RoofGlo® is a Division of Boost Exteriors, Inc., established in 2004.

Instead, our Zero-Pressure technology provides immediate results using chemicals to eliminate algae, moss, and lichen at the root level, unlike soft washing, which relies on low-pressure washing.
- Safety First: We have implemented a strict safety system that allows us to clean roofs on most residential properties without walking on them.

The Hidden Damage Caused by Soft Washing Roofs
"Soft washing" is often marketed as safe. However, "Soft washing" can:
In simple terms, "soft" washing is "low" pressure washing. Just as "gentle" roof cleaning is another term for low-pressure, so is soft washing.
It is important to note that the terms "low-pressure" and "soft wash" lack scientific definitions. "Low-pressure" and "soft wash" are simply the pressure levels deemed necessary to haphazardly remove roof algae, moss, lichen, and stains, and are primarily based on the individual pressure-washing operator's interpretation or guesswork. As a result, the effectiveness and methods used for roof cleaning can vary significantly from one pressure washing service provider to another.

- Drive water into vulnerable areas
- Damage older or weathered roofs

Your Roof is Too Valuable to Gamble On Soft Washing.
We clean every roof as if it were our own, which is why we categorically refuse to use soft-washing (low-pressure) methods. This traditional roof washing method does not align with our commitment to providing the safest and highest-quality service.

What is the safest way to clean a roof?
Roofing experts agree that Zero-Pressure (100% No-Pressure Washing) Roof Cleaning is undeniably the safest and most effective way to clean asphalt shingles, tile, metal, TPO, and PVC membrane roofing systems.
Is soft washing safe for roofs?
Soft washing uses lower pressure than traditional power washing, but it can still cause damage by disturbing shingles or forcing water beneath roofing materials.
How often should a roof be cleaned?
Most roofs benefit from cleaning every 2–5 years, depending on environmental conditions and surrounding vegetation.
Can roof algae cause damage?
Yes. Algae can retain moisture and contribute to long-term deterioration if not properly removed.
Will roof cleaning extend roof life?
Yes. Zero-Pressure (100% No-Pressure Washing) roof cleaning removes harmful algae, mold, moss, and lichen growth and helps preserve roofing materials, extending the life of your roof.

What Happens If You Don't Clean Your Roof?
The vast majority of homeowners in Virginia Beach, Hampton Roads, and Northern VA invest thousands of dollars in their lawn, landscaping, and painting—yet often overlook one of the most important and costly components of their home: THE ROOF!
Ignoring roof contamination can lead to:
The vast majority of homeowners in Virginia Beach, Hampton Roads, and Northern VA invest thousands of dollars in their lawn, landscaping, and painting—yet often overlook one of the most important and costly components of their home: THE ROOF!
Ignoring roof contamination can lead to:
- Shortened roof lifespan
- Accelerated material breakdown
- Moisture retention and damage
- Higher long-term repair costs
- Reduced property value
Stop Roof Damage Before It Starts.
The best time to clean your roof is before damage occurs.
Early maintenance:
Most homeowners in Virginia Beach, Hampton Roads, and Northern Virginia don't seriously think about their roof or roof cleaning until they receive an insurance cancellation notice and/or a roof replacement estimate. By then, black algae streaks, moss, and lichen had been growing for years. These organisms hold moisture against the roof surface, trap moisture, retain heat, cause expensive structural repairs, accelerate the deterioration of roofing materials, and reduce property value.
Ignoring roof algae, moss, and lichen infestation doesn't make it go away. Ignoring roof algae, moss, and lichen infestation turns a manageable roof maintenance (roof cleaning) issue into a costly roof replacement.
A roof covered with algae, moss, and lichen can also:
• Significantly reduce curb appeal
• Signal deferred maintenance to buyers and Insurance Companies
• Shorten the lifespan of roofing materials
• Lead to expensive roof replacement bids that homeowners never expected
The good news is that some roofs in Virginia Beach, Hampton Roads, and Northern Virginia don't need replacement; they need to be professionally cleaned by RoofGlo®. Our Zero-Pressure specialized roof cleaning process safely eliminates black algae, moss, and lichen while helping preserve the integrity and appearance of your roof.
IMPORTANT NOTICE: Unfortunately, many homeowners in Virginia mistakenly believe roof stains are merely cosmetic. As a result, they often wait too long to address warning signs of roof deterioration (i.e., roof stains, algae, moss, lichen, curled roof shingles). Boost Exteriors, Inc. - RoofGlo® does not provide roof cleaning quotes for approximately 7% of inspections due to the roof's poor condition.

Insurance Companies Are Watching Your Roof!
Many homeowners in Virginia Beach, Hampton Roads, and Northern VA are unaware of this until it's too late. Insurance companies are increasingly paying attention to roofs that show signs of black algae, moss, and lichen. These organisms trap moisture, which accelerates roof deterioration.
When insurers notice visible roof contamination, they may consider it a sign of deferred maintenance, leading to:
• Policy Warnings
• Higher Premiums
• Coverage Restrictions
• Cancellation Notices

As the cost of roofing and building materials continues to escalate at an alarming rate, insurance companies are becoming increasingly stringent with homeowners in Virginia Beach, Hampton Roads, Northern Virginia, and across the United States who neglect the pervasive infestations of algae, mold, moss, and lichen embedded in their roof shingles.
For years, many homeowners have dedicated their time and resources to cultivating picturesque green lawns, often overlooking the harmful and horrific black-and-green organisms (algae, mold, moss, and lichen) that loudly thrive on their roofs, screaming out to every passerby. These unsightly infestations not only mar a home's aesthetic appeal but can also compromise the integrity of roofing materials, leading to significant structural damage over time. Today, failing to address algae, mold, moss, or lichen on your roof not only can affect home value but can also result in the cancellation of your insurance policy.**

Are you ready to extend the lifespan of your valuable roof and enhance its appearance? Are you looking for more detailed information than just repetitive reviews mentioning "on-time," "good job," and "low price" for roof cleaning services? If you seek a scientifically informed approach to roof cleaning that goes beyond traditional soft pressure washing methods, you've come to the right place. Continue Reading.
RoofGlo, Inc. was established over 21 years ago with the mission of extending the life of roof shingles through low-pressure (soft wash) cleaning methods. However, after one year of results we deemed unsatisfactory — including damaged roof shingle granules and water intrusion into unintended areas — we decided to discontinue our roof washing services and use our over $70,000 low-pressure roof-washing equipment exclusively for concrete cleaning. During the year-long pause in our roof cleaning services, we developed our own proprietary 100% No-Pressure roof-cleaning solutions, drawing on our background and guidance from a college, a shingle manufacturer, and government agencies. |
With over 20 years in the roof-cleaning and exterior building-cleaning industries, along with backgrounds in Business Administration, Environmental Public Health, Integrated Pest Management (IPM), Federal and State pest management, botany, chemicals, chemical safety procedures, right-of-way herbicides, and roof maintenance, we at Boost Exteriors, Inc. - RoofGlo® have created this informative and educational website to address your roof-cleaning and exterior building-cleaning questions.* Whether your home, commercial building, or government facility is located near the ocean or further inland in Virginia, Boost Exteriors, Inc. - RoofGlo® is here to help restore the appearance of your roof and building while preserving its integrity.

Is RoofGlo's Zero-Pressure Roof Cleaning safe for my roof in coastal Virginia
Absolutely. The unique coastal climates of Virginia Beach to Northern VA, characterized by salty ocean air, high humidity, and abundant shaded areas, create a favorable environment for the growth of algae, mold, moss, and lichen on roofs and exterior building surfaces.
Absolutely. The unique coastal climates of Virginia Beach to Northern VA, characterized by salty ocean air, high humidity, and abundant shaded areas, create a favorable environment for the growth of algae, mold, moss, and lichen on roofs and exterior building surfaces.
|
|
The constant humidity and salt-laden air often result in the formation of horrific roof algae (black streaks), mold, moss, and lichen. If left untreated, these issues can damage your roof and affect your property's overall appearance. Our Zero-Pressure Roof Cleaning Treatment can clean roof shingles without the risks of traditional pressure washing (including low-pressure and soft washing). By eliminating direct pressure on the roof shingle surface, we significantly reduce the risk of granule loss, which can compromise your shingles' effectiveness and lead to early roof replacement. Our Zero-Pressure method also minimizes the risk of water intrusion and other issues commonly associated with roof pressure washing, particularly in the Virginia Beach and Northern VA coastal areas, which may be more susceptible to weather-related damage.
Furthermore, by proactively addressing algae, mold, moss, and lichen growth, we not only enhance your home's curb appeal but also help you mitigate the risks of homeowner's insurance cancellation due to roof deterioration. |
Additionally, we specialize in Virginia waterfront properties. Our Zero-Pressure Roof Cleaning Treatment System not only includes Eco-Friendly Roof Cleaning but also Roof Cleaning Waste Collection and Recycling. Our innovative collection system effectively captures and contains roof-cleaning runoff, preventing waste from seeping into the surrounding landscape, soil, or local water supply.
Our creative Roof Cleaning Waste Collection and Recycling system, along with our Zero-Pressure roof and exterior building cleaning solutions, clearly set us apart from pressure-washing services.

Three Essential, Non-Negotiable Roof Cleaning Questions You Must Ask a Roof Cleaner:
Choosing the right roof cleaning company can save you thousands of dollars. However, selecting the wrong roof cleaning service can cost you a New Roof! 1. The first question to ask a roof cleaner is: Do you use pressure washing methods to clean roofs? It doesn't matter if pressure washing service reps call their roof pressure washing methods "low-pressure" or "soft wash"—pressure washing is pressure washing, period. Roof pressure washing can lead to severe consequences, including dislodged shingles, premature wear of roofing materials, and severe granule loss. Simply put, roof pressure washing can cost you a new roof. ATTENTION VIRGINIA BEACH, HAMPTON ROADS, AND NORTHERN VA HOMEOWNERS, YOU COULD BE THE INSURANCE POLICY: |
• NO STATE CONTRACTOR LICENSE.
• NO WORKERS COMPENSATION INSURANCE.
When a roof cleaner falls from your roof, or when a pressure washing service representative's injury occurs on your property, you could be liable for their medical bills, lost wages, and any resulting lawsuits. 5-Star reviews won't defend you in court. A "fair price" won't pay legal fees—cheap roof cleaning = high homeowner risk.
• NO WORKERS COMPENSATION INSURANCE.

A "fair price" won't pay legal fees—cheap roof cleaning = high homeowner risk.
|
2. Do you have Workers Compensation Insurance?
Stating "My company is fully insured" or highlighting positive reviews such as "On-time," "Good job," and "Fair price" will not protect you, the property owner, from lawsuits. It's essential to ensure that your roof cleaning service provider adheres to all legal and safety standards to protect yourself from any liability. Hiring a roof cleaner who lacks Workers Compensation Insurance is a gamble with your financial security. When an accident occurs while they are cleaning your algae-infested roof (Neglected Roof), the consequences can be catastrophic, putting you in a liability crisis. 3. Are you licensed by the State of Virginia (DPOR)? A state-issued DPOR (Department of Professional and Occupational Regulation) License indicates that the contractor has completed extensive testing and background checks. Unlike a city business license, a State Corporation Commission license, BBB accreditation, or positive Google reviews, a State DPOR Contractor's License represents a confirmed level of professionalism and accountability. |
Notice: Roof cleaning is one of the most hazardous exterior services—often more dangerous than roof installation itself.
Why are so many roof cleaning estimates priced under $1,000?
Why are so many roof cleaning estimates priced under $1,000?
|
|
Wet surfaces, steep slopes, and fall hazards make roof cleaning a high-liability job. Yet across Virginia Beach, Hampton Roads, and Northern VA, many pressure-washing companies advertise roof cleaning for under $1,000—no matter the roof's size or complexity.
Why? Low prices usually mean shortcuts. Many budget roof cleaners rely on inexpensive household or industrial cleaning chemicals that don't entirely remove algae, moss, or stains. When results fall short, they turn to power washing—rebranded as "low-pressure" or "soft washing"—which can damage roofing materials. Another major factor is Virginia law. Any contractor performing work valued at $1,000 or more must hold a State Contractor's License. To avoid this requirement, many pressure-washing services intentionally keep their estimates just below $1,000. These low prices may look like a "fair deal" in 5-star reviews—but price alone doesn't equal protection. Even more concerning: many low-cost operators do not carry Workers' Compensation Insurance. If an injury occurs, the liability can land on you. |
Do I need RoofGlo's Zero-Pressure roof cleaning service?
|
Your roof plays a crucial role in protecting your home, but many homeowners in Virginia Beach, Hampton Roads, and Northern Virginia often overlook the importance of regular roof cleaning. Here are the key signs that indicate it's time to call RoofGlo® and schedule a FREE roof cleaning inspection:
1. Black Streaks or Dark Stains: A resilient algae causes the unsightly black streaks on your roof called Gloeocapsa Magma, which thrives in Virginia's humid climate. This algae retains moisture, leading to increased loss of shingle granules and higher heat absorption. Gloeocapsa Magma can spread rapidly, accelerating the deterioration of your roof shingles. 2. Moss or Lichen Growth: If you notice green patches or crusty growths on your roof, it may be retaining moisture. Moss and lichen can lift shingles, cause structural damage, and shorten your roof's lifespan. |
3. Roof Appears Old or Discolored:
In Virginia, roofs typically require cleaning every 3-5 years, depending on factors such as shade, humidity, and debris accumulation. If your roof is within its lifespan, RoofGlo's Zero-Pressure Roof Cleaning Treatment can help restore your shingles' original color.
4. Clogged Gutters:
Gutters generally need to be cleaned twice a year. If your gutters are overflowing with debris from your roof, it's a clear indication that both your gutters and roof need urgent attention. Clogged gutters can cause damage to roof shingles, soffit trim, and other structural components of your home.

Why do black streaks form on my Roof Shingles in Virginia?
From Virginia Beach, VA, throughout Hampton Roads, Richmond, and Northern Virginia, the rapidly growing infestations of algae, mold, moss, and lichen on homeowners' roofs have significantly marred the curb appeal of their properties. The unsightly, algae-, mold-, moss-, and lichen-infested roofs have transformed the once-beautiful homes into disarray, making them appear Dirty, Unattractive, Unhealthy, and Neglected. Unfortunately, most homeowners and business owners misdiagnose the horrific roof stains haphazardly, labeling them as cosmetic issues such as dirty roof, jet fuel, tree sap, tree pollen, airplane waste, rotten shingles, poor attic ventilation, shingle discoloration, or cheaply made roof shingles. As a result, because they believe it is just a cosmetic issue, some property owners call a pressure-washing company to "soft wash" the roof shingles, further shortening the roof's lifespan, while others watch their roofs deteriorate. |
The unattractive black-blue roof infestation, or roof stains, is not simply a cosmetic issue; it is the scabbard or protective covering formed by aggressive algae called Gloeocapsa Magma. Gloeocapsa Magma can affect the roof shingles and property owners as follows:
• Gloeocapsa Magma not only looks horrific but can also contribute to mold, moss, and green lichen growth, which can also cause severe damage to the roof shingles and other significant problems throughout the structure.
• Gloeocapsa Magma feeds on limestone, a component introduced into the shingle composition to add weight. Because Gloeocapsa Magma feeds on limestone, it can weaken shingles, shortening their lifespan.
• A Gloeocapsa Magma-infested roof makes a home look Dirty, Unattractive, Unhealthy, and NEGLECTED!
• IMPORTANT NOTICE: Algae-Resistance Roof Shingles Are NOT Algae-Free Roof Shingles!

Before the For Sale sign goes in the yard, Clean the Roof!
Home sellers, if your real estate agent does not mention the importance of cleaning your unsightly algae-infested roof BEFORE taking MLS photos and putting up the for-sale sign, you might want to consider working with another agent. As a home seller, your primary goal should be to sell your home, not just to list it. Remember, first impressions are crucial when selling homes! For over 20 years, top-selling realtors and serious homeowners in Virginia Beach and Hampton Roads have trusted RoofGlo® Zero-Pressure Roof Cleaning to eliminate dark algae, mold stains, and other organic discolorations, such as moss and lichen, that instantly turn serious buyers away. A stained roof can make an otherwise beautiful home look DIRTY, UNATTRACTIVE, UNHEALTHY, and NEGLECTED, lowering perceived value before buyers step inside. Better listing photos. Stronger first impressions. Call RoofGlo®. |

What are our clients saying?

"What to do about black and green fuzzy growth on my roof! I called 6 roof cleaning and roofing companies regarding my badly stained roof. Most of them said it would be impossible to clean without bleach and pressure washers because of the advanced growth of algae and mold on the shingles. My family is very sensitive to bleach and the shingles were eighteen years old so I didn’t want them damaged by pressure. There was one company that offered me a unique solution of a chemical application. The thorough work of the RoofGlo team resolved my stained roof dilemma. My roof shingles were more than clean, they looked new! RoofGlo’s representative, Vance, answered my many health conscious questions. He was an excellent communicator and very knowledgeable in the underlying, biological problem. He assured me that the cleaning agents would be collected and recycled. More importantly when removing the algae, mold, and lichens my family's health would not be compromised. RoofGlo is the best choice and the only choice, for me.
An update five years after RoofGlo’s treatment: The roof shingles are still clean." Susan McCloskey, Virginia Beach, VA |
"After extensive research on exterior building cleaning and roof cleaning, I decided RoofGlo was the right choice for my company's facilities. The office was very professional on the phone. The inspector was extremely helpful. He provided me proof of state license, general and workers compensation insurance. He explained my buildings and roof cleaning processes from start to finish and made several roof maintenance recommendations. The exterior of my buildings and roofs looked horrible before the service people started. They were patient and did not rush the cleaning process. They protected the storm drains by collecting the cleaning waste. They also cleaned my buildings' soffit trims and signs, which were not included in the service agreement. My buildings, roofs, soffit trims, and signs look brand new. The results in increased curb appeal and property value far exceed the cost of this service. This is an amazing company with absolute top-notch customer service. I have recommended RoofGlo to all of my business associates." - N. Holly, Great Falls, Virginia.
"My husband and I have been homeowners for over 30 years, and we rarely have had a contractor with as much attention to detail as Vance with RoofGlo. We hired Vance to rid our roof of the long black algae, lichen, and moss streaks. We also thought we needed the exterior soffit repainted because it looked dingy and dirty. Not only did Vance make our roof look new again, he cleaned our soffit and saved us the $7,000 quote we received from the painter. Vance informed us that the condition of our roof caused the algae growth on the soffit. Clearly, we did not need the soffit repainted, and it all looks beautiful. Vance inspected the roof himself, finding a 1-2ft pine seedling growing in a roof crevice! He also cut back large tree branches that extended over the roof. He educated us that if we cleaned our roof on a regular basis, we could prevent early shingle replacement because of damage due to the algae. With Vance’s background knowledge in Botany, his understanding of chemicals allows him to balance the products to kill the algae yet not harm the building product he is cleaning. His workers were very professional, his trucks were very clean, and his prices extremely reasonable. He was always extremely courteous and cognizant of our needs. We would not hesitate to contact Vance again. His before and after photos make your home look new again!" - Dr. and Mrs. Neatrour, Virginia Beach, VA
"As a new customer, I had expectations of what results I would get after a RoofGlo treatment. Never could I have imagined how incredible it would turn out. First, I have been in business for over forty years and have dealt with all types of service people and contractors. RoofGlo surpassed my expectations with their professionalism, reliability, and thoroughness. But all of this pales when you look at the result of the job they did. It is nothing short of miraculous how spectacular the final product was. I can without hesitation recommend RoofGlo for your restoration project and would even go as far as saying you would be making a big mistake if you proceed with your project before you completely see what RoofGlo can offer you." - Dr. Frank Franasiak, Chesapeake, VA
