How to Choose the Best Roof Cleaning Service Company:
NOTICE: You get what you pay for with roof cleaning services in most cases.

Roof pressure washing can cost you a new roof. 
WARNING: Roof pressure (high, low, soft) washing reduces the durability of roof shingles.
The first choice homeowners should make when choosing the best roof cleaning service in Virginia Beach, Chesapeake, Suffolk, Hampton Roads, Northern, VA, and throughout Virginia is whether the roof cleaning service requires pressure washing to remove algae, mold, moss and lichen infestation from the roof shingles. 
Roof algae, mold, moss, and lichen can decrease a roof's life. Also, incorrectly cleaning a roof can decrease the lifespan of roof shingles. ​Unfortunately, most property owners call concerning their roof algae, mold, moss, and lichen problems long after the infestation has heavily infested most of their roof. At this stage of growth, if the roof infestation is removed or cleaned incorrectly, the process can rapidly decrease the remaining life of the roof shingles. Pressure washing services use terms such as "gentle as rain," "shingle safe," "approved for roof shingles," "soft washing," or "low-pressure" to describe their roof washing or roof cleaning methods. These roof cleaning methods merely consist of lowering and raising pressure to wash or remove visible stains from the roof.
The rooted growth of algae, mold, moss, and lichen is between the roof shingle granules. Removing the visible stains with pressure can rip or pull up the rooted algae, mold, moss, lichen, and shingle granules. Pressure washing has its place; however, it is not on a roof. 
Today's fragile exterior building materials such as roof shingles, PVC roof membrane, vinyl, Dryvit, stucco, and EIFS require Zero Pressure Cleaning (no low-pressure washing, no soft washing) to preserve their longevity. 

Better Business Bureau
The second choice homeowners should make when choosing the best roof cleaning service in Virginia is whether the Better Business Bureau fully accredits the business. Before hiring a roof cleaning service, always check the BBB's website to see if the business is fully accredited. Then, only hire an accredited business. An accredited business is usually not a fly-by-night roof cleaning service—an accredited business plans on being in business tomorrow.
NOTICE: The Better Business Bureau verifies a company's State license and lists the license number and expiration date on its website. 
If a State license is not listed, the roof cleaning service is highly likely not to have one.

State License 
The third choice homeowners should make when choosing Virginia's best roof cleaning service is whether the State fully licenses the companies.
NOTICE: A City Business License is not a State Contractor's License. In addition, Home Advisor, Angie, and Google Reviews are not contractors' licenses to perform or do business in the State. Anyone, including criminals, can purchase a City Business License, Google review stars, Home Advisor, and Angie badges. A State Contractor's License requires passing a test and criminal history.
Roof cleaning services that do not have a State License and do not have Workers Compensation Insurance coverage have much lower operating costs than their properly licensed and insured counterparts. Lower operating costs allow roof cleaning services to submit lower bids than their competitors' quotes. If a roof cleaner's offer is low, this is a red flag that they might not have a State License and Workers Compensation Insurance. Hiring an unlicensed and underinsured roof cleaning contractor to save a few dollars may seem like a good idea to a naïve person, but the potential risks outweigh the benefits. 

Workers Compensation Insurance
WARNING: Just like business owners, homeowners can be sued too.
The fourth choice homeowners should make when choosing the best roof cleaning service in Virginia is whether the roof cleaning service has Workers Compensation Insurance. 
Roof cleaning is dangerous! Regardless of a roof cleaner's experience or reviews, a roof cleaner can be seriously injured or killed performing roof cleaning services. Ensure that the company that performs work on your property has Workers Compensation Insurance. Workers Compensation Insurance protects the workers and protects the property owner(s), and the company.
Unlike fly-by-night pressure washing services trying to make cheap, quick bucks low-pressure washing roofs, a State Licensed roof cleaning company with Workers Compensation Insurance cares about its workers, the property owner(s), and plans on being in business tomorrow.

General Liability Insurance
The fifth choice homeowners should make when choosing the best roof cleaning service in Virginia is, in addition to Workers Compensation Insurance, do the roof cleaner have General Liability Insurance. 

Knowledge and Experience
The sixth choice homeowners should make when choosing the best roof cleaning service in Virginia is the contractor's experience with roofing materials and knowledge of removing algae, mold, moss, and lichen without damaging the roofing materials and compromising their protection. In addition, how long the roof cleaning service has been in business is an essential factor.

Do not walk on a wet roof. 
The seventh choice homeowners should make when choosing the best roof cleaning service in Virginia is whether the roof cleaning method requires the roof cleaner to walk on the roof. Unfortunately, since most property owners have NEGLECTED their roofs, attempting to walk on property owners' algae, mold, moss, and lichen-infested roofs can be highly hazardous for the roof cleaner and highly costly to the property owner. 

Protect the Environment 
The eighth choice homeowners should make when choosing the best roof cleaning service in Virginia is, during the cleaning process, do the roof cleaner capture and contain the roof cleaning waste to protect the environment. No matter which product or products roof cleaning services uses, the roof cleaning runoff (waste) should be captured, contained, and removed from the property during the cleaning process.

"After doing tons of research on roof cleaning, I decided RoofGlo was the right choice for me. The office was very professional on the phone. The inspector was extremely helpful. He provided me proof of state license and workers compensation insurance. He explained the roof cleaning process from start to finish and he also made several roof maintenance recommendations. My roof looked horrible before the service team started. They were patient and did not rush the treatment application process. They collected all of the roof cleaning runoff. They also cleaned my soffit trim which was not included in the service agreement. My roof and soffit trim looks 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. If I could give RoofGlo a 10 star review I would do so."  - N. Holly, Northern Virginia

Roof shingles deteriorate regularly. Today's roof shingles require maintenance.
RoofGlo's Zero Pressure Roof Cleaning Maintenance Program is the first step to roof shingles reaching their maximum lifespan.

The rapidly growing infestation on homeowners' and business owners' roofs throughout Virginia Beach, Chesapeake VA, Suffolk ​VA,   Hampton Roads VA, Williamsburg VA, Poquoson VA, Smithfield VA, Yorktown VA, Northern VA, North Carolina, and the United States are affecting the roofs' lifespan and destroying the curb appeal of most homes and businesses with asphalt and slate roof shingles. Unfortunately, most homeowners and business owners see the horrific roof stains as a cosmetic issue and haphazardly misdiagnose them as jet fuel, tree sap, airplane waste, bad shingles, dirty roof, tree pollen, poor attic ventilation, shingle discoloration, or cheaply made roof shingles. As a result, most property owners ignorantly watch their costly roof deteriorate until they have no option but to replace it. 

The unattractive roof infestation or roof stains are not simply a cosmetic issue; they are the scabbard/protective covering formed by aggressive algae called Gloeocapsa Magma. Gloeocapsa Magma can affect the property owner as follows:
• Obviously, a Gloeocapsa Magma-infested roof makes a home or business look dirty, unattractive, unhealthy, and neglected!
• Gloeocapsa Magma not only looks terrible, it can contribute to the growth of mold, moss, and lichen, which can also cause damage to the roof shingle as well as cause other 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 the shingle, therefore, shortening the life of the roof shingle.
• Insurance Companies are now issuing "Cancellation Notices" to property owners with algae, moss, and lichen-infested roofs. 
Many of our most recent customers were issued a "Cancellation Notice" from their Insurance Company to either replace the roof, have the roof properly cleaned, or face cancellation. Insurance Companies recognize the seriousness of algae, moss, and lichen-infested roof.
• A roof replacement only gives the appearance of a Gloeocapsa Magma-free roof for several years. Because Gloeocapsa Magma is an airborne spore, it can attach itself to a new roof, causing visible unattractive roof stains in approximately three to five years.
• Do not replace asphalt roof shingles prematurely. It can take up to 300 YEARS for asphalt roof shingles to decompose in a landfill. Instead, contact RoofGlo™ to schedule a FREE roof inspection.

"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 streaks of black algae, lichen and moss. We thought we needed the exterior soffit repainted as well 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 as well as the shrubbery and surrounding grass. Not only did Vance protect our plants and backyard from the chemicals using... to catch the overflow, he protected the grass from any runoff. ​Additionally, Vance cleaned our wood deck, vinyl clad deck railing, and our expansive paver stone driveway. 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. I would not hesitate to contact Vance again for any exterior cleaning of our home, deck, outdoor furniture, walkways, or pavers. His before and after photos make your home look new again!" - Dr. and Mrs. Neatrour, Virginia Beach VA

Extending the Life of Roofs and Exterior Building Materials is our Mission.

I didn't want to pressure wash my roof so I researched and found RoofGlo. Really glad I did. Vance explained the roof cleaning process to me. First they treat the roof to remove algae, then they apply a growth inhibitor to prevent the algae from returning. They control the multiple applications very well and don't leave any chemical residues anywhere. I have gutters and downspouts so they used my gutter system to collect all runoff. It went into a tank in their truck to be taken away for recycling. My roof looks amazing. All the streaky stains are gone. There is a new home under construction next door to me, so I was able to directly compare a newly installed roof and my 14 year-old one. My roof really looks brand new! Vance and his team are going to be busy because I am going to recommend their services to everyone here in my community. Oh and one more comment. The office staff and coordination was great. Scheduled when I wanted, showed up on time, reminder phone calls all perfect. Rare these days. - Dave Volonino
