Your roof in Virginia Beach, Chesapeake, Suffolk, Hampton Roads, and Northern Virginia is one of the most expensive and important architectural features of your building or home.

Protect your roofing system before problems start!
The coastal climate of Virginia Beach, VA, Hampton Roads, and Northern VA is marked by high humidity, briny ocean air, and warm temperatures, creating a perfect environment for algae, mold. moss, and lichen to flourish on roofs.
In Virginia Beach, VA, one of the most common culprits behind those unsightly black roof stains is a type of algae known as Gloeocapsa magma. The unique coastal climate of Virginia Beach, VA, characterized by salty ocean air, high humidity, and abundant shaded areas, creates a favorable environment for the growth of Gloeocapsa magma on roofs. This resilient organism thrives in these ideal conditions, leaving behind unsightly dark stains and discoloration on roof shingles. If these ugly algae stains go unaddressed, they can detract from your home's visual appeal and gradually deteriorate roofing materials, leading to potentially expensive repairs or even the need for a full roof replacement.
"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
In Chesapeake, VA, the problem is even more pronounced due to the abundance of trees and thick vegetation characteristic of many neighborhoods. These shaded areas often retain moisture, creating a microclimate especially conducive to the growth of algae, mold, moss, and lichen. The buildup of these organisms not only detracts from the roof's appearance but also traps moisture against the surface, which can accelerate the breakdown of shingles and underlayment. This heightened exposure to moisture can precipitate serious structural issues, including roof leaks and water damage that can seep into your home.
"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

Stop Roof Damage Before It Starts.
The best time to clean your roof is before damage occurs. Early maintenance:
What Happens If You Don't Clean Your Roof? The vast majority of homeowners in Virginia Beach, Chesapeake, Hampton Roads, and Northern VA invest thousands of dollars in their lawn, landscaping, and exterior painting—yet often overlook one of the most important and costly components of their home: THE ROOF! What starts as roof staining can turn into structural deterioration. |
Ignoring Roof Contamination Can Lead to:
For years, 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.
- Shortened roof lifespan
- Accelerated material breakdown
- Moisture retention and damage
- Higher long-term repair costs
- Reduced property value
- Important Notice: Homeowners in Virginia Beach, Chesapeake, Hampton Roads, and Northern Virginia must address roof algae, mold, moss, and lichen infestation immediately; failure to do so can result in cancellation of your homeowners' insurance.

Proper Care for Your Roof—Understanding Material Vulnerabilities
Caring for your roof requires a specialized approach, distinct from the cleaning methods used for driveways and soft washing. While low-pressure washing is often a safe choice for hard surfaces like concrete, it is completely unsuitable for premium residential roofs, due to several specific vulnerabilities in various roofing materials: - Tile Fragility: Both clay and concrete tiles are known for their aesthetic appeal and durability; however, they are also susceptible to cracking under pressure washing. Even low-pressure washing can cause stress that leads to fractures, potentially resulting in expensive replacements and repairs. - Slate Sensitivity: Natural slate roofs offer a unique elegance but come with their own set of challenges. The materials are fragile and can shift during cleaning. Low-pressure washing can cause breakage or chipping, making it critical to handle slate roofs with care to avoid costly maintenance. - Metal Coating Integrity: Metal roofs are known for their longevity and resistance to the elements, but the protective coatings on these roofs can be affected by low-pressure washing. Damage to the coating can expose the metal beneath, making it vulnerable to rust and corrosion, which can dramatically shorten your roof's lifespan. - Granule Loss on Asphalt Shingles: Asphalt shingles are designed with protective granules that shield them from UV rays and weather damage. Low-pressure cleaning can strip these granules, accelerating aging and reducing the shingles' effectiveness in protecting your home. Given these vulnerabilities, RoofGlo® has developed the Residential Premium Roof Preservation Program™—a more intelligent and considerate approach to protecting luxury roofing systems. Roofs are engineered systems — not concrete driveways. By focusing on the unique needs of roofing materials, our program promotes longevity and maintains the aesthetic integrity of roofs. |

RoofGlo® Roof Preservation is a strategy, not a handyman roof cleaning service.
RoofGlo® Roof Preservation's process is fundamentally different from low-pressure soft washing services. First, we conduct an on-site inspection rather than relying on online guesstimates like most roof cleaning services. We began the inspection by identifying the roofing material and evaluating the roof, including taking measurements, documenting the severity and type of infestation, assessing the roof's complexity, and evaluating the challenges of capturing cleaning waste. We also document how to protect the storm drains and waterfront areas. Based on this evaluation, we create a customized preservation plan that includes Zero-Pressure roof cleaning tailored to the specific roof type. For many of our clients, this approach leads to an annual preservation program rather than a one-time roof cleaning. Our strategy helps maintain the roof's appearance, reduces the risk of organic buildup, and provides documentation of the roof's condition and maintenance history.

Three Essential Roof Cleaning Questions You Must Ask Roof Cleaning Services:
|
|
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. |
WARNING: 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.
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.

2026 FAQs:
Have you received an Insurance Cancellation Notice due to roof algae, moss, or lichen? Here's what you need to know. Click here.
IMPORTANT NOTICE FOR VIRGINIA HOMEOWNERS: Insurance companies now understand how algae, mold, moss, and lichen affect the longevity of roof shingles. Consequently, insurance companies are issuing Cancellation Notices to homeowners in Virginia Beach, Chesapeake, Suffolk, Hampton Roads, Richmond, and Northern Virginia for neglected roofs.
Does RoofGlo® offer online estimates for roof cleaning?
No, RoofGlo® does not provide online estimates for roof cleaning. We offer on-site quotes for our services instead.
Online or virtual estimates rely on outdated maps and aerial views, which do not accurately assess the extent to which algae, mold, moss, or lichen have embedded themselves in and affected the roof shingles. Such estimates can only provide rough guesstimates, not professional quotes for our roof cleaning treatments. The only way to accurately and thoroughly evaluate your roof's condition is through an on-site inspection by an experienced roofing contractor or an expert roof-cleaning company.
What is soft washing?
NOTICE: Many homeowners hear "soft wash" and think there is no pressure washing. But soft washing still uses pressure.
Although soft washing is a rebranded name for low-pressure washing, it is, in fact, pressure washing. Many roof-cleaning services promote soft washing as a "safe" method, leading to the misconception that it is entirely harmless because of its low-pressure application. Algae, mold, moss, and lichen grow between the granules of roof shingles. Using any pressure washing—whether low or soft—can damage the roof by ripping up or pulling out the rooted algae, mold, moss, lichen, and shingle granules.
The terms "low-pressure" or "soft washing" lack a scientific definition and rely on the pressure-washing operator's interpretation and guesswork. Therefore, soft washing (low-pressure) roof cleaning methods can:
In 2026, the safest cleaning methods for asphalt shingles, tile, metal, PVC, TPO, EPDM, and commercial flat roofing systems do not include low-pressure washing, soft washing, brush scraping, household bleach, steam cleaning, colored lye soap, DIY products, or guesswork. The most effective and safest solution for all roofing systems is True 100% No-Pressure (Zero-Pressure) Roof Cleaning.
What is Zero-Pressure Roof Cleaning?
Zero-Pressure or 100% No-Pressure roof cleaning is a method that removes algae, moss, and organic buildup without using water pressure or physical force.
Instead of blasting contaminants off your roof, our cleaning process:
Traditional roof cleaning methods rely on force. RoofGlo® relies on precision and protection.
NOTICE: Many soft-wash roof cleaning services use "No-Pressure" as a marketing term for their soft washing services and also for chemical treatments that can take weeks to wash away. In contrast, RoofGlo® Zero-Pressure Roof Cleaning is 100% NO-PRESSURE WASHING. There's no hype, no guesswork, and no need to wait for rainstorms to rinse. Our Zero-Pressure Roof Cleaning Treatments provide immediate, same-day results.

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.
