Restore The Beauty Of Your Roof, Extend Its Life

Premium Soft Washing Roof Cleaning Services in Prince William, Fairfax and the Entire DMV area

Your roof does more than keep out the rain—it keeps your entire home safe from the elements and is a big part of your home’s curb appeal. But over time it takes a beating. Algae, mold, dirt, and dark streaks can make it look old and worn out.

At Surface Pro LLC, we specialize in restoring your roof’s appearance and integrity with a safe, proven method: soft washing. Our expert team brings years of experience and industry-backed techniques to every project, delivering results you can see from the street.

Benefits Of Our Roof Soft Wash Service

Extends Roof Lifespan: By eliminating harmful biological growth and preventing its return, our soft washing treatment can extend your roof's functional lifespan by 5-10 years. Given that roof replacement in Northern Virginia typically costs $12,000-$20,000, this preservation delivers significant financial benefits.

Restores Curb Appeal: First impressions matter. A clean roof makes your whole house look better and according to real estate professionals in the DMV area can increase your property value by 5-10%. Whether you’re selling or just want to take pride in your home’s appearance our roof cleaning service delivers instant gratification.

Improves Energy Efficiency: Dark stains and biological growth absorb heat, making your AC work harder in the summer. By removing those heat-absorbing contaminants our cleaning service can reduce your cooling costs by 15-20% in the summer months.

Prevents Structural Damage: Left untreated algae, moss and lichen will degrade your roofing materials and eventually cause leaks and structural issues. Our preventative maintenance stops the damage cycle before you need expensive repairs.

Maintains Warranty: Most roofing manufacturers require proper maintenance to keep warranties valid. Our soft wash method meets all manufacturer guidelines so your warranty stays intact.

Why Soft Washing?

Soft washing is a gentle, low pressure method that uses eco-friendly cleaning solutions to safely remove organic growth and grime. According to the Asphalt Roofing Manufacturers Association (ARMA) soft washing is the preferred method for cleaning asphalt shingles because it protects the granules that form your roof’s waterproof barrier.

Pressure washing may seem like a quick fix but using high pressure on roofing materials can strip away the protective coatings and void your warranty. 



According to the National Roofing Contractors Association, using high-pressure washing on asphalt shingles can reduce roof life by 5-10 years through granule loss and seal damage. Soft washing gets deep into the layers of buildup to kill bacteria, fungi, moss, and algae—all without damaging the surface.

Prevents Costly Damage

Traditional pressure washing can strip away the protective granules on asphalt shingles, basically speeding up your roof’s aging process. These granules shield your roof from UV rays and weather impacts—once gone, your shingles become prone to cracking, curling and premature failure. Our soft washing technique preserves these critical granules while still getting your roof clean.

Most importantly, manufacturer warranties often specifically warn against high-pressure cleaning. Using our professionally approved soft washing method keeps your warranty valid and extends your roof’s functional life.

Conquer Algae, Moss & Lichen

Those black streaks on Northern Virginia roofs aren’t dirt—they’re colonies of Gloeocapsa Magma, an aggressive cyanobacteria that feeds on the limestone fillers in asphalt shingles. Unlike pressure washing which only removes the surface growth, our specialized cleaning solution gets down to the root structures of these organisms.

Moss is another big threat to your roof’s integrity. As it grows, moss lifts shingles and creates pathways for water infiltration. The freeze-thaw cycles in Fairfax and Prince William counties can then exacerbate this damage and cause leaks and structural issues. Our soft washing formula eliminates moss completely, including the root systems.

Remove Black Streaks For Good

Black streaks on your roof don’t just look bad—they absorb heat and can increase your cooling costs by up to 30% according to Energy Star. Our soft washing treatment removes these ugly streaks and includes inhibitors that prevent rapid regrowth so your roof stays cleaner longer.



Unlike DIY cleaning attempts or basic pressure washing which often see streaks return within months, our professional treatment keeps roofs clean for 2-5 years depending on tree coverage and environmental conditions.

Surface Pro Roof Cleaning Process

Our 5-step roof cleaning process delivers great results while keeping safety first:

1. Roof Inspection

Our techs start with a full roof evaluation, identifying areas of concern including biological growth, staining patterns and damage. This determines the cleaning formula needed for your situation.

2. Property Protection

Before we start we protect the surrounding landscaping, cover sensitive features and secure all windows and vents. We use specialized equipment to contain the overspray and runoff.

3. Custom Solution Application

We use specialized low pressure equipment to apply our biodegradable cleaning solution that’s tailored to your roof type and level of contamination. The solution starts working immediately to break down biological growth.

4. Dwell Period

Unlike other cleaning services we allow the proper dwell time for our solution to penetrate and eliminate the contaminants at the source. This patience ensures complete elimination not just surface cleaning.

5. Gentle Rinse

We finish with a gentle low pressure rinse to remove all loosened debris without damaging your roofing materials. Our techs inspect the entire roof to make sure it’s clean before we consider the job complete.
