Description of Work: We had sections of our gutters where water overflowed and leaked. We thought maybe the gutters were clogged or sagging, so we asked to have them thoroughly cleaned out, checked to be sure they were properly hung and corrected. This company offered to perform this service and also offered a "gutter brightening" to clean the gutters' exterior for an additional fee. We figured, sure...clean the dirt, etc from the outside of the gutters while you are cleaning the inside as well. We were assured that it was a nonabrasive, "gentle" process by which they are brightened. We were told the crew would be at our house "in about a week and a half" to complete the work. After 2 weeks of not hearing anything, I called to make sure we were still on their schedule. I was then told it would be about another week because they were behind schedule (we had gotten some rain, but it would have been nice to receive a call). Then on the day they were to show up and do the work, they showed up well past the time we were told, again without a phone call. My wife had to leave the house while they were doing the work and returned to find the guys with cans of spray paint, touching up sections of the gutter that had been stripped of paint from the brightening. In addition to removing paint from the gutters, their cleaning chemicals somehow got into our hummingbird feeder and our daughter's climbing plant was ripped down from the pole it had been growing on. I reported all this to Brett and he was very apologetic and genuinely felt bad for our daughter's plant. He offered to not charge us for any of the work performed. I thought that was very professional and the right thing to do. It left a not-so-bad taste in my mouth from this experience. But then, it rained. The original leaks, along with some new ones, are back and worse than ever. If the original problem had been corrected, I would be satisfied. But now I have more leaks than before they came, which is going to cost me more money to get corrected now.

I did call to tell you when the guys would be there. In this business it is difficult to be exactly on time. As to the issue with your gutters, I took full responsibility for the poor job my guys did. I was there to address the problem quickly. I offered to fix anything but you told me the gutter in the back looked ok. When I told you I wouldn't charge you, originally you thought it was for gutter brightening. You asked if I would send an invoice, I told you that you owe nothing. You were delighted with that. We were not there to fix any leaks. The proposal does not say fix leaks as you never stated "leaking gutters". This is the first time I have heard about leaking gutters. The scope of work was to clean off the gutter covers and gutter brightening. If I had known there was a problem, I would have come out personally to fix the issue myself. I did not get a call about this issue. As anyone can see from our other reviews, I will do whatever it takes to make it right. I truly believe an "F" is way worse than the rating should should be. I have fixed the problem that caused this job to go so poorly. How can this cost more money when I did not charge one dollar?

Brett responded to my inquiry right away. Explained all the do and don't when it comes to getting your roof pressure washed. Weather was a factor when it came to when he could do the job and he worked around that by keeping in touch with me . He made sure the weather and my schedule worked for the job. I was very pleased with the results. I also had a unusual gutter problem and he went out of his way to custom make a part for me. I would highly recommend him to any of my friends. And would not hesitate to use him again. He also was right in line with the quotes I received from other competitors.

Thank you [member name removed] for this review but I need to emphasis that we do not pressure wash roofs. It is a low pressure treatment of about 80 psi.

We were pleased from beginning to end. In fact, my wife was so delighted by how nice our place looked that she made lunch for Brett and Brandon while they finished the job next door. And she rarely makes lunch even for me.
Description of Work: Black mold and mildew streaks on several neighborhood roofs (including ours) prompted me and a neighbor to look into the problem in search of the best answer. A great many power-washing firms were willing to undertake the job using a range of chemicals applied under a range of water pressures, but with the assistance of glowing reviews on Angie's List as well as the technical recommendations of the Asphalt Roofing Manufacturer's Association we selected the "soft" cleaning approach used by Brett Thompson's firm: Blue Ridge Roof Cleaning of Virginia in Waynesboro. We could not have been more pleased with our choice. Brett and Brandon were extremely careful, very considerate of protecting the landscape plantings, and without charge did any number of little "extras", like caulking a leaky gutter corner while they were up on the ladder, ensuring that the windows were left clean, and even washing mold and mildew from a stone wall. It's difficult to describe in words just how fresh and new the house looks now, but I would urge any prospective customer to trust the "before" and "after" photos that Brett has posted in his website. There really can be that much difference! An interesting consideration: In our cases, Brett was able to give us firm, accurate bids without a preliminary visit by using county tax maps and their aerial photography of our roofs. And something else to consider: doing the job jointly with a neighbor who has similar roof problems might earn you both a bit of a pricing discount because of saved trips to the site.

It was a pleasure working this customer and his neighbor helping them rid their homes of algae, lichen and moss. We also did a gutter brightening for them so all the black streaks are gone. It is always nice to see reviews like this because we always strive to treat our customers as if we were working on our own homes.

Blue Ridge applied a strong mixture of bleach and water to my roof which immediately killed the fungus and growth on my roof. My roof is a complex roof with numerous areas and pitches. Blue Ridge did not rinse the roof but rahter relies on future rains to remove some of the remaining residue from the cleaning. The roof appearance after the treatment was very good, and after the first rain the roof looks like new. Brett from Blue Ridge was very porfessional and explained the entire process in detail, and was very patient with my concerns.
Description of Work: Blue Ridge Roof Cleaning cleaned my badly stained roof. My roof was stained from the trees in my yard and even had moss growing in some areas. These stains detracted from the appearance of my home, and also concerned me about possibly shortening the life of my 40 year shingles. There appears to be some difference in opinions on the impact of these growths from trees on the life of your shingles.

We were glad to be able to help this member with his roof and concerns. We strive to work with each customer, helping them to save thousands of dollars keeping the roof they have that is in good condition and doesn't need replacing due to algae ("black stains"), lichen & moss. Our mixture is a little different than described here as it is a mixture of commercial grade Sodium Hypochlorite (what is found in drinking water & pools) detergents and water. We coat the entire roof with a our custom low pressure system and go to the extreme to protect all vegetation. We never use a pressure washer on a roof! He was a pleasure to work with. We will always take time to answer any questions or concerns anyone has about our process that is the only process recommended by roof manufactures and the Asphalt Roof Manufactures Association.

I called Brett for a quote on power washing our siding. He was able to pull a picture of my home up online and immediately give me a quote. Not only did he do that, he also noticed that our roof was in need of cleaning. We had been told that we would need to replace the roof (approximate cost $8,000). He informed us that we could clean the roof and likely get an additional 5-10 years out of our current one. He also provided lots of information on this process to insure I was comfortable with this process. He was in constant communication with me on scheduling and showed up when expected. He and his guys did excellent work cleaning our roof and house. The shingles he replaced look great (he even went out and found ones that matched as closely as possible - calling me while he was in the store to see if I wanted a little darker or a little lighter). They finished in less than a day and even threw in covering a vent that wasn't right. All in all we were very pleased with their work and the price we received. We definitely plan to bring them back to do our vinyl fence and back porch. Great company to work with!

Thank you for letting us help you with the exterior maintenance of your home. With the cost of shingles rising, our goal was to save the roof that is there with minor repairs and cleaning which will give you a few more years before you have to replace it.

I was so confused when I searched the internet about roof cleaning processes. There were so many "natural" and "earth friendly" products available. You can imagine that I was shocked when I spoke with Brett and he used concentrated bleach; 12% sodium hypochlorite. He does not use TSP, however, but a more friendly surfactant. He explained that bleach was the only product recommended by the I realized that the difference between Brett and other vendors was that they were selling various products. Brett sells a service. He sent me the following link from the Asphalt Roofing Manufacturers Association http://www.asphaltroofing.org/pdf/tb_217.pdf wherein ARMA recommends the use of bleach for cleaning roofs. The process was very straightforward and the roof work was done in about 6-8 hours. They put bags on each of the leaders to catch the solution coming off the roof and removed them once they were finished. They also sprayed water around the house to ensure that no plants were damaged. We then waited for the rains to finish cleaning the roof, however, the results were clearly evident right after the cleaning. The roof "popped" in color and all of the black streaks were gone. I highly recommend Brett and his crew! Paul

Brett answered my call quickly and arranged to come within days. He called when they couldn't come due to weather. While there, they were pleasant and professional. Brett and John cleaned up everything, including collecting the wash solution in bags and carting that away as well. The roof looks great!
