With our expert roof cleaning, you can maintain your home’s curb appeal and structural integrity while avoiding long-term maintenance issues. We are proud to be one of the most trusted names for roof cleaning services in Metro Vancouver and surrounding communities.

Why Roof Cleaning Matters

Cleaning your roof is more than just an aesthetic improvement—it’s a necessary maintenance task that preserves your home’s value. A neglected roof can accumulate organic growth and moisture that weaken the materials underneath. Here’s why routine roof cleaning services in the Lower Mainland are essential:

• Prevents Moss and Algae Growth: Damp climates like Metro Vancouver foster moss, algae, and lichen, which can degrade shingles and trap moisture.
  
• Improves Energy Efficiency: Clean roofs reflect sunlight more effectively, reducing cooling costs.
  
• Extends Roof Lifespan: Removing contaminants prevents premature wear and tear on roofing materials.
  
• Boosts Curb Appeal: A clean roof adds immediate value and a fresh appearance to your home or business.
  

Our process uses soft-washing techniques that clean effectively without damaging the roofing surface, making it ideal for asphalt, cedar, tile, or metal roofs.

Roof Cleaning Services in Metro Vancouver – What We Offer

We provide a full suite of roof cleaning services in Metro Vancouver, tailored to meet the needs of both residential and commercial properties. Our professional services include:

Moss and Algae Removal

Moss and algae thrive in shaded, moist environments, particularly on the north-facing sections of rooftops. If left untreated, they can lift shingles, trap moisture, and promote rot. We remove these harmful growths using:

• Soft brushing to loosen moss
  
• Biodegradable cleaning agents
  
• Low-pressure water rinsing
  

Gutter and Roof Edge Cleaning

Gutters and roof edges are prone to clogging with leaves, pine needles, and shingle granules. We clean all debris from these areas to ensure proper water drainage and prevent overflow or leaks.

Soft Wash Roof Cleaning

Our soft wash system is safe for all roof types. Unlike high-pressure power washing, soft washing gently dissolves dirt, algae, and buildup without harming the roofing material or voiding manufacturer warranties.
