Roof cleaning and moss removal in West Vancouver
We remove it by hand and with low-pressure methods matched to the roofing material. On asphalt shingles, a moss treatment is always included to slow regrowth. Cedar shake, tile and metal roofs each get their own method.
About our roof cleaning service
- Manual removal of moss and loose debris from the roof surface, ridges and valleys.
- Low-pressure rinsing or soft washing where the roofing material allows it.
- Clearing roof debris that falls into the gutters during the job, so the work doesn't leave your gutters worse off.
- On asphalt shingle roofs, a moss treatment is always included after cleaning to slow regrowth. It works gradually over the following weeks of rain and needs repeating over time. Cedar shake, metal and concrete tile roofs get a method suited to their material.
A variety of roof types
West Vancouver homes have asphalt shingle, cedar shake, concrete tile, slate-style and metal roofs. Tile and slate-style roofs need careful footing, and cedar needs gentle cleaning without high pressure.
If a roof is too fragile or steep to walk on safely, we'll say so rather than risk damaging it.
Combining roof and gutter work
Moss removed from the roof ends up in the gutters, so it makes sense to book a gutter clean at the same visit.
Don't leave moss for another wet season. The longer it stays, the more it lifts shingles, holds water against the roof and clogs gutters and downspouts, all of which shorten a roof's life.

FAQ
Roof cleaning in West Vancouver: questions
Can you clean a concrete tile roof?
Yes, with care. Tiles can crack under foot, so we plan our footing and use low pressure. We'll tell you if any tiles look damaged.
Do you pressure wash roofs?
Not asphalt or cedar roofs. High pressure can strip shingle granules or damage wood. We remove moss by hand and use low-pressure or soft-wash methods suited to the material.
Will the moss come back?
Moss can return, especially on shaded roofs near trees. An optional treatment after cleaning slows regrowth, and periodic maintenance keeps it under control.
