    Brands the Gorilla Property Services network has worked with across Canada and the U.S.

    Whether you live in it, work in it, or rent it out, every property is an investment. Proper maintenance is key to keeping structures in great shape, but it is tough to keep an eye on heights. Roof care is difficult at the best of times, but when fall and winter roll around, it is even harder. Calling a Gorilla for your Aurora roof cleaning and moss removal means great results, with none of the risk. Let our Gorillas swing into action while you are safe on the ground.

    Failing to keep up with the needs of roofing materials means more than an unsightly appearance. In addition to boosting your curb appeal, getting rid of clutter, as well as moss from the roof can protect your materials, reducing the need for repairs or replacements. Don’t let moss and algae ruin the look and condition of your home or commercial property, when you can call in a Gorilla instead.

    Expert Roof Cleaning Services: What to Expect

    An amateur approach to roof moss removal and cleaning leads to widespread damage. Avoid DIY disaster by having a specialist handle your residential roofs and commercial properties. Instead of flooding your materials with gallons of water unnecessarily, scraping away decking or damaging roof shingles with chlorine bleach, enlist an expert.

    As a property owner, you would call a roofing company for installation, so why not call a professional for your maintenance needs? A trained eye can spot moss growth before it becomes a widespread issue. As seasons change, the elements can leave a distinct mark on properties throughout the area. High winds mean organic cast-off that just sits on rooftops. Combine this clutter with rain and you have got a recipe for invasive growth. Algae, moss, mold and even rot are all possible without regular cleaning.

    When moss has taken hold of your roofing, there is always more than meets the eye. Moss can spread anywhere that there is dampness. If moss has begun to weave under asphalt shingles, it will soften the decking underneath. When materials are softened, using a wire brush or pressure washer to blast away stains and growth is likely to cut through important materials, letting water inside. When you want an in-depth cleaning solution that lasts, call an expert.

    After years in the industry, our team of experts are able to treat materials of all types, from concrete to asphalt shingle roofs, and everything in-between.

    Common questions

    Roof Cleaning — answered

    How do I know if my roof actually needs cleaning?

    Visible moss, lichen, dark streaks running down shingles, or organic debris build-up in valleys are the obvious signs. Aurora’s climate (lake-effect winter precipitation and significant freeze-thaw cycling) compounds this — north-facing slopes under maple, oak, and mature urban deciduous canopy canopy show growth first. A roof inspection during a gutter visit catches it early.

    What's the eco-friendly solution actually doing?

    It’s a low-concentration sodium hypochlorite or biodegradable surfactant blend that kills moss, lichen, and algae spores in the substrate without damaging shingles. Crews pre-rinse surrounding landscaping and post-rinse runoff areas — the solution dilutes to safe levels in rinse water and breaks down within days.

    How often should the service repeat here?

    Every 3–5 years for most central Ontario properties — more often for homes with heavy maple or oak canopy directly overhanging the roof.

    When is the best time of year to schedule?

    Late spring through early fall is ideal — solution dwells properly and rinses fully when temperatures stay above 10°C and rain isn’t actively falling. May, June, and September are peak booking months. Avoid mid-summer extreme heat when chemistry doesn’t work optimally.

    Should I bundle with gutter cleaning?

    Strongly recommended — roof debris loosened during cleaning ends up in the gutters, so gutter clearing the same day captures everything and saves a second visit. Most franchises offer a bundle discount for same-day roof + gutter service.

    What about heritage homes with original roofing materials?

    Aurora’s heritage stock includes original cedar shake, slate, and clay-tile roofs (especially in the downtown core and similar character areas). Each material needs specialty technique — heritage cleaning is quoted property-by-property after a careful walkthrough. We don’t use the same approach on a 1910 cedar shake as we do on a 2010 asphalt roof.

    What's the difference between moss removal and full roof cleaning?

    Moss removal targets visible growth — manual brushing of patches, then a kill-and-prevent solution. Full roof cleaning addresses both moss and the underlying organic film (algae, lichen) that causes dark streaking. In Aurora, where lake-effect winter precipitation and significant freeze-thaw cycling keeps regrowth aggressive, full cleaning is the better long-term value for properties with chronic moss.

    How is the service priced?

    Aurora roof cleaning pricing scales with square footage, pitch (steeper = more setup), growth severity, and substrate type. Asphalt shingle on a single-storey detached home falls in a clear range; multi-storey, complex roof geometry, or specialty materials cost more. Quote provided after on-site walkthrough.

    Are crews insured and trained for height work?

    Yes — liability and WCB certificates available on request. Roof work is high-risk by definition; crews are trained in fall-arrest, ladder safety, and the specific chemistry/PSI calibrations that protect the substrate. Anyone working on your roof should be able to produce certificates same-day.
