    Nobody likes dealing in heights. Even if you are not afraid of reaching sky-high fixtures, every rung of the ladder means an increase in danger. Because of this, many property owners are quick to delay treating their roofing and perimeter drains. When you want the best for your home or workspace, our Barrie roof cleaning and moss removal gets the job done right!

    What Makes Roof Cleaning So Difficult?

    Depending on the age, type and size of your structures, you can expect different roofing materials. From asphalt shingles to concrete and metal roofing, our Gorillas know how to handle it all! Instead of just spraying and scrubbing, our team of experts use top of the line tools and techniques to avoid unnecessary damage.

    The elements can be rough and your roof takes the worst of it. Debris, moisture, pests and average wear and tear all leave their mark on fixtures. Using harsh treatments like pressure washers can soften decking, break shingles and pave the way for costly repairs and replacements.

    In the same way that a heavy hand means damage, a too-gentle approach doesn’t get results. Aiming a garden hose at debris might give it a slight push, but in the end, all it does is clog up gutters. Proper soft washing can help to remove clutter in all forms and removes invasive growth like moss.

    Finding a Cleaning Solution That Works

    Basic cleaning products may claim to get rid of most discolourations but the only thing that gets rid of invasive growth is experienced removal. At Gorilla, each cleaning service begins with a proper de-cluttering. Instead of pushing debris from one area to another, our experts bag up and remove items, giving a clear view of what is growing underneath.

    From here, surfaces are inspected and assessed in order to find the best course of action. Then, treatments can begin! Speciality tools and soft washers are combined in order to strip away moss growth without damaging construction materials underneath. When you want the best results for your home, commercial space or co-op property, call your local Gorilla for a free quote.

    Common questions

    Roof Cleaning — answered

    Will roof cleaning extend the life of my roof?

    Yes, because the damage moss does is cumulative. Its roots work under shingle edges and hold dampness against the surface, which leads to lifting, rot, and granule loss. Clearing it and preventing regrowth halts that process, so the roof reaches the lifespan it was built for.

    What's causing green stuff on my roof?

    That green stuff is living organic growth, not just dirt, which is why rinsing it with a hose never works. Identifying it as algae, moss, or lichen matters because each has different roots and needs the right soft-wash chemistry to fully kill.

    Should I replace my roof or clean it?

    In Barrie, the choice comes down to condition. Heavy granule loss, soft spots, or major damage mean replacement, since no cleaning revives failed material. If the shingles are still sound and the issue is growth or staining, cleaning is the smarter spend.

    Can you work in the afternoon?

    Yes, afternoon roof cleaning is fine, especially during cooler parts of the day. Direct hot sun makes the cleaning solution evaporate faster and work less effectively, so on warm days the crew adjusts timing or works shaded slopes to keep the chemistry doing its job.

    What are zinc strips?

    In Barrie, zinc strips are a common preventive measure: metal strips fitted at the roof ridge that release a little zinc whenever it rains. The runoff discourages moss and algae on the surface below, slowing regrowth between cleanings.

    Why does soft washing work better than pressure washing?

    It comes down to root versus surface. Pressure tears off what you can see but leaves the living organism behind to regrow, and it damages the roof doing so. Soft-wash chemistry kills the moss and algae outright, so the clean lasts and the roof stays safe.

    Why does roof cleaning cost what it does?

    Roof cleaning’s price reflects specialty equipment, professional-grade chemistry, fall protection, trained crews, and the time spent working safely on a residential roof. Quotes that come in well below market usually get there by skipping safety steps or substituting cheaper, less effective chemistry.

    Can you remove hail debris from my roof?

    Clearing hail debris is the visible part, but the granule loss it leaves behind matters more. Those granules protect the shingle from UV, so we note where they have been knocked away during cleanup as part of a post-storm assessment.

    Why do shaded sections of my roof have algae?

    Shaded roof sections grow algae for the same reason as north slopes: less sun means they hold moisture longer, and algae thrives on damp surfaces. Overhanging tree canopy is the main contributor, both casting shade and dropping organic debris that feeds growth.
