    The city of New Westminster is home to some of the oldest communities, not only in British Columbia but in Canada. Homes and businesses might have been modernized or renovated over the years, but property owners still want to boast those historic charms. Owning an older property comes with its charms but it also comes with loads of extra work. Developing a maintenance program that works helps keep structures in good condition and our Gorillas can help do just that! A proper New Westminster roof cleaning and moss removal takes care of moss and algae, all while leave your home looking its best.

    Protecting Your Property

    For the most part, historic properties are identifiable by a simple plaque. These small additions might show off the age of your home, but you certainly don’t want its condition to be a giveaway. Invasive growth or damaged shingles mean damage to your roof, which comes along with costly repairs – sometimes even replacements. Maintaining the structural integrity of your property and getting the full life of your roofing is a top priority for homeowners in New Westminster – but this is a top to bottom job!

    The roof of your property demands a lot more attention and care than it probably gets. While roofing is made to withstand the elements, it is not as tough as you might think. Every day, homeowners take to amateur cleaning services to strip away clutter and stains. When it comes to your roof, shingles are one of the key elements of safety. Whether working with concrete or asphalt shingles, these additions protect sensitive areas like decking. This might seem like a good idea in the moment, but the wrong approach can leave lasting damage behind. When you want a clean roof, there is no one better to call than a Gorilla!

    New Westminster Roof Cleaning & Moss Removal: Efficient and Economical

    When you are resting after a long day, a roof is always working for you. Your roof is the first line of defence against the outside elements but without proper roof cleaning services, it can become more of a problem. Over time, your roof collects clutter – particularly in a plant-friendly community like New West. Large trees provide greenery and shade to homes and businesses in the area but they also shed organic debris. This cast-off clutters roof surfaces and can pave the way for moss growth. This growth softens important materials, which can then be broken off and pulled away.

    Instead of relying on a pressure washer to strip away unwanted buildup, professional roof cleaning companies use top tools, techniques and safety equipment to get the best results possible. By using eco-friendly cleaning products, our team of roof cleaning experts preserve not only your construction materials, but the surrounding environment as well. Clearing away clutter makes it possible to see clearly underneath. Once a Gorilla has an idea of your growth, they come up with a customized plan of attack.

    Our well-rounded removal services don’t just push roof clutter from one area to another, they bag it up and cart it away! Each Gorilla-grade service is fully-insured for personal and property protection while ‘before and after’ photos are used to show off results to our clients, who sit safely on the ground.

    Common questions

    Roof Cleaning — answered

    Can you clean pool enclosure roofs?

    Yes, and the constant chlorine and humidity around a pool shape how we approach the job. That damp environment encourages growth and affects both glass and plastic panels, so crews choose a technique matched to the material that cleans the enclosure without clouding or weakening it.

    Can you clean metal roofs?

    For New Westminster homes with metal roofs, soft washing handles surface contamination on steel, aluminum, and copper alike. Low-pressure chemistry clears algae and streaking from local panels without touching the paint or finish, so the roof looks clean and stays protected.

    Do you clean government building roofs?

    Yes. In New Westminster, we provide scheduled roof cleaning for government buildings, from schools to municipal offices. Work is coordinated with facility management and timed around occupancy, using low-pressure soft-wash to clear moss and algae without disrupting daily operations.

    What if my roof has a wood-burning fireplace chimney?

    A wood-burning chimney doesn’t complicate the moss and algae work, it just adds a timing rule. We need the firebox cold, ideally cooled 24 hours, before crews are on the roof. The brick and cap get cleaned around with care, not blasted.

    Can you clean roofs after wildfire smoke?

    Yes, wildfire smoke residue can be cleaned with specialty chemistry. Smoke and ash leave an oily film that ordinary rinsing will not lift, so we treat it with appropriate soft-wash solution. Pricing is quoted by the area affected and how heavy the residue is.

    Can you clean very dirty roofs?

    Even badly neglected roofs can usually be cleaned, but heavy soil changes the plan. Thick moss and years of black streaking sometimes need a second visit or specialty chemistry to break down fully. We confirm the approach at a walkthrough before quoting the work.

    Can roof cleaning restore an aged roof?

    Only up to a point. A good clean removes the black streaking and moss and stops further organic damage, which can make a tired roof look years younger. But it does not rebuild granule loss or undo material aging, so the roof is cleaner, not structurally renewed.

    How can I tell algae from moss?

    On New Westminster roofs, dark flat streaks running downward are algae, while raised textured green or brown patches are moss. Knowing which one you have matters, because each responds differently to soft-wash chemistry and dwell time during cleaning.

    Do you offer move-in roof cleaning?

    Move-in cleaning works either way, and the timing depends on access. Before move-in is easiest while the house is empty. After move-in is fine too. Either way, a new home’s roof history is usually a mystery, so a fresh clean resets the clock.
