    When you are a homeowner, the roof of your property should be your star defensive player. Your roof not only protects you from the elements but keeps the elements outside. North Bay roof cleaning and moss removal is a necessary service in order to make sure it gets to stay in the game.

    Throughout the year, your roof is subjected to weather-beating, animal traffic, organic debris from surrounding trees and plant life. These will collect and can cause damage over time. Leaves, sticks, needles and other plant carry-over retain moisture from the air, rain fall and even decomposition of larger pieces of debris. Moss will begin to grow in the moisture and the presence of other debris will help it thrive, moving over and under the shingles on your home.

    Over time the retained moisture can damage the structural integrity of your roof, rotting out the area underneath shingles and even creating entry points into your home through the roof.

    North Bay Roof Cleaning and Moss Removal: Prevention, Not Panic

    Developing a routine with your home maintenance can prevent large-scale issues down the road. Once the roof has lost structural integrity, there is nothing left to do but replace it, a service that costs thousands of dollars. The issue of infestation can also arise when insects or animals gain access to your home or business via the roof. This is a whole new ballgame.

    Prevention techniques with North Bay roof cleaning and moss removal can extend the life of your roof and when combined with North Bay gutter cleaning, remove any pests that have taken up house on top of yours.

    We understand than the prospect of getting up onto a roof is scary for most Canadians, but the fear of heights is not the only hazard when performing moss removal. It seems easy enough to scrape moss off of a surface but when performed incorrectly, your roof can suffer a great deal of damage. Our Gorillas are not afraid of heights, all of our technicians undergo rigorous safety training before being allowed out into the field. We will navigate the surface of your roof with our top of the line tools, giving you the best possible outcome for your roof.

    Common questions

    Roof Cleaning — answered

    How do you handle slate or cedar roofs?

    Slate cannot be walked on; crews work from edge platforms and ladders only. Cedar needs gentle bleach-based cleaning and oil treatment to prevent drying and cracking. Both require specialty crews. Standard asphalt-roof crews are not qualified for either.

    Can I clean the roof myself?

    Strongly not recommended. The combination of roof slope, height, and shingle grit makes ladder-to-roof work among the highest-injury home maintenance tasks. Manual scrubbing of asphalt shingles dislodges granules even at light pressure. Professional soft-wash is also more effective than retail chemistry.

    How much should I expect to pay for roof cleaning near me?

    Pricing scales with square footage, pitch, complexity, and access. Single-storey simple gables are at the lower end; multi-storey with multiple peaks and complex valleys is several times higher. Slate or cedar requires specialty pricing. Site quote beats a flat rate.

    Best time of year for roof cleaning?

    Late May through September. Surface temperatures need to be above 5°C for cleaning chemistry to work. Frozen shingles are also more brittle. Peak window is late June through August.

    What about skylights and solar panels?

    Skylights — soft-wash chemistry is safe on modern double-pane glass but rinse must be gentle. Older acrylic domes (15+ years) can cloud under chemical exposure. Solar panels are typically cleaned with deionized water and microfibre rather than shingle chemistry. Confirm both during the quote.

    Will roof cleaning void my shingle warranty?

    Only if done wrong. Pressure washing voids the warranty for every major manufacturer; documented soft-wash with appropriate chemistry generally does not. CertainTeed and GAF explicitly accept soft-wash. Ask for a written description of method and chemistry — that documentation protects you in any future warranty claim.

    Do roofs here actually need cleaning?

    For most North Bay properties yes, every two to three years. Even in continental climates the algae species that streak shingles (gloeocapsa magma) accumulates over time. Cleaning is partly cosmetic and largely about shingle longevity.

    Will pressure washing damage my asphalt shingles?

    Yes, almost always. Direct high-pressure spray strips granules, voids manufacturer warranty for every major brand (CertainTeed, GAF, IKO, Owens Corning all exclude pressure-washed shingles), and shortens roof life by years. Soft-wash is the only safe method — chemistry-based, low pressure.

    What does a Gorilla roof cleaning include?

    Roof assessment from ladder and edge platforms (no foot traffic on the slope unless required), landscape protection at the eaves, soft-wash chemistry application with low-pressure rinse, manual debris removal where needed, and post-clean visual inspection for damage worth flagging.

    What is the black streaking on my roof?

    Gloeocapsa magma, a wind-spread algae species that streaks asphalt shingles dark grey or black. It is most visible on north-facing slopes. The algae holds moisture against the shingle which accelerates granule loss — visible streaks usually mean 3-5 years of shingle life lost if left untreated.
