    The roof of your property does a lot for you. From keeping out leaves and debris to moisture prevention. It is important to return the favour! Our North Vancouver roof cleaning and moss removal makes it easier by taking care of your property for you.

    Rustic country homes are a dime a dozen in the greater Vancouver area. These normally come with a ton of trees and plant life but not all of this green is good. The climate and surroundings of your property, can have large impact on its overall condition. Our Gorillas want to help keep your property in peak condition for as long as possible. Our North Vancouver roof cleaning and moss removal can do just that!

    What Is Your Roof Telling You?

    Your roof can’t talk, but it certainly has a lot to say. The condition of your roof can drastically impact other areas of your home or business, so it is important to listen! Discolouration across the surface of your roof can mean many things and our Gorillas can read them all! Moss and algae are the most common sources of staining and damage. Dark discolouration on your roof’s surface is indicative of algae. Having algae means retained moisture and slippery surfaces, normally asphalt shingles. Where there is moss and algae, there is room for growth which leads to property damage!

    Why Choose Gorilla Property Services For Your North Vancouver Roof Cleaning?

    When it comes to taking care of your home or business, you want the best. Gorilla Property Services has been servicing the North Vancouver area for decades. All of our technicians are local to your area, so we know exactly what your property needs. All around the North Vancouver area, homes and businesses can be seen with thick layers of moss growing along roof lines. Now, this might give off a “cozy cottage” feeling, but it is bad news! Moss spreads across surfaces and under materials, pulling shingles away from roof decking and leading to large scale repairs. It is no secret that moss must be removed but getting the job done requires a particular set of skills. The wrong tools or techniques can still remove moss but can also damage roofing materials in the process, but you don’t need to worry with Gorilla Property Services. After decades in the field. Gorilla technicians know how to treat your moss removal at any stage and on any surface.

    Common questions

    Roof Cleaning — answered

    Do you use surfactants?

    Yes. On North Vancouver roof jobs, surfactants are part of our standard chemistry. They help the solution cling to sloped surfaces and penetrate moss and algae at the root, so the soft-wash treatment cleans thoroughly without high pressure.

    What should I do after roof cleaning?

    The main thing is to leave it alone. The most common mistake is rinsing or pressure-washing the roof afterward, which interrupts the chemistry before it finishes. Give it one to two weeks, let light rain do the rinsing, and the results keep improving.

    How often do roofs in damp climates need cleaning?

    In North Vancouver, a damp climate means roofs often need cleaning every 2 to 4 years. The frequent moisture keeps surfaces wet long enough for algae and moss to thrive, so growth returns faster here than in drier regions.

    How many crew members come?

    A typical residential roof cleaning is handled by two technicians, which is enough to manage the chemistry, hoses, and ground rinsing safely. Larger homes and commercial properties usually get a crew of three to four, sized to the roof area and access.

    What kinds of damage do you typically find?

    Most of what we find traces back to two causes: age and moisture. Aging shows up as granule loss and brittle shingles, while trapped moisture from moss creates soft spots and wood rot. Storms add lifted shingles and separated flashing. Each one we document for you.

    How long does the chemistry sit on the roof?

    Dwell time is where the real cleaning happens. Rushing the rinse leaves living roots behind that regrow within months. Allowing 10 to 30 minutes, adjusted for how thick the growth is, lets the chemistry reach down into the roots so the kill is complete.

    Can you clean my roof if my pets are outside?

    For North Vancouver customers, we ask that pets stay indoors during roof cleaning. Soft-wash chemistry and its runoff aren’t meant for direct contact, so keeping animals inside until the roof is rinsed and the yard dries is the safe routine.

    Will the moss just grow back?

    Only slowly. Full root-kill from soft washing prevents the quick regrowth you see after pressure washing alone. Heavy-canopy or chronically damp roofs may need another treatment every 2 to 3 years, while open, sun-exposed roofs can go 4 to 5 years between cleanings.

    Can you clean greenhouse roofs?

    Yes, but greenhouses are the one roof where we deliberately use no detergent at all. Because chemical residue could harm the plants and disrupt growing conditions, crews clean the glass with pure water only. It is specialty work that prioritizes the environment under the roof.
