    Although it is an important piece of your property, your roof is often overlooked – or more appropriately, under-looked. It is not common for property owners to spend a lot of time craning their necks to see the higher levels of their space. Just because you haven’t noticed it, doesn’t mean that others haven’t! The roofs of most properties are visible from street level and a cluttered roof does not exactly say curb appeal! When you want your property looking great again, call a Gorilla for your Olds roof cleaning and moss removal.

    More Than Just Looks

    Having clutter along the surface of your roof might not look great but it does more than that! If roof clutter is allowed to sit on your roof for long periods, it can affect the structural integrity of your roof as a whole. This clutter is ordinarily made up of organic debris like fallen or shaken leaves, sticks, seedpods, pinecones, needles, branches and everything in between. All of these materials hold on to moisture and this consistent dampness paves the way for unwanted plant growth. Every once in a while, you might catch a glimpse of a small tree growing skyward from a rooftop but moss is harder to catch and even more dangerous. By making your Olds roof cleaning and moss removal a part of your regular maintenance routine – you never have to worry about being overrun with moss!

    Olds Roof Cleaning & Moss Removal : Getting Results

    In order to manage your roof properly, our Gorillas suggest a twice-annual Olds roof cleaning and moss removal. Removing clutter might make the biggest visual impact on your property, but it is only the first step to a happy and healthy property. The surface layer of debris is always removed responsibly. This means that instead of pushing debris from one area to another, our Gorillas actually take it away. If you are curious as to just how much clutter is up on your roof, you won’t have to wonder for long! Each one of our Gorillas is outfitted with a smartphone, so our clients are kept in the loop with β€˜before and after’ photos. These photos will also show any moss growth that might be spreading along your roof. If moss is present, our Gorillas will set to work carefully removing these aggressive plants.

    Common questions

    Roof Cleaning — answered

    Do you handle low-slope commercial?

    Yes, we clean low-slope and tilt-up commercial buildings. Roofs with minimal pitch tend to hold water and debris rather than shedding it, so we use a specialty technique that works with the limited drainage and removes standing soil without forcing water where it cannot run off.

    Do you use foam or gel cleaners?

    Sometimes. For vertical surfaces, steep sections, or hard-to-reach areas, we use foam or gel cleaners. Their thicker consistency clings where liquid would run off, and gel chemistry in particular has a longer dwell time, giving it more contact to break down stubborn moss and algae.

    Can you clean roofs with tree debris?

    Yes, branches, leaves, and twigs are cleared as part of roof cleaning, since loose debris has to come off before any soft washing begins. Unusually heavy buildup, such as a roof under dense canopy with deep matted debris, may be a separate quote.

    Can you clean my roof if my driveway is being repaved?

    It can be done, with timing as the main consideration. We need clear access for the roof and want rinse runoff kept off freshly laid pavement, so the visit is often slotted before the paving starts or after it has cured. Coordinating both avoids conflicts.

    Can I clean my roof myself?

    For Olds homeowners, we strongly discourage DIY roof cleaning. Wet roofs are slippery, the chemistry needs careful handling, and wrong technique damages shingles. The fall risk alone makes it a job worth leaving to a crew with proper equipment and training.

    How do I know if my roof is too old to clean?

    For Olds homeowners, the clearest signs a roof is too old to clean are heavy granule loss, multiple bald patches, soft spots underfoot, and missing shingles. When several appear together, an inspector assessment tells you whether cleaning still helps.

    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.

    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.

    Should I clean the roof of an inherited property?

    In Olds, inherited properties often come with a roof that has gone years without attention. A soft wash starts it fresh and clears away moss and debris, revealing the roof’s true condition before you decide what to do with the home.
