Just because roof clutter is hard to reach does not mean that it gets a free pass! If you can’t handle heights physically or mentally, have a Gorilla handle them for you. Pass the buck on your Wood Buffalo roof cleaning and moss removal, and get the job done without lifting a finger.

    What Is Cluttering Your Roof

    The most common types of clutter across your roof come in the form of organic debris. Leaves, sticks, seed pods and needles are known to form a layer of unwanted items over roofs in the Wood Buffalo community. This type of clutter obviously does not look great but it can mean a lot more than just a bad impression. This type of debris holds on to moisture and can allow invasive plant growth to take root. Depending on the type of roofing that you have, this can mean algae or moss growth. Both of these growths create slippery surfaces and are threats to the structural integrity of your roof. As moss begins to spread, it weaves itself underneath shingles and rests against sensitive areas of your roof. Over time, this close association can lead to softening of materials, water damage, leaks and require costly repairs. Instead of inviting problems in, keep them out with a little help from our Gorillas. Our Wood Buffalo roof cleaning and moss removal can help you get the most out of your roof.

    Common questions

    Roof Cleaning — answered

    Can you clean my roof if my pets are outside?

    For Wood Buffalo 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.

    What are zinc strips?

    Zinc strips are thin metal strips installed along the roof ridge. When rain runs over them, they release tiny amounts of zinc that wash down the slope below. Those trace metals make the surface inhospitable to algae and moss, slowing growth on the area the runoff reaches.

    What's different about flat roof cleaning?

    On flat roofs, debris accumulation matters more than algae, because anything that collects on the surface traps water and causes pooling. So the primary focus shifts to clearing debris off the membrane and keeping drains and scuppers open, rather than treating organic staining.

    Can you clean rooftop HVAC units?

    For Wood Buffalo commercial buildings, rooftop HVAC exterior cleaning is offered. Our crews wash the cabinet housing and clear debris around each unit during roof work. Internal HVAC service is a separate trade, so this covers the exterior only.

    What signs warn me to clean my roof?

    Not all stains are the same. Black streaks are usually algae, which is mostly cosmetic. Green fuzz and raised tufts are moss, which holds moisture and lifts shingles. Crusty grey or orange spots are lichen, the most stubborn. Any of them signals it is time.

    Can you clean asphalt shingle roofs?

    Yes, asphalt shingle roofs are the most common type we clean and our standard soft-wash work. Most algae and moss problems show up on asphalt, and low-pressure chemistry clears them without disturbing the granules or shortening the shingle’s life.

    Will my roof look brand new after cleaning?

    Cleaning restores appearance, it does not reverse age. Worn granules, weathering, and physical wear stay as they are. What disappears is the organic growth: the dark streaks, moss, and lichen. Most homeowners are surprised how much the original colour comes back.

    How early in the morning will the crew arrive?

    Most residential starts land in the 8 to 9am window, and there is a reason beyond convenience: cooler morning air helps the cleaning chemistry sit and work before sun-driven evaporation. Commercial sites can begin earlier so operations stay undisturbed during business hours.

    Is there a market value difference between cleaned and uncleaned roofs?

    For Wood Buffalo home showings, a clean roof signals overall property condition and can make a real difference. Buyers notice stained or mossy shingles immediately, often reading them as neglect and pushing for inspections or lower offers. Cleaning removes that hesitation.
