Roof Cleaning & Moss Removal
Protect your biggest investment. Manual moss removal and treatment to stop regrowth and extend your roof's life.
Why It Matters
Moss Is More Than an Eyesore
In Vancouver's wet climate, moss and algae growth on roofs is almost inevitable. Left untreated, moss roots work their way under shingles, lifting them and allowing moisture to penetrate the roof deck. Over time, this leads to rot, structural damage, and premature roof failure.
The good news is that regular moss treatment is one of the most cost-effective forms of home maintenance you can invest in. A clean roof lasts significantly longer, and routine treatment costs a fraction of what even minor roof repairs run.
Holland Home Services has been treating Vancouver roofs since 1960. We use a manual removal process combined with a professional treatment solution that stops regrowth at the source — safe for your roof, safe for your garden, and long-lasting.
Treatment vs. Replacement
Roof replacement in Greater Vancouver typically costs $10,000–$25,000 or more. Regular moss treatment can add 5–10 years to your roof's life at a tiny fraction of that cost.
We recommend moss treatment every 1–2 years depending on your tree cover and roof type.
Our Roof Cleaning Process
Inspection
We assess roof condition, material type, and extent of moss growth before any work begins.
Debris Removal
Loose debris, leaves, and built-up organic matter are removed by hand and cleared from valleys and gutters.
Moss Removal
Moss is carefully removed manually — no high-pressure washing that could damage shingles or drive water underneath.
Treatment
A professional treatment solution is applied to kill remaining spores and prevent regrowth for 1–2 years.
Roof Types We Treat
Asphalt Shingles
The most common roof type in Vancouver. We use gentle manual methods to protect the granule surface.
Wood Shake
Shake roofs need careful treatment — we avoid high pressure and use solutions formulated for natural wood.
Tile & Metal
We adjust our approach based on material. No one-size-fits-all treatment — every roof gets assessed first.
