Strata Roof Cleaning Service Victoria
Victoria's Professional Strata Gutter Roof Service
Protecting Victoria's Strata Properties
We’ve worked with strata councils across Greater Victoria for years. We know how hard it can be to organize roof maintenance for multi-unit buildings. Between budget approvals, talking with residents, and finding good contractors, roof cleaning often gets pushed back until moss becomes a big problem.
Why Victoria's Climate Creates Moss Problems
Victoria’s eight-month rainy season is perfect for moss, lichen, and algae growth on strata roofs. When you don’t treat these growths, they hold water against your shingles. This damages roof materials and leads to expensive repairs that every unit owner has to pay for.
Our Strata Roof Cleaning Approach
At Shine Pros, we understand what strata properties need throughout Victoria. From Oak Bay to Langford, we see the same challenges. Our strata roof cleaning service uses a gentle method that removes moss without damaging shingles or bothering residents. We work closely with property managers and strata councils to make sure everyone knows what’s happening.
We take care with every strata roof cleaning project. Our team gently brushes away most of the moss by hand. Then we apply a professional treatment that kills what’s left and stops future growth. Every strata roof cleaning includes gutter cleaning to protect your drainage systems. We back our work with a two-year moss-free guarantee. This gives councils and owners confidence in their investment.
Why Strata Roofs Need Regular Cleaning in Victoria
Strata properties face special roofing problems in our coastal climate. Moss doesn’t just look bad. It actually damages shingles by lifting edges, trapping water, and making wear happen faster. For multi-unit buildings, this means shared repair costs that can reach tens of thousands of dollars when ignored.
We see what Victoria’s weather does to strata roofs throughout Saanich, Esquimalt, and James Bay. Rain, humidity, and tree coverage create conditions where moss can double in size in just one season. Regular roof cleaning protects your building and helps you avoid emergency repairs that hurt strata budgets.
Common problems we see on Victoria strata roofs:
- Moss buildup from our long rainy season (October through May)
- Lichen growth on north-facing roof sections
- Algae stains on shaded areas under trees
- Clogged gutters full of leaves and debris
- Water damage from blocked drainage systems
- Shortened roof life from moisture trapped under moss
Our Strata Roof Cleaning Process
Safe Moss Removal
We use a gentle hand-brushing method to remove 80-90% of moss from your strata roof. This careful approach protects your shingles while clearing away growth. Our team follows strict safety rules, uses proper equipment, and works carefully across your entire roof to make sure we cover everything.
Professional Treatment Application
After removing the moss you can see, we apply a professional treatment that kills remaining moss, lichen, algae, and spores. This treatment keeps working for months after we apply it. It stops regrowth and keeps your roof clean. We use products that work well in Victoria’s wet climate.
Complete Debris Cleanup
Moss removal creates a lot of debris. We take cleanup seriously. We clear all moss and organic material from your roof, gutters, and ground areas around your building. We bag debris properly and take it away from your property. Your strata grounds stay clean and tidy.
Gutter Cleaning and Water Testing
Every strata roof cleaning includes complete gutter cleaning. We remove debris from all gutter systems and flush downspouts with water to check for blockages. We look at gutter pitch to make sure water drains properly. This full approach protects your building from water damage and makes your drainage systems last longer.
Working With Strata Councils and Property Managers
We understand that strata properties need different handling than single-family homes. Here’s how we make the process easy:
For Strata Councils:
- Detailed written quotes for budget planning
- Clear breakdown of all costs
- Timeline estimates for council meetings
- Documentation for strata records
For Property Managers:
- Flexible scheduling around resident needs
- Direct communication about work progress
- Coordination with on-site staff
- Post-service reports
For Residents:
- Advance notice about work dates
- Minimal disruption to daily routines
- Professional, courteous service
- Thorough cleanup when work is done

How Moss Damages Your Strata Roof Over Time

| 1-2 years | Moss spreads across sections | Moderate shingle lifting | Medium |

TESTIMONIALS
See What Your Neighbours Have to Say
Alexander was fantastic. He came back unannounced the following year after treating our roof for moss, and noticed there were still a few spots that weren't quite 100%. He asked to schedule a time to fix it for no charge. Great service and they stand behind their guarantee.
Alex is very professional in his work. I got the gutters cleaned from Shine Pros. Alex actually went one step extra to clean leaves from the roof also. He showed before and after pictures and it was really good work done by him. His prices are I think best in the city. I am using his services next year also.
