Roof Cleaning That Protects Your Home
Last fall, we cleaned a roof in Oak Bay that hadn’t been touched in over five years. The moss was so thick you could barely see the shingles. The homeowner was worried someone would damage her old roof while cleaning it. That’s exactly why we clean roofs the way we do.
Why Victoria Roofs Get So Much Moss
Victoria BC has the perfect climate for moss. Our wet winters and mild weather help moss, lichen, and algae grow on roofs across Saanich, Esquimalt, James Bay, and beyond. When moss isn’t removed, it does more than look bad. It holds water against your shingles, lifts the edges, and makes your roof wear out faster. That’s why roof cleaning service is so important for Victoria homeowners.
How We Clean Roofs Safely
Our roof cleaning service follows one simple rule: protect the roof while removing the moss. We gently brush away 80 to 90 percent of the moss by hand. This keeps your shingles safe. Then we use a treatment that kills the moss, lichen, and spores that are left. What makes us different is what happens next. We clean up all the debris from your roof and your property. We include gutter cleaning with most roof jobs. And we back our work with a two-year moss-free guarantee.
Your roof is one of your home’s biggest investments. We treat it that way.

Our Roof Cleaning Process
Our roof cleaning service in Victoria BC is careful and safe. We don't use high-pressure washers that can damage shingles or force water under your roof. Instead, we use a gentle soft wash method with hand-brushing.
We start by looking at your roof closely. We find problem areas, check how much moss has grown, and look for any damage. This helps us plan the best way to clean your specific roof. Then we gently brush the moss away, one section at a time. This removes most of the growth without harming your shingles.
After brushing, we apply a special treatment solution. You can't buy this at a regular store. It kills moss, lichen, and algae at the roots. It also kills the spores that cause new growth. The treatment keeps working for weeks after we leave.
The last step is one many roof cleaners skip: full cleanup. We clean your roof, your gutters, and your yard. We collect all the moss, branches, and debris and take it away. We leave your property cleaner than we found it.
Why Victoria BC Homes Need Regular Roof Cleaning
Victoria’s climate makes roof cleaning more than just looks. We get heavy rain from October through March. Our temperatures rarely freeze. This creates perfect conditions for moss to grow all year.
Moss starts small, usually in shaded spots or on north-facing slopes. But once it starts, it spreads fast. The moss works like a sponge. It holds water against your shingles long after the rain stops. This constant wetness breaks down your roof faster and can cause wood to rot.
In neighborhoods like Brentwood Bay, Royal Oak, and Langford, big trees create lots of shade. Moss grows even faster in these areas. We’ve seen roofs go from a little moss to completely covered in just two to three years.
Regular roof cleaning service protects your money. A new roof in Victoria BC can cost fifteen thousand to thirty thousand dollars or more. Good cleaning, done every two to three years, makes your roof last longer and saves you money.
Our Two-Year Moss-Free Guarantee
We back our roof cleaning service with a two-year moss-free guarantee. If moss comes back within two years, we’ll treat your roof again for free.
We can offer this guarantee because we do the job right. We’re not just blowing moss off your roof or giving it a quick rinse. We remove the moss at the root and apply treatment that keeps protecting your roof after we leave.
This guarantee also shows we’re confident in our work. We’ve cleaned hundreds of roofs across Greater Victoria. We’ve worked on old homes in Fairfield and new builds in Langford. We know what works, and we know how to get results that last.

Trusted Commercial Roof Cleaning for Victoria Businesses
Shine Pros delivers professional commercial roof cleaning services in Victoria BC that protect your building from moss, algae, and long-term roof damage. Using a proven soft wash system, our team safely cleans office buildings, retail spaces, warehouses, and multi-unit properties without harming roofing materials or voiding warranties. This service helps extend roof life, improve curb appeal, and prevent costly water issues caused by Victoria’s wet coastal climate.
Metal Roof Cleaning
Metal roofs are popular in Victoria BC because they last a long time. But they still need regular care. Moss, lichen, and algae can grow on metal roofs just like regular shingles. This happens most in shaded areas or along seams where debris builds up.
Our metal roof cleaning service uses special methods for metal surfaces. We don’t use harsh chemicals that can damage protective coatings. We never use rough methods that could scratch or dent the material. Your roof stays clean and keeps its protective finish.
Roof Moss Removal
Moss removal is what we do best. Victoria’s climate is perfect for moss to grow on roofs all over Greater Victoria. Removing it the right way takes knowledge, patience, and the right approach.
Our roof moss removal service does more than surface cleaning. We brush the moss away to remove most of the growth. Then we apply treatment that kills the roots and spores. This two-step process stops moss from coming back quickly. If moss buildup is your main concern, our moss removal service focuses on getting rid of this problem.
Solar Panel Cleaning
Soft Washing
Soft washing is the method we use for most roof cleaning in Victoria BC. Unlike pressure washing, which uses high-pressure water that can damage shingles, soft washing uses low pressure and special cleaning solutions.
Our soft washing service is gentle on your roof but tough on moss, algae, and stains. The cleaning solution does the work. It breaks down growth while we control how it’s applied. Soft washing is safer for your roof. It’s better at killing spores and gives longer-lasting results than pressure washing.
Rooftop and Skylight Cleaning
Skylights bring natural light into your Victoria home. But they also collect debris, grow algae, and get dirty. This blocks the beautiful light. When we’re already on your roof, adding skylight cleaning makes sense.
Our rooftop and skylight cleaning service includes the glass on the outside and the frames around it. We remove moss and debris from around the skylight base where buildup can cause leaks. We clean the glass inside and out when we can reach it. Clean skylights bring more light into your home. They also help you spot problems before they get expensive.

FAQ's
Yes, professional roof cleaning provides excellent value for homeowners. It typically costs $300-$600 but can extend your roof's lifespan by 5-10 years and prevent costly repairs, potentially saving you thousands compared to premature replacement. Learn more what does roof cleaning include.
Moss causes shingle lifting, moisture traps, wood rot, and can reduce your roof's lifespan by 10-15 years in Victoria's damp climate.
Victoria's coastal humidity creates ideal conditions for moss to thrive and spread rapidly across roofing materials. As moss grows, its roots dig beneath shingles, lifting them and allowing water infiltration that leads to leaks and structural damage. The constant moisture retention accelerates material breakdown, while freeze-thaw cycles in colder months cause cracking. Discover the real stats on how roof moss damages homes in Victoria.
Yes, moss causes serious structural damage by lifting shingles, allowing water infiltration that leads to wood rot and weakened roof systems.
In Victoria's damp climate, moss grows rapidly and retains constant moisture against your roof's surface. As moss spreads, its roots pry apart shingles and tiles, creating openings where water seeps beneath the roofing materials. This persistent moisture exposure causes wood rot, compromises your roof's structural integrity, and in severe cases requires complete roof replacement. Understand how roof moss is damaging homes in Victoria and the hidden threats it poses.
Professional roof cleaning in Victoria BC costs between $0.20 and $0.75 per square foot, with most homeowners paying $300 to $1,050 for standard-sized roofs.
The final cost depends on several factors including your roof's size, material type, number of stories, and cleaning method required. For example, a typical 1,500-square-foot roof averages $300 to $1,050, while larger or multi-story homes incur higher costs due to additional labor and safety equipment.

The most effective method combines gentle manual scraping with eco-friendly moss-killing treatments, avoiding pressure washers that can damage shingles.
Professional services use specialized tools to carefully remove moss without harming roofing materials, followed by applying environmentally safe moss removers that kill spores and prevent regrowth. For DIY removal, use a soft bristle brush on dry days to manually scrape away moss, then treat with commercial moss killer or water-chlorine bleach mixture. Never use pressure washers as the high force strips protective granules and damages shingles. Learn proven techniques for removing moss from your roof safely and preventing future growth.
