Roof Cleaning / Moss Removal
Professional Roof Cleaning Service
June to October
- Late June to September preferred
Our Roof Cleaning Process
We first scrub the moss off the roof as gently as possible using medium-stiff brushes. We then blow down the roof, clean out the gutter system and clean up the ground.
At that point, the prep work is done and the roof is now ready for the most important part; the Spray Treatment.
We have 2 people on site for the spray part of the job, as a safety precaution. The ground person is responsible for keeping everything wet with water while the roof is getting sprayed. We are trying to kill everything that is growing on your roof. Not just the moss nubs left behind, but also the algae, lichens, mold, and bacteria. We put a lot of volume up there to accomplish this.
In our opinion, there isn’t much point in doing moss removal, if you are not going to follow it up with the spray treatment.
The goal should be to avoid regrowth the following Fall/Winter and avoid the need to ever do moss removal again. This is how you max out the life of your shingle and help keep your roof and gutter system working efficiently.
Quality One vs Other Companies:
There are a few other companies in Metro Vancouver that we feel do a good job Roof Cleaning. However, there are far more that don’t. Price differences with this service from company to company can usually be attributed to the spray part of the job, if they spray at all, but sometimes the prep side too.
We are thorough in our prep and use a lot of volume with the spray treatment.
Every year, we get asked if we can match pricing from another companies lower quote. The problem is, often the other quote wouldn’t even cover our cost to do the job. Roof Cleans, for our company, are bigger jobs with added cost and therefore have a higher price than all of our other services.

Spring/Summer
Pricing Guidelines:
Here we are applying our Roof Spray Treatment to the roof. We do this as a final (and most important!) step in our 3-Step Roof Cleaning process. One of our incredible technicians, Christian, is up on the roof applying the treatment, while Mike is on the ground keeping everything wet, such as plants and wood fences with a garden hose.
See below for some pictures of the many Roof Cleans we’ve done over the years.
If you think you may be in need of shingle roof cleaning, but aren’t sure what exactly to look for… Look for these signs on your roof:
Moss: Will often be most obvious on the North side (the side that gets the least amount of sun) as well as any shady sections of your roof. However, once moss starts to infect one area of your roof, it will grow and spread to other sections of your roof pretty quickly.
Black or Brown Staining: This is very common here in the Pacific Northwest, it is a bacteria called Gloeocapsa magma. It almost looks like a water stain on the roof. When left for too long, it can cause damage to your shingles by causing granule loss. Using a chlorine cleaning solution gently sprayed by professionals will lighten these algae and can remove them completely. This not only improves the look of your roof but also helps to prolong the lifespan of the roof.
Lichens: Lichens on your roof are very common around the lower mainland, we find especially in areas around Vancouver and Richmond where concrete tile roofs are popular. You may notice lichens as white or green spots all over the roof that resemble bird poop in the shingles. They are algae that grow and spreads across the roof. Leaving lichens on the roof not only looks unsightly but is also causing further deterioration to your tiles. The best way to remove this type of fungus is to hire a professional roof cleaning company such as Quality One to use safe roof cleaning solutions on your roof to remove this effectively.
If you are concerned that you have any of these unwanted bacteria growing on your roof and are curious about the roof cleaning cost for your specific home, please don’t hesitate to reach out to Quality One Home Services and we can gladly help you out. We offer the best roof cleaning options as well as the safest and most efficient methods to keep your home looking its cleanest.

Mike and his crew cleaned my gutters and installed gutter baskets. I was very impressed by their professionalism and quick response time. They even inspected my gutters and repaired them in the same appointment. I will definitely use them again for the next gutter cleaning!

I had Mike from Quality One Home Services come out in July to clean my windows and screens. I have never had this type of service done in the past and i have to say, what a difference it made. Everything was in technicolor! This business was top notch from the moment i sent an email. Prompt reply and Mike showed up on time, did a great job from start to finish, payment was easy also. I highly recommend them and will def call again for this service. They also offer other services such as gutter cleaning and roof sweep, etc. I found the price was on point. Its so refreshing to find good quality work for a fair price. Thank you again, Quality One!

This is the 2nd time I have used Quality One Home Services for my home gutter cleaning. Professional, courteous, efficient and on time. A thorough, quality job completed both times. You can tell they take pride in the work they do and ensuring customer satisfaction. They will provide pictures to show the areas that are clogged and also do a scan to let you know if anything else needs servicing (i.e. shingles missing). They will also provide courtesy reminders when it is time to consider another service. Highly recommend. 👍🏻

Have been using Quality1's exterior window cleaning services for seven years now for a 2-story Vancouver Special. We re-book the following year's service after each cleaning and without fail, several weeks before that date, an email reminder is sent. The firm has several different work divisions but I have always dealt with the owner and his daughter who typify personable and professional.

For years now, Quality One has performed our power/pressure washing. The back yard is all in paving stones plus sidewalks, a painted fireplace and a driveway. Christian does an excellent job and it always looks so clean when he is finished and a job well done. Also, over the years we have the roof cleaned and looking after it has certainly preserved it. It is approximately 25 years old and still looks good. Quality One cleans it and sprays it to control the moss. In addition, each year they clean our guttersThey have a high standard for employing responsible, professional, personable staff who are attentive to the wants and needs of their customers. They have all been very customer oriented.Another thing that is important to us is that they are covered by WCB and have Insurance.We would highly recommend Quality One for any cleaning needs you may have. Mike and his crew are great. Thank you so much.Sharon R.

Always a quality job from Quality One. I've used them for a number of years now for my glass/metal awning on my back deck. That has expanded to roof cleaning, gutters, windows, pressure washing concrete and shed. Makes my life so much easier to have the house exterior cleaned up in one go and done so well. Now we're ready for summer!
