NEW Roof Rejuvenation
Considering a Roof Replacement? Rethink Your Approach with Roof Rejuvenation!
Maintaining moss-free roofs is crucial for Vancouver homes, given our coastal climate.
Moss poses a common challenge for BC rooftops, especially with the damp climate of British Columbia's west coast. Take a drive through Vancouver, and you'll notice moss thriving on many roofs. Aside from being unsightly, unchecked moss growth can inflict serious harm on your roof. Regular maintenance and periodic moss removal are crucial to preserving your roof and home.
Our skilled contractors employ gentle yet effective methods to thoroughly eliminate moss from your roof. With specialized techniques and brush heads, we ensure no damage occurs to the underlying materials. It's essential to entrust this work to experienced technicians, as an inexperienced approach can lead to further damage and headaches.
Following moss removal, we apply a chemical treatment spray to the roof to eradicate any remaining microscopic moss spores. This treatment typically provides protection for 12 to 18 months. This step is vital; without it, moss can quickly regrow. The chemical targets moss and lichen biology without posing any harm to animals, plants, or humans.
With regular spray treatments, major physical moss removal should become unnecessary. We recommend setting up an annual preventative treatment spray plan to keep moss growth at bay. Additionally, we offer a 12-month warranty to address any visible moss regrowth, which extends with each annual preventative spray treatment.
Moss isn't just unsightly; it can severely damage your roof. As it grows, moss pushes against and loosens shingles, leading to water infiltration and leaks. In severe cases, it can even compromise the structural integrity of the roof. Moreover, moss impedes your home's insulation efficiency by blocking sunlight and air circulation, resulting in increased energy costs.
It's generally advised to attend to moss on your roof every two years. However, the frequency may vary depending on the severity of the moss growth and the type of roof you have. For personalized advice, it's best to consult with a professional.
The cost of professional moss removal depends on factors such as the size and slope of your roof, as well as the extent of the moss infestation. For a typical 2,000-square-foot house with moderate moss growth, the cost typically ranges between $500 and $2,500. However, this can vary based on the condition and configuration of your roof. We provide complimentary on-site estimates – reach out to us today to schedule one!
While it's possible to remove moss from your roof yourself, we strongly advise against it. Working on your roof can be hazardous, and DIY methods may result in more harm than good. It's best to leave this task to trained professionals.
Neglecting to address moss on your roof can lead to significant damage. As moss accumulates, it can loosen and lift shingles, causing leaks and water damage. In severe cases, it may even compromise the structural integrity of your roof. Additionally, moss reduces your home's insulation efficiency by blocking sunlight and air circulation, leading to increased energy costs.
Late fall or early spring is generally considered the optimal time for moss removal, as this is when moss is most active and likely to cause damage. However, moss removal can be performed at any time of year.
The duration of moss removal depends on factors such as the size and slope of your roof, as well as the extent of the moss growth. For a typical 2,000-square-foot house with moderate moss growth, the process typically takes between four and eight hours.
All types of roofs are susceptible to moss growth and can be safely and effectively treated. This includes asphalt shingles, metal roofs, cedar shake roofs, tile roofs, and more.
Moss removal involves manually removing moss from your roof using specialized tools, while power washing employs high-pressure water to remove moss. While power washing can be effective, it may also cause damage to your roof. That's why we recommend moss removal instead.
After moss removal, a trained technician will inspect your roof to ensure all moss has been removed. In most cases, you'll notice an immediate difference in the appearance and feel of your roof.

"My small Vancouver Strata has engaged VIP Maintenance several times to clean our windows and gutters and also remove moss from the roof. Bryan always shows up quickly to provide a quote and we never have to wait long for the work to be done. This company is very professional, they have all the necessary equipment for a tall house, and they are fully insured through WCB. All the work was completed in one day, but this meant working until into the evening. Our roof is now moss-free and our windows are sparkling clean. We will invite them back again next year. Highly recommended!"

"VIP Maintenance did an excellent professional job of clearing our roof of moss and debris as well as cleaning the gutters and power washing the decks and driveway. They put things back and cleared up after. They were polite and pleasant to work with."
