Roof Moss Removal & Treatment:
Protecting Your Home the Right Way. Roof moss might look harmless at first, but left untreated, it can shorten the life of your roof and cost homeowners thousands in premature repairs or replacement.
At Matt’s Home Services, we provide a safe, warranty-approved method for removing moss and treating roofs that not only cleans your roof but also protects it for years.
Why You Should Never Pressure Wash a Roof
It’s tempting to blast roof moss away with pressure washing, but this is one of the worst things you can do to your roof. On asphalt shingles, pressure washing removes the protective granules that shield the asphalt underneath.
Without those granules, shingles quickly dry out, crack, and lose their ability to protect your home. High pressure also forces water under the shingles, creating leaks and voiding manufacturer warranties.
That’s why we use only methods recommended by the Canadian Asphalt Shingle Manufacturers’ Association and the Roof Cleaners Institute of America.
Our Proven Roof Moss Removal & Treatment Process
Here’s exactly how our service works, step by step:
- Moss is gently agitated with a bristle brush to lift it without damaging the shingles.
- Moss is cleared from the roof with a blower or broom.
- We apply a professional roof cleaning treatment that kills moss spores, mould, and algae to stop regrowth after de-mossing.
- Interior gutters on the full house are cleaned out to restore proper water drainage.
- Our crew ensures all debris on the ground is fully cleaned up after roof work.
- Collected debris is placed in your green yard waste bin, and any excess is bagged in compostable bags for eco-friendly disposal.
This process is designed to restore your roof safely, keep warranties intact, and extend its lifespan.
Important Notes for Homeowners
- Permanent stains cannot be removed.
- Areas not treated with the solution may still look weathered compared to treated sections.
- Awning gutters are not included in the service.
- A temporary anchor point may be installed in compliance with WorkSafe BC standards for safety.
- Moss may take 3–6 months after treatment to disappear completely.
- Every service includes a 2-year warranty and certificate for peace of mind.
