Roof Softwash Cleaning & Moss Removal in Chilliwack & Fraser Valley

Common Roof Problems Here

(moss, algae, lichen, black streaks)

In the Fraser Valley, roofs stay damp longer—especially under tree cover and on north-facing slopes. That creates the perfect environment for moss, algae, lichen, and black streaks to develop over time. Besides making a roof look older than it is, heavy organic growth can hold moisture, trap debris in valleys, and contribute to gutters filling faster. If you’re noticing green patches, dark staining, or rough growth along edges and shaded areas, it’s a sign your roof is due for a professional cleaning.

What we commonly see locally:

Moss: Thick green growth that spreads along shaded roof sections, edges, and valleys (Roof demossing needed.)
Algae: Green or dark staining that dulls the roof’s appearance
Lichen: Tough, crusty growth that bonds to the surface
Black streaks: Dark lines or streaking that reduces curb appeal (often mistaken for “just dirt”)

What Results to Expect (before/after + longevity guidance)

Homeowners see a major curb appeal improvement right away—especially on shaded rooflines where moss and staining are most visible. You’ll typically notice cleaner roof color, sharper lines at the edges, and a more “well-kept” look from the street.

Before/after expectations:

Immediate improvement in visible moss and organic buildup
A roof that looks cleaner, brighter, and more uniform
Continued improvement over time depending on the type of growth and conditions

How long results last:
Longevity depends on shade, tree cover, roof pitch, and moisture exposure. Homes with heavy shade or nearby trees may see faster regrowth than homes with more sun exposure. Many customers choose maintenance cleanings as a preventive approach—especially if moss has been an ongoing issue.
