Roof Cleaning & Moss Removal in Langley, Surrey & the Lower Mainland

Typical home$550before GST

Roof cleaning for a typical home costs $550 before GST. That is a soft wash: a low-pressure spray that kills moss, algae and lichen down to the root. If thick moss has to come off by hand first, it is usually $650. Your shingles are never power washed.

Across our real estimates, most roof cleans land between $550 and $750. Before any treatment goes on the roof, we protect the plants and garden beds below it.

Moss removal in Langley and Surrey

Moss is the reason for most of the roof calls we get from Langley and Surrey. It starts on the north side and under trees, where the shingles stay damp longest. Then it spreads. A thick mat holds water against the roof all winter and pushes up the edges of the shingles as it grows.

Thin moss and black algae streaks need only the $550 soft wash. Thick, spongy moss gets brushed off by hand first, then soft washed so what is left dies at the root. That hand-detail clean is usually $650. We finish by clearing the moss and grit that wash down into your gutters.

Roof cleaning before winter

Fall is a good time to clean a roof here. Moss treated before the winter rain stops soaking up water through the wettest months of the year, and the gutters can be cleared of needles and moss at the same visit. The treatment needs a few dry hours to work, so we book roof cleans around the forecast. Ask early in the season if you want it done before the heavy rain.

Roof washing without a pressure washer

If you searched for roof washing, this is the same job. The difference is how it is done. A pressure washer blasts off the small granules that protect asphalt shingles from the sun, and that damage cannot be undone. We spray the cleaning solution on at low pressure, let it work, and rinse gently. The moss dies at the root instead of being torn off the surface.

Why book roof cleaning with us

Clear price up front

A typical soft-wash roof clean is $550 before GST. Heavy moss that needs hand removal is usually $650.

Never power washed

High pressure strips the granules off asphalt shingles. We use low pressure and let the cleaning solution do the work.

Kills growth at the root

The treatment kills moss and algae down to the root, so regrowth is much slower.

Plants protected

Garden beds and shrubs under the roofline are protected before any treatment goes on the roof.

Our process

  1. 1

    Inspection

    We check the roof material, pitch and how much moss and algae there is, then protect the plants below.

  2. 2

    Moss removal

    Thick moss is brushed off by hand. Loose debris is cleared without scraping the shingles.

  3. 3

    Soft-wash treatment

    A biodegradable cleaning solution goes on at low pressure to kill moss, algae and lichen.

  4. 4

    Rinse & tidy

    We rinse gently, clear the runoff and moss out of your gutters, and clean up the site.

Roof Cleaning FAQs

How much does roof cleaning cost in Langley and Surrey?

A soft-wash roof clean for a typical home is $550 before GST. A hand-detail clean, where thick moss is brushed off by hand first, is usually $650. Most roofs land between $550 and $750, and large, steep, cedar or heavily mossed roofs can reach $950 or more. These numbers come from 671 real Splash N Shine estimates written between August 2025 and November 2026. Our instant quote tool gives you a price in about a minute.

Should I clean my roof before winter?

Yes, fall is a good time. Moss that is treated before the winter rain stops holding water against your shingles through the wettest months of the year. We can clear the gutters at the same visit. A typical roof is $550 before GST. The treatment needs a few dry hours, so we book around the forecast.

What is soft wash roof cleaning?

Soft washing sprays a biodegradable cleaning solution onto the roof at low pressure. The solution kills moss, algae and lichen at the root, then the roof is rinsed gently. Nothing is blasted off, so the shingles keep their protective granules. For a typical home it costs $550 before GST.

Can you pressure wash a roof?

We never pressure wash shingles. High pressure strips the granules that protect asphalt shingles from the sun and can force water under the edges. Soft washing removes the moss and algae without that damage.

How long does moss stay away after roof cleaning?

Because the treatment kills moss and algae at the root, it comes back much more slowly than moss that is only scraped off. How long depends on shade and trees: roofs under heavy tree cover or on the shaded north side come back sooner.

Will the cleaning solution harm my plants?

We protect the plants and garden beds under your roofline before any treatment goes on, and we use biodegradable solutions.

Do you clean tile, cedar and metal roofs?

Yes. Soft washing is used on asphalt, cedar, tile and metal roofs, with the mix and pressure matched to the material. Cedar roofs often cost more than the $550 standard because of the extra care they need, so tell us the roof type when you ask for a quote.
