Roof Cleaning in Richmond

Yes. We cover all of Richmond, including Steveston, Terra Nova, Broadmoor, Hamilton and surrounding areas. Richmond's coastal humidity and flat, low-lying lots mean siding films over with algae and window glass hazes fast. A soft wash and a window clean deal with both.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.
