Roof Maintenance

A roof is the most exposed system on your home, and our wet West Coast climate is hard on it. An annual maintenance visit easily doubles the useful life of most Vancouver Island roofs, prevents moss damage, and catches small issues before they turn into expensive ones.

Roof Maintenance on Vancouver Island
What's included

A roof system, not just a product.

  • Annual visual inspection and tune-up
  • Moss treatment and removal
  • Gutter and downpipe cleaning
  • Sealant and flashing refresh

Why annual matters here

Our wet climate grows moss aggressively. Caught early, it brushes off. Left alone, it lifts shingles and shortens roof life by a decade.

Our process

How a roof maintenance project actually runs.

  1. 1

    Visual inspection

    We walk the roof, photograph any issues, and check flashings, vents, sealants and gutters.

  2. 2

    Moss treatment

    We apply a zinc-based moss treatment that kills existing moss and prevents regrowth without damaging shingles.

  3. 3

    Gutter & valley clean

    Debris cleared from gutters, downpipes and valleys so water actually reaches the ground.

  4. 4

    Tune-up & report

    Worn sealants refreshed, loose nails reset, and a written report emailed with photos and any recommended follow-up.

FAQ

Roof Maintenance questions, answered.

How often should I have my roof maintained on Vancouver Island?+

Once a year is the right cadence for most Vancouver Island homes. Homes under heavy tree cover or near saltwater benefit from twice-yearly service.

How much does roof maintenance cost?+

Annual maintenance on a typical Island home runs $300 – $600 depending on roof size, pitch and access. Moss treatment on a heavily affected roof may add $200 – $500.

Should I have moss removed or just treated?+

Light moss is best treated chemically — physically scraping or pressure-washing moss off asphalt shingles removes the protective granules and shortens shingle life significantly. We treat, let nature wash the dead moss away, then clean up debris.

Will roof maintenance keep my warranty valid?+

Many manufacturer warranties — particularly enhanced commercial warranties — require documented annual maintenance. Our maintenance reports satisfy these requirements.

Do you offer maintenance plans?+

Yes — annual and semi-annual maintenance plans include scheduled visits, photo reports, and priority booking for any repair work. Plan customers receive discounted rates.
