Why Choose Red Maple for Roof Moss Removal & Treatment?
Moss is one of the most common roof problems we see in the Lower Mainland, especially on north-facing slopes and under trees in Coquitlam, Port Moody and the North Shore. It holds water against the shingles, lifts their edges and lets water work underneath. Removing it the wrong way does nearly as much damage as leaving it.
Pressure washing strips the protective granules off asphalt shingles and can drive water under them. We remove moss by hand and with low-pressure tools, clear it from gutters and valleys, then apply a treatment to slow it coming back.
How We Work
Assessment
We check how deep the moss is rooted and whether shingles underneath are damaged, and photograph it before we start.
Shingle-Safe Removal
Moss is removed by hand and with low-pressure methods, working down the slope so shingles are not lifted.
Treatment
A moss treatment is applied to slow regrowth. We follow the product label and protect plants and surfaces below.

Safe Roof Moss Removal (Why We Never Pressure Wash)
High-pressure water blasts granules off asphalt shingles and can void manufacturer warranties. On older roofs it can also push water under the shingles. Low-pressure, hand-based removal takes longer but keeps the roof intact.
Asphalt Shingle Moss Removal
Asphalt shingles are the most common roof we treat. If moss has been there for years, some shingles may already be cupped or cracked. We replace those individually so the roof keeps shedding water properly.
Roof Cleaning and Moss Prevention
Trimming overhanging branches, keeping gutters clear and a regular treatment schedule are the most effective ways to keep moss from coming back. We will tell you which of these will make the biggest difference on your roof.
Our honest advice
If moss has damaged the roof beyond a clean-up, we will say so and show you photos, rather than charging for a treatment that will not help.
