Your roof is an asset. We help you keep it.

For most asphalt-shingle roofs that are structurally sound, yes. Preservation typically costs a fraction of replacement and can add years of service life, making it one of the highest-return decisions a Vancouver Island homeowner can make. We only recommend it when an honest assessment shows your roof is a good candidate — if replacement is the smarter call, we will tell you.

That is the entire point. By removing moss and organic growth, restoring shingle health, and protecting against future moisture, preservation can delay replacement by many years — keeping a major capital expense in the future instead of the present.

A typical asphalt-shingle replacement on Vancouver Island runs roughly $10,000–$20,000+, and labour here tends to run 15–20% above the provincial average because of higher coastal living costs and the extra ventilation, underlayment, and flashing work our wet climate demands. Preservation is usually a small fraction of that figure.

Almost always. Industry-wide, roof rejuvenation and preservation run about 15–25% of the cost of a new roof. On a $15,000 replacement, that is the difference between a four-figure planned expense and a five-figure emergency one.

On the coast, the leading causes are moss and algae growth, trapped moisture, UV exposure, and the constant wet–dry cycling that ages shingles prematurely. Left unchecked, moss lifts and cracks shingles, holds water against the roof, and accelerates the breakdown of the asphalt mat.

Our maritime climate is close to ideal for roof decay: heavy rainfall, persistent coastal moisture and humidity, shade from mature evergreens, salt exposure near the water, and freeze-thaw cycles at higher elevations. Together they grow moss quickly and stress shingles year-round — which is exactly why proactive preservation pays off here.

GoNano is a water-based, nano-emulsion treatment for ageing asphalt shingles. It penetrates the shingle to restore flexibility and water resistance, helping an older roof shed moisture and resist further breakdown — extending functional life without a tear-off.

It depends on the roof’s starting condition, but preservation and rejuvenation commonly add 5–15 years of service life to an asphalt-shingle roof. We give you a realistic, condition-based estimate after inspection — never a one-size-fits-all promise.

Cleaning removes what is on the roof today. Preservation is a strategy: assess, clean, treat the cause of growth, protect against its return, and monitor over time so the roof keeps performing. Cleaning is a task; preservation protects the asset.

It is structural, not cosmetic. Moss holds moisture against the shingle surface, lifts and separates shingles as it spreads, and creates entry points for water. On Vancouver Island it can re-establish within a season, which is why removal without follow-up treatment and monitoring rarely lasts.

Yes — when done correctly. We use low-pressure, hand-led methods and professional-grade treatments rather than aggressive pressure washing, which can strip the protective granules off shingles and shorten roof life. Protecting the roof, not just cleaning it, is the goal.

Reputable preservation methods are designed to be warranty-safe, and proper maintenance is often a condition of keeping a manufacturer warranty valid. We document the work so you have a clear record of the care your roof has received.

For most Vancouver Island homes, an annual inspection with seasonal monitoring is the right cadence — enough to catch moss regrowth, clear gutters before the wet season, and keep the roof ahead of the climate. Our preservation membership handles this automatically.

Property monitoring is scheduled, documented inspection of your home’s roof and exterior. It is ideal for vacation-home owners, seasonal residents, and investors who are not on-site to notice early warning signs — you get clear reports and recommendations without having to be there.

It comes down to structural condition and remaining shingle integrity. A sound roof with surface growth and normal ageing is usually an excellent preservation candidate; a roof with widespread failure, leaks, or deck damage may need replacement. Our free assessment gives you an honest, evidence-based answer either way.

It is a year-round preventative-maintenance program: annual inspections, seasonal monitoring, priority booking, and member pricing. Instead of reacting to problems, you steward your property on a planned schedule — protecting both its condition and its value.

We serve homeowners across southern and central Vancouver Island — including Victoria, Langford, Sooke, Sidney, Duncan, Nanaimo, Parksville, Qualicum Beach, Courtenay, Comox, and Campbell River — and the communities in between.
