Cedar Roof Cleaning and Pressure Washing

Vancouver South West Roof Inc's highly trained personnel, can professionally remove all moss, mold, mildew, fungus and debris, thus restoring your roof to a clean natural wood color. There are a number of ways to clean a cedar roof but the most effective and efficient way is by pressure washing. Inexperience and high pressure can damage cedar roofs. We have used the low pressure, high volume system since 1985. Experience is a must! Once cleaned, the wood can then be treated to guard against mildews, molds and fungus for up to four years, then treatment will need to be repeated. After being treated, your roof will return to the silver gray color of a healthy cedar roof. In addition to inhibiting the growth of fungus, our product also protects and rejuvenates the lubricity and repellency lost to the elements of nature, thus adding to the service life of your roof.

With a little foresight and the basic understandings of what degrades your cedar shake roof, you can avoid costly and unnecessary cedar roof replacement in the future.

As cedar advances to its mature stage, it is natural to expect some shakes and shingles to require replacement. Individual repairs are possible, and with prompt attention, proactive repairs can extend the life for many more years.

The fact is, cedar roofs can be maintained, extending their life expectancy. With the rising costs of cedar and alternative roofing products, you will see that restoring and repairing your roof is a sound investment.
