When it comes to home maintenance, cleaning the roof and gutters is often overlooked. But neglecting this task can lead to significant problems down the road. That’s why we offer the perfect service combo: roof and gutter cleaning.
At our company, we understand that hiring a trustworthy gutter cleaning service is critical for homeowners. The gutters are often out of sight and out of mind, and you never know if a company has done a thorough job of removing debris that can clog up your gutter and downspout system. That’s why we use a variety of methods for gutter cleaning, depending on the situation and design of each home. We may clean gutters by hand, or use a pressure washer or leaf blower to remove debris. We always follow up with a full cleanup of the ground below during a roof and gutter cleaning.
Why Bundle Roof and Gutter Cleaning Together?
Roof and gutter cleaning go hand in hand for a simple reason: your roof sheds debris directly into your gutters. When moss, leaves, and granules wash off the roof, they end up clogging your gutter system. Cleaning the roof without addressing the gutters means all that loosened debris just creates a new blockage below. And cleaning the gutters without treating the roof means they will fill right back up within weeks.
By bundling both services into a single appointment, you get a complete solution that addresses the problem from top to bottom. There is no need to schedule two separate visits, take two days off work, or deal with two different crews on your property. One team handles everything in a single session, leaving your entire roofline clean and functioning properly.
The Best Way To Save On Gutter Cleaning & Moss Removal
Gutter cleaning as a standalone service can cost an average of $400-$500, but prices may vary depending on factors like linear feet of gutters and surrounding trees. Our customers save money by bundling gutter cleaning with other services, such as roof cleaning and moss removal. In fact, we offer discounts on gutter cleaning of up to 25%-50% when combined with other services.
Here is why the savings are so significant: when our crew is already on-site with ladders set up, safety equipment in place, and a truck full of cleaning solutions, adding gutter cleaning to a roof cleaning job takes a fraction of the time compared to a standalone visit. We pass those efficiency savings directly to our customers. A gutter cleaning that might cost $450 on its own could be as low as $225 when bundled with a roof cleaning service.
What Is Included in a Combo Roof and Gutter Cleaning Service?
When you book a roof and gutter cleaning combo with Shine City, here is exactly what you can expect:
- Full roof inspection – We walk the roof (or inspect from ladders on steep pitches) to assess moss coverage, debris buildup, and any visible damage.
- Manual moss removal – Large, loose moss is carefully removed by hand using vinyl brushes that will not damage your shingles or tiles.
- Soft wash treatment – Our low-pressure cleaning solution kills moss down to the roots. Within about 20 minutes, the treatment takes full effect, and over the following weeks the dead moss shrinks and disappears naturally.
- Gutter cleanout – All leaves, moss, granules, and debris are removed from gutters by hand or with specialized tools.
- Downspout flushing – We flush every downspout with water to confirm there are no hidden blockages.
- Ground cleanup – All debris that falls during the cleaning process is collected and removed from your property.
- Photo documentation – Before-and-after photos so you can see exactly what was done, even in hard-to-see areas.
Our Roof Cleaning and Moss Removal Process
We clean a variety of roof types, including asphalt shingle, tile, cedar shake, and metal roofs. We use a low-pressure soft wash method for moss removal to prevent damage to the roof. First, we inspect the roof and carefully remove any large, loose moss using vinyl brushes. Then we apply our soft wash treatment, which kills all moss down to the roots in about 20 minutes. Over time, the dead moss shrinks and disappears on its own.
We are so confident in our roof cleaning and moss removal services that we offer a 2-year moss-free guarantee. If the moss comes back within two years, we will come back to remove it at no additional cost to you. We always prioritize safety, and we have WorkSafe BC coverage to protect our customers from liability.
Pricing for Roof and Gutter Cleaning
Our pricing for roof cleaning starts at $500 and can go up to $3,000, depending on the roof type, amount of moss, and any volume discounts from bundled services. When you add gutter cleaning to a roof cleaning appointment, you can expect the gutter portion to cost between $200 and $350 — a significant discount compared to standalone gutter cleaning pricing of $400-$500.
For a typical Metro Vancouver home with a standard asphalt shingle roof and moderate moss growth, most homeowners spend between $700 and $1,200 for the full combo service. That is considerably less than booking each service separately, which would typically run $900 to $1,500 or more.
Signs You Need Both Roof and Gutter Cleaning
Not sure if it is time to schedule a roof and gutter cleaning? Here are some telltale signs that both services are overdue:
- Visible moss or algae on your roof, especially on the north-facing side where moisture lingers longest.
- Water overflowing from gutters during rain, which indicates blockages preventing proper drainage.
- Dark streaks or stains running down the side of your house below the gutter line.
- Sagging gutters caused by the weight of wet debris that has been sitting for months.
- Plants or weeds growing out of your gutters — a sure sign they have not been cleaned in a long time.
- Granule buildup in your gutters from aging asphalt shingles, which can also signal that your roof needs attention.
If you notice two or more of these signs, booking a combo service sooner rather than later can prevent expensive repairs down the road.
Best Time of Year for Roof and Gutter Cleaning
In the Vancouver area, the ideal time for roof and gutter cleaning is late spring or early fall. Late spring (April through June) is perfect because the winter rain season has deposited debris in your gutters and encouraged moss growth on your roof. Cleaning at this time removes everything before summer and gives the moss treatment plenty of dry weather to work effectively.
Early fall (September through November) is another excellent window. Cleaning before the heavy rains arrive ensures your gutters are clear and your roof is moss-free heading into the wettest months. Many homeowners choose to do an annual cleaning in the fall as preventive maintenance, which is one of the smartest investments you can make in your home.
How Bundled Roof and Gutter Cleaning Protects Your Home in 2026
In 2026, Metro Vancouver homeowners are increasingly recognizing that reactive maintenance — waiting until something breaks to fix it — is far more expensive than preventive care. A combined roof and gutter cleaning is one of the most effective preventive measures you can take for your home’s exterior.
When moss is left untreated on your roof, it lifts shingle edges, traps moisture against the decking, and accelerates deterioration. Meanwhile, clogged gutters force water to overflow against your fascia, foundation, and landscaping. Together, a neglected roof and gutter system can lead to thousands of dollars in water damage repairs — including foundation cracks, wood rot, basement flooding, and mould remediation.
By contrast, a professional combo service typically costs between $700 and $1,200 for a standard Metro Vancouver home. That is a small fraction of the $10,000 to $30,000+ that foundation or water damage repairs can cost. Regular maintenance keeps these problems from ever developing in the first place.
Choosing the Right Roof and Gutter Cleaning Company in Metro Vancouver
Not all exterior cleaning companies are created equal. When selecting a provider for your roof and gutter cleaning, look for these key qualifications:
- WorkSafe BC coverage — This protects you from liability if a worker is injured on your property. Any company without active WCB coverage puts you at financial risk.
- Full commercial liability insurance — Accidents happen, and insurance ensures that any damage to your property is covered without you having to pay out of pocket.
- Soft wash method — Companies that use high-pressure washing on roofs risk damaging shingles, tiles, and flashing. The industry-standard soft wash method kills moss at the root level without causing harm.
- Written guarantee — A moss-free guarantee demonstrates that the company stands behind its work. Shine City offers a 2-year moss-free guarantee on all roof cleaning services.
- Transparent pricing — You should receive a detailed quote that breaks down exactly what is included. Avoid companies that give vague estimates or add surprise charges after the work is done.
- Positive reviews — Check Google reviews, Better Business Bureau ratings, and ask for references. Consistent positive feedback is the best indicator of reliable service.
Shine City checks every one of these boxes. We are fully insured, WorkSafe BC covered, and have hundreds of 5-star reviews from homeowners across Surrey, Langley, Burnaby, Abbotsford, Vancouver, and throughout the Lower Mainland.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why should I bundle roof and gutter cleaning together?
Bundling roof and gutter cleaning saves money (typically 10 to 15% off individual service prices) and ensures your entire drainage system works properly.

How much does roof and gutter cleaning cost together?

How often should roof and gutters be cleaned together?
In Metro Vancouver, we recommend a full roof and gutter cleaning at least once per year, ideally in late spring or early fall. Homes with heavy tree coverage may benefit from gutter cleaning twice yearly with an annual roof cleaning. Regular maintenance prevents expensive water damage and extends the life of both systems.
What does a professional roof and gutter cleaning include?
A professional service includes moss removal from the roof surface, application of a moss-inhibiting treatment, clearing all debris from gutters and downspouts, flushing the drainage system, and a visual inspection for damage. Shine City provides before-and-after photos and alerts you to any issues found during the service.
Can dirty gutters damage my roof?
Yes. When gutters are clogged, water backs up under the roof edge, causing fascia rot, soffit damage, and ice dams in winter. This backed-up water can also seep under shingles and into your attic. Keeping both your roof and gutters clean protects your entire home. Call Shine City at (604) 229-5354 to schedule your service.
