Burnaby’s unique Pacific Northwest climate — with heavy rainfall, persistent moisture, and mild temperatures — creates the perfect conditions for moss, algae, mildew, and organic buildup on every exterior surface. The city receives approximately 1,500 mm of rain annually, making it one of the wetter municipalities in Metro Vancouver. This constant moisture, combined with mild winter temperatures that rarely dip below freezing, creates a year-round growing season for moss, algae, and mildew on your home’s exterior surfaces. Without regular professional cleaning, these contaminants damage your property and reduce its value.
Whether you live in Metrotown, Brentwood, Edmonds, or the Heights, our experienced team brings professional-grade equipment directly to your door. Shine City uses proven soft wash and pressure washing techniques tailored specifically to Burnaby’s climate challenges, ensuring your property is cleaned safely and effectively every time.
Our Burnaby Pressure Washing Services
We offer a comprehensive range of exterior cleaning services designed to tackle every surface on your Burnaby property. Each service is performed by trained technicians using commercial-grade equipment and eco-friendly cleaning solutions that are safe for your landscaping, pets, and family.
House Washing
Restore your Burnaby home’s curb appeal with our gentle soft wash system. Over time, your siding collects dirt, algae, mildew, and black streaks that make your home look years older than it is. Our soft wash house cleaning method uses low-pressure water combined with biodegradable detergents to safely break down and rinse away all organic growth and grime. This technique is safe for vinyl siding, stucco, cedar, brick, Hardie board, and painted surfaces — no risk of water intrusion or surface damage. Most Burnaby house washes are completed in 2 to 4 hours, and the results are immediately visible.
Roof Cleaning & Moss Removal
Burnaby’s wet climate means moss is a constant battle for homeowners. Thick moss growth traps moisture against your shingles, accelerating deterioration and shortening your roof’s lifespan by years. Our soft wash roof cleaning method removes moss, algae, and lichen without using high pressure that can damage shingles or void manufacturer warranties. After cleaning, we apply a professional-grade moss prevention treatment to keep your roof moss-free for longer. Regular roof cleaning every 2 to 3 years can extend your roof’s lifespan significantly and save you thousands in premature replacement costs.
Gutter Cleaning
Clogged gutters are one of the most common causes of water damage to Burnaby homes. When gutters overflow, water runs down your siding, pools around your foundation, and can seep into your basement or crawl space. Our professional gutter cleaning service includes removing all debris from gutters and downspouts, flushing the entire system to ensure proper flow, and inspecting for damage or sagging. In Burnaby’s rainy climate, we recommend gutter cleaning at least twice per year — once in late fall after the leaves drop, and again in spring to clear winter debris.
Deck & Patio Cleaning
Revitalize your outdoor living space with professional deck and patio cleaning. Burnaby’s moisture-heavy climate causes wood decks to develop algae, mildew, and grey weathering that makes them slippery and unsightly. We clean wood, composite, Trex, and vinyl decks using the appropriate pressure and cleaning solutions for each material. Concrete and stone patios get a thorough pressure wash with surface cleaners that provide an even, streak-free finish. Deck cleaning is perfect for getting your Burnaby backyard ready for summer entertaining or preparing a deck for re-staining.
Driveway & Concrete Cleaning
Your driveway is one of the first things visitors notice about your property. Over time, Burnaby driveways accumulate oil stains, tire marks, moss, algae, and ground-in dirt that regular garden hoses cannot remove. Our commercial surface cleaners use rotating high-pressure jets to evenly clean concrete, asphalt, pavers, and exposed aggregate without leaving wand marks or uneven streaks. The transformation is dramatic — most driveways look nearly new after cleaning. We also clean sidewalks, walkways, retaining walls, garage floors, and pool decks.
Commercial Pressure Washing
Shine City serves Burnaby businesses, strata buildings, retail centres, and commercial properties of all sizes. A clean exterior makes a strong first impression on customers and tenants. We clean storefronts, building facades, parking garages, loading docks, sidewalks, and common areas. We carry $5M in liability insurance as required by most strata corporations and commercial property managers. We can work early mornings, evenings, or weekends to minimize disruption to your business operations. Many Burnaby strata councils trust us with their annual exterior maintenance programs.
Soft Washing
Soft washing is a specialized low-pressure cleaning method that is essential for delicate surfaces that would be damaged by traditional high-pressure washing. This includes roof shingles, vinyl and aluminum siding, stucco, cedar shakes, painted surfaces, awnings, and outdoor furniture. Our soft wash process uses professional-grade, biodegradable detergents applied at low pressure to break down mildew, algae, moss, and bacteria at the cellular level. The contaminants are then gently rinsed away, leaving surfaces clean without any risk of damage. Soft washing results also last longer than pressure washing alone because it kills organic growth at the root rather than just blasting it off the surface.
Window Cleaning
Complete your Burnaby home’s exterior transformation with professional window cleaning. Burnaby’s rain leaves hard water spots, mineral deposits, and streaks on your glass that build up over time. We use water-fed pole systems with purified water and traditional squeegee techniques to deliver streak-free, crystal-clear windows. Interior and exterior cleaning is available, including hard-to-reach windows, skylights, French doors, and glass railings.

Burnaby Neighbourhoods We Serve
Our pressure washing team provides service to every neighbourhood in Burnaby. Here are some of the areas where we regularly work:
Metrotown
Burnaby’s bustling urban centre is home to high-rise condos, townhouse complexes, and established single-family homes. We regularly clean strata buildings, commercial properties, and residential homes throughout the Metrotown area. The mix of older and newer construction means a variety of exterior materials that each require the right cleaning approach.
Brentwood
Brentwood has seen massive redevelopment in recent years, with new towers alongside established residential streets. Construction dust from ongoing development is a common issue for Brentwood homeowners. Our house washing service removes this dust buildup along with the usual algae and mildew growth.
Edmonds
The Edmonds neighbourhood features a mix of character homes, newer townhouses, and low-rise apartments. Properties here benefit greatly from regular pressure washing, especially driveways and sidewalks that develop heavy moss growth due to mature tree canopy coverage in the area.
Lougheed
The Lougheed area, including the Lougheed Town Centre neighbourhood, has a growing mix of residential and commercial properties. We serve both homeowners and businesses along the Lougheed corridor, from single-family homes on quiet streets to retail storefronts and strata complexes.
Burnaby Heights
One of Burnaby’s most established neighbourhoods, the Heights features beautiful character homes with mature landscaping. Many homes here have cedar siding that requires specialized soft washing to clean without damage. The neighbourhood’s tree-lined streets also mean heavier moss and debris accumulation on roofs and gutters.
Capitol Hill
Capitol Hill is known for its older homes, many built in the 1940s through 1960s, with a mix of siding materials including cedar, stucco, and vinyl. These heritage-era homes benefit from gentle soft washing to preserve their character while removing decades of organic growth. The elevated terrain means homes here are exposed to more wind-driven rain, increasing moisture buildup on exterior surfaces.
Deer Lake
Properties around Deer Lake enjoy a park-like setting but also deal with higher moisture levels from the lake and surrounding green space. Homes in this area tend to develop moss and algae faster than other parts of Burnaby. Regular roof cleaning and gutter maintenance are especially important for Deer Lake residents.
Forest Grove
True to its name, Forest Grove is surrounded by mature trees and green space. This means heavier leaf debris in gutters, more shade on roofs encouraging moss growth, and more organic buildup on siding and decks. We recommend twice-yearly gutter cleaning and annual house washing for Forest Grove homeowners.
Burnaby Mountain & SFU
Homes near Burnaby Mountain and Simon Fraser University are surrounded by dense forest, leading to the heaviest moss growth in all of Burnaby. The elevation also brings more rain and fog. Properties in this area need more frequent roof cleaning and moss treatment to keep growth under control. We serve UniverCity residences, townhomes, and the surrounding single-family neighbourhoods.
Willingdon Heights
Willingdon Heights is a well-established residential neighbourhood with a mix of original homes and newer rebuilds. The mature trees lining the streets provide beautiful canopy coverage but also contribute to faster moss and algae growth on roofs and siding. Our soft wash approach is ideal for the variety of siding materials found throughout this neighbourhood.
Cariboo-Armstrong
Located in southeast Burnaby, the Cariboo-Armstrong area includes residential streets alongside light industrial zones. Homes here can accumulate extra dust and grime from nearby commercial activity. Our pressure washing service restores driveways, siding, and patios to like-new condition, making a noticeable difference in this neighbourhood.

Our trained technicians know exactly which method and pressure setting to use for each surface type, ensuring thorough cleaning without any damage.
How often should I get my Burnaby home pressure washed?
In Burnaby’s wet Pacific Northwest climate, we recommend the following maintenance schedule: house washing once per year, gutter cleaning twice per year (fall and spring), roof cleaning and moss treatment every 2 to 3 years, and deck or patio cleaning annually before summer. Properties in heavily treed areas like Burnaby Mountain, Forest Grove, or Deer Lake may benefit from more frequent cleaning.

Absolutely. We work with many Burnaby strata councils and property management companies. We can provide detailed proposals for townhouse complexes, apartment buildings, and mixed-use developments. We carry $5M in liability insurance as required by most strata corporations. We can coordinate schedules to minimize disruption to residents and handle all communication with your property manager.
What time of year is best for pressure washing in Burnaby?
We provide pressure washing services year-round in Burnaby. Spring (March to May) is ideal for removing winter buildup and getting your home ready for summer. Summer (June to August) is our busiest season and perfect for deck and patio cleaning. Fall (September to November) is the best time for gutter cleaning and roof moss treatment before winter rains. Even in winter, we can work on many exterior cleaning projects during dry spells. Contact us any time and we will recommend the best timing for your specific needs.
How long does a typical pressure washing job take in Burnaby?
Most residential jobs are completed in a single visit. A standard house wash takes 2 to 4 hours, driveway cleaning takes 1 to 2 hours, roof cleaning takes 2 to 4 hours, and gutter cleaning takes 1 to 2 hours. Larger properties and multi-service appointments may take a full day. We always provide a time estimate with your quote so you can plan accordingly.
Do I need to be home during the pressure washing?
Not necessarily. As long as we have access to an outdoor water spigot and the areas to be cleaned, we can complete most exterior work while you are away. We will coordinate access details with you before your appointment and send photos of the completed work when we are finished. Many of our Burnaby customers appreciate the convenience of coming home to a freshly cleaned property.
