Our Process
How We Soft-Wash a Cedar Shingle Roof
Roof-safe soft-washing using low pressure and dedicated chemistry to remove moss and algae without disturbing shingles or voiding warranties.
- 01
Roof inspection and access setup
We assess shingle condition, identify any structural concerns, and set up safe roof access. Heavy moss areas and broken shingles are flagged before treatment starts.
- 02
Pre-treatment and dwell
A roof-safe moss and algae treatment is applied evenly across the cedar shingles and allowed to dwell. The chemistry kills organic growth at the root rather than just on the surface.
- 03
Low-pressure rinse
The roof is rinsed at low pressure — never the high pressure that splits shingles and voids warranties. The treatment plus gentle rinsing carries debris cleanly off the roof.
- 04
Preservative oil treatment
A clear or lightly tinted preservative oil is applied to restore moisture management and inhibit moss regrowth. Untreated cedar roofs typically need recleaning within 18 months; treated roofs hold the full 3-to-5-year cycle.
- 05
Cleanup and inspection report
Gutters and downspouts are cleared of debris, and we provide a written report on shingle condition and recommended next inspection.

Products we use
For all stain and refinishing work, we apply Expert Stain & Seal contractor-grade penetrating oil-based stains — formulated for the freeze-thaw and humidity conditions in the Greater Toronto Area. Expert Stain & Seal penetrates deeply into cedar and pressure-treated lumber rather than forming a film on top, so the finish renews with cleaning and recoating instead of requiring full stripping. For surface preparation we use commercial-grade percarbonate cleaners and oxalic-acid wood brighteners; for hardwood floor work we use commercial-grade polyurethane in oil-based or water-based formulations matched to your floor.

Took our 15 yr old front deck & made it look brand new again! Quick, efficient & when done cleaned up all supplies like they had never even been here! Definitely recommended & for sure will use this company again when its time to redo it!
Edward Hastings
Had an issue with my fence and deck. Another company told me I would have to replace it and it was beyond saving. So glad I got a second opinion. The guys at beaver wood saved both and it looks amazing. Company was very professional did what they said they would do and finished a full day before the deadline. Great company highly recommend them to all my family and friends. Before the problem gets bad reach out to the guys and they can save you a lot of trouble and money. That was surely the case with me.
Frequently Asked Questions
Cedar Roof Cleaning — Questions Toronto Homeowners Ask
Every 3 to 5 years for most GTA properties, more often if the roof is heavily shaded by tree canopy. Untreated moss and algae growth retains moisture against the shingle, accelerating decay and shortening roof life. Regular soft-washing can roughly double the service life of a cedar roof.
No. Pressure washing splits and lifts cedar shingles, voids most manufacturer warranties, and forces water under the shingle line where it causes leaks. Cedar roofs require soft washing — low pressure combined with a roof-safe chemical treatment that kills moss and algae and rinses cleanly without disturbing the shingles.
Yes, in almost every case. A post-clean preservative treatment (a clear or lightly tinted oil) restores moisture management and inhibits moss regrowth. Untreated cedar roofs in the GTA typically need recleaning within 18 months; treated roofs hold for the full 3-to-5-year cycle.
