ProCare Halifax Client Reviews
ProCare Halifax reviews from homeowners and businesses
“I had an excellent experience with JJ at ProCare. He removed all the moss on my roof, had it treated, and cleaned the exterior including all the windows. He went above and beyond and cleaned the steps and driveway as well. He was easy to communicate with, timely, and did a fantastic job. The house looks immaculate, I would absolutely use ProCare again, and would recommend them to anyone looking for this service.”
Brady Crewe
Halifax, NS
“We are so pleased with the work that JJ did for us. He power-washed the driveway and front sidewalk and soft-washed our house. It has a combo of composite, vinyl siding and brick and came out looking brand new. The solution he uses for the soft-wash also cleaned our exterior windows and screens so we didn’t have to pay for an extra window washing service! He also gave us great advice on how to inexpensively control the growth of moss on our retaining walls and patio pavers. Great guy! We’re so happy with the service.”
Scott Pichette

JJ and his colleague Blake did a first class job on our roof (moss removal), gutters, deck railing etc. Speedy responses with accurate quotation, professional approach employing state of the art safety equipment and protocols, flexible, courteous and prompt communication……all in all a first class job.

Common exterior cleaning questions
FAQs
How much does roof cleaning cost in Halifax?
Professional roof cleaning in Halifax typically costs between $350 and $850, depending on the roof’s size, pitch, access and level of growth. Smaller roofs with lighter buildup generally fall near the lower end, while steep roofs, complex rooflines and established moss or lichen require more time and treatment.
Every complete ProCare Halifax roof wash includes complimentary gutter cleaning and a 2-year limited warranty.
Is soft washing safe for asphalt shingles?
Yes. ProCare Halifax uses a controlled, low-pressure roof wash treatment rather than aggressive pressure washing. The treatment strength and use of surfactants are adjusted based on the condition of the shingles and whether we are treating black streaks, moss, lichen or a combination of growth. We never scrape established moss or lichen from asphalt shingles.
How often should I have my roof cleaned in Halifax?
How often a roof needs cleaning depends on several factors, including how close the property is to the ocean, the amount of shade from nearby trees, and local weather conditions. Some Halifax roofs require more frequent cleaning, while others can go much longer between washes.
ProCare Halifax includes a 2-year limited warranty and complimentary gutter cleaning with roof wash.
Tree and branch trimming, including debris disposal, is also available as an add-on to roof cleaning.
How long does it take moss to come off after a roof wash?
Loose moss may be gently rolled away during the roof wash, but established moss should never be scraped from shingles. After treatment and a low-pressure, high-volume rinse, any remaining moss typically releases naturally over the following four to six weeks.
We explain what to expect for your roof in our free estimates.
How do you remove pigeons and stop them from returning?
Cleaning pigeon droppings alone will not stop pigeons from returning. ProCare cleans droppings, nests and contaminated exterior surfaces before installing netting, exclusion or deterrent systems selected for the property.
We stand behind our pigeon control work within the areas outlined in your quote. This gives you one company for both the cleanup and the ongoing control of the problem.
Can ProCare Halifax clean up rodent contamination and control mice or rats?
Yes. ProCare provides rodent cleanup and certified pest control, so you do not need separate companies to clean the affected area and manage the infestation.
Rodent control often requires follow-up rather than a single visit. We assess activity and entry points, establish a control plan and offer recurring monitoring for properties that require regular inspections and adjustments.
What is included with paver cleaning, sanding and sealing?
The required work depends on the condition of the pavers and whether they have been sealed previously. A complete service can include surface cleaning, removal of organic buildup, joint re-sanding and application of a protective sealer.
We assess the pavers, drainage, existing joint sand and previous coatings before confirming what the project requires.
Does sealing pavers prevent weeds from returning?
Paver sealing can help stabilize joint sand and reduce the conditions that allow weeds to establish, but it cannot permanently prevent weeds from returning. Seeds can settle into the joints from above, especially near lawns, gardens and trees.
Proper cleaning, joint preparation and sealing provide better long-term results, but ongoing maintenance may still be required.
