House Washing for Nanoose Bay Homes
Nanoose Bay is the one place on this list where a four-lane divided arterial runs through the settlement rather than around it. A wall near that road has a different problem from a wall four minutes away in the trees, and it wants a different answer.
Why Nanoose Bay Is Its Own Problem
Roadside Walls and Everything Else
Highway 19A runs south-east through Nanoose Bay and Lantzville as a four-lane divided arterial with five signal lights and many at-grade intersections, so a good deal of property here fronts a working road rather than a residential street. Roadside elevations pick up road film — fine, grey, bonded, and quite unlike the green that grows on a shaded wall. It sits on the surface rather than in it and comes off with a solution and a low-pressure rinse, but it has to be recognised first, because treating it as algae means watching it not shift. Away from the corridor the picture is ordinary for this coast: seaward walls out on the coves and points take salt, and walls set back among the trees hold the organic film that shade always produces. Three conditions, one method, different dwell times — which is why the road is worth mentioning when describing a property.
- Unincorporated — governed by the Regional District of Nanaimo rather than by a municipality
- The shoreline breaks into small coves and points — Arab Cove, Tyee Cove, Cottam Point, Madrona Point — rather than one continuous beach
- Fairwinds is roughly 700 homes on a 1,300-acre property built around an 18-hole golf course and Schooner Cove Marina

House Washing Questions
It is a different kind of property rather than a different kind of work. Fairwinds is about 700 homes on a 1,300-acre property built around an 18-hole golf course and Schooner Cove Marina, and it carries zoning approval for roughly 2,100 more home sites on 750 acres still undeveloped — so newly built lots and long-established ones sit close together, and the planting around the older fairway lots is well above roof height. That decides most of it. A lot sitting under mature conifer collects needles year round, and its roof and gutters run on a shorter cycle than a new lot whose landscaping is still below the roofline.
