Nanoose Bay Roof Cleaning
Nanoose Bay is not one place. It is a run of named pockets along a broken shoreline, plus a single 1,300-acre golf-course development holding roughly seven hundred homes. A roof out on an exposed point and a roof under fairway conifer have almost nothing in common.
Local Conditions in Nanoose Bay
Seven Hundred Homes on a Golf Course, and the Trees Got There First
The largest single thing in Nanoose Bay is Fairwinds — roughly 700 homes on a 1,300-acre property bought in 1981 and built around an 18-hole golf course and the Schooner Cove Marina, with zoning approval for about 2,100 more home sites on 750 acres still undeveloped. That produces two quite different roofs a few streets apart. The established fairway lots sit under planting now well above roof height, so they take a steady fall of needles and hold shade through the day, which is precisely what moss needs. The newer lots have landscaping still below their own rooflines and very little of that. Away from Fairwinds it changes again: the shoreline breaks into coves and points rather than one beach — Arab Cove, Tyee Cove, Cottam Point, Madrona Point — and a roof out on an exposed point is a weather problem rather than a shade one.
- Straits Lumber Mill ran from 1912 to 1942 at what is now the Red Gap ghost town, and a brick plant operated at Brickyard Cove from 1911
- The Canadian Forces Maritime Experimental Test Range has operated in the bay since 1965
- Moorecroft Regional Park, Beachcomber Regional Park and the Qualicum National Wildlife Area all sit inside the area

Commonly Asked
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.
