Meet Jeff and Ben
Both born and raised on the West Coast with backgrounds in real estate, construction and log home care. We have seen the cost of repairs first hand, insurance issues and waste in local landfills, which is why we believe so strongly in preventative protection rather than replacement. Every project we take on is done with care, pride in workmanship, and a passion for helping homeowners protect their biggest investment. Nano Guard is an authorized GoNano installer serving Vancouver Island and Kamloops in British Columbia. We specialize in protective nano coatings for roofs, concrete, wood and exterior surfaces. Our goal is simple. Help homeowners extend the life of what they already own, save money on costly replacements and reduce unnecessary waste heading to the landfill. A treated roof can last years longer, concrete walkways and driveways stay safer and more resilient, and wood structures get protection that keeps them looking sharp through the seasons, especially on the "Wet Coast" of British Columbia

Why Roofs on Vancouver Island Fail Faster Than You Think (And What You Can Do About It)
If you live on Vancouver Island, you already know we live in one of Canada’s wettest climates. What many homeowners do not realize is how dramatically this environment shortens the lifespan of their roof.
Between heavy rainfall, mild winters, coastal humidity, and dense tree cover, roofs in Victoria and across Vancouver Island are constantly exposed to moss, algae, and lichen growth. These biological organisms don’t just look bad, they actively break down roofing materials and shorten roof lifespan. Our products significantly inhibit this growth!
How Wet Coastal Climates Damage Roofs
Asphalt shingles are designed to shed water, not hold it. In rainforest-like conditions:
-
Moss retains moisture against shingles
-
Algae feeds on limestone fillers in asphalt
-
Lichen physically anchors into shingle surfaces
Over time, this causes shingles to remain damp for longer periods, accelerating deterioration and granule loss. Industry studies estimate that roofs in high-moisture climates can lose 25–40% of their expected lifespan compared to drier regions.
The Hidden Problem With Traditional Roof Demossing
Many homeowners turn to pressure washing or aggressive scraping to remove moss. Unfortunately, this often does more harm than good.
Pressure washing and harsh mechanical cleaning:
-
Strips away protective asphalt granules
-
Exposes the fiberglass mat beneath
-
Reduces UV protection
-
Shortens roof life by years
According to the Asphalt Roofing Manufacturers Association (ARMA), granule loss is one of the leading causes of premature shingle failure.
A Smarter Approach to Roof Protection
Instead of repeatedly damaging your roof through aggressive cleaning, modern roof treatment solutions focus on preservation rather than removal.
Nano Guard uses advanced GoNano roof treatment technology to:
-
Inhibit moss, algae, and lichen growth
-
Reduce moisture retention
-
Protect shingle integrity
-
Extend roof lifespan without abrasion
This approach is especially effective for roofs in Victoria, Nanaimo, Duncan, Parksville, Nanaimo, Qualicum, Port Alberni, Courtenay, Comox, Campbell River, and coastal Vancouver Island communities where biological growth is constant.
Millions of nano particles.
A formidable technology.
GoNano is NOT a surface coating that wears away — it’s a penetrating treatment that chemically strengthens roofing materials from within.

Backed by independent certifications, university studies, and millions in R&D. Our nano coating solution consists of nano particles that transform the molecular structure of materials to modify permanently their properties, enhance their resistance and extend their lifespan by 10 to 15 years.
