I’m pleased to now offer GoNano surface protection as part of my services here in East Sooke and the surrounding area. As one of the only local providers of this technology on this side of Vancouver Island, I can apply a treatment designed to extend the life of many common exterior building materials — including wood decks and stairs, siding, concrete, masonry.
Our coastal climate is hard on buildings. Moisture, UV exposure, and seasonal temperature swings slowly break down surfaces over time. GoNano works at a microscopic level to help repel water and reduce environmental deterioration, slowing the aging process of the materials already in place.
This service isn’t limited to new construction. It can be applied to existing decks, staircases, roofs, fences, concrete walkways, and other exterior surfaces that homeowners want to protect and preserve. Whether you’ve hired me for a build or simply want to extend the life of what you already have, this treatment can stand alone as a preventative investment.
The environmental impact is equally important. Every board, fastener, and cubic yard of concrete represents raw materials, manufacturing energy, and transportation. Sustainability isn’t only about producing greener materials — it’s about reducing replacement cycles. The most responsible material is the one that lasts. By extending service life, we help reduce waste and keep usable materials out of the landfill.
Additional information is available at gonano.com. If you’re curious whether this treatment is suitable for your roof, deck, siding, or other exterior surfaces, I’m happy to discuss how it works and how I apply it.
What Is GoNano Coating Technology?
GoNano coating technology is a state-of-the-art surface treatment powered by nanotechnology — the science of working at the molecular level to enhance material performance. This ultra-fine coating bonds invisibly to surfaces like wood, concrete, and asphalt shingles, creating a hydrophobic (water- repellent), UV-resistant, and dirt-shedding barrier.
Unlike traditional sealers or stains that can fade or flake over time, GoNano forms a deep-penetrating, breathable protective layer that:
● Repels water, dirt, and oil
● Inhibits mould, moss, and algae growth
● Reduces cracking, rot, and UV damage
● Preserves the look and structure of your surfaces
● Extends the life of your roof, fence, deck, or driveway
GoNano technology is non-toxic, biodegradable, and safe for pets, people, and the planet — making it the ideal solution for Vancouver Island homes.
Why Vancouver Island Homeowners Trust NanoShield Surface Solutions
The beauty of Vancouver Island is undeniable, but so is the wear and tear it puts on your property. Moisture, moss, UV rays, salt air, and temperature swings all contribute to faster surface degradation. From the misty mornings of Mill Bay to the coastal winds of Campbell River, we understand the unique needs of Island homes. That’s why we’ve built our business around one goal: long-term protection with zero compromise.
Surfaces We Protect With GoNano Coating Technology:
1. Asphalt Shingle Roofs
If your roof is constantly battling moss, algae, or moisture buildup, you’re not alone. Asphalt shingles are porous, and Vancouver Island’s damp climate makes them highly vulnerable to biological growth and breakdown.
Our GoNano Roof Treatment:
● Forms an invisible, water-repelling shield
● Inhibits moss, algae, and lichen growth without harmful chemicals
● Extends roof lifespan and maintains structural integrity
● Helps avoid costly repairs and premature replacement
Whether you're in Ladysmith or Langford, our eco-safe application won’t damage landscaping or pollute rainwater runoff — making it a smart, sustainable choice.
2. Wooden Fences and Decks
Your deck and fencing are major features of your outdoor space, but UV rays, rain, and frost can quickly dull and degrade untreated wood.
NanoShield’s GoNano Wood Protection:
● Penetrates deep into wood grain to block moisture absorption
● Prevents cracking, warping, and wood rot
● Preserves natural colour while resisting fading and greying
● Keeps your outdoor living space looking fresh year-round
Perfect for everything from cedar decks in East sooke on the coast to pressure-treated fences in Comox Valley, this treatment is a must-have for long-term curb appeal.
3. Concrete and Cement Surfaces
Driveways, patios, sidewalks, and stairs take a daily beating from weather and foot traffic. Cement is naturally porous and prone to mould, stains, and surface spalling.
NanoShield’s GoNano Concrete Coating:
● Blocks water and salt from entering the concrete
● Resists moss, mildew, and freeze-thaw cracking
● Prevents efflorescence and surface pitting
● Makes ongoing maintenance easier and less frequent
Especially useful in Campbell River and Mill Bay, where freeze cycles and coastal salt can damage unprotected concrete within just a few seasons.
Benefits of GoNano Coating for Your Home
GoNano coatings can last 2-15 years depending on which GoNono treatment is used, giving you peace of mind and real value.
Say goodbye to constant pressure washing, re-staining, or moss removal. Your surfaces stay cleaner for longer.
GoNano products are water-based, solvent-free, and non-toxic — safe for your yard, pets, and the environment.
Avoid the high cost of early repairs or replacements. One GoNano treatment can add years to the life of your roof or deck.
The coating is 100% transparent and doesn’t change the look or feel of your surfaces — no shine, no film, just natural beauty.
