At Quick Sidekick, we don’t just clean roofs — we preserve homes. And this job in West Vancouver was a perfect example of that. I’m Nelson, one of the techs on the team, and this summer, I got a referral call from a past client named Juju. She told her neighbor, a homeowner with a large tile-roof home in the area, to call us for a roof and gutter check-up. Turns out, it was overdue.
Why This Home Needed Work — and Fast
The house was a two-and-a-half-level home with a tile roof — beautiful, but prone to moss build-up if not maintained. From the ground, you could already see black streaks and patches of moss growing near the gutters. When we got up close, it was clear: if we didn’t clean it now, there would be real damage within a few months.
What We Did: Full Roof & Gutter Combo + Free Window Cleaning
We started with a full brush roof cleaning — no pressure washing here, especially on tile. We use specialized brushes to gently but thoroughly remove moss and debris from each tile. This process takes longer than pressure washing but protects the roof’s structure and extends its life.
Then we moved on to gutter cleaning. Debris was clogging several sections, and one downspout was almost completely blocked. We cleaned out the full interior and flushed the system so it would flow properly again — something that’s essential in rainy West Vancouver.
Because the homeowner booked both services together, she qualified for our combo deal — and we threw in free window cleaning .
Why Summer Is the Smart Time to Book
Most homeowners wait until fall to think about their roofs or gutters — but by then, they’re already dealing with overflow, leaks, or even internal water damage.
Now is the time. It’s dry. The moss is brittle. The gutters can be fully flushed without new debris collecting overnight.
At Quick Sidekick, we always recommend scheduling exterior maintenance in July or August — especially if you own a tile, cedar, or older roof in Vancouver.
Tip: Prevent costly fall repairs — book your roof and gutter cleaning combo now and get free exterior window cleaning.
A Personal Referral — and a Happy Homeowner
The homeowner told me she trusted us because of Juju’s experience last year. That trust matters. And because she paid by e-transfer right after the job was done, we were able to send her a follow-up checklist and photos the same day.
We’re not just cleaning houses — we’re building a community of well-maintained homes and trusted relationships.
Why You Shouldn’t Delay Moss or Gutter Cleaning
Moss doesn’t just look bad. It traps moisture, lifts tiles, and breaks down roofing material. Combined with clogged gutters, it becomes the perfect storm — especially with Vancouver’s rain-heavy fall and winter.
If you’re in Vancouver, Burnaby, or Richmond — and especially if you have a tile or cedar roof — now is your moment to act.
Don’t wait for the damage. Protect your home’s value before the rainy season hits.
