Roof Maintenance in Burnaby – Extend the Life of Your Roof


Importance of Regular Roof Maintenance

Moss & algae love Burnaby.

 Our cool, damp marine air plus shaded lots (hello, tall cedars) make perfect conditions for growth. Moss acts like a sponge: it holds water against shingles and cedar, lifts edges, widens nail holes, and slows drying after every storm. Algae (those dark streaks) warms the roof surface and feeds moss. The fix is steady, gentle care—not harsh pressure washing. Trim back overhanging branches, schedule soft-clean treatments, and consider copper/zinc control strips near the ridge. For asphalt, choose algae-resistant shingles at replacement; for cedar, plan seasonal debris sweeping and light moss suppression so shakes can breathe and dry.

Gutters & drainage keep the whole system honest.

When gutters clog, water has to go somewhere—usually back into the eaves, soffits, and wall cavities, or straight over the edge to your foundation. In Burnaby’s heavy rain, that means fascia rot, ice-edge staining in cold snaps, and surprise leaks at interior corners. Keep valleys, scuppers, and downspouts clear; confirm drip edge and kick-out flashing are present so water isn’t driven behind siding. If trees are relentless, add quality guards and commit to a fall + spring clean. On low-slope sections, clear drains after every major wind event and check for ponding at seams.

A little, often beats a lot, late. Routine moss control and clean, free-flowing gutters can add years to your roof’s life, preserve warranties, and prevent the kind of hidden moisture that turns small problems into big repairs.

Our Roof Maintenance Services in Burnaby

PARAGON ROOFING BC - PERFECTION IN ROOFING

Keep small issues small. Our Burnaby-focused maintenance visits are built for our wet, moss-friendly climate and those needle-bomb storms. We work gently, document everything, and tune your roof so it drains and dries the way it should.

Moss removal & treatment (soft + smart).

• No pressure washing—ever. We use soft-brush agitation to lift moss and lichen without tearing granules or raising cedar grain.
• Eco-sensible treatments. Targeted biocides that keep growth from returning, calibrated to your roofing type (asphalt, cedar, metal, synthetic).
• Preventive options. Copper/zinc control at ridges, shaded-area touch-ups, and airflow tweaks so the roof dries faster after rain.
• Before/after photos. You’ll see exactly what we removed and where we treated.

Gutter & drainage cleaning (flow > everything).

• Full clean & flush. Scoops, rinse, and downspout flow test—including elbows that love to clog with fir needles.
• Valleys & scuppers cleared. We sweep leaf traps that cause backsplash under shingles and eaves.
• Edge integrity check. Drip edge, kick-out flashing, and fascia condition so water goes away from walls and foundation.
• Optional guards. Recommendations that actually work for your tree mix (cedar, fir, maple).

Minor repairs during the visit (fast fixes, real value).

• Asphalt: reseal lifted tabs, set nail pops, replace a handful of damaged shingles, tidy exposed sealant.
• Cedar: swap cracked shakes, reset loose ridge pieces, secure slipped hip caps, spot-fix underlayment at small openings.
• Metal: replace aged washers on exposed fasteners, tighten or swap loose screws, re-seat closures, touch up minor finish nicks.
• Flashing & vents: re-bed small flashing laps, refresh vent gaskets, clear and reseal skylight curbs where needed.
• Documentation: a simple punch-list of what we fixed now and what to budget for later.

Safety & cleanup, always. Fall protection on every job, tarps where needed, and a magnet sweep for nails. We leave your site cleaner than we found it.

Schedule options that fit Burnaby weather.

• Storm-prep (Fall): debris + gutters + quick tune-up before the first atmospheric river.
• Spring reset: post-rain moss check, gutter flush, and small repairs after winter winds.
• Annual plans: bundle visits for lower cost and priority scheduling.

Seasonal Roof Maintenance Plans



Make roof care automatic. Our seasonal plans are built for Burnaby’s wet winters, wind bursts, and moss-friendly shade. We schedule, we show up, we document—so you don’t have to think about it.

Annual packages for Burnaby homeowners

Essentials (1 visit/year)

• One comprehensive tune-up (you pick spring or fall)
• Moss/lichen spot treatment (soft methods only—no pressure washing)
• Gutter & downspout clean/flush + valley clearing
• Minor repairs on the spot (loose tabs, nail pops, a few cracked shakes, aging vent seals)
• Photo report + priority repair pricing if we find anything bigger

Standard (2 visits/year)

• Spring reset + Fall storm-prep (see timing below)
• Proactive moss suppression in shade belts
• Full drainage service both visits (gutters, leaders, scuppers, valleys)
• Sealant touch-ups, small flashing fixes, exposed-fastener checks (metal)
• Attic quick-look at accessible hatches (moisture/ventilation red flags)
• Year-round phone/text support for weather events

Premium (2 visits/year + extras)

• Everything in Standard
• Extra moss control cycle for heavily treed lots
• Skylight curb/flash review each visit
• Extended minor-repair allowance (more shingle/cedar swaps, more fastener service on metal)
• Priority storm-call response after major wind/rain systems

Strata/HOA options available: stacked pricing for multiple units/buildings and consolidated photo reports for council files.

Recommended timing (spring/fall)

• Spring Reset (March–May): Clear winter debris, flush gutters/downspouts, check for wind-lifted shingles or shaken cedar, refresh moss control, and confirm attic ventilation is still breathing after insulation shifts. This keeps early-season rains from finding winter’s weak spots.
• Fall Storm-Prep (September–November): Deep clean of gutters/valleys before leaf-drop, re-secure loose bits, reseal small flashing laps/vent gaskets, and moss suppression ahead of the long wet. This is your “no surprises” pass before atmospheric rivers roll in.

How it works: We set your cadence, send reminders, work safely (full fall protection), handle cleanup (magnet sweep for nails), and deliver a clear photo report with a simple to-do list and budget notes. You can cancel or pause anytime.

Cost Savings of Proactive Maintenance



Spend a little now, skip the big bill later. In Burnaby’s rainy, moss-friendly climate, small issues become expensive fast. Proactive tune-ups catch them while they’re cheap.

Preventing leaks & premature replacements

• Stop “$50 problems” from becoming $5,000 repairs. A lifted shingle, cracked vent boot, or clogged valley is a quick fix today—and the usual cause of ceiling stains, wet insulation, and drywall replacement tomorrow.
• Protect the deck. Keeping gutters/valleys clear and fasteners/flashings tight prevents chronic wetting that rots plywood. Every sheet you don’t replace is money you keep.
• Stretch roof life. Routine moss control and minor repairs routinely buy extra years before a full reroof. Pushing replacement from, say, year 18 to year 22 spreads that big expense over more seasons.
• Warranty friendly. Many manufacturer and workmanship warranties require basic maintenance. Staying on a schedule helps keep coverage intact if you ever need it.

Reducing insurance risks (and surprises)

• Fewer claims, steadier premiums. Avoiding preventable leaks means fewer claims on your record—important for keeping premiums from creeping up and preserving any claims-free discounts.
• Deductible avoidance. A typical maintenance visit often costs less than an insurance deductible—and without the hassle, paperwork, or risk of future surcharges.
• Lower secondary losses. Quick fixes prevent the expensive cascade: saturated insulation → mold remediation → flooring/cabinet damage.
• Documentation that helps. After each visit, you get photos and notes. If a storm ever does cause damage, that maintenance history can strengthen your claim by proving you took reasonable care.

A quick reality check (rules of thumb)

• One routine visit can avoid a single leak event that triggers interior repairs, mold mitigation, or sheathing replacement.
• Keeping water moving (clean gutters/valleys) and stopping wind-lift (tight edges/flashings) are the two cheapest actions with the biggest payoff in Burnaby’s climate.
