Four Core Services
For Vancouver Homes
Vancouver roofs take a beating. Seven months of rain, shaded north-facing slopes, and cedar and fir needles filling gutters year-round. We built our services to protect your property, prevent costly issues, and keep it looking its best.
Moss Removal
Moss lifts your shingles and traps water against the roof deck, which is how small problems turn into rot. We take it off by hand, across the whole slope rather than just the parts that have gone visibly green.
Roof moss removal in Vancouver →02Roof Restoration
Refurbishment, repair and patching for roofs that have life left in them. We fix cracked and lifted shingles, seal problem flashings and clean the surface so your roof keeps doing its job for years longer.
Roof restoration and repair →03Gutter Cleaning
Clogged gutters push water into your fascia, soffits and foundation, and Vancouver drops enough needles and leaves to clog them twice a year. We clear them by hand and flush the downspouts.
Gutter cleaning and repair →04Pressure Washing
Driveways, walkways, patios, decks and siding get the right pressure for the surface, never more. Concrete can take real pressure. Siding and older wood cannot. Roofs never see a pressure wand at all.

Why Vancouver
Homeowners Call Us Back
Plenty of companies will clean your roof once. The difference shows up a year later, when you find out whether the work actually held.
We Clear the Whole Roof, Not Just the Green Parts
Moss can spread across an entire slope long before it becomes visible. The quick approach is to remove only what looks green, but that often means it returns by spring. We treat the full surface, including early-stage growth, using hand tools and non-abrasive brushes to remove moss thoroughly while protecting your shingle granules.
Hand Removal, Not a Chemical Soft Wash
Many companies rely on chemical soft washing to treat moss, but these treatments primarily kill the visible growth without physically removing it. We take a different approach: removing moss by hand rather than relying on harsh chemicals. It is more labour-intensive, but gentler on your roof and safer for your pets, gardens, and surrounding environment, without leaving chemical residue or dead moss behind.
The Owner Quotes Every Single Job
Devin personally assesses every property. He looks at the roof slope, shade, gutter condition, and water flow to understand what actually needs to be done, and what does not.
Sometimes the right recommendation is to wait. You will get an honest assessment based on your property, not a sales pitch.
Covered, Insured and Verifiable
We carry full liability insurance and WorkSafeBC coverage #201284832. Hiring an uncovered contractor can leave homeowners exposed if a worker is injured on their property.
Before anyone climbs your ladder, ask for their WorkSafeBC number and verify their coverage. Ours is right here, you can check it in about two minutes.

Serving Vancouver
And Metro Vancouver
We are based in New Westminster and work across the Lower Mainland. Every part of Metro Vancouver gets the same rain, but moss behaves differently depending on tree cover, elevation and how much sun a roof actually sees.
North Vancouver
Heavy tree cover and North Shore rainfall make this the hardest area in Metro Vancouver for moss.
Coquitlam
Mature cedars and firs mean gutters fill fast and shaded roofs hold moisture well into spring.
South Surrey
Larger lots and long rooflines need a full assessment, not a quick quote over the phone.
Burnaby
Post-war homes and newer builds, most with asphalt shingle roofs that moss is happy to take over.
We also serve New Westminster, Delta, Langley, Port Moody, Port Coquitlam, Richmond, West Vancouver and Surrey. Somewhere else in the Lower Mainland? Call and ask.
Answers Before
You Pick Up The Phone
What areas of Vancouver and the Lower Mainland do you serve?
Wells Property Services is based in New Westminster, BC and serves Vancouver and Metro Vancouver. Our main service areas are Vancouver, North Vancouver, Coquitlam, South Surrey and Burnaby, and we also regularly work in New Westminster, Delta, Langley, Port Moody, Port Coquitlam, Richmond, West Vancouver and Surrey. Most of the Lower Mainland is within our normal travel range.
If you are not sure whether your address is covered, call (778) 906-3757 and ask. We will tell you straight away rather than sending someone out and adding a travel charge later.
How does pricing work, and are quotes free?
Quotes are free and there is no obligation. Devin Wells, the owner, comes to the property personally and assesses it before giving you a number. Pricing depends on roof size, pitch, access, how much moss or debris is present, and the height of the building.
That is why we do not publish flat rates or quote over the phone from an address alone. You receive a written, itemized quote, usually within 24 hours of the visit, and the price is fixed. If we discover something unexpected during the work, we stop and call you before doing anything that would change the cost.
How long will the roof stay clear after you clean it?
In Metro Vancouver, most roofs we clear properly hold for two to four years before they need looking at again, and the interval depends almost entirely on tree cover and sun exposure. A shaded north slope under cedars in North Vancouver moves faster than an open lot with afternoon sun. What makes the difference is whether the whole slope was cleared or only the visibly green sections, because growth that is still establishing is invisible from the ground and it is what fills the roof back in by the following spring. Devin will give you a realistic interval for your specific roof when he assesses it.
Are you insured and covered by WorkSafeBC?
Yes. Wells Property Services carries active WorkSafeBC coverage under account number 201284832, and we are fully insured with liability coverage. This matters more than most homeowners realise.
If a contractor without WorkSafeBC coverage is injured on your property, you can be exposed to significant liability as the property owner. Before you let anyone put a ladder against your house, ask for their WorkSafeBC number and verify it. Ours is listed openly and can be checked through WorkSafeBC directly.
When is the best time of year to have moss removed in Vancouver?
Late spring through early fall is ideal. Vancouver's rainy season sets in around mid-October and runs through April, and that is when moss grows most aggressively, particularly on north-facing slopes and roofs shaded by cedars and firs. Getting moss removed before the rain arrives means the roof goes into the wet season clean.
That said, we work year round and moss removal in winter is still worthwhile if your roof needs it. Gutter cleaning is different. We recommend it twice a year here, because needle drop from cedar and fir continues all year.
Do you replace roofs or install new shingles?
No. We do roof refurbishment, repair and patching only. That covers replacing cracked or lifted individual shingles, sealing and repairing flashing, addressing problem spots and cleaning the roof surface so the existing roof lasts as long as it should.
We do not do full roof replacements or reshingling. If we get up on your roof and find it genuinely needs replacing, we will tell you honestly and refer you to a partner roofer we trust. We would rather send you to the right person than sell you a repair that will not solve the problem.
