North Vancouver takes more rain than almost anywhere else in Metro Vancouver, and it shows on building exteriors. Lower Lonsdale and the Shipyards carry marine exposure and salt spray; Lynn Valley and the upper District sit under dense canopy with constant drainage load.
Exterior glazing, pressure and soft washing, gutter and roof drainage clearing, and post-construction cleaning across the property types most common to this area.
Every quote we issue for this area is built around these local factors, because they drive access hours, method, and frequency more than glass area does.
On the North Shore we usually recommend pairing glazing visits with drainage clearing, because the crew is already on the roof with fall protection in place. Splitting the two into separate mobilisations pays for the same setup twice.
Timing matters: a late-autumn clearing after leaf fall and a spring pass after seed drop catch the two loads that actually block drains. A single mid-summer visit looks tidy and prevents nothing.
Bundling services into one mobilisation is materially cheaper than booking each separately.

Because the visible growth is only part of it — the root structure survives a plain water wash. A soft wash with a biocidal solution kills it at the root, which is why treated surfaces stay clear far longer than blasted ones.
Every downpipe is flush tested and photographed. Clearing the visible gutter while a downpipe stays blocked is the most common reason a building floods again a month after service.
Yes, and it is cheaper. The crew is already on the roof with anchors and fall protection set, so the marginal cost of the drainage work is far lower than a separate mobilisation.
