The Uxbridge rental market angle
Landlord moss treatment DIY on rental units in Uxbridge voids most policies and shifts full liability to the owner under RTA §20. Not worth it.
What you can safely DIY
Visual inspection with a flashlight, exterior debris clearing from the cap area (from a stable ladder, not the roof), and photo-documentation of concerns. That's the safe list.
What needs a pro
Anything requiring roof access, working chemicals or sealants, disturbing masonry, disassembling the appliance, or interpreting a scan. The insurance and liability exposure on DIY moss treatment is disproportionate to the cost savings.

Do you service condos and heritage homes in Uxbridge?
Yes. Condo boards in Uxbridge typically want a scope letter and insurance certificate 48 hours out; heritage properties need product substitutions we pre-source.
Do you need a permit for moss treatment in Uxbridge?

What if it rains or snows on the booking day?
Roof-side work reschedules to the next dry window at no charge. Interior scopes (firebox, damper, appliance) proceed regardless.
