Services
Roof Cleaning
Our professional roof cleaning service removes algae, moss, and debris using low-pressure techniques that preserve shingle integrity. We employ environmentally safe solutions that eliminate organic growth while protecting surrounding landscaping. This maintenance process extends roof lifespan by preventing moisture damage and structural deterioration caused by persistent plant growth.
Moss Removal
Specialized moss removal addresses existing growth through manual brushing and chemical treatment. Our technicians carefully extract moss from shingle crevices to prevent water infiltration while applying preventative solutions that inhibit regrowth. This service protects against roof rot and extends the lifespan of roofing materials in Portland's damp climate.
Moss Treatment
Post-removal moss treatment involves application of zinc sulfate solutions that create inhospitable conditions for regrowth. We install copper strips at roof peaks to create natural moss barriers while treating surfaces with long-lasting chemical inhibitors. This comprehensive approach prevents future infestations and maintains roof integrity between maintenance cycles.
Pressure Washing
Exterior pressure washing services restore siding, driveways, and patios to like-new condition using calibrated equipment that removes grime without surface damage. Our technicians adjust pressure levels for different materials, effectively eliminating built-up residue from concrete, wood, and vinyl surfaces while preserving their structural integrity.
Gutter Cleaning
Professional gutter cleaning removes debris buildup that obstructs water flow and causes foundation damage. Using commercial-grade tools, we clear leaves, twigs, and sediment from gutter systems while inspecting for structural issues. This service prevents water damage to roofing and foundation elements through comprehensive drainage system maintenance.
