Roof Cleaning: Moss Removal

Loving our Pacific NW comes with a little extra work. Lush and verdant, thick moss overtaking a roof can be picturesque. While it does give a house a fairy tale look, unfortunately that’s where its charm ends. In fact, if moss is uncontrolled IT WILL cause serious damage to your roof. When roof moss gets thick enough it holds moisture, crowds your shingles and shortens the lifespan of your roof dramatically!

Gutter Cleaning

Just as important as removing moss from your roof, so is keeping gutters clean and free of debris. Some of the benefits of making sure gutters are flowing nicely are:

1. Prevent water damage. When gutters and downspouts are blocked with leaves and debris, rainwater may not drain properly. As water overflows from gutters, it can cause water damage on both the interior and exterior of your home.
2. Protect your roof. Clogged gutters give rainwater nowhere to run. When water continues to flood over, it can leave rotten or a leaky roof in its wake.
3. Keep pests from causing trouble. Gutters clogged with leaves can make desirable homes for rodents, birds, and insects. The last thing you want is a pest infestation in your home!
4. Reduce the risk of a cracked foundation. When water is blocked from traveling away from your home, it can pool around the foundation of your house. This water can crack your foundation when it expands and freezes in the winter months.
5. Save you money. Gutter and downspout cleaning can help prevent unexpected and expensive projects down the road. Taking preventive measures now can help minimize the likelihood of having to repair or replace your roof.

Cedar Shakes Roof Cleaning

The key to maintaining a cedar shake roof is to keep it dry. What a task that is in the beautiful Pacific NW! But the fact remains, that after a rainfall, a cedar roof needs to dry out as quickly as possible. The shakes must be free of moss, fungus, debris (twigs, pine needles, leaves, etc.), or any other thing that can trap and hold moisture. Overhanging tree branches must be high enough to provide good air circulation above the roof.

Window Cleaning | Washing

Windows are the eyes of your home! Let’s keep them clean so you can look out and enjoy a better view. This will also allow more light into your home, uplifting your spirits and help you feel more awake. Let’s be honest, we need all the light we can get in our precious Pacific NW. Clean windows also boost your home’s curb appeal and value - this makes for a happy homeowner.

Pressure Washing | Soft Wash

Pressure washing your home is just as important as all other maintenance services. One of the biggest benefits of pressure washing your property is preserving the value. A home, particularly on its exterior, continually faces harsh natural and man-made elements such as wind, dust, dirt, rain, smoke, pollution and more. These elements take a toll on the home’s walls and exterior paint, and this can easily lower the value of your property if left unattended. Winter grime, mold, mildew, moss, algae, and stains can cause serious damage to your property if left unattended for a long time. Pressure washing helps you to easily get rid of all these elements without causing a huge impact on the environment like traditional cleaning methods.

Pressure washing helps to maintain the beauty of your property. Ugly stains, mold, mildew, dust and other kinds of elements can take away the spectacular appeal of your property. Pressure washing helps you to restore this beauty by reaching those far-fetched areas and taking out any type of dirt present. With pressure washing, your property’s exterior, driveway, and parking will be as good as new; impressing your guests and neighbors!
