A Maintenance Job the Portland Climate Actually Requires

Roof and gutter maintenance isn't optional cosmetic upkeep here — it's structural insurance. The metro's tree canopy (fir, maple, oak, depending on the neighborhood) drops needles and leaves nearly year-round, and the extended damp season keeps moss growing on shaded roof slopes long after drier climates would see it dry out and stop spreading. Left unaddressed, both problems compound: moss lifts shingles and holds moisture against the roof deck, while clogged gutters overflow and send water where it doesn't belong — down fascia boards, behind siding, or pooling at the foundation.

We time this work for maximum impact: cleaning in early fall, right before the heaviest rain arrives, so your roof and gutters are doing their job when they're needed most.

Signs You're Overdue

  • Visible moss or dark streaking on the roof, especially shaded north-facing slopes
  • Gutters overflowing or sagging during heavy rain
  • Water stains on fascia boards or siding below the gutter line
  • Plants growing in the gutters themselves
  • It's been over a year since the last cleaning

Our Roof & Gutter Cleaning Process

  1. Inspect the roof and gutters. We check for moss coverage, gutter clogs, and any early signs of damage.
  2. Remove moss and debris from the roof. Cleared without damaging shingles.
  3. Clear the gutters and downspouts. Debris removed so water flows freely.
  4. Check downspout drainage. We confirm water is actually draining away from the foundation.
  5. Clean up. Debris hauled away, not left in your yard or beds.

What Affects the Cost

Roof size and pitch, how much tree cover your property has, and how long it's been since the last cleaning all factor into the price — a roof that's gone several years without maintenance takes longer to clear than one on a regular annual schedule. We'll give you a real number based on your property.

Frequently Asked Questions

How often should gutters be cleaned in the Portland area?
At least once a year, ideally in early fall before the rainy season starts, and a second time in late winter if your property has heavy tree cover. Homes shaded by fir, maple, or oak trees — common throughout the metro — clog faster than homes on more open lots.
Why is roof moss such a problem here?
Moss thrives in the shaded, damp conditions common on Portland-area roofs, especially north-facing slopes and homes under tree canopy. Left alone, moss holds moisture against the roofing material and can lift shingles, shortening the roof's life well before it would otherwise need replacement.
What happens if I skip gutter cleaning for a year or more?
Clogged gutters overflow during heavy rain, and that water often ends up running down the fascia board or foundation instead of through the downspout — which is how gutter neglect turns into a fascia rot or foundation moisture problem, both more expensive to fix than the cleaning would have been.
Do you remove moss from the roof itself, not just the gutters?
Yes — roof and gutter cleaning are usually done together, since moss on the roof surface is what ends up washing into and clogging the gutters below.
Is gutter cleaning safe for my roof and landscaping?
We clear debris without damaging shingles or gutters, and clean up afterward so debris doesn't end up in your yard or landscaping beds.
