BEST IN TOWN!! HANDS DOWN
I have used them for years as well as my family and friends and EVERY time have felt we got MORE than what we paid for. They are efficient, reliable, affordable, and do an AMAZING job! Many times they have gone above and beyond the job requirements and are impeccable when it comes to customer service and satisfaction. Tim the owner even came to my house and fixed 2 screens for me that were not even part of the job (which was pressure washing the siding and roof and removing moss). I will ONLY ever use Gleaming The View and would recommend them highly to anyone...including my mother, who uses their services exclusively for herself and her real estate clients!! GREAT JOB!! THANK YOU ;o)

roof cleaning alohaThis roof cleaning project in Aloha, Or. doesn't surprise me one bit.  The roof and gutters had been left unattended for 6 years.

As you can see in this picture the gutters are starting to rust out and what condition the composition asphalt roof is in is yet to be discovered.  The quote and scope is reasonable and straight forward on this type project. 

We want to see if the roof and gutters will hold up another 5 years. So, We will simply blow and brush the debris from the roof and scoop and flush the gutter system looking for leaks.  After that we can see whats going on under there.

This type of maintenance is so important to do at least on an annual basis it will save you thousands in not having to replace your roof every 10 years.

Leaf Clutter on a Mossy Roof / SW PDX PDF Print E-mail

leaf clutter on a mossy roof
This SW Portland home has been under bombardment this past couple weeks by there giant Oak tree.  Luckily this is a tree that drops its foliage once a year with occasional egg corns & twigs.  This project to clean the roof of leaf clutter simply entails bringing the blowers up, blowing the leaf debris into piles and cleaning out the gutters.
The real problem here is this moss that has accumulated over the years do to the giant Oaks constant shade and roofs shallow pitch.  The age and condition of the roof poses some challenges to make it look good right away.  The only option with out causing harm to the roof is treating the asphalt composition roof with a moss treatment / inhibitor, to kill the moss and keep it under control.  This practice is common and highly suggested especially with older roofs.
Once the leafs are cleaned off, gutters cleaned out and moss treated, a return trip is necessary a few months later to ensure the moss is dying and not cluttering the downspouts.

moss on tile roof
Yes I know exactly what your thinking! That is really a tile roof under there"!    Moss from what I've seen first hand is not really that bad for tile roofs.  In this case the moss has completely consumed it though so, I am highly suggesting to the building owner to have us clean and maintain it a little more frequently!
My recommended cleaning method is;
1.  Blow, sweep and hand remove all moss.
2.  Clean out all gutters and downspouts, making sure the system is functioning properly.
3.  Pre-spray tile 1 section at a time letting dwell 15-20 minutes with a cleaning solution..
4.   Pressure rinse roof tile clean
5.  Although not in the quote, Im going to go ahead and clean the gutter fascia (outsides of the gutters) for them as well.
6.  A grounds clean up will be performed during and after the project.
Theres going to be a pile of moss 10 ft. high when were done with this!  Any body need moss?
