Getting rid of moss and cleaning gutters in Portland, Oregon
In Portland, OR, Salty Dawg Power Washing completed a roof moss treatment and gutter cleaning project that restored the appearance and function of a home. Our crew started by removing loose debris from the roof surface, using low-impact methods to avoid damaging shingles while making the roof ready for treatment.
Next we applied our biodegradable product to the affected areas to stop moss growth. The product is formulated to kill moss while being safe for surrounding plants and landscaping. We carefully applied it only where needed so it could do its job without leaving excess residue.
After treatment, we performed a full gutter cleaning, clearing the inside and the outside where leaves and debris had collected. Cleaning both the interior of the channels and the exterior edges helps gutters shed water properly and prevents clogs that can lead to overflow or damage.
We paid attention to downspouts as well, flushing them to ensure water can move freely from the roofline to the ground. Keeping downspouts clear is an important part of the gutter cleaning service and helps protect the home from water intrusion around the foundation.
Throughout the job our team worked efficiently and kept the work area tidy. We removed the debris we had collected and left the property in a clean condition. That attention to cleanup is part of what homeowners in Portland expect from a professional roof and gutter service.
The visible result was immediate. Moss was eliminated from the treated areas and the roof looked much cleaner. With the gutters cleared and flowing nicely, the homeowner had better protection against standing water and potential drainage problems.
For homeowners considering similar work, this project shows the two-step approach that makes a difference, treating the roof surface first and then addressing gutter function. Combining moss removal with a thorough gutter cleaning helps extend the effective life of both systems.
Salty Dawg Power Washing in Portland, OR provides roof moss treatment and gutter cleaning to restore curb appeal and improve water flow. If you notice moss on your roof or gutters that are clogged, a focused service like this can address both issues at once and leave the home looking refreshed.
We completed the project with the goal of returning the house to a like-new appearance, and when the job was finished it looked like a brand new house, just as the homeowner described. The gutters were flowing, the roof was cleared of loose debris and moss, and the property was left clean and orderly.

Client Review
We hired Salty Dog to clean out all gutters and down spouts and to remove moss from the roof. Upon arrival, we then asked them to do a third task, clean the outside of all gutters. We own a tall three story structure so some of these tasks were challenging. They completed all three tasks excellently. The house looks so much nicer now with all roof moss and dirt on gutters removed. They did a top-notch job on all three issues (and I checked several gutters I can reach - all were cleaned out perfectly). They were also careful to wash down the windows as the water and their moss-removing product came off the roof. Also, their general customer service was excellent. We had some questions afterward about long term care and they returned the following day to discuss all our questions and concerns. They cared about customer satisfaction. We hired S.D. because the owner Bill was completely knowledgeable about roofs and gutters, as demonstrated on his initial pricing visit. I was totally confident that he and co-owner Jordan knew what they were doing and would do a great job. We are completely satisfied with their service and they are on our list of permanent home care businesses. We will hire them again next year.
