North west roof moss north view.
Almost all homes in the North west have a north facing side on there roof. A roof angled north gets less sun, keeping the roof damper longer promoting the growth of moss.
You know that saying “You can always find North walking in the forest by looking for moss” Very true…lol. Next time driving or walking up the street, look at peoples roofs and orientate your self north! There you will never get lost again! A benefit of roof moss.
Last Fridays torrential down poor in the Portland area lead to 1000’s of gutter downspout clogs. We did the best we can to handle the demand our customers placed on us.
Gutter cleaning in the Portland metro becomes “In high demand” ! during serious rainfalls. People see there gutters are overflowing. With the news media covering stories on SW Portland homes sliding down hills well we become pretty popular. I consider ourselves the front lines of holding our west hills homes down!

A common style downspout on new row homes.
Heres a moss removal project were tackling next week. As you can see from the picture the moss appears to want to peal away from the roof fairly easily. 
You always want to do this test to make sure the roofing is still in fair to good condition. If the roof is in poor condition the best practice would be to spray and treat the roof with a moss killer, then return on a later date after the moss is dead to clean up.

Member Comments:
The folks at Gleaming The View were very friendly and professional, from the person who booked the appointment through the gentleman who performed the work. On the day of the appointment, they called ahead to let me know they would be ten minutes late – which I loved. The gentleman who was here was very meticulous in his work and did a thorough job. Even though it was raining extremely hard during some moments while he was cleaning our gutters and washing the exteriors of the windows, he was a happy camper all the way until the end. I would definitely use this company again and recommend them to anyone in need of their services. They are a stellar example of what customer service should be.

Tim from Gleaming The View came out to give me an estimate on gutter cleaning and power washing my driveway. While it is still some weeks before all the leaves around my home finish coming down, I had recently had my roof replaced and there were some clogs already in my gutters I was worried about. I thought Tim was just going to do an inspection and then give me the quote, but he said his goal is to always leave the customer with no clogs, so he used his pressure washer to unclog every one of my gutters as he was inspecting them to verify where they drained out to etc. He did not charge me for this; he said it was just part of the inspection, and gave me a quote on the cost to clear the gutters later this fall after the leaves were all down ($140). Needless to say, I was very happy with this “above and beyond” approach to customer service, and I will happily call him to clear my gutters when the time comes. I will also call him again in the spring when it’s power-washing time.
Enjoy!!!
