Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to common questions about roof and gutter cleaning, roof moss removal, roof blow-off service, and roof moss treatment.
General Questions
Are you licensed, bonded, and insured?
Yes. I’m licensed, bonded, and insured in Washington. Verify license APCONCL773JS.
How much will roof and gutter service cost?
Pricing depends on roof size, gutter length, access, and the amount of moss or debris. Most customers spend between $400 and $1,500 or more. I’ll provide a clear quote after inspecting the property.
Do you charge an annual maintenance fee?
No. Each visit is priced for the work needed. Regular maintenance often costs less because there is less buildup to remove.
Do you offer services beyond roof and gutter cleaning?
I specialize in roof cleaning, gutter cleaning, and roof moss treatment. If you need something else, I can refer you to a trusted professional.

Usually, yes. I use specialized safety equipment and ropes for roofs with different slopes. If I cannot safely complete the work, I’ll refer you to someone who can.

Port Townsend, Port Hadlock, Port Ludlow, Chimacum, Kala Point, Cape George, Nordland, and Marrowstone Island.
Is the service guaranteed?
Yes. If you are not satisfied, contact me. I’ll review the concern and either correct the issue at no additional cost or refund the service.
Roof Moss Removal
How does roof moss removal work?
I use a careful brush-only method—never pressure washing—to remove moss. I collect and remove the debris when the work is complete.
Do you pressure wash roofs?
No. I use brush-only cleaning methods designed to avoid unnecessary wear on roofing materials.
Can brushing damage my roof?
No. Careful brushing is a roof-safe way to remove moss. A small amount of loose granules is normal with age and weather and does not compromise the roof.
How much does roof moss removal cost?
Pricing depends on the roof’s size, condition, slope, access, and the work required. I’ll provide a clear quote after inspecting the property.
Do you clean up afterward?
Yes. Moss and service-related debris are collected and removed as part of the service.
How long does roof moss removal take?
Most jobs take one to two days, depending on roof size, access, weather, and moss buildup. I’ll explain the expected timing with your estimate.
Roof Blow-Off
What is a roof blow-off service?
I remove loose leaves, pine needles, dirt, and organic debris using a leaf blower and push broom. It is a simple preventive-maintenance service.
How much does a roof blow-off cost?
Pricing depends on roof size, slope, access, and the amount of debris. I’ll inspect the property and provide a clear quote.
How often should roof debris be removed?
Homes near trees often benefit from service every six to twelve months. I can recommend a practical schedule after inspecting your roof.
Gutter Cleaning

Pricing depends on property size, gutter length, access, and the amount of debris. I’ll inspect the property and provide a clear quote.
Roof Moss Treatment
What is roof moss treatment?
It is the application of a moss-control product to the roofing surface. I use powdered zinc sulfate monohydrate to treat moss and slow future growth.
Does treatment remove existing moss?
Treatment helps control moss but does not physically remove thick buildup. Heavy moss may need brush removal first.
What kind of moss treatment do you use?
I primarily use powdered zinc sulfate, applied wet or dry. It dries existing moss and makes the roof less favorable for new growth when applied regularly.
Is there an alternative for pets, gardens, or health concerns?
Yes. I offer sodium bicarbonate—baking soda—as an alternative to zinc sulfate.
