A little pressure washing goes a long way. Moss, algae, and a winter’s worth of grime gone in one visit. Your home looks brand new from the outside.

Are there plants growing in your gutters right now?🌱
Portland gutters after winter get packed with debris, decomposed leaves, and yes, actual plants.
Clean gutters protect your foundation, your roof, and your home. This one is flowing freely now. 💧

Moss, algae, dirt and grime — pressure washing is one of the fastest ways to transform the look of your home.

Most Portland homeowners have never cleaned their bathroom exhaust fan. 😬
A clogged fan can’t remove moisture from your bathroom. That’s how mold starts growing in your walls and ceiling — and most people don’t find out until it’s already a problem. Clean at least once a year.

My friend couldn’t find her HVAC filters so I came to help. Look what was hiding inside 😳
These are electrostatic air filters, not all systems have them but if yours does they’re washable and reusable!
Clean them every 1-3 months depending on pets and dust levels in your home.
