Vashon's exterior cleaning specialist

Windows, solar panels, roof moss, gutters and pressure washing — done the way island weather actually demands.

Four services, built around one island's weather

Vashon gets roughly 40 inches of rain across about 150 wet days a year, under a canopy of Douglas fir, hemlock and cedar. That combination is what dirties your glass, feeds moss on your roof, and packs your gutters. Every service below exists because of it.

Window & Solar Panel Cleaning

Conifer resin, pollen and salt haze don't rinse off in the rain. Purified-water cleaning that leaves no spots and no residue to attract the next layer.

Why island glass gets dirty faster →

Roof Cleaning & Moss Removal

Moss lifts the edges of your shingles and moves water sideways under them. Removed with the low-pressure method roofing manufacturers actually endorse.

What moss really does to a roof →

Gutter Cleaning

Fir needles and bigleaf maple leaves are a different problem than city gutter debris — they knit into a mat that water can't pass.

How often island gutters need clearing →

Pressure Washing

Right tool for concrete, siding and decks. Deliberately the wrong tool for your roof — and we'll tell you why.

Why it matters here

Most exterior cleaning advice isn't written for a wet, wooded island

Generic guidance says "clean your windows twice a year" and "moss is unsightly." Neither is much use if you live under fir cover on Puget Sound. A few things that are specifically true here:

The short version

  • Rain doesn't clean your solar panels. Federal lab research found tree pollen cut panel output by more than 15%, and that recovery afterward was slow with no relationship to rainfall.
  • Moss is a structural problem, not a cosmetic one. The asphalt roofing industry's own association warns it lifts shingle edges and moves water sideways under them.
  • A pressure washer should never touch an asphalt roof. That's not our opinion — it's the manufacturers' association's explicit instruction.
  • Conifer resin isn't sap. It hardens as it oxidizes and bonds to glass, which is why it doesn't wipe off months later.

Each service page below goes into the actual mechanism — what the debris is, what it does over time, and how often it genuinely needs attention on this island.
