Pressure Washing & Cleaning Services in Portland, Oregon

Portland is one of the most beautiful cities in the Pacific Northwest — and one of the most moss-prone. The city's famous tree canopy, abundant rainfall, and mild temperatures create the perfect conditions for moss, algae, mildew, and organic buildup on virtually every exterior surface. If you've owned a Portland home for more than a year or two, you've already seen it: the green creep up the north face of the roof, the black streaks down the driveway, the algae-blotched siding that makes a well-kept home look neglected.

We serve all of Portland's major neighborhoods — Southeast Portland, Northeast Portland, North Portland, Southwest Portland, and inner Southeast and Northeast. Whether you're in Sellwood-Moreland, Irvington, Laurelhurst, Hawthorne, the Alberta Arts District, St. Johns, Woodstock, or anywhere in between, we know these homes. Most Portland properties are craftsman bungalows, older ranch homes, or mid-century colonials — all of which have wood trim, painted siding, and detailed rooflines that need careful cleaning rather than brute-force pressure washing.

We use the soft wash method for siding, roofs, and fences — low pressure with biodegradable cleaning solution that kills moss and algae at the root and prevents regrowth. For driveways, patios, and concrete, we apply the right PSI for the surface to remove years of staining without damaging the material. Every job is done by the owner, not a rotating crew of subcontractors. That means consistent quality, careful attention to your landscaping and property, and someone you can call back if you ever have a question.

We also serve the Pearl District for commercial exterior cleaning, and frequently work on multi-family properties throughout inner Portland. Whatever the property type, we offer free on-site quotes and transparent, flat-rate pricing — no surprises on the invoice.

Portland Exterior Cleaning FAQ

How much does pressure washing cost in Portland?
Most Portland driveways run $150 to $300, house washing runs $300 to $600, and roof soft washing runs $300 to $500, depending on size and how much moss has built up. Older Portland homes in shaded, tree-heavy neighborhoods often sit at the higher end because there is more organic growth to remove. See our Portland pricing guide for a full breakdown.
Which Portland neighborhoods do you serve?
We serve all of Portland, including Southeast, Northeast, North, Southwest, and Northwest Portland, plus Sellwood, Laurelhurst, Irvington, Hawthorne, Alberta, and St. Johns. If you are inside the city limits, we can get to you.
Why do Portland homes get so much moss and algae?
Portland sits under a dense tree canopy and gets roughly eight months of wet, mild weather a year, which is close to ideal for moss, algae, and lichen. North-facing roofs and shaded driveways stay damp the longest and green up fastest, which is why regular cleaning matters more here than in drier climates.
How often should I wash my house in Portland?
Most Portland homes benefit from a house wash once a year and a driveway or roof cleaning every one to two years. Heavily shaded lots near mature trees may need it more often, while sunnier, open lots can go longer between cleanings.
