A breakdown of what homeowners across the Portland metro and Clark County typically pay for gutter cleaning, roof moss treatment, soft washing, and related services.
Fast answer

- Roof moss removal and treatment typically runs $250–$600.
- Steep or multi-story access adds $50–$150 to most jobs.
Gutter cleaning prices
Gutter cleaning is priced primarily by the number of stories and the amount of debris. A single-story home with a straightforward roofline typically runs $99–$150. Two-story homes — more common across Portland neighborhoods with mature trees — run $150–$250 due to the additional ladder work and time. Downspout clearing is usually included, but a fully blocked downspout that needs disassembly runs an additional $25–$75 per downspout.
Roof moss removal, treatment, and soft washing
Roof moss removal and treatment ($250–$600) covers physically removing moss growth, treating the roof to slow regrowth, and clearing debris from valleys and edges. Roof soft washing ($250–$600) is a gentler alternative for roofs with algae streaking or general grime that doesn't yet have heavy moss buildup. Both are priced by roof size and pitch — a steep multi-story roof at the top of these ranges, a smaller single-story roof at the bottom.
Downspout repair
Downspout repair and clearing ($75–$250) covers reattaching loose sections, replacing damaged elbows, or fully clearing a stubborn blockage that a standard cleaning didn't resolve.
What changes your final price
- Roof size and pitch — larger and steeper roofs take longer to work safely.
- Gutter length and number of stories — more linear footage and height both add time.
- Debris and moss buildup — a gutter that hasn't been cleaned in over a year takes longer than routine maintenance.
- Access — locked gates, dense landscaping, or limited ladder placement can add setup time.

Common questions
Why is gutter cleaning cheaper than roof moss treatment?
Gutter cleaning is mostly a labor and time job — clear debris, flush, and check flow. Moss treatment involves additional materials, application time, and often covers a much larger surface area, which is why it costs more.
Do you charge extra for steep or multi-story roofs?
Yes, steep pitches and multi-story homes typically add $50–$150 to a job due to the extra equipment and time required for safe access.
