Do you serve the mid-century ranch homes that make up most of Cully?

Yes. Cully's housing stock is a working-class mix of mid-century ranches, post-war bungalows, and newer infill, often on larger-than-typical Portland lots. The lower one-story rooflines on the older ranches are straightforward access for our crews, and we hand-clean rather than power-blow on every home regardless of age. Photo proof is delivered the same day so you can see exactly what came out of your gutters.

How often should a Cully home be cleaned?

Most Cully homes need a fall cleaning in late October or November after the big-leaf maples drop, plus a spring pass to clear catkins and winter grit. Properties closer to Cully Park, Whitaker Ponds Natural Area, or with mature Douglas firs in the yard often need a third midsummer visit. We will look at your specific tree cover during the free quote and tell you honestly which schedule fits.

Do you do roof moss removal in Cully?

Yes. North-facing composition roofs across Cully grow moss heavily because the neighborhood's mature trees and the moisture off Whitaker Ponds and the Columbia Slough hold humidity against the shingles. We use a soft-wash, salmon-stream-safe treatment and never pressure-wash or scrape composition. Treatment works hardest March through May once winter has finished feeding the colony.

Gutter & Roof Cleaning in Cully, Portland OR | USA Gutter

Cully, in northeast Portland, is one of the city’s most diverse neighborhoods — a working-class mix of mid-century ranch homes, post-war bungalows, and newer infill on larger-than-typical Portland lots. Mature trees and moisture from Whitaker Ponds and the Columbia Slough load up roofs here from October through May, so most homes need clearing at least twice a year. We’ve been hand-cleaning Cully off NE Killingsworth St and NE Cully Blvd since 2009.

What we do in Cully

Cully mixes post-war ranches with newer infill, so gutter sizes and roof pitches vary block to block. We start with gutter cleaning and downspout checks — a lot of Cully homes still tie into older yard drains that clog with fir needles. Roof cleaning, moss removal, window cleaning, fence and driveway pressure washing, and Christmas lights are all on the same menu if you want them bundled.

Why Cully homes specifically

The Cully maintenance picture is two stories: the lower one-story rooflines on most mid-century ranches are straightforward, but the neighborhood’s tree canopy and proximity to the Whitaker Ponds and Columbia Slough wetlands keep humidity high and moss colonies active year-round. Roof cleaning in Cully, Portland OR usually means soft-washing rather than pressure-washing, since most homes here run composition shingles that cannot take high pressure. Newer infill homes typically have wider 6-inch K-style gutters that handle debris better, but they still need clearing every fall.
