Do you work on the older Craftsman and bungalow homes in Lents?

Yes. Lents was originally platted in the 1910s and still has a lot of that early-1900s Craftsman and bungalow stock, alongside the newer infill that has gone in around the Lents Town Center MAX station. We hand-clean older narrow gutters carefully and bring proper ladder setups for the newer two-story infill. Photo proof is delivered the same day on every job, regardless of home age.

How often should a Lents home be cleaned?

Most Lents homes need a fall cleaning in late October or November after the maples drop, plus a spring pass to clear catkins and winter grit. Properties closer to Lents Park or Johnson Creek, or with mature Douglas firs nearby, often need a third midsummer visit. We will walk the property during the free quote and tell you honestly which schedule fits your specific roof and tree cover.

Do you do roof moss removal in Lents?

Yes. North-facing composition roofs across Lents grow moss heavily because the surrounding tree canopy and the moisture off Johnson Creek hold humidity against the shingles much of the year. We use a soft-wash, salmon-stream-safe treatment — important given how close Johnson Creek runs to many Lents homes — and never pressure-wash or scrape composition. Spring, March through May, is the best time for treatment.

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

Lents, in southeast Portland, was originally platted in the 1910s as one of the city’s working-class streetcar suburbs, and the neighborhood today is a mix of that original Craftsman and bungalow stock plus newer transit-oriented infill around the Lents Town Center MAX station on SE Foster Rd. Fir and maple debris along SE 92nd Ave and SE Holgate Blvd calls for fall-and-spring gutter passes. We’ve hand-cleaned Lents since 2009.

What we do in Lents

Most Lents calls start with gutter cleaning — fir needles from the Oaks Bottom corridor pack in fast on the older bungalows along SE 92nd. We hand-clean, flush every downspout, and text you photos when we are done. Same visit or a follow-up trip, we can add roof cleaning, moss removal, window cleaning, pressure washing on driveways and patios, or Christmas lights on the two-story infill near the MAX station. One crew, one written quote before we climb.

Why Lents homes specifically

The Lents maintenance picture has two layers. Older 1910s-era homes here often still have narrow original gutter profiles that clog faster than modern 6-inch K-style — we hand-clean them rather than power-blowing to protect painted fascia and decorative brackets. Newer infill around the SE 92nd Ave corridor and the Lents Town Center MAX station typically has wider gutters but steeper two-story rooflines. Roof cleaning in Lents, Portland OR also means soft-washing aged composition and using salmon-stream-safe products given how close Johnson Creek runs through the neighborhood.
