How often you need gutter cleaning depends on the trees around your home and how much debris lands on your roof. [Client to add your recommended gutter cleaning frequency for Whatcom County homes, for example once or twice a year.] For windows, we recommend at least twice a year. For roofs, clean as soon as you see moss, and use moss prevention powder 1 to 2 times a year.
Your exterior cleaning schedule

| Window cleaning | At least 2 times a year | Clean windows look better and last longer |
| Gutter cleaning | [frequency] | Prevents overflows, leaks, ice dams and water damage |
| Roof soft wash | When moss appears; lasts 3 to 5 years | Visible moss is already damaging the roof |

Roof care through the wet months
Long wet months encourage moss, algae, mold and mildew on Pacific Northwest roofs. As a general rule, once you see moss beginning to grow, it is time to clean it. A soft wash kills growth at the roots, and moss prevention powder 1 to 2 times a year helps keep it from returning.
