Pacific North Washed will be on-site November 16–25, 2026, to perform gutter and downspout cleaning throughout the community in addition to soft washing the roofs to prevent moss growth. Work is scheduled to take place between 9:00 AM and 5:00 PM each day.
To complete this work, crews may need access to backyards, driveways, all sides of homes, and outdoor sigots. Please ensure that back gates are unlocked to allow entry.
In preparation, we ask that residents please:
- Clear access to your outdoor spigots as they will be using them
- Close all windows, doors, and garage doors
- Secure or bring in pets
- Remove or secure personal belongings from the work areas
- Clear items away from the perimeter of your home
- Store trash and recycling containers inside your garage (do not leave them in driveways or between homes)
These steps will help ensure the work is completed safely and efficiently.
If you have any questions, please contact the Board of Directors.
Why this project now?
The HOA cleans the gutters at least once a year to prevent roof and fascia damage, protect the home’s foundation and prevent issues such as wood rot, mold growth, and pest breeding.
Cleaning the roofs prevents roof damage, moss/algae growth while ensuring the functionality and extending the useful life of the roofs. This year, the HOA has decided to have to roofs soft washed instead of moss out applied.
The roofs will be treated with a mixture of water, surfactant, and chlorine. The same biodegradable chemical that is used in our drinking water and swimming pools. This mixture inhibits moss growth and is the recommended way to clean the roofs by Malarkey – the manufacture of our shingles.
The roof wash process comes with a 12-month no moss guarantee. This means that the HOA can wash the roofs every other year instead of applying moss out every year. Soft washing saves the HOA money, is eco-friendly, and is more effective than moss out.
Project goals:
- Clean all gutters
- Flush all downspouts
- Replace any loose gutter spikes with gutter screws
- Blow off all roofs
- Apply water, surfactant, and chlorine to all roofs
How was the company selected?
Pacific North Washed bid out gutter cleaning in 2025 and provided a competitive, detailed bid. The board went with Details Image Restoration in 2025, but Details Image Restoration was not available to clean the gutters in 2026, so Pacific North Washed was contacted for the project.
The owner has been easy to work with, communicates well, and provided a competitive bid.
