Chris was great, answered questions beforehand, turned up on time and got the job done professionally. We had a roof cleaning and treatment for moss and a siding wash done and everything came out great.

Chris with AWP did a great job on my roof. I have a very steep roof and he still did the job for us. I called and he got us scheduled with in two days. If anyone needs some softwash work done Chris is your man.

Chris at AVP was fantastic!! Great communication, prompt service, and outstanding work on the soft wash of our home, which had been sitting on the market for 7 months. After a sale fell through, we reached out to Chris, and within 24 hours of our first contact, he was already at the property getting to work. In just a couple of hours, the job was done and let me tell you, the transformation was incredible! (The photos speak for themselves) We truly can’t thank him enough. Just one week later, the same buyer revisited the home and came back with another offer! We’ve been recommending Chris to everyone. If you’re considering home cleaning services, go with AVP. It’s absolutely worth it!

Great experience with AWP Exterior Cleaning! Received a referral to Chris to clean my gutters. 1st of several projects on the to do list. Chris got to the house, spied the roof moss & called to recommend cleaning the roof with gutters included. We talked it through & went for it. Chris was able to complete the bigger project on the original appointment day. The roof looks great! The gutters are clear! The house looks amazing! Best part is I was able to have multiple projects completed, within estimates, with no hassle. I appreciate Chris’s directness, desire to be fair, quality of work, & get it done attitude! Highly recommend AWP.

We had Chris out to soft wash the shingles at our new showroom, and the difference was incredible! It looked so good that we’ve already decided to have him come back and do the shingles at our personal home as well. He also pressure washed our driveway at home and did a fantastic job. Beyond the quality of his work, Chris was just a great person to work with; friendly, professional, hardworking, and an awesome attitude from start to finish. We love supporting other local businesses, and Chris is exactly the kind of local business owner we’re happy to recommend. Highly recommend him if you’re looking for pressure washing or soft washing. We’ll definitely be repeat customers!

Messaged Chris for an estimate for cleaning my roof, he was there within hours, had a quick look around and we came to an agreement. A week later, he came and made my roof look brand new, cleaned my upper windows and blasted off some exterior mold. House looks great now, and he even made a video so I could see everything he did. Highly recommend Chris!

The quality of the pressure washing was impressive, and everything was left looking clean and refreshed. I highly recommend this company to anyone looking for great service and excellent results!

We scheduled Chris at AWP to soft wash our house and clean the driveway and side walks. He was prompt, professional and went the extra mile. I never knew a house could look so clean and shiny. The integrity of the paint was not disturbed at all. Very impressive work. Can’t recommend him enough.

This company was recommended to us by two different individuals and we are very happy we listened. All services provided will help maintain our roof and gutters in this particular PNW weather. The work was completed timely with great care and very affordable. Call Chris. He is the real deal.

AWP is the place to go! Especially on the pnw coast. With as much grime and moss that collects on our houses and businesses there needs to be a solution in order to keep our places not only looking good but keep them from determining in the harsh weather that we have. Recommend 10 out of 10

Top notch service from AWP! I feel like an ultra adult responsible homeowner even in the treacherous PNW climate...leaves, pine needles, moss - it's no match for the magic roof man! 10/10

Chris Peterson is a caring amazing hardworking professional. If you hire AWP to clean the exterior of your home or business you can rest assured you will be delighted with the results. 35 years of grime, algae, and gunk on our shop is gone. It now is shiny clean and a pleasure to drive up to. The house looks brand new. Thank you, Chris.

Frequently asked

Common questions, honest answers.

How often should I have my exterior cleaned in Oregon?

Twice a year works for most homes — spring after pollen season and fall before the heavy rains. Homes in shaded areas or near busy roads may need three cleanings. Commercial storefronts often go monthly or quarterly depending on foot traffic and location. AWP Exterior Cleaning services properties across Oregon and Western Washington, and we adjust recommendations based on your specific climate and exposure.

Do I need to be home during exterior cleaning?

No, as long as we have access to an outdoor water spigot and any gates are unlocked. We'll contact you when we're done and leave before-and-after photos if you're not there. For window cleaning that includes interiors, someone needs to be home to let us in.

Will pressure washing damage my siding or driveway?

Not if it's done correctly. We adjust pressure based on the surface — concrete gets high-volume surface cleaning, vinyl siding gets soft-washed at low pressure. Using too much pressure on siding forces water behind the sheathing or strips paint, which is why we use low-pressure chemical cleaning for those surfaces.

How long does it take for moss to come off my roof after soft washing?

The moss dies within a few days and then weathers off naturally over 2-4 weeks as rain and wind break it down. We can rinse it off immediately after treatment if you want faster visual results, but letting it weather off naturally is gentler on the shingles.

When is the best time of year to clean and stain my deck?

Late spring through early fall, when you get consistent dry weather. The wood needs 48 hours of dry weather after cleaning before we can apply stain, and then another 24-48 hours for the stain to cure. May through September is the most reliable window in Oregon and Western Washington.

Can you clean gutters if I have gutter guards installed?

Yes. Gutter guards slow debris accumulation but don't eliminate it. Fir needles and moss fragments still build up on top of the screens and need to be cleared off. We remove the debris from the guards and check that water is flowing through properly.
