General

Salem, Dallas, Keizer, Silverton, Woodburn, Stayton, Albany, McMinnville, and surrounding communities within 30 miles of Salem, OR. See our service areas page for a full map.

How do I get a free estimate?

Call or text (503) 445-7871, email basaltexteriors@gmail.com, or fill out the form below. We typically respond within a few hours.

Do I need to be home?

Not always. For exterior work we usually don't need access inside. We'll let you know in advance if we do.

How do you price your work?

Every job is quoted individually based on property size, condition, and scope. We never charge by the hour — you always know the price before we start.

Moss Removal

Will moss removal damage my roof?

No — we use careful low-pressure manual techniques. No power washers that strip granules from shingles.

How long does it take?

Most residential roofs take 2–4 hours depending on size and moss coverage.

How often should I treat for moss?

In the Pacific Northwest, most homes benefit from removal every 1–3 years depending on tree coverage and sun exposure.

Is a prevention treatment included?

Yes — every moss removal includes a basic prevention treatment at no extra charge.

Gutter Cleaning

How do I know my gutters need cleaning?

Overflowing water during rain, sagging gutters, plants growing from gutters, or it's been over a year since your last cleaning.

Do you clean downspouts too?

Yes. We flush downspouts to make sure water flows all the way through.

How often should gutters be cleaned?

Twice a year — once in late spring after pollen season, once in late fall after leaves drop.

Pressure Washing

What surfaces can you pressure wash?

Driveways, sidewalks, patios, decks, fences, siding, and more. We match pressure to the surface so nothing gets damaged.

Will pressure washing damage my surfaces?

Not when done properly. We adjust pressure and technique for each surface type.

Property Cleanup

What's included in property cleanup?

Debris removal, yard waste hauling, overgrowth clearing, fire hazard reduction, and general lot cleanup. We tailor the scope to your property.

Do you haul everything away?

Yes. We remove and dispose of all debris — no pile left behind.

Do I need to be present?

No. We can access and complete most exterior cleanup jobs without you there.

Payments & Client Portal

How do I pay my invoice?

After the job is complete, you'll receive a link to your online invoice. Pay securely by credit/debit card, bank transfer (ACH), or Google Pay — right from your phone or computer. No checks, no phone calls required.

What payment methods do you accept?

We accept Visa, Mastercard, Amex, bank transfer (ACH), and Google Pay. You can save your card on file for future services. All payments are processed securely through Stripe.

Will I get a detailed invoice?

Yes. Every job comes with a clear itemized invoice showing exactly what was done and what it costs. You'll receive it by email with a link to view and pay online.

Can I view my quotes, appointments, and service history online?

Yes. You'll have access to a personal client portal where you can review and approve quotes, view upcoming appointments, track invoices, and see your full service history — all in one place from any device.

Can I approve my quote online without calling?

Yes. We'll send you a quote link you can review and approve directly from your phone — no back-and-forth calls needed.

Can I request additional services through the portal?

Yes. Once you're a client, you can submit new service requests directly through your portal anytime — no need to start from scratch.
