If you live in Forest Hills, you live under trees: oaks, maples and tulip poplars, just to name a few.

Those canopies make the neighborhood beautiful, but they can also leave their mark on your home.

Shade and humid summers create perfect conditions for moss and algae, which creep across north-facing roofs, turn brick steps slick and green, and streak siding. Moss holds moisture like a sponge,
and over the years it can lift shingles and wear down brick and stone.

And every November, the same trees fill your gutters with leaves, just in time for winter rains to back up behind them.

Living in a community this beautiful calls for a little tending.  For most of us, our home is our most valuable asset, and with gentle, responsible care, a roof and stonework can last many more years.

I’m Daniel Yang, and I own and operate Gorilla Property Services here in DC. I live in Bloomingdale, and I started this business to build something local, the kind of company neighbors can trust and recommend.

In October, our crew spent an afternoon on a Forest Hills roof, clearing years of moss that had settled in under a big shade tree. The homeowner and I got to talking about the neighborhood, the trees, and how hard it can be to find someone you trust to climb up there. That conversation is the reason you’re reading this.

We care for the outside of homes: roof cleaning and moss removal, gutters, windows, gentle soft washing for siding, pressure washing for walkways and patios, and holiday light installation. We also clean dryer vents to reduce fire risk and improve drying efficiency.

How we do the work matters as much as the result. We always offer eco-friendly options for treating stains and harmful organic growth like moss, algae and mildew.

In a neighborhood this close to Rock Creek, we take care to keep what we use out of the creek.
