Residential Pressure Washing for North Reading Colonials, Capes, and Ranches
Most of what we clean in town are Colonials, Capes, and ranches, and most of them wear vinyl or painted wood siding. We soft wash siding, roofs, decks, and fences, and we pressure wash concrete, brick, and pavers. Here is what we handle for homeowners:
- House Washing. Vinyl, Hardie board, brick, stucco, and painted wood. We soft wash and use pressure only on brick and concrete. A house wash covers your siding and the outside of your gutters; windows, roof, chimney, porch, foundation, and patio are priced separately.
- Roof Cleaning. We soft wash a roof and never pressure wash one. The treatment kills moss, algae, and lichen at the root, and the dead growth turns white and weathers off with the rain over the following weeks. Asphalt shingle is most common here, and we also handle slate, metal, and tile. A roof missing shingles is one we leave alone.
- Window Cleaning (Exterior only). Exterior glass, cleaned with a water-fed pole and filtered pure water. We do not do sills, tracks, or French-pane windows. Screens can be cleaned for an added charge, and most people add this to a house wash.
- Gutter Cleaning. We clean the gutters out by hand or flush them, check that every downspout runs clear, rinse the siding, and rake up what came down. If you have gutter guards, they come off and go back on. If we spot rotten fascia or a gutter pulling away, we tell you, but repairs aren't something we do.
- Deck Cleaning. Trex and composite decks, railings included. We clean only; we do not stain or seal. If a deck is past saving, we tell you instead of taking your money.
- Fence Cleaning. Vinyl privacy and picket fences, soft washed. A fence with one broken panel is fine to clean. A fence that would crumble under water, we leave alone.
- Concrete Cleaning. Patios, pool decks, sidewalks, steps, foundations, and garage floors. Oil soaks into concrete, so we can lighten an oil stain but not remove it, and we say so up front.
- Rust Removal. An add-on for the rust that comes from well-water irrigation and metal furniture left on a patio. We start with the mildest mix that works and go stronger only if we have to.
- Solar Panel Cleaning. Filtered pure water and a soft brush, no chemicals on the glass.
- Paver Sealing (Patio Restoration). We clean the patio, set new polymeric sand, and seal it, in a wet look or clear. It runs about three days because the patio has to be bone dry at every step.
- Concrete Sealing. For concrete patios and pool decks. The penetrating sealer soaks in rather than sitting on top, so it won't make the surface slippery. We don't offer a wet-look finish on concrete.
Washing season runs spring through fall, and spring is the busy stretch in town. Gutters do well with a spring cleaning and another in fall.
