Residential Pressure Washing for Merrimac Homes and Lake Cottages
Siding around here is mostly vinyl, painted wood, and brick. Vinyl, Hardie board, stucco, and painted wood get soft washed, and brick or concrete can take pressure where it is safe. One thing worth saying plainly up front: a house wash cleans your siding and the outside of your gutters. Windows, roof, chimney, porch, foundation, and patio are separate services. Ask us and we'll price them together.
Here is what we clean for homes:
- House Washing. Soft wash with an algaecide and soap mix on vinyl, Hardie board, stucco, and painted wood, with the strength matched to the growth, from a light haze to heavy moss.
- Roof Cleaning. Soft washed from ladders, so the moss, algae, and lichen die at the root; the dead growth turns white and the rain carries it off over the weeks that follow. Roofs with missing shingles we leave alone.
- Window Cleaning (Exterior only). A water-fed pole and filtered pure water on the glass, no sills, tracks, or French-pane windows; screens come off for cleaning on request. Most people add it to a house wash.
- Gutter Cleaning. Hand clean-out or a flush, every downspout checked, the siding rinsed and debris raked up. A pulling gutter or rotten fascia we'll point out, though repairs aren't something we do.
- Deck Cleaning. Trex and composite decks soft washed, railings included. Cleaning only, and if a deck is past saving we'll tell you.
- Fence Cleaning. Vinyl privacy and picket fences, soft washed, cleaning only.
- Solar Panel Cleaning. Filtered pure water and a soft brush, nothing harsh on the glass.
- Concrete Cleaning. Patios, pool decks, walkways, steps, foundations, and garage floors, cleaned with a surface cleaner. Oil stains lighten but never fully come out.
- Rust Removal. An add-on to another service for well-water staining and metal-furniture marks, starting with the mildest mix and going stronger only if we have to.
- Paver Sealing (Patio Restoration). Clean, fresh polymeric sand, and seal in a wet look or clear, over about three days with the patio bone dry at each step.
- Concrete Sealing. A penetrating sealer that soaks in and will not leave the surface slippery, clear finish only.
Spring is the main window for most of this. Lakefront owners often have us back to do the decks again before summer.
