Residential Pressure Washing for Painted Wood and Vinyl Homes
Colonials and Capes around here wear painted wood and vinyl, and we also wash Hardie board, brick, stucco, and concrete siding. Here is what we clean for homeowners:
- House Washing: the siding and the outside of your gutters, soft washed with an algaecide and soap mix. Brick and concrete can take some pressure.
- Roof Cleaning: soft washed from a ladder, which kills the moss, algae, and lichen at the root. The dead growth turns white, and the rain carries it off over the following weeks. A roof with missing shingles we leave alone.
- Window Cleaning (Exterior only): exterior glass only, cleaned with a water-fed pole and filtered pure water. No sills, no tracks, no French-pane windows. Most people add it onto a house wash.
- Gutter Cleaning: scooped out by hand or flushed clear, every downspout checked, the debris hauled off. If you have gutter guards, we take them off and put them back, which raises the price. If we spot rotten fascia or a gutter pulling away, we'll tell you, but repairs aren't something we do.
- Solar Panel Cleaning: cleaned with filtered pure water and a soft brush, nothing on the glass.
- Deck Cleaning: Trex and composite decks soft washed, railings included. Cleaning only, no staining or sealing. If a deck is past saving, we'll say so.
- Fence Cleaning: vinyl privacy and picket fences, soft washed. Cleaning only. A fence that's falling apart, we leave alone.
- Concrete Cleaning: patios, pool decks, walkways, steps, foundations, and garage floors, cleaned with a surface cleaner. Oil soaks in, so we can lighten a stain but not erase it.
- Rust Removal: an add-on for rust from irrigation and metal patio furniture. We start with the mildest mix and only go stronger if we have to.
- Paver Sealing (Patio Restoration): clean, fresh polymeric sand, then seal, in a wet look or clear, over about three days. We wait on dry weather at every step.
- Concrete Sealing: a penetrating sealer that soaks in instead of sitting on top, so it won't make the patio slippery. Clear only.
A house wash covers your siding and the outside of your gutters. The windows, roof, chimney, porch, foundation, and patio are separate jobs. Ask and we'll price them together. Spring is the busy stretch, and farm properties often want a second pass later in the summer. If your place backs onto the river, the water-facing side stays damp and tends to green up first.
