Residential Pressure Washing for Wilmington Capes, Ranches, and Colonials
Most of the houses here are single-family Capes, ranches, and colonials, and most of them wear vinyl siding. Vinyl gets soft washed, never blasted. Here is what we clean for homeowners:
- House Washing. Soft wash for vinyl, Hardie board, stucco, and painted wood; brick and concrete can take pressure. A house wash covers your siding and the outside of your gutters. Windows, roof, and patio are separate.
- Roof Cleaning. Soft wash only, worked from ladders. We never pressure wash a roof. The treatment kills moss, algae, and lichen at the root, and the dead growth weathers off with the rain. Asphalt shingle is the roof we see most.
- Window Cleaning (Exterior only). We clean the exterior glass with a water-fed pole and filtered pure water. Most people add it onto a house wash.
- Gutter Cleaning. We clean the gutters out by hand or flush them, check that every downspout runs clear, and haul the debris off or rake it up.
- Deck Cleaning. Soft wash for Trex and composite decks, railings included. Cleaning only.
- Fence Cleaning. Soft wash for vinyl privacy and picket fences, priced by the section.
- Solar Panel Cleaning. Filtered pure water and a soft brush, no chemicals on the glass.
- Concrete Cleaning. Patios, pool decks, sidewalks, steps, foundations, and garage floors. We put down an algaecide first, then run the surface cleaner. Oil soaks in, so we can lighten an oil stain but not make it disappear.
- Rust Removal. Well-water irrigation and metal furniture leave iron stains on concrete, and unlike oil, those come off. We start with the mildest acid mix and work up only if we have to. It's an add-on to another service.
- Paver Sealing (Patio Restoration). We clean the patio, set fresh polymeric sand in the joints, and seal it in a wet look or a clear finish. It runs about three days, since every stage needs the pavers bone dry.
- Concrete Sealing. A penetrating sealer that soaks in instead of sitting on top, so it won't make the surface slippery. Clear finish only on concrete.
Exterior cleaning season runs spring through fall around here, and the calls pick up in spring.
