What this service covers
Most houses that look like they need painting just need washing. Years of algae, mildew and pollen dull a surface, and the right pressure with the right detergent takes it off without damaging what's underneath.
We soft wash siding, and pressure wash decks, patios, walkways, driveways, fences and steps — matching the technique to the material so nothing gets etched, streaked or driven full of water.
- Soft washing for vinyl, cedar, stucco and painted siding
- Decks, porches and fences
- Patios, walkways, steps and driveways
- Gutter faces, soffits and downspouts
- Pre-paint and pre-stain cleaning
- Mildew, algae and moss treatment
Why it's worth doing
The cheapest way to make a house look new
A whole-house wash costs a fraction of painting and often buys several more years before the house needs paint at all.
Protects the surface
Algae and moss hold moisture against siding, wood and stone. Removing it slows the damage they cause.
Required before you paint or stain
Paint won't bond to a dirty or mildewed surface. Washing first is what makes the finish last.
Safer walkways
Algae on stone and concrete is genuinely slippery when wet. Cleaning it off removes a real hazard.
When it's time to get this done
If you're recognising any of these, the job usually gets cheaper the sooner it's handled:
- Green or black streaking on siding, especially the shaded side
- Deck and patio surfaces are slick after rain
- You're about to paint, stain or list the house
- Pollen, dirt or cobwebs have built up over a season
- Yearly, as maintenance — spring is ideal in Westchester
How the job runs
-
Walk the property
We check the surfaces and note anything that needs repair rather than washing.
-
Protect and pre-treat
Plants covered and wet down, detergent applied to break down organic growth.
-
Wash
Correct pressure and nozzle for each material, worked top down so nothing streaks.
-
Rinse and inspect
Full rinse, plants rinsed again, and a walk-around with you before we pack up.
Common questions
Will pressure washing damage my siding?
Not the way we do it. Vinyl, cedar and stucco get soft washed with detergent and low pressure — high pressure is reserved for hard surfaces.
How often should a house be washed?
Once a year for most Westchester homes, or every two years for houses in full sun with little tree cover.
Do you need to use my water?
Yes, we hook up to an outside spigot. We just need access to one working faucet.
