House Washing Process

Here's How We Clean Your Property

First, we assess your property and identify what needs attention. Different surfaces require different approaches – your vinyl siding gets treated differently than your composite deck or concrete patio.

Next comes the actual cleaning. For house washing, we use the right pressure and cleaning solutions to remove mold, mildew, and built-up grime without damaging your siding. Deck cleaning focuses on removing slippery algae and restoring the surface. Roof cleaning uses specialized soft wash techniques to eliminate those black streaks without harming your shingles.

The final step is a thorough rinse and inspection. You see the difference immediately – surfaces look like they did when they were new, and you can actually enjoy your outdoor spaces again.

What's Included in Your Cleaning

House washing covers your siding, brick, stucco, or whatever exterior material you have. The process removes years of dirt, algae, and mildew that make your home look aged and neglected.

Deck and patio cleaning tackles the slippery, dangerous buildup on your outdoor living spaces. Whether you have wood, composite decking, concrete patios, or decorative pavers, our cleaning process restores safety and appearance.

Roof cleaning eliminates those black streaks and moss growth that make your roof look old and potentially damage your shingles. Our soft wash approach cleans effectively without the high pressure that can cause expensive damage.

How often should I have my house power washed?

Most Berkeley Shores homes benefit from professional exterior cleaning every 1-2 years. New Jersey’s humid climate accelerates mold and mildew growth, especially on north-facing surfaces that don’t get much sun. If you notice black streaks on your siding, green algae on your deck, or your house looking dull and gray, it’s time for cleaning. Properties near the water or heavily shaded by trees may need annual cleaning, while others can go two years between services.

Will power washing damage my siding or deck?

Professional power washing won’t damage your surfaces when done correctly. The key is using appropriate pressure and techniques for each material. Vinyl siding needs different treatment than brick or stucco. Composite decking requires lower pressure than concrete. Wood surfaces often need soft washing rather than high pressure. DIY pressure washing causes damage because homeowners typically use too much pressure or the wrong angle. Professional equipment and experience prevent the costly mistakes that lead to repairs.

What's the difference between power washing and soft washing?

Power washing uses high-pressure water to blast away dirt and grime, while soft washing combines lower pressure with specialized cleaning solutions. Soft washing is better for delicate surfaces like roofing, painted siding, and some types of decking. The cleaning solutions do the work instead of relying on pressure alone. Many exterior cleaning jobs require both techniques – high pressure for concrete and pavers, soft washing for siding and roofs. The right approach depends on what you’re cleaning and what kind of buildup you’re dealing with.

Can you clean my roof without damaging the shingles?

Yes, we clean roofs using soft wash techniques specifically designed to protect your shingles. Those black streaks on your roof are algae growth, not dirt, so they need chemical treatment rather than high pressure. Our soft wash process applies cleaning solutions that kill the algae and moss, then rinses everything away with low pressure. High-pressure washing can damage or dislodge shingles, which is why many roofing warranties are voided by pressure washing. Soft washing gets your roof clean while keeping your warranty intact.

How long does the cleaning process take?

Most residential exterior cleaning takes 2-4 hours depending on your property size and what surfaces need attention. A basic house wash might take 2 hours, while a complete exterior cleaning including house, deck, patio, and roof could take most of a day. The actual cleaning goes quickly – most time is spent in setup, moving equipment, and ensuring thorough coverage. You don’t need to be present during the entire process, but someone should be available at the beginning and end to discuss any specific concerns or areas that need extra attention.

What should I do to prepare for power washing?

Close all windows and doors to prevent water from getting inside. Remove or secure outdoor furniture, decorations, and anything that could be damaged by water or cleaning solutions. Cover or disconnect electrical outlets and fixtures. Move vehicles away from the work area. Trim back any plants or bushes that might block access to surfaces that need cleaning. If you have delicate landscaping near the house, mention it beforehand so we can take extra care with runoff and cleaning solutions.
