What Clean Exteriors Really Look Like

You know that feeling when you drive up to your house and actually feel proud of how it looks? That’s what happens when years of dirt, algae, and grime get properly removed from your siding, deck, and walkways.

Your home’s exterior surfaces take a beating from New Jersey’s humid summers and harsh winters. Algae grows in the moisture, dirt embeds in textured surfaces, and those black streaks on your roof aren’t just cosmetic—they’re actually damaging your shingles.

Professional house washing services restore your property’s appearance while protecting your investment. Clean siding lasts longer, decks stay structurally sound, and that curb appeal you’ve been missing comes back. You’re not just getting a clean house—you’re getting peace of mind that the job’s done right.

South Lakewood Power Washing Experts

We Know What Works Here

Fresh Wash 1 Power Washing has been serving South Lakewood homeowners who understand that their property is their biggest investment. We know exactly what New Jersey’s climate does to exterior surfaces and how to handle each material properly.

You won’t find us using the same pressure setting on your vinyl siding that we’d use on your concrete driveway. We understand that your composite deck needs different treatment than your wooden fence, and your roof requires soft washing techniques that won’t damage shingles.

We’ve seen what happens when power washing gets done wrong, and we’ve built our reputation on doing it right the first time.

Our Power Washing Process

Here's Exactly What Happens

First, we assess your property to identify what needs cleaning and which surfaces require special attention. Your vinyl siding gets treated differently than your brick walkway, and your roof cleaning follows completely different protocols than your deck power washing.

Next comes the actual cleaning, using the right pressure and cleaning solutions for each surface. Low pressure for siding and roofs, higher pressure for concrete and pavers. We pre-treat stubborn stains and algae growth, then systematically work through each area.

The final step involves a thorough rinse and inspection to make sure everything’s clean and undamaged. You get your exterior surfaces back looking like they should, without any of the streaking or damage that comes from improper techniques. The whole process typically takes a few hours, depending on your property size.

Everything Your Property Needs

House washing covers your siding, trim, and foundation areas where dirt and algae accumulate. Deck cleaning removes that slippery buildup that makes wooden and composite surfaces dangerous to walk on. Roof cleaning eliminates those black streaks and moss growth that actually shorten your shingles’ lifespan.

Patio cleaning and paver cleaning restore your outdoor living spaces to their original appearance. Those concrete patios and decorative walkways that have turned gray and dingy get their color back. Paver cleaning brings back the crisp lines and vibrant colors you remember from when they were first installed.

Each service uses the appropriate pressure and cleaning methods for the specific material. You’re not getting a one-size-fits-all approach—you’re getting targeted exterior cleaning that addresses what each surface actually needs.

How often should I have my house power washed?

Most South Lakewood homes benefit from professional house washing every 1-2 years, depending on your property’s exposure to trees, moisture, and weather conditions. Homes with more shade or surrounded by trees typically need cleaning annually because they stay damp longer, promoting algae and mildew growth. Houses in full sun might go two years between cleanings. You’ll know it’s time when you notice green or black streaks on your siding, or when your home’s colors look dull and faded compared to when it was freshly painted.

Will power washing damage my siding or roof?

Proper power washing won’t damage your exterior surfaces when done with the right pressure and techniques. Vinyl siding, for example, should never be cleaned with high pressure—it requires low pressure and the right cleaning solutions. Roof cleaning uses soft wash methods that rely on specialized cleaners rather than pressure to remove algae and stains. The key is matching the cleaning method to the material. Professional equipment allows for precise pressure control that DIY pressure washers can’t match, which is why improper technique causes most damage, not the cleaning process itself.

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

Pressure washing uses high-pressure water to remove dirt and grime from hard surfaces like concrete driveways, walkways, and brick. Soft washing uses low pressure combined with specialized cleaning solutions to safely clean delicate surfaces like roofs, siding, and painted areas. Your roof gets soft washed to avoid damaging shingles, while your concrete patio gets pressure washed to remove embedded dirt. Most properties need both techniques—it’s about using the right method for each surface rather than applying the same approach everywhere.

How long does the cleaning process take?

A typical house washing service takes 2-4 hours depending on your home’s size and the services you’re having done. Deck cleaning usually adds another hour, while roof cleaning can take 2-3 hours for thorough treatment and rinsing. Patio and paver cleaning time depends on the square footage and how embedded the dirt and stains are. Most homeowners schedule a full day for comprehensive exterior cleaning that includes multiple services. The process can’t be rushed—proper pre-treatment, cleaning, and rinsing time ensures you get lasting results without damage.

When is the best time of year for power washing?

Spring and fall are ideal for exterior cleaning in New Jersey. Spring cleaning removes winter’s accumulated dirt and prepares surfaces for summer use, while fall cleaning removes summer’s algae growth and prepares your home for winter. Avoid cleaning during the hottest summer days when cleaning solutions dry too quickly, or during freezing weather when water can cause ice hazards. Many homeowners schedule their house washing in late spring before outdoor entertaining season, and their deck cleaning in early fall after summer use but before winter weather sets in.

Do you clean windows as part of house washing?

House washing focuses on your home’s exterior surfaces like siding, trim, and foundation areas. While the cleaning process will rinse your windows, professional window cleaning requires different equipment and techniques for streak-free results. Most homeowners find that their windows look significantly better after house washing removes the dirt and algae from surrounding surfaces, but dedicated window cleaning is a separate service. If you’re planning both services, it’s most efficient to schedule house washing first, then window cleaning, so your windows don’t get splashed during the exterior cleaning process.
