See Your Property's True Potential Again

You know that feeling when you drive up and your home just doesn’t look as sharp as it used to. Those black streaks on your siding, the green film covering your deck, the dingy concrete that used to be bright white.

That buildup isn’t just cosmetic. It’s actively breaking down your surfaces, creating slip hazards, and costing you money in premature replacements. When we remove years of accumulated dirt, algae, and grime from your exterior surfaces, you’re not just getting a cleaner look.

You’re getting back the home you’re proud to pull into. The deck you actually want to use for summer barbecues. The walkways that feel safe underfoot. Your property value protected, your maintenance headaches reduced, and your weekends freed up from scrubbing surfaces that never seem to come clean.

Anchorage Exterior Cleaning Experts

We Know What Works Here

Fresh Wash 1 Power Washing has been handling exterior cleaning challenges throughout Anchorage, NJ for years. We understand how the local climate affects your surfaces and what it takes to get them truly clean without causing damage.

You’ve probably seen other companies come through with basic pressure washers, soaking everything in sight and calling it done. We use the right pressure, the right techniques, and the right approach for each surface. Your vinyl siding gets treated differently than your concrete patio, because they require different methods to get clean safely.

When you’re dealing with your biggest investment, you want someone who knows the difference between cleaning and damaging. That’s what you get with us.

Our Power Washing Process

Straightforward Process, Professional Results

We start with a walkthrough of your property to identify what needs attention and any areas that require special care. Different surfaces need different approaches, so we assess your siding material, deck condition, and the type of buildup we’re dealing with.

Next comes the actual cleaning. For house washing, we use controlled pressure and appropriate cleaning solutions to remove dirt, mildew, and algae without damaging your siding or landscaping. Deck cleaning involves removing slippery buildup and restoring the natural appearance of wood or composite materials.

For concrete patios and walkways, we adjust our technique to handle tougher stains while protecting the surface integrity. If you’re getting roof cleaning, we use gentle soft wash methods that eliminate those black streaks without risking damage to your shingles. The whole process is designed to get maximum cleaning with zero damage to your property.

Everything Your Property Needs

Our exterior cleaning covers every surface that’s making your property look tired. House washing removes the film and discoloration from siding, brick, and other exterior walls. Deck power washing eliminates the slippery algae and embedded dirt that makes outdoor spaces uninviting.

Patio cleaning brings back the original color of concrete, stone, and brick surfaces. If you have decorative pavers on walkways or driveways, our paver cleaning process removes the buildup that’s dulled their appearance. For complete property transformation, roof cleaning eliminates those unsightly black streaks and moss growth.

We handle each surface with the appropriate pressure and technique. Your delicate siding gets gentle treatment, while tough concrete can handle more aggressive cleaning. The goal is always the same: maximum cleaning results with zero damage to your investment.

How often should I have my house power washed?

Most homes in Anchorage, NJ benefit from professional house washing every 12-18 months, depending on your specific conditions. If your property has significant tree coverage, faces moisture issues, or shows visible buildup like green algae or black streaks, annual cleaning makes sense. Homes with less environmental stress can often go 18-24 months between cleanings. The key is addressing buildup before it becomes embedded and harder to remove. Regular maintenance cleaning is always easier and more cost-effective than trying to restore heavily neglected surfaces.

Will power washing damage my siding or deck?

Professional power washing shouldn’t damage your surfaces when done correctly. The key is using appropriate pressure levels and techniques for each material. Vinyl siding requires much lower pressure than concrete patios. Wood decks need careful attention to grain direction and moisture content. We adjust our equipment and methods based on what we’re cleaning. DIY pressure washing often causes damage because homeowners use too much pressure or the wrong angle. Professional equipment gives us precise control over pressure and spray patterns, so we can clean effectively without causing harm to your property.

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

Pressure washing uses high-pressure water to remove dirt and buildup, while soft washing combines lower pressure with specialized cleaning solutions. For tough surfaces like concrete driveways, pressure washing works well. For delicate surfaces like roof shingles or painted siding, soft washing is safer and often more effective. The cleaning solutions in soft washing actually break down organic growth like algae and mildew, rather than just blasting it off. Many professional jobs use both techniques on the same property – soft washing for sensitive areas and pressure washing for durable surfaces that need more aggressive cleaning.

How long does the cleaning process take?

Most residential exterior cleaning projects take 2-4 hours, depending on your property size and what surfaces we’re cleaning. A basic house wash on an average home usually takes 2-3 hours. Adding deck cleaning, patio work, or roof cleaning extends the timeline. We work efficiently but don’t rush through the process – proper cleaning takes time to do right. Weather conditions can affect timing, since we need surfaces to be dry for optimal results. We’ll give you a realistic timeframe when we assess your property, so you know what to expect and can plan accordingly.

Do I need to be home during the power washing?

You don’t need to be present during the entire cleaning process, but we do recommend being available at the start for a brief walkthrough and at the end for a final inspection. During the walkthrough, we’ll point out any areas of concern and explain our approach. This is also when you can mention any specific problem areas or concerns. Most of the actual cleaning work happens without needing your involvement. We’ll make sure to communicate our schedule clearly and let you know approximately when we’ll finish, so you can check the results and ask any questions about the work completed.

What should I do to prepare my property for power washing?

Preparation is pretty straightforward but important for good results. Remove or secure any loose items from decks, patios, and around the house foundation – things like planters, outdoor furniture, decorations, and toys. Close all windows and doors, and let us know about any areas where water intrusion could be a problem. If you have delicate plants near the house, point them out so we can protect them during cleaning. Make sure we have access to water and electricity if needed. Most importantly, communicate any specific concerns about your property or areas that need special attention. Good preparation helps us work more efficiently and protects your belongings.
