House Washing Forest Acres

What Clean Really Looks Like

You know that feeling when you drive up and actually feel proud of your home again. That’s what happens when years of grime, algae, and weather stains disappear from your siding, deck, and walkways.

Your neighbors notice. Your family notices. More importantly, you stop making mental notes about “getting around to cleaning that” every time you pull into your driveway.

Clean isn’t just about appearance either. When we remove the algae and mold that build up on your exterior surfaces, we’re eliminating the stuff that makes your deck slippery and your siding deteriorate faster than it should. Your surfaces last longer, look better, and stay safer for your family.

Professional Power Washing Services

We Know Forest Acres Properties

Fresh Wash 1 Power Washing has been cleaning homes throughout Forest Acres, NJ for years. We understand how New Jersey’s humidity and seasonal weather create perfect conditions for algae growth on your siding, decks, and roofs.

We’re not the guys who show up with a pressure washer and hope for the best. We use the right technique for each surface – soft washing for your roof and siding, targeted pressure for your concrete and pavers.

You’ll work with professionals who know the difference between cleaning your surfaces and damaging them. That matters more than you might think.

Exterior Cleaning Process

Here's Exactly What Happens

First, we assess your property and identify which surfaces need soft washing versus pressure washing. Your vinyl siding and roof get treated differently than your concrete patio – using the wrong approach damages surfaces or delivers poor results.

We pre-treat problem areas where algae, mold, or stains have built up over time. This step breaks down the contaminants so they lift away cleanly instead of just getting pushed around by water pressure.

Then comes the actual cleaning – methodical, thorough, and done with professional-grade equipment that delivers consistent results. We work from top to bottom, ensuring runoff doesn’t re-contaminate areas we’ve already cleaned. You’ll see the difference immediately, but the full results show up over the next day or two as everything dries completely.

Complete Exterior Cleaning Services

Everything Your Property Needs

Our power washing service covers your entire exterior – house washing for siding and brick, deck cleaning that removes built-up grime and slippery algae, and patio cleaning that brings back the original color of your concrete or stone surfaces.

We also handle roof cleaning using soft wash methods that safely remove those black streaks and moss without damaging your shingles. Many Forest Acres homeowners discover that cleaning their roof at the same time as their siding creates a dramatic, uniform improvement across their entire property.

Paver cleaning is another specialty – those decorative walkways and driveways that looked great when new but have faded over time. We can restore their original appearance and remove the weeds and moss that grow between the joints.

How often should I have my house power washed in Forest Acres?

Most Forest Acres homes benefit from professional house washing every 1-2 years, though it depends on your specific conditions. Homes with more shade or moisture exposure may need annual cleaning, while others can go longer. The key indicators are visible algae growth, green or black staining on your siding, or that overall dingy appearance that makes your home look older than it is. Regular cleaning actually extends the life of your exterior surfaces and prevents stains from becoming permanent.

Is power washing safe for all types of siding materials?

Not all siding should be power washed the same way, which is why technique matters. Vinyl siding, brick, and concrete can handle higher pressure, while wood siding, stucco, and painted surfaces require soft washing with lower pressure and specialized cleaning solutions. We adjust our approach based on your specific materials. Using too much pressure can damage surfaces, strip paint, or force water behind your siding where it doesn’t belong. The right approach cleans effectively without causing problems.

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

Power washing uses high-pressure water to blast away dirt and grime – great for concrete, brick, and other hard surfaces. Soft washing uses lower pressure combined with specialized cleaning solutions to kill and remove algae, mold, and mildew – better for roofs, siding, and delicate surfaces. Most properties need both techniques in different areas. Your roof gets soft washed to avoid shingle damage, while your driveway gets power washed for maximum cleaning power. We use whichever method works best for each surface.

Will power washing remove oil stains from my driveway?

Fresh oil stains come out relatively easily with the right cleaning solutions and pressure washing techniques. Older, set-in stains are more challenging and may require multiple treatments or specialized degreasers. We can significantly lighten most stains and completely remove many of them, but very old or deep stains might leave some shadow behind. The key is realistic expectations – we’ll tell you upfront what’s possible with your specific stains. Even when stains can’t be completely eliminated, the overall improvement to your driveway’s appearance is usually dramatic.

How long does it take to power wash a typical house?

A typical Forest Acres home takes 2-4 hours for complete exterior cleaning, depending on the size of your property and what surfaces need attention. House washing alone might take 1-2 hours, while adding deck cleaning, patio cleaning, and walkways extends the time. We don’t rush the process because thorough cleaning requires proper pre-treatment time and methodical technique. You’ll be able to use your outdoor spaces immediately after we finish, though some surfaces look even better once they’ve had time to fully dry.

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

Close all windows and doors, and move any outdoor furniture, potted plants, or decorative items away from the areas being cleaned. We’ll handle the rest, including protecting your landscaping and any sensitive areas. If you have outdoor electrical outlets or fixtures in the cleaning area, point them out to us so we can take extra precautions. Most preparation is common sense – anything you don’t want to get wet should be moved or covered. We bring our own water and equipment, so you don’t need to do anything special with your utilities.
