What Clean Exteriors Actually Look Like

You know that feeling when you drive up to a house that just looks right. Clean siding without streaks. Decks that don’t feel slippery underfoot. Patios where you’d actually want to set up furniture.

That’s what happens when exterior cleaning is done correctly. Your home stops looking tired and starts looking maintained. The black streaks disappear from your roof. Your deck becomes a space you want to use again.

Glen Cove’s coastal humidity creates the perfect environment for algae and mildew growth. Left alone, these contaminants don’t just make surfaces look dirty—they can actually break down materials over time. Professional house washing removes these threats while protecting the surfaces underneath.

Glen Cove Exterior Cleaning Experts

We Know New Jersey Weather

We’ve been handling exterior cleaning challenges specific to the Glen Cove area for years. We understand how coastal humidity affects different materials and which cleaning methods work without causing damage.

Our approach combines the right equipment with the right techniques for each surface. We’re not the crew that shows up with one pressure setting for everything. Different materials need different approaches, and we’ve seen what happens when that’s ignored.

You’re dealing with an investment that deserves protection, not just cleaning. That’s why we use soft wash methods where appropriate and adjust our approach based on what your specific surfaces actually need.

Our Power Washing Process

Here's How We Handle Your Property

We start with a walkthrough to identify what we’re working with. Different siding materials, deck types, and roofing require different approaches. This isn’t a one-size-fits-all situation.

For house washing, we typically use soft wash techniques that rely on proper cleaning solutions rather than high pressure. This removes algae, mildew, and dirt buildup without forcing water behind siding or damaging surfaces. Your siding gets clean without the risk.

Deck cleaning and patio cleaning involve different considerations. We adjust pressure and techniques based on whether we’re working with wood, composite, concrete, or stone. The goal is removing buildup and restoring the original appearance while protecting the surface integrity.

Roof cleaning gets special attention because it’s the most vulnerable area. We use low-pressure methods specifically designed to remove those black streaks and moss growth without damaging shingles or forcing water where it shouldn’t go.

What's Included in Professional Service

Our exterior cleaning covers the surfaces that actually matter. House washing includes all siding, trim, and accessible exterior surfaces. We handle vinyl, wood, brick, and composite materials with the appropriate methods for each.

Deck power washing and patio cleaning address your outdoor living spaces. We remove the slippery algae buildup, restore original colors, and prep surfaces for staining or sealing if that’s in your plans. Paver cleaning brings back the definition between stones that gets lost over time.

Glen Cove properties often benefit from comprehensive cleaning rather than tackling one surface at a time. When you pressure wash house siding but leave the roof streaked, the contrast actually makes both look worse. We coordinate the timing and methods so everything gets addressed properly and your entire exterior looks intentionally maintained.

How often should I have my house power washed in Glen Cove?

Most Glen Cove homes benefit from professional house washing every 12-18 months due to our coastal humidity. Properties with more shade or tree coverage might need attention annually, while homes with good sun exposure can often go closer to two years. The key indicators are visible algae growth, streaking on siding, or surfaces that feel slippery. Don’t wait until buildup becomes heavy—it’s harder to remove and more likely to cause staining.

Will power washing damage my siding or roof?

Proper power washing won’t damage your surfaces when done correctly. We use soft wash techniques for most house washing, which relies on cleaning solutions and low pressure rather than high-pressure blasting. For roof cleaning, we never use high pressure—only specialized low-pressure methods designed for shingles. The damage usually comes from DIY attempts with rental equipment or contractors who use the same high pressure on everything. Different materials need different approaches.

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

Pressure washing uses high-pressure water to blast away dirt and buildup. Soft washing uses specialized cleaning solutions and low pressure to kill and remove algae, mildew, and organic growth. For most house washing, soft wash is better because it actually kills the organisms causing the discoloration rather than just temporarily removing them. It’s also safer for siding, windows, and landscaping. We use pressure washing for concrete, driveways, and other hard surfaces where high pressure is appropriate.

How long does exterior cleaning take to complete?

Most residential exterior cleaning projects take 4-6 hours depending on home size and services included. House washing alone typically takes 2-3 hours. Adding deck cleaning, patio cleaning, and roof cleaning extends the timeline. Weather conditions affect timing—we won’t start if rain is expected within a few hours since surfaces need time to dry properly. We’ll give you a realistic timeframe during our initial assessment based on your specific property.

Do I need to be home during the power washing service?

You don’t need to be present during the entire service, but we do need access to water and electricity. We prefer someone available at the start for a final walkthrough and at completion for any questions. We’ll protect landscaping and outdoor furniture, but if you have specific concerns about certain plants or items, it’s helpful to point those out beforehand. We’ll secure the property and leave everything clean when finished.

What should I do to prepare for power washing service?

Close all windows and remove or cover outdoor furniture, decorations, and anything you don’t want to get wet. Move vehicles away from the immediate work area. We’ll handle protecting landscaping, but if you have particularly delicate plants, let us know in advance. Turn off any exterior electrical items like decorative lighting. Don’t worry about basic cleaning—we’re equipped to handle whatever condition your surfaces are in currently.
