See Your Property's True Potential

Your home’s exterior takes a beating from Island Heights’ coastal environment. Salt air, humidity, and constant moisture create the perfect conditions for algae, mold, and grime buildup that makes even well-maintained properties look neglected.

When you invest in professional exterior cleaning, you’re not just removing surface dirt. You’re eliminating the organic growth that’s actually feeding on your siding, decking, and roofing materials. This means your surfaces stay cleaner longer and last significantly longer before needing replacement.

The difference is immediate and dramatic. Neighbors notice. Your property value reflects it. And you get to enjoy coming home to a house that looks like it belongs in Island Heights’ beautiful waterfront community.

House Washing Process

Simple Process, Professional Results

We start with a thorough assessment of your property to identify the specific challenges your surfaces face. Different materials require different approaches, and we adjust our pressure, cleaning solutions, and techniques accordingly.

For your house washing, we use a soft wash system that eliminates algae, mold, and grime without the high pressure that can damage siding or force water behind your exterior walls. This method actually kills the organic growth at the root, so your surfaces stay cleaner longer.

Deck cleaning and patio cleaning require different techniques entirely. We remove built-up grime and slippery algae while preparing the surface for optimal staining or sealing results. For roof cleaning, we use specialized methods that remove those black streaks and moss without damaging your shingles.

The entire process is designed around protecting your property while delivering the deep clean that brings back your home’s original appearance.

Our residential exterior cleaning covers every surface that faces Island Heights’ challenging coastal environment. House washing includes all siding materials, trim, windows, and architectural details that accumulate salt residue and organic growth.

Deck power washing and patio cleaning address the safety hazards of slippery algae while restoring the original color and texture of your outdoor living spaces. We handle wood, composite, concrete, stone, and brick surfaces with the specific techniques each material requires.

Paver cleaning brings back the vibrant colors of your walkways and driveways, while our roof cleaning service removes the black streaks and moss that can actually shorten your roof’s lifespan. Each service can stand alone, but most Island Heights homeowners find the comprehensive approach gives them the uniform, clean appearance that makes their property stand out in the best possible way.

How often should I have my house power washed in Island Heights?

Most Island Heights homes benefit from professional house washing every 12-18 months due to our coastal environment. The salt air, humidity, and moisture accelerate algae and mold growth compared to inland areas. Homes with more shade or those facing north may need cleaning annually, while properties with good sun exposure and drainage might stretch to every two years. The key is addressing the organic growth before it becomes embedded in your siding materials, which makes cleaning more difficult and potentially damaging.

Will pressure washing damage my siding or roof?

High-pressure washing can absolutely damage siding, roofing, and other exterior surfaces when done incorrectly. That’s why we use soft wash techniques for most applications, especially on vinyl siding, painted surfaces, and roofing materials. Soft washing uses specialized cleaning solutions and low pressure to kill organic growth at the source rather than just blasting it off. This approach is actually more effective at preventing regrowth while being completely safe for your property. We only use higher pressure on appropriate surfaces like concrete and certain types of stone.

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

Power washing uses high-pressure water to remove dirt and grime through force, while soft washing uses low pressure combined with specialized cleaning solutions to kill and remove organic growth. For most residential applications, soft washing is superior because it addresses the root cause of discoloration and growth rather than just the surface symptoms. Soft washing also eliminates the risk of water intrusion behind siding or damage to delicate surfaces. The results last longer because you’re actually killing the mold, algae, and bacteria rather than just temporarily removing them.

How long does the exterior cleaning process take?

A typical house washing service takes 2-4 hours depending on your home’s size and the extent of cleaning needed. Deck cleaning usually adds another 1-2 hours, while patio and paver cleaning varies based on square footage. Roof cleaning can take 2-3 hours for safety and thoroughness. We can often complete multiple services in a single day, but we never rush the process. Proper dwell time for cleaning solutions and careful attention to detail are what deliver the lasting results you’re paying for.

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 recommend being available at the start for a quick walkthrough and at the end for a final inspection. We’ll need access to exterior water spigots and may need to move outdoor furniture or decorations. If you have specific concerns about plants, outdoor equipment, or particular areas of focus, it’s helpful to discuss these before we begin. We’re fully insured and experienced with working around your property safely and respectfully.

What should I do to prepare my property for cleaning?

Remove or secure any lightweight outdoor furniture, decorations, and personal items from the areas being cleaned. Close all windows and doors, and let us know about any problem areas like loose siding or previous water intrusion issues. If you have delicate plants near the house, we can cover them, but moving potted plants away from the immediate work area is helpful. We’ll handle most of the preparation, including covering electrical outlets and protecting landscaping, but your input about any specific concerns helps us deliver the best possible results.
