See Your Property's True Colors Again

You know that feeling when you drive up and your home just looks tired? Those black streaks on your roof, the green film on your siding, the slippery deck that’s lost its original color. It happens gradually, so you might not notice until you really look.

Our exterior cleaning brings back what you’ve been missing. Your siding reveals its true color again. Your deck becomes the space you actually want to use for summer barbecues. Your roof stops looking like it needs replacing when it really just needs a proper clean.

The difference isn’t just cosmetic. When you remove that buildup of mold, mildew, and grime, you’re protecting your investment. You’re extending the life of your surfaces. You’re creating outdoor spaces that feel welcoming again, not something you apologize for when guests come over.

Metuchen Power Washing Experts

We Know What Works Here

Fresh Wash 1 Power Washing understands Metuchen properties because this is where we work every day. We’ve seen how New Jersey’s humidity and seasonal changes affect different exterior materials, from vinyl siding to composite decks to concrete patios.

We use the right approach for each surface. Soft washing for roofs that need gentle care. Pressure washing for concrete that can handle more aggressive cleaning. We know which techniques work and which ones cause damage.

Local homeowners choose Fresh Wash 1 because we show up when we say we will, use professional equipment that gets results, and understand that your time matters as much as your property’s appearance.

House Washing Process

Straightforward Process, Professional Results

Our process starts with an assessment of your property’s specific needs. Different surfaces require different approaches, and we evaluate what we’re working with before we start.

For house washing, we begin with a pre-treatment that breaks down the buildup of mold, mildew, and grime. Then comes the actual cleaning using appropriate pressure levels for your siding material. Vinyl, brick, and wood all get treated differently because they respond differently.

Deck cleaning involves removing slippery algae and embedded dirt that makes your outdoor space look worn down. For concrete patios and paver cleaning, we use techniques that restore original color without damaging the surface. Roof cleaning gets special attention with soft wash methods that remove those black streaks without risking damage to your shingles.

The result is exterior surfaces that look refreshed and protected, ready for whatever New Jersey weather brings next.

Many Metuchen homeowners discover that what they thought was aging or wear was actually just buildup that professional cleaning removes completely. Your property often looks better after a thorough exterior cleaning than it has in years, and you avoid the expense of premature replacement or repairs.

How often should I have my house power washed?

Most Metuchen homes benefit from professional house washing every 1-2 years, depending on your specific conditions. Homes with more shade, near trees, or facing certain directions may need annual cleaning because they collect more organic growth. Properties in full sun might go longer between cleanings. The key indicators are visible discoloration, green or black streaks, or surfaces that feel slippery. Regular exterior cleaning actually extends the life of your siding and prevents the buildup from becoming more difficult and expensive to remove later.

Is pressure washing safe for all types of siding?

Different siding materials require different approaches, and that’s why professional equipment and experience matter. Vinyl siding can handle moderate pressure when applied correctly, but too much pressure can crack or damage it. Brick can typically handle higher pressure, while wood siding needs gentler treatment. Stucco and painted surfaces often require soft washing techniques that rely more on cleaning solutions than high pressure. The wrong approach can force water behind siding, strip paint, or cause permanent damage. Professional house washing services adjust their methods based on your specific siding material.

Will power washing damage my landscaping or plants?

Proper exterior cleaning protects your landscaping through preparation and technique. We pre-wet plants and cover sensitive vegetation before starting. We use biodegradable cleaning solutions when needed and rinse thoroughly afterward. The bigger risk to your plants actually comes from the mold, mildew, and algae buildup on your home’s exterior, which can spread to landscaping over time. Most plants handle occasional water exposure just fine, especially when the process removes harmful organic growth from nearby surfaces. We know how to work around landscaping safely.

Can I rent equipment and do this myself?

Rental equipment is available, but there’s a significant difference in results and safety. Consumer-grade pressure washers often lack the power for effective cleaning or the adjustability for different surfaces. More importantly, using the wrong pressure or technique can damage siding, force water into places it shouldn’t go, or create safety hazards. Professional deck cleaning and house washing involves understanding which surfaces need high pressure, which need soft washing, and which cleaning solutions work best. Most homeowners find that professional results last longer and actually cost less when you factor in equipment rental, time, and the risk of having to fix damage.

How long does the cleaning process take?

Most residential exterior cleaning projects take 2-4 hours, depending on your home’s size and what surfaces need attention. A basic house washing might take 2-3 hours, while comprehensive service that includes deck cleaning, patio cleaning, and roof cleaning could take a full day. The actual time depends on the amount of buildup, the size of your property, and which services you’re having done. We work efficiently because we have the right equipment and experience, but we don’t rush through areas that need extra attention. You’ll typically have your outdoor spaces back and ready to use the same day.

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

Power washing uses high-pressure water to remove dirt, grime, and buildup from durable surfaces like concrete, brick, and some types of siding. Soft washing combines lower pressure with specialized cleaning solutions to safely clean delicate surfaces like roofs, painted siding, and wood. The choice depends on what you’re cleaning and what kind of buildup you’re dealing with. Roof cleaning almost always requires soft washing to avoid damaging shingles, while concrete patio cleaning typically uses higher pressure for effective results. We use both methods as needed, switching between techniques based on each surface’s requirements and condition.
