What Clean Exteriors Actually Look Like

You know that feeling when you drive up to your house and actually feel proud of how it looks? That’s what happens when years of built-up grime, algae, and weathering get properly removed from your siding, deck, and outdoor spaces.

New Jersey’s humid summers and wet springs severely damage your home’s exterior surfaces. What starts as a thin film becomes thick, stubborn buildup that makes even newer homes look aged and neglected. Professional house washing effectively removes these contaminants while preserving the integrity of the underlying materials.

The difference isn’t just cosmetic. Clean surfaces last longer, resist future buildup better, and maintain your property value. Your deck becomes safe to walk on again without that slippery algae coating. Your siding stops harboring the moisture and organic matter that leads to more serious problems down the road.

Our Power Washing Process

Here's Exactly What Happens

We start with a walkthrough of your property to identify what surfaces need attention and determine the best cleaning approach for each area. Different materials require different pressure levels and cleaning solutions to get optimal results without causing damage.

For house washing, we typically use a soft wash system that applies cleaning solution at low pressure, lets it work on the buildup, then rinses thoroughly. For harder surfaces like concrete patios and pavers, we use higher pressure to remove embedded dirt and stains. Deck cleaning varies based on whether you have wood, composite, or other materials.

The entire process usually takes a few hours, depending on your property size and which services you’re having done. We protect your landscaping, move outdoor furniture when needed, and clean up completely when finished. You’re left with surfaces that look dramatically better and will stay cleaner longer.

Everything Your Property Needs

Our exterior cleaning covers every surface that affects your home’s appearance and condition. House washing removes the green and black streaks from your siding, brick, or stucco. Deck power washing eliminates the slippery buildup that makes outdoor spaces unsafe and uninviting.

Roof cleaning addresses those black streaks and moss growth that make your roof look old and can actually shorten its lifespan. Patio cleaning brings back the original color of your concrete, stone, or brick surfaces. Paver cleaning restores driveways and walkways that have become dull and stained over time.

We handle the technical details like choosing the right pressure levels, cleaning solutions, and application methods for each surface type. Spotswood homeowners deal with specific challenges from our local climate—heavy pollen in spring, humidity-driven algae growth in summer, and organic debris from fall leaves. Our approach accounts for these local conditions to carry out results that last.

How often should I have my house pressure washed?

Most Spotswood homes benefit from professional house washing every 1-2 years, depending on your specific conditions. Homes with more shade, near wooded areas, or facing north tend to develop algae and mildew faster and may need annual cleaning. Properties with full sun exposure and excellent air circulation can often go 2-3 years between cleanings. Observable green or black streaks on your siding, a chalky or dingy appearance, or surfaces that feel slippery or rough to the touch are key indicators. Regular cleaning actually makes each subsequent cleaning easier and helps your exterior surfaces last longer.

Will power washing damage my siding or deck?

Professional power washing, when done correctly, won’t damage your surfaces. The key is matching the pressure and cleaning method to your specific materials. Vinyl siding, for example, responds well to soft washing with low pressure and cleaning solutions, while concrete can handle much higher pressure. We adjust our approach based on what you have—older wood siding gets gentler treatment than newer composite materials. The damage you see from DIY pressure washing usually comes from using too much pressure, getting too close to the surface, or using the wrong spray pattern. Professional equipment and experience prevent these problems.

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

Pressure washing uses high-pressure water to blast away dirt and buildup, while soft washing relies more on cleaning solutions applied at low pressure to break down contaminants. Soft washing is better for delicate surfaces like roof shingles, painted siding, and older materials that could be damaged by high pressure. Pressure washing works well for concrete, brick, and other tough surfaces where you need mechanical action to remove embedded dirt. Most professional exterior cleaning jobs use a combination of both methods—soft washing for your house and roof and pressure washing for your driveway and walkways. The goal is getting everything clean without causing damage.

How long does the cleaning process take?

A typical house washing takes 2-4 hours, depending on your home’s size and condition. Adding deck cleaning, patio cleaning, or other services extends the time accordingly. Heavily soiled surfaces need more time for the cleaning solutions to work effectively. We’re not rushing through your property—proper exterior cleaning requires time for solutions to break down buildup, thorough rinsing, and attention to detail around windows, landscaping, and outdoor fixtures. Weather conditions also affect timing, as we won’t work in high winds or when rain is imminent. Most homeowners are surprised how much better their property looks when the job is done right rather than rushed.

Can you clean my roof safely?

Yes, we provide roof cleaning using soft wash methods that don’t require walking on your roof or using high pressure that could damage shingles. Our roof cleaning process applies specialized solutions from the ground or ladder that eliminate the black streaks, algae, and moss growth that make roofs look aged. This approach is much safer than pressure washing a roof and more effective than trying to scrub or scrape off the buildup. Regular roof cleaning not only improves This service improves your home’s appearance and extends your roof’s lifespan by removing organisms that feed on roofing materials. We take safety seriously and use proper equipment and techniques for all elevated cleaning work.

What should I do to prepare for power washing?

Close all windows and doors, and remove or cover outdoor furniture, decorations, and anything else you don’t want to get wet. We’ll handle moving larger items if needed, but smaller personal items should be cleared from the work areas. Turn off any outdoor electrical equipment and let us know about any loose siding, damaged areas, or special concerns you have about your property. If you have delicate plants near the house, we can cover them during cleaning. Most preparation takes just a few minutes, and we’ll walk through everything with you before starting work. The goal is protecting your belongings while giving us clear access to all the surfaces that need cleaning.
