Restore the exterior,
without tearing it up.
Soft-wash on vinyl, stucco, and painted siding. High-pressure on concrete, pavers, and brick. We match the chemistry and pressure to the surface, so nothing gets etched, fuzzed, or stripped.

Tidewater-native protocols Coastal humidity, pine pollen, and salt-air wear patterns all run differently here than inland or out-of-state. Our methods are built for the region — not adapted from a national chain's playbook.

A typical visit.
Chemistry is safe for pets, kids, and the lawn — we rinse plantings before and after.
Protect
We tarp delicate plantings, move furniture clear of spray zones, and check for exposed outlets or open vents.
Pre-treat
Biodegradable detergent dwells on the surface so dirt and biology release without brute force.
Wash
Low-pressure rinse on vertical surfaces, high-pressure pass on horizontal hardscape.
Rinse and walk
Full rinse, replant tarps, then walk the job with you.
A rough guide.
Flat-rate by scope. Combined with window cleaning the same day, take $50 off the combined visit.
House only
Up to 2,400 sq ft, single story or two-story.
House + drive
Most suburban lots under a quarter acre.
Whole exterior
Larger lots, includes back patio up to 400 sq ft.
What homeowners worry about — straight answers
My siding grew green algae in one summer — can that possibly be normal?
Normal for Tidewater Virginia. Humid subtropical climate with 70°F+ dewpoints June-September creates growing conditions that inland or mountain equivalents don't see. Gloeocapsa algae (the black streaking on roofs) and moss varieties all thrive here. A pressure-wash cycle every 2-3 years on shaded sides is typical. North-facing siding on waterfront homes can need annual attention.
I heard pressure-washing actually makes mildew worse — is that right?
It can be — if done wrong. High-pressure (3000+ PSI) flat-jet cleaning drives spores deeper into porous siding, leaving roots to regrow faster. Soft-wash technique (500 PSI + appropriate surfactant) kills at the spore level and rinses clean. For Tidewater VA siding, soft-wash is the standard; high-pressure is reserved for concrete + heavily-oxidized aluminum where spores aren't the target.
When's the actual best time of year for a pressure-wash in Virginia?
Late April or early October. April tackles winter algae before summer growth accelerates it; October catches summer growth while weather stays warm enough for surfactant chemistry to work. Both windows avoid peak pollen (mid-April) and peak humidity (July-August). Mid-summer work is possible but chemistry struggles above 85°F ambient — more time, less lasting effect.
Common questions, straight answers.
Will it damage my paint or siding?
Not when done right. We never put high pressure on siding — it's a chemical wash at residential-tap pressure. High pressure is reserved for concrete and pavers.
What about my plants?
We rinse plantings with fresh water before the wash to flood the root zone, then again after. Detergents are biodegradable and diluted during the rinse.
Can you do a roof wash too?
Roof cleaning is a separate visit — different chemistry, different safety gear, different insurance class. Happy to quote it alongside.
