House Washing

Low Pressure Siding Cleaning

Are you looking to have your home’s exterior cleaned? Whether simply keeping up with routine maintenance, trying to fix neglect from previous owners, or improving your curb appeal before selling, a simple house wash will make your property shine! Rest assured that our professional pressure washing services will get the results you desire. All of Vermont, especially the Champlain Valley area, have warm and wet summers, which leads to organic growth on your home’s exterior. Don’t let unsightly mold, moss, algae, mildew, or lichen spores impact the value of your property.

If you search Google for ways to increase your home’s curb appeal, or routine exterior property maintenance, you will be hard pressed to find a site that does not recommend pressure washing your property. In fact, having your property pressure washed is on many top 5 lists for topics related to the best things you can do to increase your home’s value before selling, as well as ensuring your siding sees its full lifespan and does not need early replacement.

Of course, in the hands of the inexperienced or uninformed, a pressure washer can certainly damage surfaces such as vinyl siding and painted wood. Over time, vinyl siding can oxidize where it is most exposed to the sun. Most times, this is a gradual fading that is unnoticed, unless that oxidation is disturbed by an outside force…SUCH AS HIGH PRESSURE. This is the main reason you do not want to use high pressure when cleaning vinyl siding (aside from excess water getting behind the siding, and the potential for damage due to the high pressure causing the vinyl to flex and break). You can end up with uneven, blotchy siding, that is only rectified by a specific chemical, and a very labor intensive process that consists of brushing each lap of vinyl piece by piece. Also, if working with painted wood siding, using high pressure will remove layers of paint, causing premature stripping and repainting to be needed.

Our low pressure house washing methods are the proper way to clean, as we allow our biodegradable soaps to breakdown the organic growth that is staining your siding. This, followed by a low pressure rinse, will leave a sparkling clean property, without the need to worry about damage being done to gutters, window seals, trim, or blowing paint chips all over the place!
