Our Cleaning Services
Power Washing
Power washing removes built-up dirt, mildew, algae, and oxidation from decks, siding, driveways, patios, and walkways. We adjust pressure based on the surface — high pressure for concrete, lower pressure for wood and painted surfaces. Improper pressure destroys wood grain and strips paint, which is why technique matters as much as equipment.
Soft Washing
Soft washing uses low pressure with specialized cleaning solutions to safely clean delicate surfaces — vinyl siding, painted wood, stucco, and roofing materials. It kills mold, mildew, and algae at the root rather than just blasting it off the surface.
Gutter Cleaning
Clogged gutters cause water damage to fascia, soffits, siding, and foundations. We clean gutters, clear downspouts, and inspect for damage or sagging. Gutter cleaning pricing: $3/linear foot (1st story), $4/linear foot (2nd story), $7/linear foot (3rd story).
Window Washing
Interior and exterior window cleaning for residential properties. We clean glass, frames, sills, and screens. Professional window washing makes a noticeable difference in natural light and curb appeal.
Roof Washing
Roof washing removes black streaks (Gloeocapsa magma algae), moss, and lichen that shorten roof lifespan. We use soft wash techniques only — never high pressure on roofing materials.
Driveway Cleaning
Concrete and paver driveway cleaning removes oil stains, tire marks, mold, and winter salt residue. Restores the original appearance and reduces slip hazards.
Screen Cleaning and Installation
We clean, repair, and install window and porch screens. Damaged screens get replaced; dirty screens get cleaned and reinstalled.
How It Works
Exterior Cleaning FAQs
How much does power washing cost in Vermont?
Power washing in Vermont costs approximately $0.50 per square foot for standard residential surfaces. A typical driveway (600 sq ft) costs around $300. A full house exterior wash ranges from $400–800 depending on size and accessibility. We provide free estimates within 48 hours.
Will power washing damage my deck?
It can, if done incorrectly. Too much pressure destroys wood grain and raises fibers, creating a rough surface that splinters. Our crew adjusts pressure based on wood type and condition. For older or softer wood, we use a soft wash approach with lower pressure and cleaning solutions.
How often should gutters be cleaned in Vermont?
Most Vermont homes need gutter cleaning twice per year — once in late spring after pollen and seed season, and once in late fall after leaves drop. Homes surrounded by trees may need a third cleaning in midsummer.
Is soft washing safe for vinyl siding?
Yes. Soft washing is the recommended method for vinyl siding. It uses low pressure with biodegradable cleaning solutions that kill mold and algae without risking damage to the siding surface.
Do you clean roofs?
Yes. We use soft wash techniques to remove black algae streaks, moss, and lichen from asphalt shingles, metal roofing, and slate. We never use high pressure on roofing materials — it voids most manufacturer warranties and causes damage.
