FAQs
What is that green and black stuff on my siding?
The green and black substance on your siding is algae and black mold. It usually becomes apparent on the north side of the building. This is the result of Morning dew not being exposed to the sun, which leaves moisture on the surface. This creates an ideal environment for the growth of algae, mold, and mildew.
Is there anything we can do to keep our house clean for as long as possible?
Our cleaning solution has an algicide included to help prevent mold and algae from growing back quickly, also when cleaning with a professional cleaning solution, the solution will get in all the nooks and crannies and kill all the mold and algae that we can’t see with our eyes. This is very important because mold and algae would return quickly when pressure washing without the aid of a cleaning solution.
What surfaces do we clean?
We have a proprietary cleaning solution for every surface of your home, including limestone, vinyl, stucco, Aluminum, metal, wood, composite decking, asphalt roofing shingles, cedar shakes and more. Our soft wash cleaning method is ideal for every substrate that has become infested with mold, mildew, and allergy
How long can I expect my house to remain clean?
Typically you can expect your house to remain algae free for 2 or 3 years before you need us to return for cleaning. However, every house is different depending on moisture from creeks, plants, vegetation, etc.
Homeowners usually keep us on a 2 year cleaning schedule, however, a large number will have us come every year to keep a clean and healthy home.

A standard house wash includes everything from the gutters to the ground. This includes exterior gutters, soffit, facia, siding, doors, and exterior windows. This does not include wiping the windows by hand, however, we do offer window cleaning as an additional service.

How long is a House washing process?
Typically a two-story house wash will take 1.5 hours to perform.
What are these tiny, hard, black specs on my siding?
Those tiny specs you see on your siding are called “artillery fungus” or “shotgun fungus”. They come from the bark mulch that you have decorating the exterior of your home. When you buy mulch, it is important to find mulch that does not have bark as an ingredient. The fungus is already present in the mulch when purchased. This fungus will shoot up from the mulch and attach itself to the siding, and is extremely difficult to remove after it has attached itself to the siding.
Will your cleaning solution harm my plants or animals?
No, our solution is biodegradable. We take special care to ensure that no plants or animals will be in danger.
We saturate the plant beds before cleaning, and rinse the leaves after we have finished, to ensure a safe cleaning process.
We love our furry friends! We will make sure no pet toys are present when cleaning. also, we will move any pet bowls far away from the cleaning area.
