House Washing

What is soft-washing and how is it different from pressure washing?+

Soft-washing uses low pressure (similar to a garden hose) combined with specialized cleaning solutions to safely remove algae, mildew, and dirt. Unlike high-pressure washing, soft-washing won't damage siding, paint, or window seals—making it the preferred method for vinyl, brick, and painted surfaces.

Is house washing safe for my siding?+

Yes. Our soft-wash method is specifically designed to be safe for all siding types including vinyl, aluminum, wood, brick, and stucco. We use carefully measured cleaning solutions and low pressure to clean without causing damage.

How long does house washing take?+

Most residential homes take 2-4 hours depending on size and condition. We'll provide an estimated timeframe when we quote your project.

How long will the results last?+

With proper soft-wash treatment, results typically last 12-18 months in Michigan's climate. Homes in heavily shaded areas or near woods may need service sooner due to increased algae and mildew growth.


Roof Cleaning

Will roof cleaning damage my shingles?+

No. We use a gentle soft-wash method specifically designed for asphalt shingles. Unlike high-pressure washing (which can strip granules and void warranties), our low-pressure treatment safely removes algae and moss without damaging your roof.

Will cleaning void my roof warranty?+

Our soft-wash method is safe and will not void manufacturer warranties. In fact, many warranties require proper maintenance. High-pressure washing can void warranties, which is why we never use it on roofs.

How long do roof cleaning results last?+

Results typically last 12-24 months depending on shade coverage and environmental factors. North-facing roofs and homes near trees may see algae return sooner.


Concrete & Driveway Cleaning

Can you remove oil stains from my driveway?+

Yes. We use specialized degreasers and high-pressure techniques to remove most oil stains, tire marks, and rust stains. While some deeply set stains may lighten rather than disappear completely, we achieve excellent results on most concrete surfaces.

Will pressure washing damage my concrete?+

When done properly, no. We use appropriate pressure settings and techniques for concrete surfaces. Our experienced team knows how to clean effectively without etching or damaging concrete, pavers, or decorative finishes.


Gutter Cleaning

How often should I have my gutters cleaned?+

We recommend twice per year—once in late spring and once in late fall after leaves have fallen. Homes near many trees may benefit from more frequent cleaning to prevent overflow and foundation damage.

Do you clean downspouts too?+

Yes. Complete downspout flushing is included with our gutter cleaning service. We ensure water flows freely from your roof to ground level.

What is gutter whitening?+

Gutter whitening removes the black streaks (tiger stripes) that form on the exterior of gutters. These streaks are caused by asphalt runoff and environmental buildup. We use specialized cleaners to restore gutters to their original appearance.


Window Cleaning

Do you clean interior and exterior windows?+

Yes. Our window cleaning service includes both interior and exterior glass, plus tracks, screens, and sills. We protect your surfaces and leave windows streak-free.

Do you remove and clean screens?+

Yes. We carefully remove screens, clean them, and reinstall them as part of our complete window service.

How do you clean second-story windows?+

We use extension poles and proper safety equipment to safely clean second-story windows from the ground. For difficult-to-reach windows, we may use ladders with stabilizers to protect your siding.
