Algae doesn't show up overnight. It creeps in slowly - usually starting near the roofline or in spots that stay shaded and damp. By the time most homeowners notice it, it's already streaking down the siding and making the whole exterior look neglected. That's exactly what we were dealing with at this Colts Neck home.
The siding had heavy green algae growth running down from the upper level, with visible staining concentrated across a large portion of the rear face of the house. It's one of those situations where the house itself is in great shape - the algae just completely hides that fact. A good house washing clears all of that away without damaging the siding.
We use a soft wash approach for jobs like this. That means we're applying a cleaning solution that actually kills the algae at the root rather than just blasting it off with pressure. High pressure alone can force water behind siding panels or cause damage over time. Soft washing treats the problem correctly and keeps the results lasting longer.
The difference speaks for itself. The siding went from streaky and green to clean, uniform gray - exactly the way it looked when it was new. No scrubbing, no damage, just a thorough professional wash that brought the whole exterior back to life. That's what a proper house washing is supposed to do.
If your siding is starting to show that same kind of buildup - whether it's algae, dirt, or just general grime - it's worth taking care of before it gets worse. We serve homeowners throughout Colts Neck and the surrounding area with house washing, window cleaning, gutter cleaning, and more.
