This Holmdel home had a pretty common problem. Green algae and grime had worked their way into the siding over time, and the chimney had that dull, grimy look that builds up slowly enough that most homeowners stop noticing it. That's how it usually goes - it creeps up on you.
We used soft washing to handle this one. It's not the same as blasting a surface with high pressure. Soft washing uses a low-pressure application with the right cleaning solution to actually kill the algae at the root, not just push it around. That's an important distinction, especially with vinyl siding where high pressure can cause real damage.
The siding came back bright and clean, and the brick chimney - which had taken on a lot of surface dirt - cleaned up nicely too. The whole exterior just looks sharp again. It's one of those jobs where the difference is hard to ignore.
Dirt and algae buildup isn't just a cosmetic issue either. Left alone, organic growth can hold moisture against your siding and cause it to break down faster over time. Getting it cleaned regularly is one of the easier ways to protect your investment in the home.
We also offer gutter cleaning and window cleaning for homeowners who want to knock out multiple things at once. A lot of our customers in Holmdel and the surrounding area find it easier to bundle services rather than scheduling separately.
