House Washing in Albany, NY

Albany homes collect grime fast, especially on shaded sides, north-facing walls, and areas near trees where moisture lingers. If your siding looks green, streaky, or just dull, a proper house wash tightens up curb appeal without risking damage to siding, paint, or landscaping.

We use a soft wash process that relies on the cleaning to do the work, then we rinse with controlled pressure. It is a safer approach for everything from basic vinyl to detailed trim and higher-end finishes.

Griffin Power Washing provides house washing in Albany, NY using a soft wash process designed for siding, trim, and exterior surfaces. If your home has green algae, mildew staining, cobwebs, or that dull film that makes everything look tired, we can restore curb appeal without blasting high pressure at your home.

Our soft wash process

1) Walkthrough and surface check

We identify siding type, fragile areas, oxidation concerns, and the sections that need extra attention. We also confirm water access and what you want prioritized.

2) Prep and protection

We take care around plants, outlets, fixtures, and entryways. The goal is a clean result with a clean jobsite.

3) Soft wash treatment and controlled rinse

We apply the right cleaning solution to break down organic growth and grime, then rinse with low pressure appropriate for the surface.

4) Final detail check

We do a final pass from normal viewing angles, focusing on the front elevation, corners, and high-visibility sections.

Materials and expectations

House washing removes organic growth and grime. Some issues are not dirt, like oxidation on older vinyl or paint failure. If we see something that will not change with normal washing, we tell you before we start so expectations are clear.

House washing Albany FAQs

Is soft washing safe for siding?

Yes. Soft washing uses low pressure and the right detergents to remove organic growth without forcing water behind siding or damaging trim.

Will this remove the green algae on my house?

In most cases, yes. Green staining is usually organic growth, and soft washing is designed to treat it at the source.

Do I need to be home during the service?

Not always. As long as we have water access and the work areas are accessible, many homeowners do not need to be on-site.

Are you insured?

Yes. We carry insurance appropriate for residential and commercial work. If you need documentation, request it during scheduling.

How often should a house be washed in Albany?

It depends on shade, moisture, and tree cover. Homes with heavy shade and north-facing walls usually need cleaning more often.
