House Washing in Troy, NY

If your siding is starting to look dull, streaky, or green on the shaded side, that’s normal around here. Between tree cover, moisture, and the seasonal grime that builds up fast, Troy homes take a beating.

We offer house washing using a low-pressure soft wash method that cleans siding safely without tearing up your exterior, landscaping, or paint. The goal is simple. Make the place look sharp again.

Troy House Washing Built for City Lots, Shaded Siding, and River-Weather Grime

In Troy, the shaded side of the house is usually the first to turn green. Tight lots, tree cover, and damp pockets around gutters and downspouts make algae and mildew show up fast. We wash exteriors using low pressure based on soft wash so the cleaning does the work without forcing water behind siding.

What We Remove From Troy Homes

  • Green algae and mildew growth on shaded siding
  • Dirt, pollen film, and seasonal grime buildup
  • Cobwebs and buildup around soffits and trim lines

Our House Washing Process

1) Walkaround and surface check

We confirm siding type, growth zones, and oxidation risk, then plan the clean so the finish stays even. Prep details and common questions are covered on FAQs.

2) Protect landscaping and prep the work area

We wet down landscaping and set up a clean work path around the home so runoff is controlled and plants stay protected.

3) Soft wash treatment

We apply a professional cleaning solution using low pressure to break down algae and mildew so we are not “blasting” growth off the siding.

4) Controlled rinse, detail, and final check

We rinse top to bottom, detail trim lines and corners, then do a final check for missed spots. See recent results on our work.

FAQs

Will soft washing damage my siding?

No. The whole point is to keep pressure controlled and let the treatment remove growth safely. We adjust the method based on the surface.

How long does house washing take in Troy?

Most homes take a few hours depending on size, buildup, and how detailed the trim and exterior are.

Do I need to be home?

Not always. As long as we have water access and any gates or pets are handled, we can complete the wash while you’re out.

How often should a house be washed?

It depends on shade and tree cover. Troy homes with heavier shade typically need it more often because algae returns faster.

Do you also offer roof washing in Troy?

Yes. If the roof has black streaks, moss, or discoloration, we handle it with roof washing in Troy using a soft wash process.
