Pressure Washing in Washington County, RI

People here say South County, not Washington County, and South County has a weather problem of its own. You are close enough to the water that salt gets on everything. Salt film holds moisture against siding, and moisture is what algae needs. That is why the north wall of a Narragansett house can go green in three years while the same house twenty miles inland takes six.

Shingle-style and cedar-clad homes need the most care and the least pressure. Cedar weathers to gray on its own and it is easy to ruin, so it gets a low-pressure wash with a plant-safe detergent and never a pressure washer. Same for the painted clapboard and trim on older Westerly and Wakefield houses. Our house washing is a soft wash for exactly this reason. The cleaner does the work and the water only rinses. Roofs get the same treatment. Black streaks on shingles are algae, and roof cleaning takes it off without touching the granules.

Hardscape is the other half of the job down here. Sand tracks onto patios and walkways all summer. Deck boards go gray and slick from salt air and shade. We run a surface cleaner on concrete and pavers so the whole slab comes out even instead of striped, and we brighten wood rather than blast it. See deck and patio cleaning and driveway and concrete cleaning.

Seasonal rentals and second homes get scheduled around turnover. Most owners want the outside done before Memorial Day and again after Labor Day, and we can work from photos and a gate code without you driving down. We do small commercial too, restaurants, marina buildings, and main-street retail, on a recurring schedule outside business hours.
