Pressure washing in Princeton, MA

Wachusett Mountain sits on the western side of Princeton, the town center is small and old, and East Princeton is the other village. Route 31, Route 62, and Route 140 do most of the connecting. Between the elevation and the tree cover, this is one of the cooler, shadier places in the county.

Cool and shaded means moss, not just algae. On a north roof slope at this height you get real moss taking hold in the shingle seams, and moss holds water against the deck underneath. It has to come off carefully. Scraping or blasting takes granules with it. A soft wash with the right detergent kills it and lets weather carry it away over the following weeks, which is the approach the shingle industry recommends.

Cedar and wood siding is common here and it is easy to ruin. Cedar weathers to gray on its own, and the only right method is low pressure with a plant safe cleaner. Never a wand.

Gutters fill fast under this much canopy, and a full gutter on a cold hill is how ice dams get started.

Princeton is a long run from Pomfret, so we take it by request rather than on a schedule. Text photos to (860) 553-9326 and we will send a flat price and tell you honestly what the timing looks like.
