Frequently Asked Questions

How often should I have my home’s exterior cleaned?

For most homes in Portland, we recommend a comprehensive exterior cleaning once a year, typically in the spring. However, certain areas like gutters may need attention twice a year. The frequency can vary based on your home’s location, surrounding vegetation, and other environmental factors.

Is pressure washing safe for all surfaces?

No, high-pressure washing can damage some surfaces, especially wood siding, asphalt shingles, and older brickwork. We use soft washing techniques for delicate surfaces and reserve pressure washing for hardier materials. Our technicians are trained to select the appropriate cleaning method for each surface.

Will your cleaning products harm my plants or pets?

We use eco-friendly cleaning solutions that are safe for plants and pets when used as directed. We also take precautions such as wetting down plants before cleaning and rinsing thoroughly afterward. It’s best to keep pets indoors during the cleaning process, but they can safely return to the area once we’re finished.

Can exterior cleaning really improve my home’s energy efficiency?

Yes, particularly when it comes to roof cleaning. A clean roof, especially if it’s a light color, reflects more sunlight and absorbs less heat. This can help keep your home cooler in the summer, potentially reducing your cooling costs. Clean windows also allow more natural light in, which can reduce the need for artificial lighting.
