Pressure washing service in Wellesley, MA

High-pressure washing is not appropriate for most pre-war wood siding in Wellesley because it can strip paint, force water into wall cavities, and damage aged wood fibers. We use soft washing — low pressure combined with biodegradable cleaning solutions — which removes dirt, algae, and mildew without harming the surface. This method is the right choice for the historic colonials and Tudors that make up much of Wellesley's housing stock.

The green film on shaded wood decks is algae, and it builds up quickly under Wellesley's mature oak canopy where sunlight rarely reaches the surface. Deck washing with a biodegradable cleaning solution breaks down the algae and removes the slippery coating without raising the wood grain or damaging the finish. Annual cleaning keeps the surface safe and extends the life of the wood.

Massachusetts moisture is a year-round factor, and Wellesley's large lots with mature trees keep roof surfaces shaded and damp well past sunrise. Cedar shingles are especially porous and absorb moisture readily, giving moss a strong foothold on north-facing slopes. Asphalt shingles in shaded areas develop algae streaks and moss patches that trap additional moisture and accelerate granule loss.

Yes. Bluestone and other natural stone walkways in Wellesley develop algae and lichen coatings that make them slippery and dull their appearance. We use appropriate pressure and cleaning solutions matched to the stone type so the surface is cleaned without etching or discoloring the material. Steps and walkways near entryways are among the most important surfaces to keep clean for safety.
