Services

Everything I wash —in plain English.

I’ll quote any of these on-site. The price you get is the price you pay — no surprise add-ons, no upsells.

  • Driveway & Sidewalk Wash

    High-pressure clean on concrete — oil drips, tire marks, mildew, and that gray haze that makes the whole front of the house look tired.

    Surface-cleaner pass at 3500 PSI for an even, streak-free finish — no zebra stripes from a wand. Pre-treat for oil and rust, post-rinse with a degreaser where it needs one. The driveway, the walk to the front door, the side gate path, the garage apron. North-facing concrete that grows mildew gets a surfactant pre-soak so it does not come back in three months.

  • House Wash (Soft-Wash)

    Low-pressure detergent wash for Hardie plank, brick, and stucco — kills the algae and mildew, never blasts the paint.

    Soft-washing is the right tool for siding, period. I run a low-pressure tip with a sodium-hypochlorite + surfactant mix that breaks down mildew and Gulf-Coast green algae at the source. Eaves, soffits, downspouts, window frames, and the shaded north wall that always goes first. Plants get pre-rinsed and post-rinsed so nothing burns.

  • Roof Soft-Wash

    Black streaks gone — chemistry, not pressure. Safe for asphalt shingles and the algae spores that cause Gloeocapsa magma.

    Those dark streaks on the north slope are a living organism — Gloeocapsa magma. High pressure on a roof voids the shingle warranty and tears off granules. I apply a properly diluted soft-wash mix, let it dwell, and rinse. Streaks are gone same day; the algae is killed at the root so it does not re-grow for years.

  • Fence & Gate Wash

    Cedar privacy fence going gray and green? A medium-pressure wash brings the wood color back without fuzzing the grain.

    Fences need a careful touch — too much pressure and you tear the grain open and shorten the life of the wood. I use a wide fan tip at the right distance to lift dirt, mildew, and the green film without damaging the surface. Optional brightener restores the natural cedar tone. Both sides if I can get to them.

  • Deck & Patio Wash

    Wood decks, composite, paver patios, pool decks — gentle wash, neat finish, ready for the next cookout.

    Pressure-treated pine, cedar, Trex, IPE, brick pavers, travertine, flagstone — each surface gets a different tip and a different chemical. No splintered boards, no etched stone. Furniture moved, furniture moved back. Joints re-swept with polymeric sand on request after a paver clean.

  • Rust & Oil Stain Removal

    Battery acid, fertilizer rust ring, motor oil drips — the stains a regular wash will not touch.

    Rust takes a different chemical than mildew — usually oxalic-acid based, applied carefully and neutralized. Old motor oil needs a degreaser dwell, sometimes two passes. I do not promise to remove every stain (some have been there too long), but I will tell you up-front if I think it will come out.

  • Gutter Face Brightening

    Those black tiger-stripes on the front of your gutters? They come off — and a soft-wash treatment keeps them off.

    Gutter streaks are oxidized aluminum and embedded grime, not regular dirt. A specialty gutter cleaner plus hand-scrubbing on the worst sections brings the original white finish back. Internal flush optional — I am not climbing the roof, but I can rinse downspouts and check for clogs from the ladder.

  • Concrete Sealing

    After a deep wash, a penetrating sealer keeps oil and water from soaking in — and the next clean is half the work.

    Optional add-on after a driveway or pool-deck wash. A penetrating siloxane sealer (no shiny film) bonds inside the concrete pores so stains stop in their tracks. Re-apply every 3–5 years. I tell you honestly whether your driveway needs it or not — Houston's expansive clay-soil cracks are not something a sealer fixes.

Whole-exterior wash? Ask about a bundle.

House + driveway + fence + gutters in one visit usually saves about 15% versus pricing each separately. One trip, less mobilizing, better price.
