Our Process

Inspect → Protect → Treat → Clean → Verify.

Five steps. Every job. The process is the difference between a clean that lasts and a rinse that doesn't.

  1. 1

    Inspect

    We look at what each surface is made of, what is growing or stained on it, and what condition it is in, before anything is planned.

  2. 2

    Protect

    Landscaping, fixtures, outlets, doors, and vulnerable materials are covered or pre-rinsed before cleaning starts.

  3. 3

    Treat

    Surface-appropriate solutions are applied to break down algae, mildew, and organic staining at the source, not just rinsed around.

  4. 4

    Clean

    The right method for the material: low-pressure soft washing where pressure would do harm, controlled surface cleaning where it belongs.

  5. 5

    Verify

    We walk the results with you, check the details, and rinse down surrounding plantings once more before we pack up.

1

Inspect

Know the surface before touching it

Every job starts with the walk-around: what material is each surface, what's growing or stained on it, how old is it, and what condition is it in? The answers change the plan. Vinyl isn't wood, wood isn't concrete, and a roof is none of the above.

This is also when we identify everything vulnerable nearby, plantings, fixtures, finishes, drainage, so the protection plan fits the property, not a template.

2

Protect

Preparation is most of the safety

Landscaping gets pre-wetted and covered where needed. Electrical outlets and fixtures are shielded. Stained wood doors, furniture, and delicate surfaces are moved back or protected. Water flow is planned before the first drop.

No professional can promise zero risk to every plant and material, but careful preparation is what prevents the common, avoidable problems.

3

Treat

Address the cause, not just the color

The dark streaks, green shading, and gray film on exterior surfaces are usually living organisms, algae, mildew, and their biofilm. Rinsing around them accomplishes little.

Surface-appropriate solutions are applied to break down that organic contamination so it can be rinsed away gently. This is why treated surfaces stay clean longer than ones that were only blasted with water.

4

Clean

The right method, the right pressure, or none

Now the method matches the material: low-pressure soft washing for siding and delicate surfaces, treatment-based application for roofs, pure water for windows, controlled surface cleaning for concrete and flatwork.

The goal is always the same, an even, thorough clean with no damage and no stripes, we just get there differently depending on what's being cleaned.

5

Verify

We check our own work before you do

When the cleaning is done, we walk the property again: gutters rinsed, windows spotted-checked, plantings rinsed down one more time, and every agreed scope item confirmed against the result.

If something isn't right, we fix it before we leave. That's what 'verify' is for.
