Power Washing in Middle Village, Queens

Middle Village is full of street trees, and that is part of its charm. It also means leaves stain the concrete in fall, pollen coats everything in spring, and the shady side of a row house or a back patio turns green with algae.

Our crew matches the spray to the surface. Poured concrete can take a strong wash, old brick needs a softer touch, and wood fences need the gentlest setting of all. One corner gets tried first, and the rest follows once it looks right.

Row houses share a front walk with the neighbors, and stoops are often brick or cast stone. Many have been there for decades, and the mortar between the bricks can be soft. We use a wide fan tip and keep the wand moving, so the dirt goes and the mortar stays.

Leaf tannins leave brown shadows on light concrete each autumn. A cleaner that loosens them, followed by a rinse, usually brings the concrete back to an even color.

Back yard patios on the shady side of the house grow a slick green film. It looks like dirt but acts like ice when it rains, which is a worry for small kids and older parents. Washing it off makes the patio safer to walk on.

Wood fences between yards pick up mildew low to the ground. Wood needs low pressure and some patience, because a strong blast can raise the grain and leave fuzzy stripes.

Detached homes with siding get a soft wash, worked from top to bottom with a cleaner that does the heavy lifting, so water is not forced up behind the panels.

Shop owners on Metropolitan Avenue use us for the sidewalk out front, the entry tiles and the area under awnings. We can start early, before the gates go up, so the morning trade is not disturbed.

Before we arrive, move cars, close windows and bring in patio cushions, toys and anything you do not want wet.

A yearly wash keeps most driveways and stoops looking good. Shady patios may need it every spring.

Garage doors and the short aprons in front of them collect a black line of tire grime and road splash along the bottom. A soft wash on the door panels and a stronger wash on the concrete clean both without stripping paint.

Spring is the busiest season here, right after the pollen drops and before the first back yard barbecue. Late fall, once the leaves are down, is the second. Booking ahead for either window gives you the widest choice of days.

After the outside is done, see carpet cleaning for the inside, or browse the Middle Village page.
