Exterior washing for East Quogue homes, where tall trees keep siding, decks, patios and pool areas shaded, damp and quick to turn green.
Shade is a gift on a hot day and a headache for a house. On wooded East Quogue lots the north wall stays damp for weeks, deck boards grow a slick green coat and bluestone or paver patios darken with mildew and leaf stains.
Our crew washes house exteriors all over the hamlet, matching the method and the force of the water to what each surface can take.
The first few minutes are a walk around the house together. We point out fragile spots, such as old window glazing, loose trim or a stained fence, and talk about what you want to achieve.
Cedar shakes and vinyl siding are cleaned with what is called a soft wash. A mild solution goes on, sits for a few minutes to kill the algae and mildew at the root, and is rinsed away with gentle water. Strong jets can splinter cedar and push water behind siding, so we leave them in the truck.
Hard ground surfaces, like concrete drives, paver walks and the area around the pool, can usually handle more force. Brown leaf and tannin stains often lift well. Rust and oil may only fade, and we tell you that up front.
Wooden decks under trees get slick fast. We wash them gently enough that the grain is not torn, and the boards are left ready for stain or sealer if you plan to refinish.
Our cleaning solutions are eco-safe. Plants and lawn are wet down before and after, and we watch where the runoff goes, especially near ponds, wetlands or the bay.
Most owners here book in spring, so the house looks bright before summer guests arrive. Late fall, once the leaves have dropped, is a good second window.
Fences, stone walls, outdoor furniture and the outdoor shower can join the same visit. A gutter face streaked with black lines is often a quick win as well.
Weekend owners often want the outside done before Memorial Day. If you are in the city during the week, we can work while you are away, as long as we have access to an outdoor water spigot.
Homes on the bay side of the hamlet also pick up a salty film on windows and siding. A rinse after the wash helps clear that off.
