Power Washing Services in Stamford, CT

On a lot of Stamford houses, the north side is the first to turn green. Shade, damp springs and trees close to the house let algae and mildew settle on siding, and after a couple of seasons it shows from the street. The same film builds up on decks, patios, fences and the concrete around the house.

Elite Gutter Care has been working on homes around Stamford since 2013, from Glenbrook and Springdale to Shippan and North Stamford. Along with gutters, our power washing service covers siding, roofs, decks, patios, fences, driveways and walkways, for homeowners and for commercial properties.

What we clean

House washing and siding cleaning

We wash wood, aluminum, vinyl and fiber cement siding. Vinyl siding is common in Stamford, and it shows green algae and gray mildew early. A good house wash takes off the growth, the dirt and the spider webs under the eaves, plus the black stains that collect under windows and around light fixtures.

On most houses we soft wash the siding: low pressure with a mild, environmentally safe soap that loosens algae and mildew, then a rinse. Blasting siding at close range can push water behind the panels or strip paint off wood.

Roof cleaning

The dark streaks on asphalt shingles are mostly algae, and moss tends to follow on the shaded side of the roof. We clean roofs with a soft wash too, without high pressure, since a pressure washer can loosen shingle granules. If the roof sits under heavy tree cover, the streaks will come back over time, and a wash every few years keeps them under control.

Deck, patio and fence cleaning

Wood decks turn gray and slippery as mildew and algae soak into the boards. We adjust the pressure for the wood, so we don’t raise the grain and leave the boards fuzzy.

We also clean stone, slate, concrete and paver patios, and we can wash fences on the same visit: post and rail, panel, vinyl and chain link.

Driveway, sidewalk and concrete cleaning

Driveways and sidewalks hold onto tire marks, oil spots, leaf stains and the dark growth that spreads where water sits. Concrete can take higher pressure than siding or wood, so this is where pressure washing does most of the work. We clean concrete driveways, sidewalks, front walks, steps and paver walkways.

Exterior gutter cleaning

White and light gutters develop black streaks on the outside face, the stripes that run down from the top edge. Cleaning the inside of a gutter doesn’t touch them. We wash the outside of the gutters as part of a house wash or on their own. To clear what’s inside the gutters as well, add our gutter cleaning to the same visit.

Pressure washing or soft washing?

Pressure washing relies on force and works best on hard surfaces such as concrete, stone and pavers. Soft washing relies on soap and a gentle rinse, which is what siding, roofs and painted surfaces need. Most houses get a mix of the two: a soft wash for the house and roof, then pressure washing for the driveway and walkways.

Washing takes off growth and grime, but some marks are set into the surface. Old oil spots in concrete and rust stains often fade without disappearing completely, and we’ll say so during the estimate.

What a visit looks like

• Before any water goes on, we inspect the property: the surfaces, the stains and anything fragile nearby, such as lights, vents or old paint.
• Each surface gets the pressure and cleaning solution that suits it, from soft washing on siding to higher pressure on concrete.
• The pressure washer runs with a mild, environmentally safe soap.
• Surfaces get a final rinse once the growth and dirt are off.

When to schedule house washing in Stamford

Late spring through early fall is the usual season. A wash in late spring clears the pollen and winter grime before deck season. Early fall works well too, before leaves stain decks and walkways. Most homes need a full house wash every year or two. Houses under big trees in North Stamford, Turn of River or along the Merritt tend to need it more often. Near the water in Shippan and the Cove, salt air and damp leave a film on siding and windows that builds up faster than people expect.

Homeowners getting ready to sell often book an exterior wash before listing photos, and a clean exterior also helps before painting, since fresh paint doesn’t stick well to mildew.

How much does power washing cost in Stamford?

Power washing prices depend on what’s being cleaned and how much of it there is. For a house, that means the size and height of the home and the type of siding. For a deck or driveway, it’s the square footage and how stained it is. Roofs vary by size and pitch. Every estimate is based on the specific job, so call us or send the form for a free one.

Commercial pressure washing

We also wash commercial buildings and the concrete around them. Tell us about the property, and we’ll set up a time for an estimate.

Common questions

Will pressure washing damage my siding?

It can, if the pressure is too high. That’s why we soft wash siding and roofs and keep high pressure for concrete and stone.

Do I need to do anything before you come?

Move cars out of the driveway, bring in small items from the deck or patio and close the windows.

Can you clean my roof without damaging the shingles?

We clean roofs with a soft wash and low pressure, which removes the black streaks without stripping granules.

Do you wash the outside of gutters?

The black stripes on the gutter face come off with a wash, and we can clean the inside of the gutters on the same visit.

Is the soap safe for my plants?

We use a mild, environmentally safe soap. Tell us about any plants you’re worried about during the estimate, and we’ll talk through how we’ll work around them.

How do I get a price?
