Power Washing in Newcastle, ON

Road Dust and Mildew on Rural Newcastle Homes

If you live along Highway 2 or one of the concession roads, the side of the house facing the road takes the most dirt. Dust and traffic film build up on vinyl until the colour looks a shade darker than it should. Siding cleaning at low pressure with a cleaning solution brings it back without driving water up behind the panels, which is what happens when someone blasts siding from below at full power.

Shaded walls, sheds and board fences grow mildew and algae, especially where shrubs or a tree line keep them damp. That green film holds moisture against the surface. We pre-treat the worst of it so the wash can lift it at a gentle setting, which matters on wood fences and shed siding that would splinter under high pressure. If a fence or shed is due for stain, washing is the first step, and the wood needs a couple of dry days before any stain goes on.

Concrete can take more. Patios, walkways and the pad in front of a garage come up well, though old oil stains may fade rather than vanish. If you want several areas done, ask for a package price, since combining the deck, patio and driveway costs less than booking each one on its own. Pressure washing has a $150 minimum.
