Pressure Washing

Pressure Washing in East Hampton, NY

Siding, decks, walkways, and patios cleaned of salt film, mildew, and grime.

Why Salt Air Makes This a Recurring Job Out Here

Homes near the ocean and the bays pick up a fine film of salt that dulls siding and speeds up mildew growth, especially in shaded or low-airflow spots. Inland and tree-covered properties fight a different battle — algae and moss that thrive in the damp, shaded conditions common around Springs and other wooded East End neighborhoods. Either way, buildup that's left alone doesn't just look bad; it holds moisture against siding and decking and shortens the life of paint and stain underneath it.

We wash siding, decks, walkways, patios, and pool decking, adjusting pressure and technique to the surface — a wood deck gets different treatment than vinyl siding or a concrete walkway. On painted or shingle-style exteriors, we use soft-wash methods rather than blasting at full pressure, which protects the paint film and the wood underneath instead of stripping it.

What Affects the Price

Pressure washing pricing depends on a few factors we walk through on-site rather than quoting blind over the phone:

Surface area and stories — a single-story ranch is a different job than a two- or three-story shingle-style home.
Surface type — cedar shake, vinyl siding, wood decking, and concrete all call for different pressure and cleaning solutions.
Degree of buildup — a yearly maintenance wash is quicker than a first-time clean on a property that's gone several seasons untouched.
What's included — siding-only jobs price differently than siding plus deck, walkway, and patio combined.

Areas We Wash Most

Salt exposure hits hardest closest to the water, which makes this one of our most requested services in Montauk and Amagansett. Shaded, wooded properties in Springs tend to call more for algae and moss cleanup than salt film.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will pressure washing damage cedar shake or shingle siding?

Not with the right approach. We use lower-pressure, soft-wash methods on cedar shake and painted siding to lift dirt and mildew without forcing water behind the shingles or eroding the wood surface.

How often should a house be pressure washed out here?

Most homes benefit from a wash once a year, typically in spring before the season starts. Shaded, tree-covered lots that hold moisture — common in wooded areas like Springs — often need it more like twice a year to stay ahead of algae and moss.

Do you pressure wash decks before staining or sealing?

Yes — deck washing is usually the first step before staining, since stain won't bond properly over dirt, mildew, or old finish residue.

Can you remove the black and green streaks on my siding?

In most cases, yes. Those streaks are usually algae or mildew, and a wash with the right cleaning solution and gentle pressure clears them without stripping paint.
