What You Can Expect
Exterior washing is more than blasting water. Done right, it lifts stains without etching concrete or forcing water behind siding. Our team uses controlled pressure, measured flow, and cleaning agents selected for the surface. We rinse thoroughly and keep landscaping protected. You get a steady, repeatable result that looks good and lasts.
Prepared Work Area
We move light items, cover outlets where needed, protect plants, and set safe hose routes. Vehicles and pedestrians are kept clear of overspray.
Right Method for Each Surface
Driveways, pavers, decks, fences, stucco, and storefronts all respond differently. We choose pressure, temperature, and dwell time based on the material—not a one‑size setting.
Straightforward Pricing
We provide clear scopes up front. No surprise add‑ons. If we find anything you should know about—loose grout, lifting paint, or failing sealant—we point it out before moving forward.
Surfaces We Clean
Concrete & Hardscape
Oil spots, rust marks, tire tracks, and coastal grime build up on driveways, carports, patios, pool decks, and sidewalks. We pre‑treat where needed, use a surface cleaner for even passes, then rinse curb to curb.
- Driveways and curb returns
- Sidewalks, entryways, ADA ramps
- Pavers and stone, with sand retention in mind
Home Exteriors
For siding and trim—stucco, fiber cement, wood, or vinyl—we use low‑pressure washing with detergents that lift salt, soot, and mildew without scarring. Windows and seals stay intact.
- Single‑ and multi‑story homes
- Gutters, fascia, soffits
- Garage doors and shutters
Decks & Fences
Softwoods and hardwoods require care. We set a safe PSI, rinse with the grain, and avoid “furring” the fibers. If you plan to stain or seal, we’ll wash with that in mind so it’s ready for finishing once dry.
Commercial & HOAs
We clean storefronts, loading areas, dumpster pads, and community walkways during off‑hours to keep foot traffic safe. Slip hazards get treated and rinsed fully before opening.
Our Process
- Assessment: Walk the site, note delicate areas, and confirm water access and drainage.
- Prep: Move light items and protect plants and electrical components.
- Pre‑treat: Apply the right detergent to lift organic growth and stains.
- Wash: Use controlled pressure, correct nozzles, and steady passes.
- Rinse & Post‑check: Final rinse from top to bottom and walk‑through with you.
We keep runoff off garden beds and away from storm drains wherever feasible.
Why Local Experience Matters
Santa Cruz has sea spray, fog, redwood shade, and plenty of windblown sand. Those conditions call for detergents that break down organic growth while staying safe for nearby landscaping. We also adjust for cooler morning temps and afternoon sun so cleaning agents don’t dry on the surface. The result is a consistent, even finish rather than striping or patchy spots.
Coastal Grime
Salt film and mildew respond best to pre‑treatments followed by low‑pressure rinsing on painted and stucco surfaces.
Shade & Moisture
North‑facing sides and shaded walkways often need a little more dwell time to release buildup safely.
Traffic Patterns
We watch water flow and direct it so sediments don’t settle back on clean areas or down the block.
Care for Your Property
We aim to leave every jobsite tidy. Hoses stay organized, ladders are placed with care, and we use corner guards where hoses cross thresholds. Hardware, mailboxes, and fixtures are rinsed free of residue. If we see pre‑existing issues, we point them out and, when asked, share a practical next step.
- Plant‑safe practices and targeted application
- Respect for neighbors and shared spaces
- Clear notes on problem areas
Service Area
We work across Santa Cruz County, including Santa Cruz, Capitola, Soquel, Live Oak, Scotts Valley, Aptos, and nearby coastal neighborhoods. If you’re just outside the county line, call and we’ll let you know if we can schedule you soon.
How to Get a Quote
Most estimates can be given from a few photos and some basic measurements. For larger sites or commercial work, an on‑site visit helps us set accurate scope and timing. When you reach out, share what surfaces you want cleaned, the last time they were washed, and any concerns you’ve noticed.

- Photos of the area from a few angles
- Approximate square footage or length by width
- Notes on stubborn stains or high‑traffic zones

Frequently Asked Questions
Will high pressure damage my siding?
On siding, we use a low‑pressure wash paired with detergents that do the heavy lifting. That keeps paint and sealants intact and avoids forcing water behind panels.
How often should I schedule exterior washing?
Along the coast, once a year keeps most surfaces in good condition. Areas under heavy trees or constant shade may benefit from a light wash every 6–9 months.
Are detergents safe around plants and pets?
We use targeted application and plenty of rinse water. If a product requires special handling, we’ll tell you before we begin and protect the area fully.
What if I only need a small area done?
We handle single‑area touch‑ups as well as larger projects. Send a photo and we’ll confirm scope and pricing.
