Exterior Cleaning in Ridgewood, NJ

Ridgewood is one of Bergen County's oldest villages, and its housing reflects more than a century of building, from late-1800s Victorians and Queen Annes to 1920s and 30s Tudor Revivals, Dutch Colonials, Craftsman homes, and Cape Cods. These homes are gorgeous, but they were not built for a pressure washer cranked to full blast. Original wood trim, cedar shake, painted clapboard, leaded glass, and aged mortar all demand a gentler approach, which is exactly what soft washing was made for.

The other Ridgewood factor is the trees. The mature canopy that makes the Village so desirable also keeps north-facing walls, roofs, and walkways damp and shaded for most of the day. That is a perfect environment for the black algae streaks you see on roofs, the green film on siding, and the slick buildup on bluestone and brick walkways. We treat the cause, not just the surface, so it stays cleaner longer.

We are locally owned and fully insured, not a national franchise running a script. We treat a 1910 Ridgewood Victorian differently than a newer infill build, because they need different care. Many Ridgewood homeowners put their exterior on a recurring schedule so the house stays camera-ready year-round without anyone having to remember to call.
