Pressure washing uses high-pressure water to blast away dirt and staining, great for concrete, brick, patios, and driveways.

Soft washing uses low pressure and special cleaners to gently remove algae, mold, and stains from siding, roofs, and gutters without damage.

At Gaeta Exterior Services, we use both methods to give all clients a safe, thorough, and long-lasting clean.

Fall (October–November) – After most leaves have dropped, to prevent clogs and ice dams over the winter.

Spring (April–May) – To clear out leftover debris from winter storms and prep your gutters for heavy spring rains.

Mid-Summer Check (Optional) – If you have a lot of nearby trees, a quick mid-season cleaning keeps gutters flowing properly.

Gaeta Exterior Services recommends at least 2 gutter cleanings per year to avoid water damage, foundation issues, and overflowing gutters.

It is best to soft wash your home every 1–2 years, depending on tree coverage, weather, and surface type.

Spring (April–June) – The most popular time to wash away winter grime, mold, and algae, and freshen up your siding for the season.

Early Fall (September–October) – Ideal for removing summer buildup like mildew, pollen, and algae before cold weather sets in.

Homes in shaded or wooded areas may need annual soft washing, while sunnier homes can often go every other year.

Regular soft washing keeps siding, trim, and gutters looking clean, prevents damage, and boosts curb appeal year round.

Exterior Windows:

• Every 1–3 months is ideal for most office buildings.
• High-traffic areas, city centers, or buildings near trees and busy roads may need monthly cleanings to maintain a professional appearance.
   

 Interior Windows:

• Every 3–6 months typically keeps interiors looking bright and clean.
• Conference rooms, lobbies, and client-facing areas may need more frequent cleanings.
   

High-Rise & Specialty Properties:

At Gaeta Exterior Services, we use a safe, low-pressure soft washing method to clean and protect your roof without causing damage. Our process removes black streaks, moss, algae, and lichen while extending the life of your shingles and improving curb appeal.

Unlike traditional pressure washing, our roof cleaning solution is not rinsed off immediately. It’s applied evenly and allowed to dwell on the surface, continuing to break down organic growth over time. The cleaning agents work gradually, with sunlight drying up all mold making it brittle, rainwater naturally rinses the roof in the following weeks.

Most roofs show visible improvement within 7–14 days, but heavily infested or shaded roofs may take 30–60 days to reach full results. This slow, natural process ensures a deeper clean and longer-lasting protection, without harsh pressure or potential shingle damage.

Unlike standard house washing, roof washing requires stronger detergents applied at full strength to properly kill and dissolve organic growth deep within your shingles. Because of this, roof washing is typically double the cost of a standard house wash — it’s a more detailed process using higher-grade cleaning solutions, greater safety measures, and longer treatment times to ensure lasting results.
