Power / Pressure Washing FAQs
How often should exterior surfaces be power washed?
Most driveways, patios, and hard surfaces should be professionally power washed once every 12 months to remove dirt, algae, and buildup caused by New Jersey’s changing weather conditions.
What surfaces do you powerwash?
We clean driveways, sidewalks, patios, pool decks, brick, concrete, pavers, and fences using professional-grade equipment and surface cleaners that restore curb appeal without damaging materials
Do you power wash houses or siding?
We do not high-pressure wash home exteriors. For siding and delicate surfaces, we use a soft-wash method that safely removes mold and mildew without risk of damage.
Is pressure washing safe for my surfaces?
Yes — our technicians adjust pressure and nozzles to match each surface. Concrete and pavers can handle higher PSI, while fences, wood, and composite materials are cleaned with lower, safe settings.
Do you use chemicals or detergents?
When needed, we use eco-friendly cleaning solutions that loosen stains and organic growth for a deeper, longer-lasting clean — always safe for surrounding plants and pets.
Can I bundle power washing with other services?
Yes. Many homeowners schedule power washing together with gutter or window cleaning for a full property refresh in a single visit.
House Washing (Soft Wash Method) FAQs
What's the difference between soft washing and pressure washing?
Soft washing uses low pressure and specialized cleaning solutions to safely remove mildew, mold, and algae from siding without damage — perfect for vinyl, stucco, and brick surfaces.
How often should I have my house washed?
Once every 12–18 months is typical in New Jersey’s climate to maintain curb appeal and prevent buildup that can stain or deteriorate siding.
Will soft washing harm my plants or landscaping?
No. We pre-wet plants, use biodegradable cleaning agents, and rinse thoroughly to ensure your landscaping stays protected.
Window Cleaning FAQs
Do you clean both the inside and outside of windows?
Yes. Our full-service window cleaning includes glass, screens, sills, and frames — leaving a streak-free finish inside and out.
How often should windows be cleaned?
Most homeowners schedule cleaning twice a year, typically in spring and fall, to maintain clarity and appearance.
Can you clean high or hard-to-reach windows?
Yes. We use professional extension poles and ladders to safely reach second-story or difficult areas.
Gutter Cleaning & Downspout Flushing FAQs
When is the best time to clean gutters in New Jersey?
We recommend cleaning in late spring and late fall to prevent blockages from
leaves, pollen, and debris.
Do you flush the downspouts?
Yes. Every gutter service includes a complete downspout flush to ensure proper
water flow and prevent overflow.
How do I know if my gutters need cleaning?
Overflowing gutters, pooling water, or visible plant growth are signs your system is
clogged and needs service.
Dryer Vent / Dryer Duct Cleaning FAQs
How often should I have my dryer vent cleaned?
At least once a year — more often for large households or rental properties.
Regular cleaning improves efficiency and reduces fire hazards.
What are signs my dryer vent is clogged?
Clothes take longer to dry, the dryer feels hot to the touch, or there’s a burning
smell — all indicators of restricted airflow.
Can a clogged dryer vent raise my energy bill?
Yes. A blocked vent forces your dryer to work harder and longer, wasting energy
and increasing wear on your appliance.
Handyman Services FAQs
What types of small projects do you handle?
We take care of “Honey-Do List” tasks — hanging shelves and pictures, replacing
filters and batteries, cleaning exhaust vents, and other small home maintenance
jobs.
Do you charge hourly or by the project?
It depends on the task. Most small repairs and maintenance items have flat rates
with transparent pricing before work begins.
Can you help with recurring maintenance tasks?
Yes. Many clients schedule routine handyman visits to keep filters, alarms, and
fixtures up-to-date year-round.
Water Heater Flush & AC Coil Cleaning FAQs
Why Should I Flush My Water-Heater?
Flushing removes sediment buildup that causes inefficiency, noise, and shortens your system’s lifespan.
How Often Should I Clean My AC Coils?
At least once per year. Clean coils improve airflow, reduce cooling costs, and help prevent mid-season breakdowns.
Does This Service Help Lower Utility Bills?
Absolutely. Routine water heater and AC maintenance boosts efficiency — an important benefit for New Jersey homeowners facing high energy costs.
