Full-Service Exterior Cleaning Services in Wayne County

We delivers a full range of exterior cleaning services designed to tackle every surface and cleaning challenge on your Apple Creek property. Our technicians specialize in both power washing techniques for hard surfaces and gentle cleaning methods for sensitive materials that could be harmed by excessive water pressure.

Home Exterior Cleaning and Soft Washing Services

Soft washing is a advanced cleaning technique that uses reduced PSI combined with environmentally safe cleaning solutions to safely remove contaminants, and other buildup from your home's exterior surfaces. Unlike traditional pressure washing, which uses high PSI (pounds per square inch) to blast away grime, soft washing lets the cleaning solution to do the work, making it the preferred method for sensitive surfaces including home siding, fiber cement siding, stucco, wood siding, and stone veneer.

The humid climate in our area creates perfect environments for organic growth on home exteriors. These organic contaminants not only detract from your home's appearance but can also cause harm to siding materials over time. Our house washing service destroys these growths at the root, eliminating the spores and inhibiting recontamination. Most homes in our service area need professional soft washing every one to two years, depending on factors like sun exposure, landscaping, and the orientation your home faces.

Surfaces we wash with soft washing:

• Vinyl siding and metal siding
• Hardie board and fiber cement siding
• Wood siding and trim
• Masonry and block surfaces
• Stucco (Exterior Insulation and Finish System)
• Natural stone and limestone
• Cedar shake and shake siding

Roof Cleaning Services

The black streaks you see on roofs throughout Apple Creek are not dirt or residue. They are colonies of Gloeocapsa magma, a type of cyanobacteria (blue-green algae) that eats the limestone filler in asphalt shingles. Without treatment, this algae growth causes early roof failure, cutting your roof's lifespan and potentially leading to major expense years too soon.

LuxWash uses the soft wash roof cleaning method endorsed by the Asphalt Roofing Manufacturers Association (ARMA). Pressure washing should not be used on shingle roofs because it can remove protective granules, cancel manufacturer warranties, and drive water underneath shingles where it causes structural problems and structural damage. Our low-pressure application delivers commercial cleaning solutions that eliminate algae, moss, lichen, and mold without any risk of damage to your roofing materials.

After a LuxWash roof soft wash treatment, you will see dramatic results. Black streaks disappear, uncovering the true color of your shingles. Even better, the treatment destroys organic growth completely, providing long-term protection. Most shingle roofs in Wayne County benefit from professional soft washing about every five years, though homes with lots of shade may require more frequent treatment.

Roof types we service:

• Asphalt shingle roofs (standard and dimensional shingles)
• Natural cedar and wood shingle roofs
• Natural slate and concrete tile
• Metal roofing systems
• Flat roof membranes (TPO, EPDM, mod bit)

Hardscape Cleaning

Concrete surfaces, walkways, entertaining areas, and other flatwork surfaces are tough enough to withstand high-pressure washing, making them perfect for our power washing services. Over time, concrete gathers contamination, spills, organic matter, and stubborn buildup that normal hose rinsing cannot remove. Our professional pressure washing equipment delivers water at the optimal PSI and GPM (gallons per minute) to extract embedded contaminants from concrete pores without harming the surface.

For Apple Creek driveways and concrete surfaces, we use professional surface cleaners that provide even cleaning coverage without the uneven lines that wand pressure washing equipment can leave behind. This professional equipment enables us to clean large areas effectively while delivering consistently pristine results across the entire surface.

Hardscape cleaning services include:

• Driveway restoration and oil spot treatment
• Walkway and walkway cleaning
• Outdoor and deck restoration
• Garage cleaning
• Block wall cleaning
• Interlocking paver and paving stone cleaning
• Decorative concrete cleaning

Concrete Sealing Services

After cleaning your concrete surfaces, we recommend our concrete sealing service to extend surface life and extend the life of your hardscaping. Concrete sealers create a protective barrier that resists moisture, and other contaminants, making upkeep easier and stopping damage from winter weather that are common during Ohio winters. Sealed concrete also prevents staining, meaning drips and tire marks clean up fast instead of soaking into the porous concrete surface.

We offer both below-surface sealers that absorb into the concrete for natural-look protection and film-forming sealers that create a shiny or satin finish for enhanced appearance. Our technicians will advise on the best sealer type based on your application, needs, and desired look.

Deck Restoration Services

Wood decks and synthetic decking require regular cleaning to maintain their beauty and strength. In Apple Creek's climate, decks are subjected to rain, snow, humidity, and temperature fluctuations that foster organic growth. Left alone, these organisms deteriorate wood fibers, causing fading, decay, and structural problems.

Our deck cleaning service removes surface contaminants and prepares your deck for sealing or treating. For wood decks made from pressure-treated lumber, natural cedar, or natural redwood, we use correct pressure levels and cleaning solutions that get results without damaging wood grain or splintering excessively. Synthetic and vinyl decking materials require more careful treatment, and our technicians adapt techniques accordingly to preserve manufacturer warranties.

Deck services include:

• Lumber cleaning and brightening
• Composite deck cleaning
• Sealer and sealer preparation
• Mildew and mildew treatment
• Algae and organic buildup elimination

Fence Restoration Services

Your fence is frequently the initial element visitors see about your property, and a dirty, green fence diminishes your home's complete curb appeal. Whether you have a wooden fence, vinyl fencing, wrought iron or decorative metal, chain link, or pasture fence, LuxWash has the equipment and experience to restore it to pristine condition.

Natural wood fences in Apple Creek are notably vulnerable to organic growth due to our moisture levels and precipitation. Our fence cleaning service removes these contaminants while protecting the wood's integrity. For homeowners planning to seal their wood fence, our cleaning service provides optimal preparation, ensuring optimal adhesion and durable results.

Fences we clean:

• Wooden fences (redwood)
• Vinyl fencing
• Aluminum and metal fences
• Wire fencing
• Split rail fencing

Gutter Service and Exterior Gutter Cleaning

Full gutters cause water to overflow and collect around your foundation, resulting in basement flooding, foundation damage, and washouts. Our gutter cleaning service extracts leaves, twigs, shingle granules, and debris from your gutters and downspouts, ensuring proper water flow away from your home.

Besides interior gutter cleaning, we offer exterior gutter cleaning services that eliminate the dark lines and discoloration that appear on the outside of gutters. These stains are caused by chemical reaction and bonding of grime and pollutants to the gutter surface. Our professional gutter brightening solutions break these bonds, restoring your gutters to their original white or colored finish.

Our Professional Cleaning Process

Every LuxWash project follows a systematic approach engineered to deliver superior results while safeguarding your property. Here is what you can expect when you hire us for exterior cleaning in Apple Creek:

Step 1: No-Cost On-Site Consultation and Estimate

We begin with a thorough inspection of your property to assess cleaning needs, identify any areas requiring focused treatment, and determine the best cleaning methods for each surface. Because every home is individual, we prefer to provide estimates on-site rather than over the phone. This lets us to give you exact pricing with no surprises. We calculate surfaces, note any current issues, and discuss your specific concerns and expectations.

Step 2: Pre-Cleaning Preparation

Before cleaning commences, we take measures to safeguard your property. This includes protecting patio furniture, securing windows and doors, hosing plants and landscaping to prevent damage from cleaning solutions, and noting any areas that require gentle treatment. We also trial cleaning solutions on hidden areas when working with unfamiliar surface types.

Step 3: Thorough Cleaning

Depending on the surfaces being cleaned, we apply the proper technique. Soft washing involves spraying our plant-safe cleaning solution at reduced PSI, allowing it to sit and destroy organic contaminants, then rinsing with gentle water. Pressure washing uses increased force for resilient surfaces like concrete, with our industrial surface cleaners ensuring consistent coverage. Throughout the process, we regularly check results and adjust techniques as needed.

Step 4: Thorough Rinse and Inspection

After cleaning, we perform a complete rinse of all treated surfaces and nearby areas. We complete a spot-free rinse on windows and glass surfaces to prevent water spots. Lastly, we conduct a thorough inspection to verify every area meets our exacting standards.

Step 5: Final Review and Satisfaction Confirmation

If you are home during service, we encourage you to walk through the completed work with us. We want you to see the results and verify your 100% satisfaction before we consider the job finished. If any area falls short of your expectations, we handle it on the spot.

Why Soft Washing is Superior vs Pressure Washing for Delicate Surfaces

Many homeowners think that stronger force equals better cleaning, but this is not always the case. Power washing is ideal for durable surfaces like concrete, brick, and certain stone. However, applying high pressure to sensitive materials causes significant damage:

• Vinyl: High pressure can damage siding panels, force water behind siding into wall cavities, and void manufacturer warranties.
• Wood surfaces: High pressure damages wood fibers, fuzzes, and can scar soft wood species.
• Asphalt shingles: Pressure washing removes protective granules, significantly cutting roof lifespan.
• Paint: High pressure peels paint, requiring costly repainting.
• Exterior stucco: Pressure can damage stucco and compromise the moisture barrier in EIFS systems.

Soft washing addresses these problems by having cleaning chemistry do the work instead of relying on excessive PSI. Our soft wash solutions are specially formulated to kill mold, mildew, algae, and bacteria at the root. The result is a deeper, extended clean that stays clean as quickly as pressure-washed surfaces often do. When you blast mold and algae, you may remove the obvious problem, but spores remain hidden in the surface and come back quickly. Soft washing kills the organisms totally, stopping rapid regrowth.

Addressing Apple Creek's Specific Cleaning Challenges

Our community sits in Wayne County in the middle of Northeastern Ohio, an area defined by humid summers, freezing temperatures, and abundant moisture throughout the year. This climate creates specific challenges for exterior surfaces:

Moisture and Organic Growth

Northeast Ohio's humid conditions, particularly during warm months, produce optimal situations for algae, mold, and mildew proliferation. Homes with north-facing walls, heavy tree coverage, or nearness to ponds experience faster organic growth. The dark staining you see on homes throughout Wayne County is not just unsightly; it is biological matter actively consuming and damaging your property's surfaces.

Cold Weather Damage

Our winters subject exterior surfaces to cyclical freeze-thaw cycles. Water penetrates porous materials like concrete and wood, then grows as it freezes, causing damage, spalling, and structural damage over time. Routine maintenance removes debris and organic matter that retain moisture against surfaces, while sealers provide enhanced protection against water intrusion.

Natural Debris and Pollen

Wayne County's rural character means numerous trees, which deposit natural matter, and material that collect on exteriors, and other surfaces. This debris retains moisture and provides nutrients for biological and algae growth. Homes near deciduous and evergreen trees require regular cleaning to avoid buildup.

Agricultural Dust and Particulates

Wayne County and surrounding areas are situated in an rural region. Dust from field work, country roads, and harvesting lands on exterior surfaces, reacting with moisture to create difficult grime. This is especially noticeable on light-colored or white siding, fencing, and outdoor structures.

How often should I have my house soft washed?

How often should I have my roof washed?

What is the black streaks on my roof?

The black streaks on roofs are colonies of Gloeocapsa magma, a cyanobacteria that feeds on calcium carbite filler in asphalt shingles.
