What we power wash
- Vinyl and wood siding
- Wood decks and porches — including prep for stain or paint
- Driveways, walkways and patios
- Fences and other exterior surfaces
Coastal humidity makes mildew and algae a constant problem on Rhode Island homes. A professional wash brings surfaces back and is the first step of every exterior painting job we do.

Frequently asked questions
Is power washing safe for my siding?
We adjust pressure and method to the surface so it is cleaned without damage.
Do I need power washing before painting?
Yes — paint does not stick well to dirt and mildew. Washing is part of our exterior prep.
