Chicago's four-season climate is brutal on exterior surfaces. Winter road salt tracks across driveways and garage aprons, spring pollen settles into porous concrete, summer humidity feeds algae and mildew on north-facing siding, and fall leaves stain wooden decks with tannin. By the time a Chicagoland homeowner notices the discoloration, it has usually been building for two or three years — and a garden hose with a spray nozzle simply cannot remove embedded grime.

Surfaces with heavy mildew, algae, or oil stains receive a pre-soak with a targeted detergent. Nearby plants and delicate surfaces are covered or wetted down for protection.
Using surface cleaners, rotary nozzles, or soft-wash applicators as appropriate, we clean each area systematically — working from top to bottom on vertical surfaces.
We rinse all surfaces, inspect for remaining spots, do touch-up passes as needed, and restore any moved landscaping items. You walk the property with us before we leave.
