Brick & Vinyl Siding Cleaning

Efflorescence removal is essential for cleaning brick and vinyl siding. Efflorescence, the white chalky substance that forms on brick and concrete surfaces, can cause damage if not promptly removed. Our team utilizes advanced methods and tools to eliminate efflorescence, ensuring your property's exterior is clean and protected.

While efflorescence removal is integral to our service, we also cater to a broader range of house washing needs, including general dirt, grime, and algae removal.

Metal Roof Washing

Efflorescence removal is not only necessary for walls and driveways but also for metal roofs. In the damp climate of Monterey, roofs can become a breeding ground for moss, lichen, and efflorescence. Our team of experts utilizes gentle yet highly effective pressure washing techniques to eliminate these contaminants, ultimately prolonging the lifespan of your roof and preserving its pristine appearance. Our pressure washing services for Monterey homes guarantee that your property will look its best from top to bottom.
