Absolutely. Many Kensington homes date back to the early 1900s with original wood siding, masonry, and architectural details that require careful handling. We use soft washing with low pressure and appropriate cleaning solutions — never blasting with high pressure that could damage historic materials. We'll assess your home's specific needs before starting.

We don't "pressure wash" wood siding — we soft wash it. This means using low pressure (no more force than a garden hose) combined with cleaning solutions that do the actual work of removing dirt, mold, and mildew. It's the same gentle approach recommended for historic preservation and won't damage paint, strip finish, or raise wood grain.

Yes. Many older Kensington homes have original slate roofs and copper gutters that require knowledgeable care. We soft wash slate roofs to remove moss and algae without walking on or disturbing the slates. For copper gutters, we clean both inside and out while preserving the natural patina — or we can polish to restore shine, depending on your preference.

Given Kensington's heavy tree coverage and Rock Creek humidity, we recommend professional driveway cleaning every 1-2 years. Properties under dense canopy (common throughout the town) may benefit from annual cleaning due to accelerated organic growth. If you notice green algae, moss, or significant discoloration, it's time for a cleaning.

Yes. Older brick — especially antique or soft brick common in historic Kensington properties — requires lower pressure and appropriate technique to avoid damaging the brick face or eroding mortar joints. We assess the brick's condition first and adjust our approach accordingly. We can also re-sand joints after cleaning if needed.

Absolutely — we know how much Kensington residents value their gardens. We pre-wet plants before cleaning to dilute any runoff, cover sensitive specimens when necessary, and use eco-friendly cleaning solutions near planting beds. We also rinse landscaping thoroughly after completing our work.

Kensington's location along Rock Creek creates a humid microclimate, and the town's mature tree canopy keeps many surfaces in perpetual shade. This combination of moisture and shade is ideal for algae, mold, and mildew growth. North-facing walls are especially prone. Regular soft washing eliminates these organisms and keeps them from returning as quickly.

Most Kensington homes benefit from house washing every 2-3 years. However, homes with significant shade, north-facing walls, or proximity to Rock Creek may need annual cleaning. If you notice visible green algae, black streaking, or general dinginess, it's time for a wash. Regular cleaning also extends the life of your paint and siding.

Yes, we provide commercial pressure washing services throughout Kensington, including the antique shops and boutiques along Howard Avenue (Antique Row) and Connecticut Avenue. These historic storefronts require the same careful approach we use on residential properties — gentle cleaning that respects the architecture while removing years of grime.

Absolutely. Clean sidewalks and patios make a great first impression for customers.
