House Washing
on Long Island, NY
Clean, Algae-Free Siding
for Long Island Homes
Long Island’s humid summers, changing seasons, and tree-covered neighborhoods create ideal conditions for algae, mildew, and dark organic staining. This buildup is especially common on shaded and north-facing areas where moisture takes longer to dry.
Squeaky Clean Property Solutions has provided professional house washing on Long Island for over 20 years. We use a proven soft-wash process, adjusting the cleaning solution and rinse pressure for vinyl, James Hardie/fiber cement, and cedar siding. This allows us to thoroughly clean your home while protecting its exterior finish and surrounding landscaping.
If your siding has become green, gray, or streaked, call or text 631-387-2156 for a free estimate. We’ll measure your home, assess its condition, and provide an exact written estimate, typically within 24 hours.
Siding Types We Wash
on Long Island
Our soft-wash process is adapted to each siding material on Long Island homes. Here is how we handle the most common ones.
Vinyl Siding
Vinyl is the most common siding material on Long Island residential properties, and it picks up algae and green organic staining fast in our coastal humidity. We treat it with a proprietary blend of environmentally friendly algaecides, soft wash the surface at low pressure, and rinse it clean. The finish comes back looking the way it did when the siding was installed, with no streaks and no residue left behind.
James Hardie / Fiber-Cement
Fiber-cement from James Hardie and other manufacturers is built to last, but its textured surface still holds onto organic growth and discoloration over time. We match the chemistry to the fiber-cement surface and keep the pressure low so there is no chipping, gouging, or surface damage. The same prep-and-rinse process applies, adjusted for the material’s density and texture.
Cedar
Cedar siding and shake are a signature part of Long Island’s properties, and they demand a more careful hand than most materials. We use an algaecide blend formulated for cedar and a high-flow, low-pressure rinse that lifts the staining and brightens the wood without stripping its natural character or damaging the grain. Cedar’s porosity means the chemistry and rinse pressure both matter; we get it right so the wood looks naturally bright and clean.
Why Long Island Homeowners
Choose Us for House Washing
Five reasons Long Island homeowners keep calling us back.
Over Two Decades of Long Island Experience
We have been cleaning and restoring properties across Long Island since 2006, bringing over 20 years of hands-on exterior cleaning experience to every job. The island’s housing stock runs the full range of vinyl, cedar, James Hardie, and metal, and every property has its own quirks. Two decades of handling those means the crew reads the siding and adjusts on-site, not guesses. If it is an odd one-off situation, chances are we have handled one like it before.
Fully Licensed and Insured, Documented on Every Job
We are fully licensed and insured, and we photograph every job start to finish. The crew captures the siding condition before work begins, records any pre-existing wear it finds, and delivers the full photo set afterward so you have a clear record of exactly what was done.
Safe, Plant- and Pet-Friendly Soft-Wash Approach
We use professional soft-wash solutions, controlled low pressure, and careful plant-protection procedures on every job. Low pressure and the right chemistry mean your landscaping and siding stay protected while the staining comes off.
Complete Exterior Care From One Local Team
A house wash is often the first time someone gets eyes on the full exterior up close. Our crew spots trim rot, damaged cedar shingles, cracked siding, and other issues during the wash. Because we are a true full-service exterior company, we handle deck and cedar restoration, paver restoration, gutter guards, gutter and trim repair, and more. That means one call, one crew, and no sending you to a second contractor for the fix. Most house wash companies only clean. We take care of the whole property.
Locally Owned on Long Island
We are locally owned and operated on Long Island. We know the siding types, the tree coverage patterns, and the coastal moisture conditions in the area because we live and work here. That local knowledge translates to accurate estimates and the right cleaning approach for each property, without the guesswork a crew from off the island would bring.
How Our House Washing Process Works
The Free Estimate and Siding Assessment
Call us or submit a request, and an office manager gets back to you within a half hour. The team measures the property and assesses the siding type, square footage, degree of dirtiness, and any access considerations. You get a detailed written estimate within 24 hours covering scope, method, and what to expect. If you are also thinking about gutter cleaning, roof cleaning, or other work, let us know at the estimate and we will price it together at a lower combined rate.
Scheduling and the Pre-Service Heads-Up
Once the job is booked, you receive a follow-up sequence so you know exactly when we are coming. You get a heads-up roughly two days out, the day before, the day of, and an “on the way” notice. No surprises, no guessing.
Site Prep and Protection
The crew removes delicate items like flags, chimes, furniture, and anything in the work area. Outlets, doorbells, and sensitive surfaces get taped off. The entire home is photographed along with any existing conditions noted from the ground, so there is a clear record before the cleaning starts. Surrounding plantings are pre-rinsed to protect them from runoff.
Soft Wash Treatment and Rinse
A proprietary blend of environmentally friendly algaecides is applied to the siding using professional-grade soft-wash equipment, matched to the material. Vinyl, James Hardie, cedar, or metal each gets the right chemistry. The solution is allowed to dwell, then the home is rinsed down. Metal siding gets a pre-rinse and then a double wash. All pressure stays low on residential siding.
Walkthrough and Final Photos
After the work is complete, we provide detailed before-and-after photos along with a secure online invoice. The homeowner does not need to be present.

House Washing FAQs
How long does a house wash take?
Most house washes take approximately one to two hours. Larger homes, difficult access, specialty siding, or heavier organic buildup may require additional time.
Do I need to be home, and how should I prepare?
You do not need to be home. Before we arrive, please provide access to one working water source, close all windows and doors, move vehicles at least 15 feet from the house, and remove delicate items from the immediate work area. We will send detailed before-and-after photos and a secure online invoice when the service is complete.
How often should I have my house washed?
Most homes should be professionally washed every 1–2 years to maintain their appearance and prevent the buildup of dirt, algae, mold, and mildew. Homes located in shaded, damp, or heavily wooded areas may benefit from more frequent cleaning.
