House Washing in Altamont
The green film on the north side of a Altamont house isn't dirt. It's living algae, fed by Hudson Valley humidity and long shoulder seasons, and rinsing it off the surface just resets the clock for about eight weeks.
Altamont sits right at the foot of the Helderberg escarpment, so village homes get wind-driven rain off the hill and long damp shade under old maples along Maple Ave and Grand St. Painted clapboard and older wood trim on the village Victorians need a soft wash, not pressure.
Our soft wash applies professional detergents at lower pressure than a garden hose, kills the growth at the root, then rinses everything clean — siding, soffits, gutters' exteriors, trim, and shutters. Results last three to five times longer than a pressure-only wash.
Local Conditions
Capital Region summers are humid, autumns are wet, and winters lock moisture against the house for months. Between those and the tree cover most Altamont properties have, siding rarely gets a chance to dry out completely — which is all algae and mildew need.
The wall that never gets direct sun grows the green film first and holds it the longest.
Black streaking below gutter lines is oxidized runoff mixed with mildew. It needs a detergent, not pressure.
Mature trees across Altamont keep siding damp for days after rain and drop the organic debris the growth feeds on.
Plow spray and road film settle on the lower courses every winter and dull the finish through spring.
Why It Matters
Biocide-based soft wash, not a surface rinse — so the green doesn't come back in two months.
Vinyl, aluminum, Hardie, painted wood, cedar, stucco, and brick each get their own mix and rinse pressure.
Low pressure means nothing gets forced under siding laps or into window frames.
Beds, shrubs, and lawn soaked with fresh water before, during, and after the wash.
Trim, shutters, soffits, and gutter exteriors are washed as part of a standard house wash.

“In a state of bereavement we reached out and got an earlier date. When we returned from funeral proceedings the house was impeccable. Even areas we had no time to prep for were done. Nice work for sure. Call them — you won't be disappointed!”
