Clifton Park grew fast — subdivision after subdivision carved out of dense woods from the 1980s through the 2000s, from the Sunningdale and Country Knolls neighborhoods to the newer builds off Route 146. That growth left most homes surrounded by mature trees that block sun and hold humidity against the siding, especially on the shaded rear elevations that back up to greenbelts and drainage buffers required by the town's subdivision rules.
The result is predictable: vinyl and Hardie siding that looks fine from the street but is streaked green and black along the north and east walls, under soffits, and around foundation planting beds. Add in the Mohawk River bluffs near Vischer Ferry and Rexford, where fog settles into the low-lying yards most mornings, and you've got ideal algae and mildew conditions that no amount of garden-hose rinsing will fix.
We soft-wash Clifton Park homes with the same low-pressure, biocide-based process regardless of whether you're in a tight HOA cul-de-sac in Ballston Lake or an older ranch near Jonesville — killing growth at the root so it doesn't reappear in a few weeks like a pressure-only rinse would.
