Riverfront humidity, older wood and vinyl homes, and long winters full of road salt make Rensselaer exteriors work overtime. We soft-wash siding, roofs, concrete, and decks so mildew, algae, and salt haze come off — and stay off.

Rensselaer sits right on the Hudson, and that river humidity is what feeds the green algae on north walls, the black streaks running down roof shingles, and the mildew in gutter runs by early summer. It's the same story from downtown Rensselaer up through East Greenbush, North Greenbush, and Wynantskill.
The housing stock is a mix — older wood clapboard and painted homes near the river, mid-century ranches through East Greenbush, and newer vinyl and Hardie builds in North Greenbush and Defreestville. High pressure isn't the answer for any of them: it splits older wood, drives water behind siding, and leaves 'tiger stripes' on driveways.
Our Rensselaer soft-wash approach uses professional biocides at low pressure to kill mildew, algae, and moss at the root — safe for every surface on your home. Same local crew, over 10 years cleaning Rensselaer County homes.
What We Clean In Rensselaer
From older riverfront wood clapboard to East Greenbush ranches and newer North Greenbush Colonials, no two Rensselaer homes ask for the same wash. We calibrate detergent strength and rinse pressure to the actual surface.
Older painted wood and mixed siding right on the Hudson — high humidity, heavy mildew on shaded sides. Gentle detergents, extended dwell time, careful rinsing.
Mid-century ranches and split-levels with vinyl and aluminum siding. Our soft-wash cleans without cracking older vinyl or driving water behind seams.
Newer Colonials with Hardie and vinyl siding, tall gables, and wooded lots. Soft-wash reaches high peaks safely from the ground.
Suburban and rural properties with longer driveways and larger decks. Rotary surface cleaner for concrete, soft-wash for pressure-treated wood.
Why Rensselaer Chooses Capital Pro
Riverfront damp feeds green algae and black roof streaks. Our biocides target the biology at the root — not just bleach the surface for a few weeks.
Rensselaer County salts hard. We clean AND seal concrete drives, walks, and stoops so next winter's brine does less damage.
Mid-century vinyl gets brittle. High pressure cracks it. Our soft-wash cleans at hose pressure — no cracks, no water intrusion behind the siding.
Same local crew from downtown Rensselaer through East Greenbush and out toward Averill Park. Not a franchise.

“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!”
