Vinyl is the most common siding on Colonie homes, and it's also the material most often damaged by the wrong cleaning method. Panels that have spent fifteen Capital Region winters outside go brittle, and high pressure cracks them, forces water up behind the courses, and cuts caulk at the seams.
Flat lots hold water after storms, and salt from the Central Ave and Wolf Rd corridors gets carried onto front walks all winter — a fast route to white efflorescence haze on unsealed pavers.
We clean vinyl the way the manufacturers specify: low pressure, a professionally diluted detergent that kills algae and mildew at the root, dwell time, hand detailing where the growth is heaviest, and a top-down rinse. The color comes back and it stays clean for years instead of weeks.
