Our Services
Siding Wash
Our soft wash process removes mold, algae, and salt film from vinyl, wood, fiber cement, and other siding materials. We apply a cleaning solution that kills biological growth at the root, then rinse at low pressure so the cleaning is thorough without risking damage.
Pavement Wash
Driveways, walkways, patios, and pool decks in Lavallette accumulate grime faster than most Shore communities. Sand tracked from the beach mixes with organic material and moisture to create embedded stains that garden hoses cannot touch.
Window Wash
Salt haze on windows is a constant battle on the barrier island. Professional window cleaning removes the mineral film that builds up between rainstorms and lets natural light back into your home.
Why Lavallette Homes Need Regular Pressure Washing
Ocean spray and wind-driven salt from the east, bay moisture from the west. Salt coats every surface, pulls in moisture, corrodes metal fixtures, and gives mold and algae the damp they need.
You can see the result on any block: green and black streaks on vinyl and wood siding, driveways that stain faster than mainland driveways, and windows with a haze rain never takes off. Left alone, growth works under siding and into joints, and salt eats paint, caulk, and wood. A yearly soft wash stops it before it turns into a repair.
Serving Lavallette’s Seasonal Community
Lavallette fills up every summer with rentals and seasonal homes. If you rent, the exterior is the first thing guests see, and a wash before the season is the cheapest fix for the listing photos. Owners usually book us before Memorial Day, and again after Labor Day to take a summer of sand, sunscreen, and cooking grease off the deck, patio, and walkways.
Year-round residents get the same fall cleaning to get the house ready for the quiet months.
Working in Lavallette’s Compact Neighborhoods
Lots here are small, and houses sit a few feet apart. Soft washing suits that. It relies on the cleaning solution rather than high pressure, so there is no overspray blasting the neighbor’s siding. We keep the equipment footprint small, work normal hours, and rinse everything, including the neighbor’s side, before we leave.
Keeping a Lavallette Home in Shape
On the island, once a year is the minimum and oceanfront lots usually want two. Call or use the form below and Carmine will give you a straight quote.

Frequently Asked Questions
How often should Lavallette homes be pressure washed given the salt air exposure?
Because Lavallette sits on a narrow barrier island with salt air coming from both the ocean and Barnegat Bay, most homes benefit from at least two cleanings per year. A spring wash removes winter salt deposits and mold before summer, and a fall wash clears organic buildup before the off-season. Homes closest to the waterfront may need even more frequent attention.
Can you pressure wash rental and vacation properties in Lavallette between tenant turnovers?
Yes. Owners and managers in Lavallette book siding, pavement, and window cleaning in the turnover window between guests. Give us a few days of notice and we can fit it in.
Is pressure washing safe for homes in Lavallette that are close together?
Yes. Lavallette lots are small and the houses sit close together. Soft washing uses the cleaning solution rather than high pressure, so there is no overspray hitting the neighbor. We cover or rinse nearby landscaping and furniture and rinse the neighbor side before we leave.
How much does it cost to power wash a house in Lavallette?
It depends on the size of the house, the siding material, how much growth is on it, and whether you want the pavers or windows done on the same visit. There is no flat price list because a small ranch with light mildew and a three-story shore house with a season of black streaks are not the same job. Carmine gives a straight quote by phone after a couple of questions, or from a few photos, and the quote is free.
Can I power wash my own house?
You can rent a machine, but a rental pressure washer at siding pressure is the fastest way to strip paint, force water behind vinyl panels, and shred window screens, and it does not kill the mold that caused the streaks. Siding needs a soft wash: a cleaning solution at low pressure, then a rinse. That is what we do, and it is the reason the results last.
Is it worth washing a Lavallette house every year?
On the barrier island, yes. Salt from both sides settles on siding and glass every week of the year, and a north wall in Lavallette can go from clean to green in a single humid summer. One wash a year keeps it ahead; oceanfront lots often want two.
