House Hand Washing in Ridgewood, New York

Cleaning Siding With Care

 

Speed doesn't always pay. When cleaning the exterior of your home, it's faster to use a high-powered pressure washer, but that doesn't mean it's the best option. Certain housing materials fare better when washed by hand with soapy water and a sponge. The roofing contractors at Big John Roofing hand wash houses in Ridgewood, New York for area homeowners who want the exterior of their homes cleaned with care.

Hand Washing Siding on a House in RidgewoodWhy Hire Big John Roofing to Handwash a Ridgewood House?

During our more than 46 years in the roofing industry, we've seen people do all kinds of things to clean the outside of their homes. They have tried scraping, pressure washing, and bleaching. Not too many people hand wash their home's siding these days, and not many contractors provide this service, but Big John Roofing's technicians prefer it for several reasons.

  • Gentler house cleaning: Hand washing a Ridgewood house is a gentler way of washing a house, which makes it ideal for delicate siding materials. Pressure cleaning can damage these surfaces by stripping off paint or gouging the siding.

  • Precision house washing: Big John Roofing's hand washing services allow for targeting specific areas that require more attention without blasting everything with water. This protects areas of your home that don't need to be cleaned or that can be damaged by chemicals.

  • Less risk of damage: Hand washing is a safer cleaning method as it doesn't use high-pressure water that can potentially damage windows, trim, or other exterior features of your home. Call (917) 810-5814 for more information.

 

Types of Siding That Are Best Washed by Hand in Ridgewood

The ideal siding materials for hand washing are those that can withstand some mild scrubbing, but that may be damaged if pressure washed at high-pressure. Big John Roofing has found that even brick houses can take on damage to the mortar with aggressive pressure washing. Vinyl, wood, and stucco siding can all benefit from gentler cleaning methods like hand washing by Big John Roofing.

These types of homes in Ridgewood are best cleaned by hand:

  • Older homes: Older homes often have more delicate materials that have the potential to be damaged by pressure washing. For example, homes built before the 1970s may have lead paint, which can be stripped off by the force of the water and release toxins.
  • Historic homes: Historic homes are often made with materials that require special care. Pressure washing can damage the siding, trim, and other features of historic homes.
  • Softwood siding: Softwood siding, such as cedar or redwood, can be easily damaged by pressure washing. The high-pressure water can strip off the softwood's natural oils and leave it vulnerable to rot and other damage. In addition, pressure can gouge the surface.
  • Stucco: Stucco can be damaged by the force involved with pressure cleaning. This can create cracks and chips in the siding. Hand washing by Big John Roofing is a safe solution.
  • Older brick: Older brick homes are more porous and can absorb water, which can cause damage over time. Pressure washing can force water into the brick and cause cracking or other damage. Call Big John Roofing to wash your Ridgewood brick house.
