Dirt, mold, and algae build up on siding, and a regular rinse never clears them for long. At Expert Cleaning, our crews wash the outside of homes and commercial properties across Milford. We soft wash siding with a low-pressure cleaning solution that does the work, and we run a surface cleaner with a degreaser on concrete. For a clean exterior that lasts, call (203) 424-3669.
Here is the full range we offer around Milford, split by who it's for: homeowners on one side, property managers on the other.
For homes, these are the services we offer:
Many of our customers rebook every spring and fall. A seasonal text or email reminder brings them back, so they never have to keep track of it. Around here, roughly nine in ten homes have vinyl siding, with composite decks and vinyl fences close behind, so this is work we do every week.
For commercial properties, we walk the site first, then send a custom quote. These are the services we offer:
Where a property needs to stay clear of foot traffic, we can work outside business hours, including Sundays by arrangement. Building washing is available on a semi-annual schedule. If a building is taller than our equipment can safely reach, we'll tell you at the walkthrough.
Here is where power washing pairs with our flagship service. We clean your windows inside and out while our power washing crew washes the outside of your home. Everything is done in one visit, usually by the end of the morning, with nothing left over for another day. For the inside glass, someone just needs to be home to let the window crew in.
Here's what sets our power washing apart, whether it's your home or a property you manage.
We don't run one setting on everything. On homes, siding is soft washed so the cleaning solution does the work, and concrete gets a surface cleaner and a degreaser. On commercial buildings, vinyl-sided condominiums are downstreamed and rinsed, while stucco supermarkets and manufacturing facilities are soft washed. The surface comes clean without the damage high pressure can do.
On commercial jobs, our owner is on site from setup to sign-off, coordinating the crew, resident notices, and safety around tenants and the public. We also keep the rest of that day clear of other large jobs, so the crew stays focused on your property start to finish.
Every member of our crew is covered by workers' compensation, and we carry general liability and commercial auto insurance. If someone gets hurt washing your home, that's on us, not you. For property managers, we send our insurance, workers' comp, and W-9 paperwork up front with the proposal. We also carry the higher liability limits condominium properties ask for.
Some of our crew used to run their own painting and roofing businesses. They know how vinyl, aluminum, and board siding is built and what each one can take. Your house gets cleaned by people who understand the surface they're working on.
Here is how a power washing job goes, from the free estimate to the follow-up call.
For most house washes, we quote remotely from satellite imagery, so you often don't need to be there for the estimate. Bigger homes and combined jobs get an in-person look. For commercial work, we walk the site, then send a written proposal and agreement. Either way, you get a written estimate before anything is booked.
Once the day is set, you get an automatic reminder and a personal confirmation call the day before. On the day itself, the crew calls when they're on the way.
The crew parks on the street to keep oil off your driveway. If you're home, one crew member talks with you while the other tapes outlets and doorbells, moves planters, and pre-wets and covers your plants. On a commercial building, we confirm the windows are shut and line up more than one water source. We also check the door thresholds where water could get in.
Siding is soft washed with a low-pressure cleaning solution and left to dwell so it can do the work. On concrete, we hit the oil stains with a degreaser, then clean the whole surface with a surface cleaner. We bring truck-mounted power washing units and surface cleaners, and rent lifts for the taller commercial buildings.
We rinse everything down, then water and feed any delicate plants. On a commercial job, we clean up the nearby walkways once the rinse is done.
We place a yard sign and walk the finished job with you if you're home. If you're out, we leave a note at the door and email the invoice. Our office calls afterward to make sure everything went the way you wanted.
Power washing starts with a free estimate, priced by surface size and condition. The final number is set once we see the surface, so here is where our main residential services begin:
Commercial power washing is custom-quoted after an on-site walkthrough.
Our promise is simple, and it covers homes and commercial properties alike. If anything on your property is damaged while we're working, we make it right. We repair or replace it at our cost. There's no fine print to chase and no argument to win.
No. We clean concrete driveways. We don't pressure wash asphalt driveways. Most driveways around here are asphalt, so it's a fair question to ask before you book.
Newer wood decks can be washed, though badly weathered ones we'll turn down. Composite decks clean up beautifully. With older wood, we'll be honest: cleaning helps, but the deck needs to be stained or painted afterward or it will look the same again in a short time.
We specialize in vinyl fences. Wood fences usually need restoration work beyond a wash, and we'll point you in the right direction.
If your home is on a well, we bring our own water for a small added charge. The one exception is solar panel cleaning, since our filtration system runs on city water.
There's no single price, because every job is different. You'll find starting prices for our main residential services on this page, and we give you a written estimate before any work begins. Commercial jobs are quoted after we walk the site.
No. If a patio is badly pitched and water pools on it, we'll recommend having a mason look at it first. Cleaning won't fix drainage. We'll still tell you honestly what a wash can do for the look of it.
Our season runs from mid-March through the fall. Freezing temperatures around mid-December end exterior work for the winter, so late fall is the time to get the last jobs on the calendar.
Yes, and it's the easiest way to get it all done at once. A composite deck is rinsed along with the house wash at no extra charge, since the solution reaches it anyway. A concrete patio or pool deck added to a house wash the same day costs less than booking it on its own.
Not for outside work. Before we arrive, just shut your windows, leave an outdoor faucet available, and move your cars out of the way. That's all we need to get started.
