Complete Exterior Cleaning Services in Northeast Ohio

We provides a complete range of exterior cleaning services designed to tackle every surface and cleaning challenge on your local property. Our technicians have expertise in both power washing techniques for resilient surfaces and gentle cleaning methods for delicate materials that could be harmed by high water pressure.

House Washing and Soft Washing Services

Soft washing is a professional cleaning technique that uses reduced PSI combined with eco-friendly cleaning solutions to safely remove organic growth, and other biological matter from your home's exterior surfaces. Unlike conventional pressure washing, which relies on high PSI (pounds per square inch) to blast away grime, soft washing lets the cleaning solution to do the work, making it the recommended method for sensitive surfaces including vinyl siding, fiber cement siding, EIFS, painted wood, and stone veneer.

The weather conditions in our area fosters optimal situations for biological growth on home exteriors. These organic contaminants not only diminish your home's appearance but can even cause harm to siding materials over time. Our house washing service destroys these growths completely, killing the spores and stopping quick return. Most homes in our service area need professional soft washing every one to two years, depending on factors like shade coverage, landscaping, and the direction your home faces.

Surfaces we wash with soft washing:

• Vinyl exterior and aluminum
• James Hardie and fiber cement siding
• Wood siding and trim
• Brick exteriors and masonry surfaces
• Exterior stucco (Exterior Insulation and Finish System)
• Stone veneer and limestone
• Cedar shake and wood shingle siding

Professional Roof Cleaning Services

The black stains you see on roofs throughout Wayne County are not debris or residue. They are colonies of Gloeocapsa magma, a form of cyanobacteria (bacteria) that consumes the limestone filler in roofing shingles. Without treatment, this algae growth causes early roof failure, shortening your roof's lifespan and likely leading to major expense years ahead of schedule.

LuxWash uses the gentle roof cleaning method recommended by the Asphalt Roofing Manufacturers Association (ARMA). High-pressure washing should never be used on residential roofing because it can dislodge protective granules, cancel manufacturer warranties, and push water underneath shingles where it causes structural problems and structural damage. Our low-pressure application delivers specialized cleaning solutions that eliminate all biological contamination without any harm to your roofing materials.

After a LuxWash roof soft wash treatment, you will see stunning results. Ugly discoloration are eliminated, exposing the actual shade of your shingles. More importantly, the treatment kills organic growth at the root level, providing extended protection. Most roofs in our area benefit from professional soft washing about every 5 years, though homes with significant canopy may require regular treatment.

Roofing materials we service:

• Composition shingles (standard and dimensional shingles)
• Natural cedar and wood shingle roofs
• Stone and clay tile
• Metal roof systems
• Commercial roofing (TPO, EPDM, mod bit)

Concrete Pressure Washing

Driveways, paths, patios, and other flatwork surfaces are durable enough to withstand pressure washing, making them well-suited for our high-pressure cleaning services. Over time, concrete gathers dirt, oil stains, rust stains, tire marks, grease, green growth, and embedded dirt that normal garden hose rinsing cannot eliminate. Our commercial-grade pressure washing equipment delivers water at the perfect PSI and GPM (gallons per minute) to extract embedded contaminants from the surface without harming the surface.

For local driveways and concrete surfaces, we use professional surface cleaners that provide even cleaning coverage without the striping patterns that standard pressure washing equipment can leave behind. This specialized equipment lets us to restore large areas efficiently while delivering reliably perfect results across the entire surface.

Flatwork cleaning services include:

• Driveway cleaning and stain removal
• Path and pedestrian surface cleaning
• Outdoor and pool deck restoration
• Garage cleaning
• Landscape wall cleaning
• Interlocking paver and paving stone cleaning
• Stamped concrete cleaning

Driveway Sealing Services

After pressure washing your concrete surfaces, we recommend our concrete sealing service to extend surface life and prolong the life of your hardscaping. Concrete sealers create a protective barrier that blocks liquids, and other contaminants, making upkeep less frequent and preventing damage from freeze-thaw cycles that are common during Ohio winters. Sealed concrete also blocks staining, meaning accidents and tire marks wipe away easily instead of absorbing into the porous concrete surface.

We offer both impregnating sealers that absorb into the concrete for invisible protection and film-forming sealers that create a wet-look or matte finish for upgraded appearance. Our technicians will advise on the best sealer type based on your concrete, needs, and style.

Deck Cleaning and Restoration

Outdoor decks and Trex decking require routine cleaning to maintain their look and structural integrity. In Wayne County's climate, decks are subjected to weather, and seasonal changes that encourage organic growth. Without cleaning, these organic contaminants damage wood fibers, causing fading, decay, and premature deterioration.

Our deck cleaning service strips away surface contaminants and readies your deck for sealing or treating. For wood decks made from pressure-treated lumber, natural cedar, or natural redwood, we use proper pressure levels and cleaning solutions that clean effectively without harming wood grain or splintering excessively. Composite and PVC decking materials require softer treatment, and our technicians adjust techniques accordingly to protect manufacturer warranties.

Deck services include:

• Natural wood cleaning and rejuvenation
• Trex cleaning
• Stain and sealer prep
• Mold and mildew elimination
• Slippery and green growth elimination

Fence Washing Services

Your fence is usually the opening impression visitors notice about your property, and a dirty, contaminated fence detracts from your home's entire curb appeal. Whether you have a wood privacy fence, PVC fence, aluminum or wrought iron, wire, or pasture fence, LuxWash has the equipment and experience to restore it to pristine condition.

Wooden fencing in our area are especially vulnerable to organic growth due to our humid climate and precipitation. Our fence cleaning service destroys these contaminants while preserving the wood's structure. For homeowners planning to seal their wood fence, our cleaning service provides ideal preparation, promoting maximum adhesion and long-lasting results.

Fences we clean:

• Wooden fences (redwood)
• PVC fencing
• Ornamental and wrought iron fences
• Wire fencing
• Post and rail fencing

Gutter Service and Exterior Gutter Cleaning

Full gutters cause water to back up and pool around your foundation, resulting in basement flooding, structural issues, and landscape erosion. Our gutter cleaning service removes organic matter, grit, and debris from your gutters and downspouts, ensuring proper water flow away from your home.

Besides interior gutter cleaning, we offer gutter whitening services that remove the tiger striping and tiger striping that form on the outside of gutters. These stains are caused by environmental exposure and electrostatic bonding of dirt and pollutants to the gutter surface. Our commercial gutter brightening solutions break these bonds, restoring your gutters to their original clean or colored finish.

Our Professional Cleaning Process

Every LuxWash project follows a systematic approach designed to guarantee exceptional results while preserving your property. Here is what you can expect when you hire us for exterior cleaning in Apple Creek:

Step 1: No-Cost On-Site Consultation and Estimate

We start with a detailed inspection of your property to evaluate cleaning needs, spot any areas requiring focused treatment, and determine the most appropriate cleaning methods for each surface. Because every home is different, we prefer to provide estimates face-to-face rather than over the phone. This enables us to give you exact pricing with no surprises. We calculate surfaces, note any existing conditions, and discuss your specific concerns and expectations.

Step 2: Before We Start Preparation

Before cleaning starts, we take steps to safeguard your property. This includes moving lawn items, securing windows and doors, pre-soaking plants and landscaping to shield them from cleaning solutions, and marking any areas that require special care. We also trial cleaning solutions on discrete areas when working with new surface types.

Step 3: Professional Cleaning

Depending on the surfaces being cleaned, we use the correct technique. Soft washing involves applying our biodegradable cleaning solution at reduced PSI, letting it to sit and break down organic contaminants, then rinsing with soft water. Pressure washing uses higher PSI for hard surfaces like concrete, with our industrial surface cleaners providing consistent coverage. Throughout the process, we constantly monitor results and fine-tune techniques as needed.

Step 4: Complete Rinse and Inspection

After cleaning, we perform a comprehensive rinse of all treated surfaces and nearby areas. We complete a streak-free rinse on windows and glass surfaces to avoid water spots. Then, we conduct a careful inspection to verify every area meets our professional standards.

Step 5: Final Review and Satisfaction Confirmation

If you are home during service, we invite you to walk through the completed work with us. We want you to see the results and verify your total satisfaction before we consider the job done. If any area misses your expectations, we address it on the spot.

Why Soft Washing is Preferred vs Pressure Washing for Most Surfaces

Many homeowners think that higher pressure equals better cleaning, but this is rarely the case. Power washing is effective for hard surfaces like concrete, brick, and specific stone. However, applying high pressure to sensitive materials causes major damage:

• Siding: High pressure can break siding panels, push water behind siding into wall cavities, and invalidate manufacturer warranties.
• Wood: Excessive pressure destroys wood fibers, fuzzes, and can damage soft wood species.
• Roofing: Pressure washing removes protective granules, severely reducing roof lifespan.
• Painted wood: High pressure chips paint, requiring costly repainting.
• Stucco: Pressure can damage stucco and penetrate the moisture barrier in EIFS systems.

Soft washing solves these problems by letting cleaning chemistry do the work instead of using excessive PSI. Our soft wash solutions are professionally formulated to destroy biological contamination at the cellular level. The result is a more thorough, longer-lasting clean that does not return as quickly as pressure-washed surfaces often do. When you pressure wash mold and algae, you may clear the visible growth, but organisms remain embedded in the surface and regrow quickly. Soft washing kills the organisms totally, stopping rapid regrowth.

Addressing Northeast Ohio's Local Cleaning Challenges

This area sits in Wayne County in the center of Northeastern Ohio, an area known by humid summers, cold winters, and abundant moisture throughout the year. This climate creates specific challenges for exterior surfaces:

Humidity and Organic Growth

Northeast Ohio's humidity levels, particularly during spring and summer, create optimal situations for biological contamination growth. Homes with north-facing walls, heavy tree coverage, or location near ponds experience accelerated organic growth. The green and black staining you see on homes throughout the area is not just unsightly; it is active growth continuously degrading and degrading your property's surfaces.

Cold Weather Damage

Cold months subject exterior surfaces to constant freeze-thaw cycles. Water enters absorbent surfaces like concrete and wood, then swells as it freezes, causing deterioration, surface failure, and problems over time. Routine maintenance removes buildup and organic matter that hold moisture against surfaces, while protective coatings provide additional protection against water penetration.

Organic Matter and Pollen

Wayne County's wooded areas means plentiful trees, which drop leaves, sap, pollen, and organic debris that accumulate on surfaces, and other surfaces. This debris retains moisture and provides nutrients for organic and algae growth. Homes surrounded by deciduous and evergreen trees require regular cleaning to prevent buildup.

Farm Dust and Particulates

Our area and surrounding towns are situated in an agricultural region. Dust from agriculture, gravel roads, and plowing settles on exterior surfaces, combining with moisture to create stubborn grime. This is especially noticeable on white or light-colored siding, fencing, and outdoor structures.

How often should I have my house washed?

Most homes in Apple Creek should have professional soft washing every 12-24 months. However, schedule depends on your situation including tree coverage, sun exposure, moisture, and construction. Homes surrounded by trees or with significant north-facing wall area may need every-year cleaning, while homes in exposed locations may go 24 months between cleanings. During your estimate, we can review your specific situation and recommend an appropriate maintenance schedule.

How often should I have my roof soft washed?

Beyond being ugly, Gloeocapsa magma causes shingles to fail faster by retaining moisture and preventing proper granule adhesion. Our roof soft wash treatment destroys this bacteria 100%, restoring your roof's appearance and preventing further damage.

Enhanced Curb Appeal

Professional pressure washing eliminates years of accumulated grime, returning surfaces to their former appearance.

Professional cleaning destroys these biological contaminants, promoting a cleaner environment for your family. This is especially important for households with allergy sufferers or respiratory issues.
