Black streaks on your roof are caused by Gloeocapsa Magma, a type of algae that feeds on the limestone filler in asphalt shingles. Left untreated, it shortens the lifespan of your roof significantly. Soft wash roof cleaning safely eliminates it.

How often should I wash the exterior of my house?

Most Bergen County homes benefit from exterior cleaning once a year, typically in spring or fall. Homes surrounded by trees, near water, or with north-facing siding may need cleaning every 6-9 months due to faster algae and mold growth.

Bergen County gutters should be cleaned at least twice a year — once in late spring after tree pollen season and once in late fall after leaves have dropped. Homes with heavy tree coverage may require quarterly cleaning.

What happens if I don't clean my gutters?

Clogged gutters cause water to overflow and pool around your foundation, leading to costly water damage, basement flooding, landscape erosion, and fascia board rot. Ice dams in winter are also caused by blocked gutters. Regular cleaning prevents all of these issues.

Do you clean the inside and outside of gutters?

Yes. Gilligan's Power Washing removes all debris from inside the gutters and flushes the downspouts to ensure proper drainage. We also clean the exterior face of the gutters to remove oxidation staining as part of our complete gutter service.

Should I seal my pavers after cleaning?

Sealing after cleaning is highly recommended. A quality paver sealer locks in the polymeric sand, prevents weed growth, resists staining, and enhances the color of your pavers. Sealing extends the life of your hardscaping investment significantly.

How often should pavers be cleaned and re-sanded?
