Power Washing & Pressure Washing in Ridgewood, NJ
Ridgewood is one of Bergen County's most sought-after commuter villages, known for its walkable downtown, NJ Transit station, and streets lined with stately Victorians, Tudors, and center-hall Colonials shaded by mature oaks. That same tree canopy and the humidity off the Ho-Ho-Kus Brook leave siding, roofs, and walkways prone to green algae and mildew. Gilligan's Power Washing keeps Ridgewood homes looking their best, safely and on schedule.

House Washing in Ridgewood NJ
Ridgewood's housing stock runs from century-old Victorians near the village center to brick Tudors and newer Colonials on the west side. We soft wash each one with low-pressure, biodegradable solutions that lift algae, pollen, and grime from wood clapboard, cedar shake, stucco, and vinyl without forcing water behind trim or under shingles. The result is a clean that lasts months longer than a pressure rinse.
Roof Cleaning in Ridgewood NJ
The heavy shade from Ridgewood's oaks and maples is ideal for the black streaks, moss, and lichen that creep across north-facing roofs. Our soft wash roof cleaning kills that growth at the root and rinses it away without the granule loss high pressure causes, protecting slate, cedar, and architectural asphalt shingles on the village's older and newer homes alike.
Paver and Driveway Cleaning in Ridgewood NJ
From bluestone walks near the downtown to paver patios and long asphalt and concrete driveways on the west side, Ridgewood hardscapes collect moss in the shade and tire marks at the curb. We deep-clean pavers, flagstone, concrete, and brick, then re-sand paver joints to lock them back in place and slow weed and ant intrusion.
Gutter Cleaning in Ridgewood NJ
With so many tall oaks and maples, Ridgewood gutters fill fast each spring and fall. We clear the troughs and downspouts so water moves away from your foundation, and brighten the gutter faces with a dedicated exterior wash that removes the black oxidation streaks a pressure rinse leaves behind.
