Restoring a Home’s Curb Appeal with Professional House Washing in Gettysburg, PA

Every now and then, I get a job where the results even surprise me. This recent house washing project in Gettysburg, PA, was one of those. The homeowner reached out because their vinyl siding and gutters had developed noticeable dirt and algae over time. They wanted their home looking fresh again, and I was happy to help.

The Problem: Algae & Dirt Taking Over

Over time, it’s normal for a house to accumulate grime—especially in areas with humidity, shade, and seasonal weather changes like we get here in Pennsylvania. In this case, the vinyl siding had a layer of green algae, and the gutters were looking dull and stained from oxidation.

• Siding: Green algae streaks and general dirt buildup.

• Gutters: Oxidation stains making them look weathered.

The homeowner wanted a safe and effective cleaning—no harsh pressure that could damage their siding or leave streaks. That’s exactly what I specialize in.

The Solution: Soft Washing & Gutter Brightening

This job took me about five hours from start to finish since I cleaned multiple surfaces. I used a combination of soft washing and specialized cleaning solutions to get the best results without causing any damage.

✔ Soft Washing the Siding – Vinyl siding can’t handle high pressure, so I used a soft wash technique. This process involves applying a special cleaning solution that breaks down dirt and algae, followed by a gentle rinse. No risk of damage—just a clean, fresh look.

✔ Gutter Brightening – Years of exposure left the gutters looking dingy. I applied a professional-grade cleaning solution to remove oxidation and grime, restoring their original white finish.

The Results: A Fresh, Clean Home Exterior

By the time I was done, the difference was night and day. The siding was back to its original color, and the gutters were bright again. The homeowner was thrilled and even left a fantastic review on my Google page, which is always great to see.
