Top 5 Signs Your Home Needs Pressure Washing (Kingston Homeowner’s Guide)

Keeping your home looking sharp isn’t just about curb appeal—it’s also about protecting your investment. But how do you know when it’s time to call in a professional pressure washing crew?

If you’re in Kingston, Napanee, Loyalist, or Frontenac, here are five telltale signs that your home is due for a deep, refreshing clean:

1. Green Stuff Growing on Siding

If you spot patches of green algae, moss, or mildew on your siding, that’s not just a cosmetic issue—it’s a red flag. These organic growths love Ontario’s humid summers and can cause staining, damage, or even health concerns over time. Pressure washing (or soft washing, for delicate surfaces) removes the buildup and helps prevent it from returning.

2. Your Driveway or Walkways Are Looking Grimy

If your concrete has lost its brightness and you see dark streaks, oil spots, or dirt tracks, it’s time to give it some love. Our professional-grade surface cleaners restore concrete, interlock, and asphalt to like-new condition—safely and efficiently.

3. You’re Selling or Hosting Guests

Whether you’re listing your home or just prepping for a backyard BBQ, a freshly washed exterior makes a huge impact. First impressions matter, and clean siding, steps, decks, and eavestroughs say a lot about how the home is cared for.

4. Your Roof Has Black Streaks

Those dark stains on your roof aren’t just dirt—they’re usually Gloeocapsa magma, a type of algae that feeds on shingles. Left untreated, it can shorten your roof’s lifespan. A soft wash treatment can safely remove those stains without damaging your shingles.

5. Your Gutters Are Overflowing or Stained

Overflowing gutters? Black tiger-striping down the sides? That’s a sign of clogged or dirty gutters. We clean the inside and outside of your gutters, improving water flow and aesthetics—especially important before spring rains or fall leaf season.
