Window Cleaning
We understand – window cleaning can be tiresome and tedious. When it comes to exterior windows, however, the job can become dangerous! Yet, it’s still important to regularly wash them as dirty windows can dramatically lower curb appeal. No matter how much exterior maintenance you do to your Pasadena property, if your windows are dirty they can make your entire property look dingy. It’s similar to a car – if it’s clean, shiny, and waxed but the windows and mirrors are dirty, all your efforts to keep your car clean are useless. It won’t look good.
Therefore, we recommend cleaning your windows regularly.

Power Washing vs. Pressure Washing
These two terms are commonly used interchangeably, but they are actually two different methods. Power washing relies on high water pressure and temperature to blast away dirt and grime. Pressure washing, on the other hand, only uses high water pressure to get the job done. The method you need therefore depends on the amount of contaminant build up there is on the surface. If a surface needs a deeper cleanse, power washing is the better choice.
These two methods use high water pressure that can reach up to 4000 psi. These techniques are best for more durable surfaces like concrete and asphalt driveways, walkways, and patios. You want to avoid pressure washing surfaces that are easily damaged with high psi levels, such as wood decks, pavers, roofs, and siding! Soft washing is the better alternative in these cases.
The Perfect Alternative: Soft Washing
This method is becoming more popular as it does a thorough job while avoiding damage. This method uses low psi settings to gently cleanse surfaces. How does it clean you may ask? High water pressure is replaced with powerful detergents that are specially designed to break down tough dirt, stains, and other contaminants like mold or mildew. Once the detergents do their job, they are rinsed away.
How Effective is Low Pressure Washing?
The truth is, the soft wash method is extremely effective and arguably better than traditional pressure washing in some cases. The solvents used in this process contain small traces of sodium hypochlorite (SH), which eliminates algae, mold, and mildew, and oftentimes contain surfactants for a more thorough cleansing. Therefore, these chemicals not only remove contaminants but they sanitize the surfaces too, helping prevent future build up. A good cleaning job does not always require high water pressure. Contaminants on roofs and decks, for example, don’t have to be blasted away; rather, they can be broken down with the right solvents and chemicals and look brand new once the job is done.
How Do Professionals Soft Wash a House?
When we soft wash a house or commercial property in Pasadena we stick to a simple process:
Protect Nearby Plants and Vegetation From the Chemicals
Although the detergents contain only a small fraction of SH which can damage plants, our aim is 100% customer satisfaction and that involves taking excellent care of all your property, including your landscape! Before spraying on the chemicals, we lightly rinse all nearby plants with water to give them a protective shield from the solvents. Since plants can only absorb so much moisture, we saturate them to dilute any chemicals that come in contact with them. We do this before, during, and after we soft wash your house for maximum protection while taking care to not over water your plants.
Prepare the Equipment & Spray on the Detergents
Next, we prepare the equipment. To lower the water pressure, we attach a wide spray tip to the end of a pressure washer. Then, we spray on the detergents from the bottom up one section at a time. After the chemicals have sat on the surface for about 10-15 minutes, we gently rinse starting at the top and working our way down.

Exterior House Washing
Your home is an investment. It’s a place where you should feel safe and comfortable; a place where you can kick your feet up and relax. But how can you do that when your home is covered in contaminants like mold and mildew, which can affect your health? You can’t. That’s why exterior house maintenance is so vital. Tasks such as window cleaning effectively eliminate all contaminants that wreak havoc on your property and health. We service a variety of surfaces including plastic, brick, concrete, asphalt, stone, windows and shutters, wood, and more throughout Pasadena, CA.

Roof Washing
Roof maintenance is oftentimes forgotten about, causing roofs to be neglected and therefore susceptible to early damage, repair, and even replacement. Failing to regularly inspect and clean your roof can lead to expensive repairs down the road. Routine maintenance is really a preventative measure that extends the life of your roof and prevents deterioration. Mold, mildew, and algae will break down the limestone in your roof shingles over time and could cause them to begin lifting. This only leads to moisture damage and even roof leaks in some cases! The last thing you want to have on your plate is an entire roof replacement job. Hire a professional in Pasadena to get your rooftop in good condition today.
Paver Sealing
There are many benefits to sealing your pavers after a good wash. When you clean them with low water pressure to avoid loosening or damaging them, it restores the pavers to their natural color and expands their life. Sealing your pavers goes even further. It prevents future discoloration from sun exposure, water damage, weed growth, and efflorescence, and it adds a protective layer from stains and contaminants from foot and vehicle traffic. It can even add more texture to your pavers to prevent slipping hazards! Overall, sealing reduces the time it takes to clean your pavers in the future; it’s the perfect preventative measure. If you want your pavers to last longer and keep them clean and stain-free, hire a professional to apply sealing! We provide paver sealing service throughout Pasadena and nearby cities in LA County and would be happy to help get your home in its best condition.
Gutter Cleaning
Gutter cleaning is one exterior maintenance project that is easily overlooked and can cause serious problems later on if neglected. Gutters can become clogged with dirt, leaves, small twigs, and even animal feces, all of which can and will prevent water from flowing down and away from your home. If water has nowhere to go and instead sits in your gutters, it will weigh them down and cause them to break. If there is enough water sitting in the gutters, it will eventually overflow and pour down your home’s siding. This can not only wear down your siding but also oversaturate the ground below. Depending on the amount of contaminants and debris in your gutters, you could be left dealing with roof leaks, basement flooding, and in the worst case scenario a weakened foundation, which could make your home in Pasadena extremely dangerous to live in!
Take the necessary preventative steps today with professional gutter clearing. Our team understands that this is not the most appealing job; that’s why we are happy to take care of it for our homeowners in Pasadena!
Solar Panel Cleaning
Regularly washing your solar panels saves you money in the future because it allows them to function properly. If solar panels are dirty and grimy, how will they let in sufficient sunlight and convert it into energy? They won’t. That’s why with SoCal’s high air pollution and little annual precipitation, we recommend you clean your panels year round. Of course, it depends on where exactly you live and whether you have large trees near your property. Large trees mean more bird droppings, a common contaminant we find on solar panels.
Give us a call and we’d be happy to recommend a regular maintenance schedule for you. Our team has extensive experience with solar panel maintenance throughout Pasadena and all of LA County. Hiring a professional to get this done for you will save you time and prevent injuries as this job can be dangerous since most solar panels are located on roofs. We have the tools, equipment, and personal protective equipment ready to check this off your to-do list.
