Heavy Organic Growth Removed From Montpelier VT Home

This Montpelier home had years of organic buildup working against it - thick green and black growth creeping up the siding, packed into the gutter line, and spreading along the foundation. A previous washer had taken a shot at it and couldn't fully get it done. That's where we came in.

The siding situation was significant. Heavy algae and moss had taken hold in the shaded areas, especially along the roofline and around the gutters. That kind of buildup doesn't just look bad - it holds moisture against your siding and slowly breaks down the surface over time. We used a soft wash approach, which means the right cleaning solution does the heavy lifting instead of blasting the surface with high pressure. It gets into the growth at the root level and clears it out completely.

The deck needed attention too. The wood had accumulated a season's worth of grime and discoloration. After cleaning, you can see the natural color of the boards come back through - it's a big difference. Same story with the front steps, which went from dull and weathered-looking to clean and sharp.

What makes this job worth talking about is the fact that another company had already attempted it. Not every washer uses the right mix of chemistry and technique for stubborn organic growth, especially in wooded Vermont settings where shade keeps things damp year-round. Getting it right the first time - or in this case, finally getting it right - matters.

A proper house wash isn't just about appearances. Clean siding, clean gutters, and a clean deck all help your home hold up better season to season. If your place has buildup that won't quit, that's exactly the kind of work we do.
