When Did Your House Start Looking So... Tired?
Professional House Siding Pressure Washing That Actually Works
You know that moment when you pull into your driveway and really look at your house? Maybe it's when the afternoon sun hits just right, or when you're comparing it to your neighbor's freshly cleaned home. Suddenly you notice what's been building up slowly over months—those dark streaks, the green patches, that overall dull, grimy look that makes your entire home seem neglected.
Here's the thing: your siding isn't just dirty. It's under siege. Between New Hampshire's coastal humidity, seasonal pollen storms, and the constant barrage of environmental pollutants, your home's exterior is fighting a losing battle. And while you might be tempted to grab a pressure washer and blast everything clean, that's often where homeowners make expensive mistakes.
At Handymasters Painting, we've been helping Durham, Portsmouth, Dover, and Exeter homeowners restore their home's curb appeal with professional house siding pressure washing that gets results without causing damage. Because there's a big difference between cleaning your siding and accidentally destroying it.
The Problem That Sneaks Up on Every Homeowner
Let's talk about what's really happening to your siding. It's not just accumulating dirt—it's becoming a breeding ground for mold, mildew, and algae that actually feed on your home's exterior. That green tinge on your north-facing wall? Those black streaks under your gutters? That's not just cosmetic damage—it's organic growth that can actually break down your siding material over time.
Vinyl siding might seem low-maintenance, but it's surprisingly vulnerable to staining and discoloration. Wood siding faces even bigger challenges, with moisture and organic growth threatening both the appearance and structural integrity. Even fiber cement siding, tough as it is, can look absolutely terrible when it's covered in years of buildup.
Maybe you've tried tackling it yourself with a garden hose and some elbow grease. Maybe you've even rented a pressure washer and given it a shot. But here's what most people discover: use too much pressure and you'll damage the siding, force water behind the boards, or leave permanent streaks. Use too little and you're basically giving your house an expensive rinse.
If you've been searching for "siding power washing near me" but weren't sure who to trust with your biggest investment, you're not alone. Most homeowners realize they need professional help after they've already learned the hard way that pressure washing house siding is trickier than it looks.
How We Actually Fix What's Wrong
Home siding cleaning isn't about pointing a pressure washer at your house and hoping for the best. It's about understanding what you're dealing with and using the right approach for your specific situation.
Every siding material has its own requirements. Vinyl siding needs a completely different technique than painted wood. Fiber cement can handle more pressure than aluminum. Age matters too—newer siding can take more aggressive cleaning than older, more delicate surfaces.
We start by assessing what you've got: the material, the age, the condition, and the type of contamination we're dealing with. Then we use the right combination of eco-friendly cleaning solutions and carefully calibrated pressure to break down the buildup and lift it away without damaging the surface underneath.
The result isn't just a cleaner house—it's a house that looks like it was properly maintained all along. And because we're eliminating the organic growth at the source, not just blasting it off, your siding stays cleaner longer.
This approach is perfect for homes throughout the Seacoast region, where coastal conditions create unique challenges for exterior maintenance.
Why Homeowners Trust Us With Their Biggest Investment
We Don't Damage What We're Trying to Clean
Every siding material has limits. We know exactly how much pressure vinyl can handle, how to clean wood without forcing water behind the boards, and how to treat fiber cement without leaving marks. Your siding gets cleaned, not damaged.
We Kill the Problem at the Source
Those dark streaks and green patches aren't just dirt—they're living organisms that will come back unless you eliminate them properly. Our cleaning solutions actually kill mold, mildew, and algae spores so they stay gone longer.
