for Every Surface
A lot of companies use high pressure on everything. That's fast — but it damages siding, strips paint, voids roofing warranties, and blasts caulk out of seams. We don't do that.
Pressure washing (high PSI) is correct for hard, durable surfaces: concrete driveways, brick sidewalks, stone patios. These surfaces can handle the force and the results are dramatic.
Soft washing (low PSI + cleaning solution) is correct for everything else: house siding, roofs, wood decks, painted surfaces, fences. The biodegradable solution does the work — not the pressure. It's safer, lasts longer, and is what roofing and siding manufacturers actually recommend.
When you hire Exterior Etcetera, you get the right method for your specific surfaces — and an eco-safe clean that's safe for your family, pets, and landscaping.
Pressure Washing — Best For:
Concrete driveways · Brick & stone patios · Sidewalks · Parking areas · Garage floors · Retaining walls
Soft Washing — Best For:
House siding (vinyl, wood, stucco, brick) · Roofs · Painted surfaces · Wood & composite decking · Fences · Screen enclosures
Eco-Safe Solutions
All our cleaning solutions are biodegradable and eco-friendly — safe for your landscaping, gardens, pets, and family. We rinse thoroughly after every application.
Results That Last
Soft washing kills the algae and mildew spores at the source — results typically last 2–5x longer than pressure washing alone on the same surfaces.
Property Protection
We never use high pressure where it could cause damage. Your siding, roof, and painted surfaces are protected on every job.
How We Work —
Start to Finish
No surprises, no shortcuts. Here's exactly what happens from your first call to the finished job.
Free Estimate & Site Assessment
We walk the property, assess every surface, identify any areas of concern, and give you a clear, itemized estimate. No obligation.
Surface & Method Selection
We determine the correct method (pressure or soft wash) and solution for each surface. One size does not fit all.
Pre-Treatment & Protection
We wet down and protect nearby landscaping, plants, and surfaces before any cleaning solution is applied.
Cleaning & Rinsing
We apply solution, allow proper dwell time, then thoroughly rinse every surface. Eco-safe solutions are fully neutralized on contact with water.
Final Inspection
We walk the entire property after cleaning to verify every surface meets our standard. Spots get re-treated until the result is right.
Cleanup & Sign-Off
We collect all equipment, clean up the work area, and walk you through the completed job before we leave.

5-Star Washing Results
Across the Seacoast
Had them soft wash the entire exterior of our home in South Berwick. The transformation was unbelievable — years of mildew and algae gone in one visit. They were careful with our landscaping and left zero mess. Looked brand new. Highly recommend.
Driveway and walkways pressure washed in Dover — came out looking like new concrete. They got out oil stains I'd given up on. Fast, professional, fair price. Will use every year going forward.
Soft washed our historic home in Portsmouth — incredibly careful with the old siding. The result was stunning. Chris knows what he's doing and doesn't cut corners. Best washing service on the Seacoast.
