Power Washing in Lewes, DE
Lewes' Coastal Power Washing Specialists
Salt air off the bay does not take a season off. It leaves a film on siding, concrete, and painted surfaces that accelerates oxidation on fiber cement and painted wood while feeding algae on vinyl and concrete in the shade. Lewes carries three distinct property profiles: painted-wood and brick homes in the historic district, fiber-cement cottages along the bayfront, and vinyl-sided single-family homes in the surrounding subdivisions.
Many homes here are seasonal or retirement properties that sit unattended for stretches of the year, and that gap in attention lets contamination build up fast. By the time the owner returns, siding that looked fine in the fall can be streaked with algae and coated in salt residue.

Power Washing for Lewes Homes and Businesses
Most of our Lewes work is residential, maintaining homes across the historic district, the bayfront, and the surrounding neighborhoods. We also handle commercial properties such as storefronts, restaurants, and managed buildings in the area.
Residential Power Washing
Lewes homes range from painted wood and brick in the historic district to Hardie board on bayfront cottages and vinyl in the outer subdivisions. Each material responds differently to pressure and cleaning solution, and we adjust the approach accordingly. Here is what we offer Lewes homeowners:
- House Washing: Three tiers available (Basic, Deluxe, Premium), with the wash method and solution strength adjusted to your siding type. Vinyl, Hardie board, stucco, and brick from foundation to roofline.
- Roof Cleaning: Soft wash applied at low pressure on shingle roofs; metal roofs power washed, with oxidation removal for metal surfaces that have dulled over time.
- Gutter Cleaning: Debris removed by hand and flushed with pressure, downspouts cleared, and gutter brightening offered as an add-on for exterior destreaking.
- Window Cleaning: Squeegee-cleaned inside and out, every pane detailed and buffed. Screens soft-washed, tracks and sills wiped, hard water stain removal available.
- Driveway Cleaning: Concrete and paver surfaces pre-treated, surface-cleaned in sections, and post-treated where oil stains or tire marks remain.
- Deck Cleaning: Composite decks rinsed with a higher-ratio solution; wood and cedar decks get emulsifier, board-by-board pressure washing, and wood brightener at completion. Pool decks included.
- Fence Cleaning: Vinyl fences pre-treated and rinsed section by section; wood fences cleaned with algaecide, emulsifier, and wood brightener to restore the natural look.
- Rust Removal: Stain source identified before treatment begins. Irrigation rust and fertilizer or battery-acid rust addressed on concrete and vinyl surfaces.
- Paver Sealing: Full clean, polymeric sand replacement, and two coats of Seal N Lock water-based sealer applied in your choice of natural, medium gloss, or high gloss finish.
- Solar Panel Cleaning: Dust, algae, and salt film cleared with specialized cleaning solution and a long-handled soft brush to restore efficiency.
Annual or twice-annual cleaning is the typical cadence for Lewes homes. Properties with direct bay exposure or heavy tree cover may benefit from more frequent visits.
The mix of siding types across town means we carry the full range of equipment and solution concentrations on every truck, ready to shift approach from one property to the next.
Commercial Power Washing
We clean commercial properties throughout the Lewes area, matching the method to the building and scaling crew size to the footprint.
- Building Washing: Commercial buildings and multifamily structures washed from foundation to roofline, with the method matched to the cladding.
- Storefront Cleaning: Glass, facades, sidewalks, and entryways cleaned so your business makes the right first impression.
- Parking Lot and Garage Cleaning: Concrete and paved surfaces worked in sections to remove oil, tire marks, and embedded grime.

- Awning Cleaning: Fabric, vinyl, and metal awnings cleaned at low pressure to remove organic growth and staining without saturating seams.
- Drive-Through Cleaning: Restaurant and bank lane concrete degreased with our hot water unit and surface cleaner.
- Dumpster Pad Cleaning: Grease, organic waste, and odor removed from concrete enclosures with hot water and heavy-duty cleaning solution.
- Fleet Washing: Trucks, vans, and equipment cleaned with hot water and degreasing solution to strip road grime and exhaust buildup.
- Gas Station Cleaning: Fuel island, canopy, and building exterior cleaned of oil drips, rubber residue, and diesel exhaust film.

- Gum Removal: Hot water pressure washing softens and removes chewing gum from sidewalks, entryways, and paver surfaces.
- Post-Construction Clean Up: Concrete splatter, paint overspray, and construction dust removed from all exterior surfaces before occupancy.
We schedule commercial jobs during off-peak hours and bring additional crew when the business remains open. For apartment complexes, tenants receive advance notice and a team member provides umbrella escort during wet work. After-hours and weekend scheduling is available, and invoicing runs at net 30 or net 60 depending on how the property management company operates.
Why Lewes Homeowners Choose Us
Every item below comes standard. None of it is an add-on or an upgrade.
Plant Protection on Every Job
Your plants get a neutralizing treatment before we leave. It is part of the standard process on every job, not a line item you are charged for separately.
Chemical Safety You Can Verify
Every product we use comes with a Material Safety Data Sheet. You are welcome to review it on-site so you know exactly what is being applied to your home.
Weather-Adjusted Cleaning Solutions
We mix our cleaning solutions based on the day’s conditions. Warmer weather calls for a lighter concentration that protects plants and coatings; cooler weather gets a stronger ratio to cut through contamination.
Traditional Window Cleaning Method
Each window is hand-cleaned with a squeegee, detailed, and buffed until streak-free. We put the time into every pane rather than relying on water-fed systems.
We Bring Our Own Water If Needed
If your property lacks an outdoor water connection, we bring our own supply so the job stays on schedule. No rescheduling, no delays.
We Inspect Before We Start
We walk the full property before any cleaning begins and share everything we find with you. The assessment happens upfront so there are no questions after the fact.
Military and Veteran Discount
Veterans and active military receive up to 15% off every service. It is one way we show our appreciation.
How Our Lewes Power Washing Works
From the first call to a clean property, here is how the process runs.
Contact and On-Site Estimate
Call or email to get started. We schedule a visit to your property, walk the full exterior with you, and answer your questions on the spot.
Written Proposal
After the visit, you receive a formal written proposal by email. We follow up to make sure everything is clear and answer any remaining questions.
Approval and Scheduling
Once you approve, we get you on the calendar and send a reminder as the date approaches. About an hour before arrival, we give you a heads-up that we are on the way.
Pre-Job Preparation
We arrive, connect the water supply, and inspect the property for any pre-existing conditions. Everything we find is communicated before we start. Plants are pre-treated with Plant Wash neutralizing solution, and cleaning solutions are prepared through our downstream injection system.
Cleaning
We match the method to the surface. Roofs, painted wood, fiber cement, and delicate siding get the soft wash system at low pressure. Concrete driveways and flatwork get the power washer and surface cleaner attachment. For upper-story work, the crew uses extension ladders and harnesses. Solutions are applied, given dwell time, and rinsed in sections so nothing dries unevenly. Stubborn areas get targeted post-treatment. On homes closer to the bay, we lead with solution and keep pressure low to cut through salt film and oxidation without stressing original paint, mortar, or fiber-cement coatings.
Completion and Payment
We walk the results with you if you are home. Payment is collected on-site or invoiced at net 15 or net 30. A receipt follows a day or two later.
