This summer was Joeys 2nd year power washing my home. He does an incredible job. I had him back a few days later to do the picnic tables and other yard furniture. As a result, two of my neighbors hired him to do their homes as well. Excellent communication skills, professional and knowledgeable about what He is doing. It’s a plus that what he uses to wash the house does not kill my beautiful plants. I highly recommend Joe. He gets a 10 out of 10 in my book.

Expert Cedar Shake Cleaning in Marshfield, MA
Cedar shake cleaning in Marshfield means working with a material that takes a beating from the coast. Salt air, humid summers, and wet New England winters push algae, mold, and black bacteria deep into the grain of cedar shakes. Left alone, that growth breaks down the wood and shortens the life of the surface. At JJC Pressure and Softwash, we use a low-pressure softwash process suited to cedar. High pressure splits and lifts shakes, so we rely on the right cleaning solution applied at safe pressure to lift organic growth without forcing water behind the surface. Cedar shakes on north-facing or shaded walls tend to show the heaviest buildup, and homes close to the water often see faster growth cycles. We treat every property the way we would want our own home treated. If your shakes are showing dark streaks, green patches, or a gray film that goes beyond natural weathering, reach out to schedule a visit.

Common questions about cedar shake cleaning in Marshfield, MA.
