House Washing in Chester, NJ — Soft Wash That Won't Wreck Your Siding
Most of the houses we wash in Chester fall into two camps. Out in Chester Township you've got homes on bigger, wooded lots — cedar shakes, board-and-batten, brick-front colonials tucked back behind mature oaks and maples. Closer to the Borough and Main Street you get tighter properties, older painted clapboard, and vinyl-sided homes where the walls sit right next to a neighbor's tree line.
The tree cover is the whole story here. All that shade keeps the north and east faces of a house damp long after the sun's out, and that's exactly where Gloeocapsa — the black algae that streaks down siding — takes hold. On vinyl and stucco we see green mildew film feeding on spring pollen and North Jersey's humid summers. You cannot blast that off with a pressure washer without driving water behind the siding or stripping the finish off stucco and EIFS.
That's why we soft wash. Low pressure, the right cleaning solution, and we let it do the work. It kills the algae and mildew at the root instead of just knocking the surface color off for a few months.

They also performed a few repairs and reset a few areas that needed attention. We had never had this done professionally before. From the beginning estimating phase to the final coat of sealer, we were very happy with the services provided, the price and the final result, which they also warrantee for 1 year. I highly recommend Gallo Bros. Power Washing and will use them for other services in the future.”

“Gallo Bros did an amazing job power-washing my home and roof. They assured me that if I had any concerns they would avail themselves to resolve them. After the cleaning a few leaves blocked the gutter after a heavy rain. They responded quickly and courteously, removing the blockage touched up ,y skylights as well. Before leaving they made sure I was satisfied. Oscar and his team came a few weeks later and sanded and sealed my paver walkway. They were polite and professional, explaining what they were doing, how long it would take, and instructions to ensure the best possible result. What I loved most was the professionalism in their communication. There were several days that we were rescheduled due to heavy rains and storms. The first thing they assured us of was their intent to make sure the job was done correctly. They would not come out to do the work, only to have it washed away. They stayed in contact every step of the way and I felt more than comfortable that the job would get completed the right way. If they couldn’t reach h me by phone they always left a voicemail or sent a text. I just happened to call them first in my search for roof cleaning, but I will never have to look further for these services again. I was really so impressed. Thank you Gallo Bros!”

“I wanted power wash my backyard deck for a long time but they said it cannot be done due to the equipment was not accessible however Gallo Brothers had very long 400feet hose and did the power wash which was not done for many years. I am very happy they did a very good job specially Mark was very helpful to do front porch and walkway. It is speck clean this is exactly what I wanted to do. I do highly recommend Gallo Bothers meticulous job.”

House Washing in Chester — FAQ
My cedar-shake house backs up to woods and the shady side is covered in green and black streaks — can you clean it without damaging the shakes?
Yes. Cedar can't handle pressure — it splinters and furs the wood grain. We soft wash it with a solution matched to the algae load on your shaded faces, rinse gently, and let it dry. The black Gloeocapsa staining and green mildew that build up on the north side under your tree canopy come off without tearing up the shakes.
I have a stucco/EIFS front. I've heard pressure washing can crack it — is soft washing actually safe?
It's the safe way to do it. EIFS and traditional stucco will crack, chip, or take on water if you hit them with high pressure. Soft washing runs at basically garden-hose pressure, so the cleaner treats the mildew and pollen film without forcing water into the wall system. That's the standard method for stucco in Chester.
When's the best time to have my house washed around here?
Late spring once the pollen drops, and again in fall are the two we recommend most in Chester. Spring clears off the winter grime and pollen coat; a fall wash knocks back the algae that thickened up over our humid summer before it sits all winter. We schedule same-week when the weather cooperates.
How much does house washing cost in NJ?
Most North Jersey homes run about $300–$550 for a full exterior soft wash, depending on size and stories. Quotes are free and firm.
Will it damage my siding?
No. We soft wash siding, stucco and brick with low pressure and a cleaning solution, so it lifts dirt, mildew and spiderwebs without forcing water behind the panels.
How often should I have my house washed?
Once every 1–2 years for most homes. Shaded, wooded or north-facing walls grow algae faster and may need it yearly.
Do I need to be home?
No. As long as we have access to the exterior and outdoor water, you don't need to be home. We'll confirm everything's spotless before we leave.
