Power Washing in Franklin Lakes, NJ
Driveways, walkways, patios and concrete brought back to like-new.
Power Washing in Franklin Lakes, NJ
We're Gallo Bros, a family-run exterior cleaning outfit working right here in Franklin Lakes and around Bergen County. Franklin Lakes has a lot of larger colonials and stone-front homes set back on wooded, hilly lots — the kind of properties where tree cover means shaded siding and roofs stay damp longer. That shade is exactly why we see so much of the black streaking and green-gray growth on north-facing rooflines and vinyl up here.
Because a lot of homes in town run to asphalt shingle and some cedar, we don't just blast everything with high pressure. Roofs and softer surfaces get a soft wash — low pressure plus the right cleaning solution — so we lift the algae and mildew without tearing up shingles or forcing water under them. High pressure is for the stuff that can take it: concrete driveways, walkways, and the Belgian-block-edged paver patios you find on a lot of these properties.
We also handle the seasonal reality of North Jersey. Pollen coats everything in spring, humid summers grow algae, and fall leaves clog gutters fast. We do the house wash, the gutter cleaning, and the windows so you're not juggling three different crews. Straightforward work, honest quotes, local guys.

What neighbors say
5.0 · 901+ Google reviews“Before and after photos attached. Gallo Bros Power Washing is a must. Our pavers were full of weeds which took me hours to pull out only to have to do again a week later when they grew back. With two short days, our pavers looked brand new. After the men power washed our pavers, my husband and I could barely believe they did not totally replace them haha When they arrived day 2 to fill in and sand the pavers, again we were speechless. Our yard looks completely new. We are so appreciative of the quick and professional work they did as well as the friendliness and quick responses we received. Highly recommend this service!”

“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.”

“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!”

Power Washing in Franklin Lakes — FAQ
Do you soft wash roofs in Franklin Lakes?
Yes. Most homes here have asphalt shingle or cedar, and both need low-pressure soft washing, not high-pressure blasting. Soft wash kills the algae and mildew (those black streaks) without stripping granules or damaging the roof. The shaded, wooded lots in town make roof growth especially common on the north side of the house.
How much does power washing cost around here?
It depends on the size of the home and what you need cleaned — a two-story colonial house wash is different from a driveway or a full house-plus-gutters package. We give free, no-pressure estimates in person or from clear photos so you get a real number, not a guess.
When's the best time to power wash in North Jersey?
Spring is popular because pollen coats everything, and late summer through fall is great for knocking down the algae that grows in our humid months. We work March through late fall, weather permitting. Gutter cleaning is best done after the leaves drop.
Will pressure washing damage my pavers or Belgian block?
Not the way we do it. We use the right pressure for the surface and can re-sand joints if cleaning displaces the polymeric sand. A lot of Franklin Lakes patios and driveways have paver-and-block detailing, so we're careful to clean without blowing out the joints.
Are you licensed and insured?
Yes, we're fully insured and happy to provide proof before we ever touch your property. We're a family-owned local business, not a national franchise, so you're dealing with us directly.
How much does power washing cost in NJ?
Most jobs run about $200–$500 depending on the surface and square footage. Driveways, walkways and patios are priced by size — you get a firm quote free.
What can you power wash?
Concrete driveways, walkways, patios, pavers, decks and other hard surfaces. For roofs and siding we switch to soft washing so nothing gets damaged.
Can power washing remove oil and rust stains?
Most of them, yes. We use surface cleaners and targeted treatments for oil, rust and grime. Deep-set stains may lighten rather than vanish — we'll tell you straight before we start.
