FAQs

Roof FAQs

At A. Patullo Power Wash, Inc., we use a low-pressure soft washing method — never high-pressure washing — to safely remove algae, moss, dirt, and black streaks from roofing materials common throughout Hunterdon and Somerset County. High pressure can void warranties and damage shingles, which is why we strictly use manufacturer-recommended cleaning methods.

Those streaks are typically algae (Gloeocapsa magma), which thrives in humid New Jersey climates. Homes in Clinton, Flemington, Bridgewater, and surrounding wooded areas are especially prone to algae growth due to shade and moisture.

Most homes in Hunterdon and Somerset County benefit from pressure washer cleaning every 2–3 years depending on tree coverage, shade, and moisture exposure.

Yes. Removing algae and moss helps prevent premature shingle deterioration and can extend the life of your roof, reducing the likelihood of early replacement.

Paver Patios & Concrete Sidewalk Cleaning FAQ’s

Yes. We clean and treat paver patios and walkways to remove moss, algae, and organic buildup common in shaded NJ properties, especially in towns like Tewksbury, Readington, and Bedminster.

No. We use professional surface cleaners and controlled PSI levels to prevent etching or joint damage.

Most oil, grease, and rust stains can be significantly reduced using commercial-grade cleaning solutions and surface cleaning equipment.

For homes in Clinton and surrounding counties, concrete and paver surfaces typically need cleaning every 1–2 years depending on usage and exposure.

Stucco Cleaning FAQ’s


Stucco should never be cleaned with high pressure. We use soft wash technology to safely remove mold, algae, and staining without cracking or moisture intrusion.

Humidity and shade allow algae and mildew to grow on stucco surfaces. This is common throughout Hunterdon and Warren County due to wooded properties.

Brick Cleaning FAQ’s

Yes — when done properly. Older brick and mortar require lower pressure and appropriate cleaning agents to avoid erosion. We assess brick condition before cleaning.

Yes. We use specialty treatments designed to remove mineral deposits without damaging brick or mortar.

Fence Cleaning FAQ’s

Yes. We clean wood, vinyl, and metal fencing using material-appropriate pressure levels to prevent damage.

Power washing removes dirt, algae, and discoloration, often dramatically improving appearance. For wood fencing, sealing may be recommended after cleaning.

Deck Cleaning & Restoration FAQ’s

We use 200–400 PSI cold water and wood-safe cleaning agents to remove dead wood cells, mold, and mildew without damaging fibers.

Bleach can weaken wood fibers and shorten the lifespan of your deck. We use professional-grade wood cleaners designed for restoration.

Yes. After cleaning and proper drying, we apply high-quality wood protectants. We also offer a yearly maintenance program and a free 2-year inspection.

Wet and dry cycles from rain, snow, dew, and summer heat cause wood to swell and shrink. These cycles lead to cracking, splitting, and warping — especially in Northeast climates.

Siding Cleaning (House Washing) FAQ’s

Soft washing uses low pressure and cleaning solutions to remove mold and algae. Traditional pressure washing relies on force. Most siding in Clinton, NJ homes should be soft washed to avoid damage.

Homes in Hunterdon and Somerset County should be cleaned every 1–2 years due to humidity and pollen buildup.

Yes. Clean siding dramatically improves curb appeal and can increase perceived property value.
