Roof Repair in Pittsburgh: What It Costs and When Repair Beats Replacement
Most Pittsburgh roof repairs run $150–$1,500 — this guide explains when repair makes sense and when replacement is the smarter call.
House Washing Pittsburgh: Soft Wash Done Right
Algae and mold on siding are not just cosmetic problems. Algae holds moisture against the siding surface, which accelerates deterioration of paint, coatings, and in some cases the material itself. Regular cleaning extends the life of your siding and keeps the paint or factory finish looking right between recoats. For Pittsburgh homeowners, cleaning every two to three years is a reasonable maintenance schedule given the region’s humidity and tree cover.
Siding restoration is a service we provide for siding that has accumulated years of oxidation, biological growth, and grime but is otherwise structurally sound. Soft wash cleaning combined with appropriate restoration treatment can significantly improve the appearance of older vinyl, aluminum, and painted wood siding without requiring a full replacement. If the siding has physical damage or is beyond what cleaning can address, we’ll tell you that and give you a repair or replacement estimate instead.
We also offer pre-painting siding cleaning. If you’re having your home’s exterior painted, a clean, properly prepped surface is the foundation of a paint job that lasts. We can coordinate the cleaning with your painting timeline to ensure the surface is ready when the painters arrive.
Pittsburgh’s climate is tough on exterior siding. Professional cleaning extends the life of your siding and improves your home’s curb appeal. Free written estimate.

How Our Siding Cleaning Process Works
We follow a four-stage soft wash process that removes organic growth without damaging panels:
Step 1 — Assessment & Quote
We look at the siding type, the type and extent of contamination, and any areas of concern. Written estimate provided before we start.
Step 2 — Surface Preparation
We pre-wet plantings and landscape elements near the house to protect them from cleaning solution runoff. Windows and doors noted for rinse-down afterward.
Step 3 — Soft Wash Application
Cleaning solution applied to siding and allowed to dwell for appropriate contact time. The solution breaks down algae, mold, mildew, and organic growth at the surface.
Step 4 — Low-Pressure Rinse
Surface rinsed with controlled-pressure water to clear residue. Pressure settings are calibrated for the siding type to avoid moisture infiltration or surface damage.
Step 5 — Final Walkthrough
We walk the exterior with you, confirm all contamination has been addressed, and identify any areas where siding damage was uncovered that may need repair.
