Connecticut homeowners choose composite siding for its promise of durability and low-maintenance beauty. Brands like Azek, Trex, and HardiePlank offer a fantastic look without the constant upkeep of wood. However, “low-maintenance” does not mean “no-maintenance.” Over time, even these advanced materials can fall victim to green algae, black mildew, and a layer of grime that makes your home look dull and dirty.
Faced with this, some are tempted to use a pressure washer for a quick fix. This is a critical mistake. While composite siding is tough, it is not invincible. High-pressure water can mar the finish, cause discoloration, and most importantly, it can permanently void your valuable manufacturer’s warranty. Using the wrong cleaning method can turn a simple problem into a very expensive one.
Northeast Gutters & Remodeling provides the manufacturer-recommended soft washing service for all composite and vinyl siding. This is the only method that guarantees a safe, effective clean while protecting your warranty. We use specialized, pH-neutral cleaning agents applied at low pressure to kill all organic growth. A gentle rinse then washes away years of dirt and algae, restoring your siding’s original color and luster without any risk of damage.
Our method is the only one approved by major composite siding manufacturers, ensuring your investment and its warranty remain protected.
Our process safely removes the dull, dirty film covering your siding, revealing its true, vibrant factory color without the use of harsh, discoloring chemicals.
Our technicians are trained in the specific cleaning requirements for all major brands, including James Hardie (HardiePlank), LP SmartSide, Azek, and Trex siding.
Using high pressure on your composite siding is a gamble you can’t win. Almost every major manufacturer states in their warranty and care guides that high-pressure washing is not recommended and can void coverage. For smart Connecticut homeowners, professional soft washing isn’t just the best way to clean your siding—it’s the only way to protect your investment.

We pride ourselves on high-quality workmanship and customer service, combining tried-and-true old-school techniques with the latest technology to deliver a pleasant experience – from the first contact you have with our home

While composite is strong, high pressure can still cause irreversible damage like etching, marring the finish, and causing discoloration. Most importantly, it will likely void your manufacturer’s warranty, leaving you without coverage if a product defect arises later.
“Low-maintenance” is a more accurate term. No exterior surface is immune to the environment. Airborne dust, pollen, and especially the spores for algae and mildew are constantly landing on your siding. In Connecticut’s humid climate, this leads to the gradual buildup you’re seeing.
Yes. Our soft wash technique is the universally recommended cleaning method for all fiber cement (like HardiePlank) and engineered wood siding (like LP SmartSide) products. We follow the specific cleaning guidelines published by these manufacturers.
This is likely artillery fungus, which grows in mulch and shoots sticky black spores onto surfaces. It can be very difficult to remove once baked on by the sun. Our process can kill the fungus and remove fresh spores, but deeply embedded spots may remain. We can assess this during your estimate.
To keep your home looking its best and prevent the heavy buildup of algae and grime, we recommend a professional soft wash every 1 to 2 years for most Connecticut homes.
No, it will restore it. Our job is to remove the layer of organic growth and dirt that is masking the true color of your siding. We use pH-neutral, non-staining cleaners that rinse away completely, revealing the vibrant, original finish.
Our professional soft washing equipment is designed to safely and effectively apply solutions to second and third-story siding from the ground. This is much safer and more effective than using high pressure on a ladder.
Composite siding is typically a blend of materials like wood fibers, cement, and resins, making it thicker and more rigid. Vinyl siding is a PVC plastic. While different materials, the recommended cleaning process for both is the same: professional soft washing.
