A home with a stucco exterior has a distinct, high-end appeal, offering a beautiful and textured finish. However, in the humid Connecticut climate, this porous surface is a magnet for algae, mildew, and mold, which manifest as unsightly dark streaks, green patches, and dirt accumulation. These stains not only ruin your home’s curb appeal but can also indicate biological growth that is actively feeding on your home’s exterior.
Using a standard pressure washer on stucco is a recipe for disaster. The high-pressure water stream can easily etch, crack, or blast holes directly into the delicate finish, leading to thousands of dollars in repairs. Even more dangerously, it can force a huge volume of water behind the stucco and into your wall cavities. This creates the perfect dark, damp environment for dangerous black mold to grow within the walls of your home.
Northeast Gutters & Remodeling exclusively employs the soft washing method—the only technique approved by stucco manufacturers and industry experts. This gentle, low-pressure approach applies a custom blend of high-quality algaecides and cleaning agents to the surface. These solutions do the work, killing all organic growth at the root. The dead contaminants and dirt are then gently rinsed away, restoring your stucco’s beauty with zero risk of damage.
We guarantee a safe cleaning process by using low-pressure pumps and specialized nozzles that are gentler than a garden hose spray, protecting the integrity of your stucco.
By never using high pressure, we protect your home from water being forced into the wall system, which is the leading cause of stucco failure and interior mold issues.
Our technicians are fully trained and certified in the specific protocols for cleaning both traditional hard-coat stucco and modern EIFS (Exterior Insulation and Finish System).
DANGER: Never let an amateur with a pressure washer near your stucco home. The cost to repair gouged or cracked stucco and remediate mold from water intrusion can be astronomical. For Connecticut homeowners, there is no substitute for a professional, certified soft wash service. It is the only way to clean stucco safely.

Stucco is a cement-based siding, but it is much softer and more brittle than concrete. High-pressure water will literally blast away the material, leaving permanent scars and cracks. More importantly, it forces water into the structure, which can lead to wood rot and dangerous mold growth inside your walls.
Those unsightly black streaks are a very common type of algae called Gloeocapsa magma. It thrives in humid climates like Connecticut’s and uses the limestone in stucco as a food source. Our soft wash process is designed to kill this specific organism.
Absolutely. The cleaning effectiveness comes from our specialized detergents that break down and kill the organic growth causing the stains. The low-pressure rinse simply washes away the dead matter. It is far more effective than pressure washing, which often just blasts the top layer of algae off, allowing it to grow back quickly.
No. Our cleaning agents are professional-grade and designed to be safe for all types of stucco finishes, including painted and integrally colored stucco, when applied by a trained technician. The process actually reveals the original, vibrant color by removing the layer of grime and algae.
To keep it looking its best and prevent the deep rooting of organic growth, we recommend a professional soft wash for stucco homes in Connecticut every 2 to 3 years. Regular cleaning is the best preventative maintenance.
During your free estimate, we will inspect the condition of your stucco. Hairline cracks are typically not an issue. However, larger cracks should be repaired by a stucco specialist before cleaning to prevent any water from getting in. We will be upfront and honest in our assessment.
Yes, our soft wash process is the primary cleaning method recommended by EIFS manufacturers. High pressure is strictly forbidden on EIFS as it can easily puncture the finish and saturate the insulation board beneath, leading to catastrophic failure.
Protecting your property is a core part of our process. We pre-rinse all plants and cover delicate landscaping as needed. Windows and doors are also rinsed before, during, and after to ensure our cleaning solutions are applied only where intended and everything is left spotless.
