House Washing, Roof Cleaning and Pressure Washing in Elgin, IL

Elgin is the farthest town on our western side, a river city with real age to it. The Fox River runs through the middle, the older streets near downtown have brick, painted wood and early-1900s houses, and the newer blocks toward the edges are mostly vinyl. Old paint and old mortar are the reason we soft wash here instead of reaching for a pressure washer.

Our work in Elgin

We have worked in Elgin, so this page is not a guess about a town we have only read about. It is a longer drive than most of our jobs, which is why we ask for your address first and quote from there.

Houses near the river and under mature street trees stay damp and go green on the north side. On the older homes, wood trim and window frames get a gentle rinse, and brick is cleaned at low pressure so the joints stay put.

Questions from Elgin homeowners

Do you really come out to Elgin?

Yes. We work in Elgin, zip codes 60120, 60123 and 60124. Type your address on the quote page and you will see the quote for your house.

How fast can you come out in Elgin?

Type your address on the quote page and your quote is on screen in seconds. Most Elgin washes are booked within one to two weeks in season.

Can you wash an older house with painted wood trim?

Yes. Old paint is the reason we soft wash. The solution does the cleaning, so the rinse stays gentle on trim and window frames.

Do you clean brick walks and patios?

Yes. Brick and pavers are cleaned at a lower setting than poured concrete, so the joints stay intact.

Do I need to be home?

Usually not. We need an outdoor spigot and access to the areas being cleaned. We text before we arrive and do a final walk-around with you if you are there.

When do I pay?

If you are home, after we walk around the property with you and you give us the OK. If nobody will be home, we take payment ahead of time, or you can leave a check out for us before we start. Nothing is charged when you book.
