House Washing, Roof Cleaning and Pressure Washing in Island Lake, IL
Island Lake sits on the line between Lake and McHenry County, named for the lake in the middle of the village. It is a mix of lakefront and lake-view homes, older cottages that have been added onto, and newer subdivisions. Anything near water stays damp, and the siding shows it.

Our work in Island Lake
We have worked in Island Lake, and it is one of the shortest drives on our map. The homes closest to the water are the ones we wash most often, because green and spider webs come back there by the next summer.
Older cottages here often have mixed siding, wood trim and small decks, so we check what each wall is made of before choosing how gently to rinse. Newer homes farther from the lake are mostly vinyl and are straightforward.

Questions from Island Lake homeowners
Do you serve Island Lake?
Yes. Island Lake, zip code 60042, is about fifteen minutes from our shop.
How fast can you come out in Island Lake?
Type your address on the quote page and your quote is on screen in seconds. Most Island Lake washes are booked within one to two weeks in season.
My house is on the water. Does that change anything?
Waterfront homes green up faster and collect spider webs. We see it every week on the Chain O'Lakes, and the soft wash handles both.
Can you wash a small cottage with wood trim?
Yes. Wood trim and older paint are why we soft wash. The solution does the cleaning, so the rinse stays gentle.
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.
