House Washing, Roof Cleaning and Pressure Washing in Lake Forest, IL

Lake Forest sits on the Lake Michigan shore, with Lake Forest College, the Market Square shopping center and long winding streets of large older homes on wooded lots. Stone, brick, stucco and painted wood are common here, and ravines and tall trees keep a lot of those walls in shade.

Our work in Lake Forest

We have worked in Lake Forest, in zip code 60045. It is one of the longer drives on our map, so we quote from your address and plan the visit around it.

Big houses mean big wall area, and many of the materials are ones a pressure washer would hurt: old painted trim, soft brick, cedar and natural stone. We soft wash them, letting the solution do the cleaning and keeping the rinse gentle. Shaded ravine lots are where the green shows up first, and slate and tile roofs are quoted by roof type.

Questions from Lake Forest homeowners

Do you work in Lake Forest?

Yes. We work in Lake Forest, zip code 60045, about thirty-five minutes from our shop.

How fast can you come out in Lake Forest?

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

Is soft washing safe on old brick and painted wood?

Yes. That is what soft washing is for. Older brick, cedar and painted trim get a milder solution and a gentle rinse, never a pressure blast.

Can you wash a large house with a long driveway?

Yes. The instant quote measures your house and driveway from above, so a bigger property is quoted by its real size.

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.
