House Washing, Roof Cleaning and Pressure Washing in Lake in the Hills, IL

Lake in the Hills grew up around Woods Creek Lake, and most of its growth came in the 1990s. That gives the village two kinds of houses: older lakeside cottages and ranches in the original section, and newer subdivisions of closely matched vinyl-sided homes. Boulder Ridge, the gated community with the village's 18-hole golf course, adds larger houses on bigger lots.

Our work in Lake in the Hills

We have washed houses in Lake in the Hills. A street of same-age subdivision homes tends to go green in the same places, usually the north wall and the shaded side by the garage. A wash is often a whole-house job in one visit.

The older homes near the lake are a different story. Cottage-era siding sits closer to damp ground and trees, and it collects algae and cobwebs faster than the newer builds do.
