Pricing and Estimates
How much does pressure washing cost in Northumberland County?
Pricing varies by service and the scope of work. House washing runs $300 to $750. Roof cleaning runs $400 to $900. Gutter cleaning runs $125 to $400. Concrete and driveway cleaning runs $100 to $500, depending on square footage. Deck and fence cleaning runs $150 to $450. Full exterior home cleaning runs $999 and up. Every estimate is free and based on a walk of your specific property.
Do you charge for estimates?
No. Every estimate is free. We walk the property with you, assess every surface, and give you a clear written number before anything starts. There is no obligation to book after an estimate.
What payment methods do you accept?
Kleen-N-Brite accepts cash, checks, and credit cards. Financing is not available through Kleen-N-Brite.
Will the price change after the job starts?
No. The price quoted after the property walk-through is the price. There are no surprise charges when the job is done.
Do you offer any discounts?
We do not run promotional discounts. Our pricing reflects the actual cost of doing the job correctly with professional equipment and professional-grade cleaning solutions. Customers who book multiple services in a single visit often see better overall value than those who book individual services separately.
Scheduling and Availability
How quickly can you get me scheduled?Â
During peak season — April and May — we typically book approximately two weeks out. From June through October, most customers are scheduled within 7 to 10 days of accepting an estimate.
How quickly do you respond to inquiries?
We respond to every inquiry within 24 hours and usually the same day during the active season. Phone calls are returned the same day, Monday through Friday, 7:30 am to 7 pm, and Saturday, 7:30 am to 3 pm.
Do you work on weekends?
Yes. We work Monday through Saturday. We do not work on Sundays.
Do I need to be home when the cleaning is done?
You do not need to be home during the cleaning itself. We do prefer to walk the property with you before we start, so we can note any areas of concern. We also do a final walk-through at the end of every job and prefer to have the homeowner present when possible.
What happens if it rains on my scheduled day?
We will contact you to reschedule. Soft washing can sometimes be performed in light rain, but we make the call based on conditions on the day of the job and always communicate with you before making any decision about rescheduling.
Services and Methods
What is the difference between soft washing and pressure washing?
Soft washing uses a professional cleaning solution applied at low pressure—typically under 500 PSI—to kill biological growth at the root and rinse it away gently. Pressure washing uses high-pressure water at 2,000 PSI or higher to mechanically blast surface material off. Soft washing is the correct method for siding, roofing, decking, and fencing. Pressure washing at appropriate levels through a commercial surface cleaner is used on concrete surfaces.
Do you clean roofs?
Yes. Roof cleaning is one of our primary services. We use a soft wash method, the only cleaning approach recommended by the Asphalt Roofing Manufacturers Association for asphalt shingles. We never use high-pressure washing on roofs.
Can you remove oil stains from my driveway?
We can significantly reduce or eliminate many oil stains depending on how long they have been on the surface and how deeply they have penetrated the concrete. Old, deep oil stains may not come out completely. We assess the staining honestly before we start and tell you what to expect before we take your money.
Do you clean composite decks differently from wood decks?
Yes. Composite decking requires composite-safe cleaning solutions at lower pressure than wood decking. Using the wrong solution or too much pressure on the composite permanently damages the surface texture and can void the manufacturer’s warranty.
Do you offer gutter guard removal and reinstallation?
Yes. Homes with gutter guard systems require the guards to be removed before the gutters can be properly cleaned, and they must be reinstalled afterward. This is an upcharge that will be discussed prior to the cleaning and will be reflected in the estimate.
What surfaces do you clean?
Kleen-N-Brite cleans residential siding, roofing, gutters, concrete driveways, walkways, patios, wood and composite decks and railings, vinyl and wood fencing, and full home exteriors. We do not offer window cleaning, wood restoration, paver sealing, or RV cleaning.
Safety and Property Protection
Will pressure washing damage my landscaping?
No. We water down plants and landscaping before applying any cleaning solution, and rinse them again after the cleaning is complete. We work carefully around garden beds and do not run equipment through planted areas when possible.
Is the cleaning solution safe for my family and pets?
Yes. The professional-grade solutions we use are applied responsibly and rinsed thoroughly. We will let you know if there is anything specific to be aware of for your situation before or after the cleaning.
Will soft washing damage my siding or paint?
No. Soft washing is applied at pressures well below those that could damage siding, paint, or trim. It is the safest, most effective cleaning method available for residential exterior surfaces.
Do you carry insurance?
Yes. Kleen-N-Brite carries full general liability insurance on every job.
