Staten Island homes deal with a particular kind of buildup. The humidity off the water, tree cover in older neighborhoods, and the way moisture lingers on north and west-facing siding all create ideal conditions for algae, mildew, and grime to take hold. Black streaks and green film are not just cosmetic issues; they seep into surfaces over time, and the longer they sit, the harder they are to remove fully.
Aria Exterior Cleaning was built around this kind of work. We provide house washing in Staten Island, NY, using a soft-washing process that puts the cleaning power in the solution, not the pressure. We apply a soap solution directly to the surface, allow it time to break down what has built up, and rinse thoroughly at low pressure. No high-pressure blasting against siding, no risk to window seals, trim, or the plants sitting around the foundation.
We also adapt to the home before us. Vinyl, Hardie Plank, brick, and stucco each respond differently, so we adjust our approach to match the material rather than running the same process on every exterior we touch.
If you are ready to schedule an estimate, call Aria Exterior Cleaning at (718) 967-2461.
Our pricing is straightforward, and you will have a clear number before we schedule anything.
House washing starts at $299. We price by square footage, and the rate depends on the home’s exterior material. The two main factors are:
This is not a flat-rate service because the cleaning process varies by material. Stucco and brick typically require a stronger soap solution and a different application setup. Vinyl and HardiePlank use a different rinse method. In either case, we never rely on high pressure to clean the exterior.
We deliver most quotes in person. During that visit, we do not just price the one item you called about; we walk the full property and quote everything it may need. That way, you can see the full picture, compare options, and decide whether it makes sense to combine services into a single visit.
We build bundles and packages during the estimate based on the property’s needs.
When we come out, we typically quote everything we can offer at one time. That helps us build bundles, keep your pricing on file in our system, and make future scheduling easier if you decide to add work later. It also lets us offer better discounts when multiple services, such as gutter and driveway cleaning, are completed in a single visit because we keep the truck on site longer.
The most natural bundle for this service is House Wash + Exterior Window Cleaning. That pairing makes sense because both services improve the home’s overall look in a single appointment, and it is one of the most common combinations we quote.
We follow a consistent soft wash process across most siding types, whether the home is single-story or two-story. The treatment-plus-rinse method handles stucco, wood, and vinyl without applying pressure to the surface. For brick where moss is present, we apply a small amount of additional pressure to clear what rinsing alone cannot reach, staying deliberate throughout.
We do not clean vinyl siding with damaging high-pressure. For vinyl, we generally use a pressure washer setup fitted with special low-pressure tips so the rinse stays gentle and controlled. The cleaning solution does the real work, and the rinse is there to wash that buildup away without hitting the house with aggressive force. That matters because many homeowners hear the word “power washing” and picture a harsh stream blasting the siding. That is not how we clean homes. Our goal is to clean the surface safely and effectively while keeping the rinse mild enough for the exterior.
Hardie plank and hardy board also get a material-specific approach. We generally rinse these surfaces with a pressure washer equipped with specialized low-pressure tips, and we use that setup to clean the home without applying high pressure. For the homeowner, that means we are not using one generic method just because it is faster. We are adjusting the setup to the material at hand. That careful approach helps address one of the biggest concerns people have before booking house washing: damage from excessive pressure.
Brick usually needs a stronger soap solution than vinyl or hardy board. For brick exteriors, we use our soft-wash system and adjust the solution strength based on the surface’s needs. That system includes a proportioner, which lets us dial in the amount of solution rather than guess. The reason that matters is simple. Brick is not cleaned the same way as smoother siding materials. The process needs to be more controlled and more surface-specific, which is why we rely on the soft-wash system and proportioner instead of treating brick like every other exterior surface.
Stucco also calls for a stronger soap solution and a more surface-specific soft washing approach. We adjust the cleaning strength and the setup based on the stucco we are treating, and the proportioner helps us apply the right amount of solution instead of too much or too little. That is important because stucco is not handled the same way as vinyl or hardy board. We match the method to the material, which gives homeowners a cleaner result and more confidence that the house is being treated with the right process.
There are a few things that consistently come up when customers explain why they keep calling us. We show up prepared, communicate clearly throughout the process, and back every job with a real satisfaction commitment.
We clean homes by applying a soap solution, letting it do the work, and then rinsing carefully at low pressure. We do not use high pressure to clean a home. That helps reduce the risk of damage to siding, trim, paint, window seals, and landscaping, which is one of the main concerns homeowners have before they book a house wash.
We do not use the same method for every house. Brick and stucco usually require a stronger solution via the soft-wash system, while vinyl and hardy board use a different low-pressure rinse setup. That matters because the right result starts with matching the process to the material, rather than forcing every surface through the same workflow.
Our soft wash system includes a proportioner, which lets us dial in the exact amount of solution we need for the surface we are cleaning. That gives us a more controlled setup and helps us avoid overapplying or underapplying the mix.
We take precautions to reduce the chance of damage around the home. We keep plants moist so they are less likely to absorb the cleaning solution, and in more sensitive situations, we can cover them when needed. On Staten Island, where homes, planting beds, and nearby areas can be tight, careful prep matters.
We are equipped to clean up to three stories above ground on most house-washing jobs. That reduces the need for ladders, helps us work more safely, and keeps the job moving more efficiently.
We generally prefer to quote work in person. During that visit, we usually price everything the property could use, not just the one service you asked about. That helps you see bundle options, understand the full cost picture, and avoid needing another site visit later if you decide to add more work.
We show up with uniformed technicians and professional, commercial-grade equipment. For homeowners, that means a more polished service experience and the confidence that the crew arriving at the property is there to do the work the right way.
If you are home when we finish, we offer a final walkthrough so you can look everything over and tell us if you see anything that needs attention. If something reasonable comes up after we leave, we will go back and take care of it. That gives you a clear way to speak up before the job is considered complete.
We are fully insured and operate under a 100% satisfaction guarantee. For us, that means we want the customer to be happy before we leave the property, and if something reasonable was missed, we will address it.
We regularly work in densely populated residential areas where side access can be tight, homes may be close together, and parked vehicles can affect how the job is done. That local experience matters because it helps us plan around the layout before problems show up on service day.
Most customers reach out by phone, through the website, or through Google ads. From there, we follow up, set an estimate appointment, and in most cases, prefer to quote the work in person. That gives us a chance to see the home, talk through the service, and answer common questions about pressure, safety, and what the job will include.
During that estimate, we usually quote everything the property could need, not just the house wash itself. We do that so we can build bundles, keep pricing on file in our system, and make it easier for you to add work later without having to come back out just to price it again.
Before service day, we send a checklist by email to help you prepare. One of the biggest things on that list is making sure the water is turned on, because lack of water access is one of the most common preventable reasons a job cannot move forward.
We also look at the property layout, surrounding landscaping, nearby obstacles, and the exterior material we will be cleaning. In Staten Island neighborhoods where access can be tight and parked cars can sit close to the work area, that planning step helps the job go more smoothly.
We protect the property before applying the cleaning solution. That includes keeping landscaping moist to reduce risk and covering plants in more sensitive situations when needed.
At the same time, we confirm what material we are cleaning. If the home is vinyl, stucco, brick, or hardy board, we choose the cleaning strength and setup based on that surface. This step matters because the right process starts before the first application hits the house.
We spray the house with our soap solution, let the soap do the work, and then rinse it down. When we are treating organic growth, we use sodium hypochlorite. Brick and stucco usually need a stronger solution, while vinyl and hardy board use a different rinse configuration.
We use a soft wash system with a proportioner so we can dial in the amount of solution for the job. That gives us a more controlled process and helps us clean the house according to the material at hand, rather than relying on a one-size-fits-all method.
After the cleaning solution has done its job, we rinse the home carefully. Even when we use a pressure washer for rinsing, we do not use it at full pressure. We can clean up to three stories above the ground on most house-washing jobs, which helps reduce ladder use and keep the process more efficient.
If the homeowner is present, we conclude with a final walkaround. That gives you the chance to review the work with us, point out anything you want checked, and ensure the result meets your standards before we wrap up. As a general timeline, an average 2,000-square-foot home usually takes about 1.5 hours to clean.
We work with a 100% satisfaction-guarantee mindset, centered on making customers happy before we leave the job. If you are home when we finish, we offer you the chance to inspect the work with us before we wrap up. If you see anything that needs attention, we can address it before we leave.
If something reasonable is found after the crew has already left, we will go back and take care of it. We are also fully insured, which gives homeowners another layer of reassurance when they hire us for work around the exterior of their home.
There is no separate formal house-washing warranty term. What we do offer is a satisfaction-first approach and a return-if-needed policy when something reasonable was missed.
No. We do not use high pressure to clean homes. We apply a soap solution, let it do the cleaning work, and then rinse carefully at low pressure.
Usually, no. We are equipped to clean up to three stories above the ground on most house-washing jobs, which helps improve safety and efficiency.
An average 2,000-square-foot house wash usually takes about 1.5 hours. The total time still depends on the home and the exterior material being cleaned.
Make sure your water is turned on before we arrive. We also recommend moving vehicles away from tight work areas and letting us know in advance if you have leaking windows or unusual access concerns.
Yes, in most cases. We regularly work in densely populated residential areas, so we are used to planning around tighter layouts, landscaping, and parked vehicles.
Yes. Brick and stucco usually require a stronger soap solution and a soft-wash setup, while vinyl and hardy board require a gentle, low-pressure rinse.
Not usually. Oxidation removal is not generally part of a standard house washing service. House washing is designed to remove dirt and organic buildup from the exterior.
If something reasonable was missed, we will come back and take care of it. We also offer a walkthrough before wrapping up whenever the homeowner is present.
