House Wash & Window Cleaning in Gettysburg, PA: A Fresh Start for a Beautiful Home

Some homes just need a good rinse to bring them back to life. This week, I was in Gettysburg, PA for a full house wash and exterior window cleaning. The siding had a layer of algae that had slowly built up over time, which isn’t unusual for this area. Between the trees, the shade, and the humid weather, it’s a perfect recipe for that green film that sneaks up on homeowners.

I always say, “If you wouldn’t wear the same shirt for ten years, your house probably shouldn’t either.” So we gave this home a well-deserved cleaning, and the difference was night and day.

The Process

It’s just me doing the work, so every project gets my full attention. No rushing, no cutting corners. For this home, I used my soft wash system, which safely removes algae and dirt without damaging the siding or trim. High pressure might sound powerful, but it can cause serious harm to vinyl and paint.

Once the siding was clean, I switched to exterior window cleaning. I like to finish that last so I can catch any overspray or spotting. I use a purified water system that leaves glass streak-free and crystal clear.

The Results

When everything dried, the house looked years younger. The siding was bright again, and the windows sparkled in the sunlight. You could feel the homeowner’s relief when they stepped outside and saw the transformation.

That part never gets old for me.

Why It Matters

Clean siding isn’t just about looks. Algae, mildew, and dirt can hold moisture against your home, which slowly breaks down paint, vinyl, and caulking. Keeping it clean helps protect your investment and saves money in the long run. Plus, it just feels good to come home to a clean, well-kept exterior.

And since I’m a one-man operation, you’ll always know exactly who’s showing up. No big crews, no confusion, just me—EJ with Fore’s Home Services.
