Exterior cleaning services from Csiszer Property Maintenance, an insured handyman company based in Kearny, NJ, cover pressure washing, house washing, deck cleaning and gutter cleaning for homes, rentals and businesses in Essex County and Union County, NJ. Each surface gets the method it can handle: pressure for concrete and stone, a low-pressure soft wash for siding and a gentle wash for wood. Anything the cleaning uncovers, from a leaking gutter seam to a soft deck board, can go to all exterior repair services, and year-round upkeep lives with all home maintenance services.
We offer six exterior cleaning services, one for each part of the outside that collects dirt, mildew or leaves. Pick the surface you want cleaned.
Patios, walkways, steps and concrete washed to lift dirt, moss and stains.
Vinyl and painted siding soft washed at low pressure to remove mildew safely.
Mildew and gray wood washed off so the deck is ready for stain or sealer.
Gutters cleared and downspouts flushed before fall leaves and winter ice.
Fall leaves raked, bagged in brown paper bags and set at the curb for town pickup.
Garbage and recycling bins washed inside and out, so the smell and pests stay away.
Only the driveway? Driveway pressure washing and oil stain removal is quoted as its own service, for concrete and paver driveways.
Choose by surface, not by machine. Hard surfaces take pressure, siding and wood need a gentler wash, and gutters are cleared by hand before they are flushed.

Get a Free Exterior Cleaning QuoteHomeowners trust us because each surface gets the right pressure, plants are protected, and the damage the wash reveals is fixed by the same team.
Concrete, pavers, stone and wood each get their own pressure and distance, so nothing gets etched.
Vinyl and painted siding get a low-pressure soft wash that doesn't push water behind the panels.
Shrubs and planting beds are wet down and protected before the wash and rinsed again after it.
Rinse water is sent away from the house, the foundation and the planting beds, not toward them.
Loose gutters, soft deck boards or cracked trim found during the wash are photographed and pointed out.
What the wash uncovers can be repaired, primed or stained by the same team, with no second contractor.
Hard surfaces take pressure; siding, wood and older paint do not. Matching the wash to the surface, and the season to the job, is what keeps exterior house cleaning from causing damage.
Pressure washing uses force to remove dirt; soft washing uses low pressure and a longer dwell time. Using force on the wrong surface can strip paint, lift wood fibers or drive water behind siding. Our guide on pressure washing vs soft washing covers each surface.
Mildew grows where siding stays damp: north-facing walls, under big trees and behind shrubs. Spring pollen and fall leaves add a film that holds moisture, so timing each job to the season gets the most out of it.
Spring
Wash off pollen and winter grime from siding and walks.
Early summer
Clean the deck before any stain or sealer goes on.
Late fall
Clear the gutters after most of the leaves have dropped.
Before the freeze
Flush the downspouts so meltwater has a way out.
Most damage from exterior cleaning comes from too much pressure or bad timing, not from dirt. These are the mistakes that show up most often, and what we do instead. For gutter timing, see how often to clean gutters in NJ.
These are the questions homeowners ask most before pressure washing, house washing, deck or gutter cleaning. For general questions, read the handyman FAQ.
It depends on the square footage, the surface, how heavy the stains or mildew are and the height of the house. Send photos or describe the job: if the photos show enough, you get a free written quote; if the job needs a closer look, we visit first, at no charge. Either way, the price is in writing before anything is scheduled. Our pressure washing cost guide explains what changes the price by surface.
No. High pressure can force water behind vinyl siding and strip paint. Siding gets a low-pressure soft wash through our house washing service instead.
Not when the pressure is set for the surface. Concrete, pavers and stone each get their own pressure and distance, so dirt and moss come off without etching the surface.
Newer stains usually lift; old ones may fade but not disappear. Driveways are quoted as their own service, driveway pressure washing and oil stain removal.
No. Plants and beds are wet down and protected before and after the wash, and rinse water is directed away from the house and planting beds.
It depends on the trees around the house. Homes under heavy tree cover often need more than one cleaning a year, usually after most leaves have dropped. Our guide on how often to clean gutters in NJ sets a calendar by tree type.
It's pointed out with a photo. Leaking seams, loose hangers and bad pitch can then be fixed through gutter repair.
Yes. Stain bonds poorly to dirt, mildew and gray wood fibers, so the deck is washed, brightened and left to dry first.
Yes. Cleaning and staining are done by the same team through our deck painting service, so there's no second contractor to schedule.
Yes, it helps. Clean siding, walks and decks look cared for in listing photos and at a showing. Mention your listing or move-in date in the request.
