Soft washing is the right way to clean most home exteriors. High pressure can damage siding, strip paint, and force water into places it should never go. We use a low-pressure wash with the right cleaning solution to remove dirt, algae, and mildew without harming your home. The result is a clean that lasts longer than a standard pressure wash.

Driveways take a beating — oil stains, tire marks, algae growth, and years of grime build up fast. We use commercial-grade pressure washing equipment to blast through surface buildup and restore the look of your concrete or pavers. It makes a bigger difference than most people expect. Neighbors will notice.

Wood decks and concrete patios collect mold, mildew, and dark staining over time — especially with Long Island's humidity. We clean them thoroughly without damaging the surface so they're safe, presentable, and ready to use again. Whether you're prepping for a sealant or just want it looking right, we get it done properly.

Those black streaks on your roof are not just cosmetic — they're algae, and they shorten your roof's lifespan. We use a soft wash method approved by most roofing manufacturers to safely remove algae, moss, and staining without voiding your warranty or damaging shingles. It's one of the most overlooked maintenance jobs on any home.

Fences and exterior walls collect green algae, dirt, and oxidation that regular rain just doesn't wash off. We clean vinyl, wood, and masonry surfaces to restore their original appearance. It's a quick job that makes a big visual difference, especially if you're preparing your property for sale or just want to keep it looking maintained.

Storefronts, parking lots, and commercial properties need regular cleaning to make the right first impression. We work with local businesses in Centereach and the surrounding areas to keep their exteriors clean and professional-looking. Commercial jobs are scheduled around your business hours so there's no interruption to your operations.

Boats left exposed over the winter take serious damage from weather, UV rays, and moisture. We shrink wrap boats and marine equipment to protect them through the off-season. It's a tight, professional seal that keeps the elements out so your boat is in the same condition in spring as when you stored it.

Shrink wrapping is not just for boats. We wrap outdoor furniture, equipment, and other large items that need protection through the colder months. If you have something valuable sitting outside this winter, a proper shrink wrap is the most reliable way to protect it from damage.

Pavers and bluestone surfaces look incredible when clean — and get dull fast when they're not. We remove the moss, algae, and soil buildup that collects in the joints and on the surface. Regular cleaning also helps extend the life of the stone and prevents slippery surfaces that can be a safety issue.

Tom Dunne started Clean Homes Powerwashing because he genuinely enjoys the work. That might sound simple, but it makes a real difference. When someone cares about what they do, the results show. Tom handles every job personally — no subcontractors, no crews you've never met. You get the same guy every time, and he holds the work to a standard he's proud of.
Most companies move fast and move on. We don't work that way. Every job gets cleaned the way we'd want our own property cleaned — not just good enough to collect payment and leave. Tom inspects the work before calling it done. If something doesn't meet the mark, it gets redone. That's the standard we hold ourselves to on every property in Centereach and across Long Island.

Tom handles every job personally. There are no subcontractors, no rotating crews, and no surprises. When you book with Clean Homes Powerwashing, you know exactly who is showing up and what level of work to expect. That consistency is something most companies in this area simply cannot offer.
The job is not done until it looks right. Tom checks the work himself before wrapping up, and if something needs more attention, it gets it. This approach means fewer callbacks, fewer complaints, and more homeowners who actually refer us to their neighbors in Centereach, Selden, and Ronkonkoma.
Not every surface should be hit with high pressure. We match the cleaning method to the surface — soft wash for roofs and siding, pressure wash for driveways and pavers. Using the wrong method can cause real damage, and we've seen what that looks like. We keep it appropriate every time.
Home projects don't always happen on a 9-to-5 schedule. Tom is available by call any time, and he works with your schedule to get the job booked and completed without a long wait. Long Island homeowners shouldn't have to chase down a contractor just to get an estimate.
The cost depends on the size of the surface and the type of cleaning needed. A driveway wash is typically less than a full house soft wash, and add-ons like deck or fence cleaning affect the total. The best way to get an accurate number is to call Tom directly at (866) 588-9324 for a free estimate on your specific property. Prices are straightforward — no hidden fees.
Pressure washing uses high-force water to blast debris off hard surfaces like concrete and pavers. Soft washing uses low pressure combined with a cleaning solution to safely treat more delicate surfaces like vinyl siding, stucco, and roof shingles. Using high pressure on the wrong surface can cause serious damage. At Clean Homes Powerwashing, we use the right method for each surface every time.
Yes — but we don't use a pressure washer on roofs. We use a soft wash method with a low-pressure application and a cleaning solution that kills algae and moss at the root. This is the method recommended by most roofing manufacturers and does not void roof warranties. High-pressure washing on shingles can cause granule loss and premature wear, which is why we avoid it entirely.
Results vary based on your property's exposure to shade, moisture, and surrounding trees, but most exterior surfaces stay clean for one to two years with a proper wash. Roofs treated with soft washing typically stay clean longer because the solution continues working after the job is done. Regular maintenance washes keep your property looking its best year-round and prevent buildup from returning quickly.
Yes. We provide boat and marine shrink wrapping for the winter season across Centereach, Ronkonkoma, Lake Grove, and surrounding Long Island areas. Shrink wrapping protects your boat from moisture, UV rays, and weather damage during the off-season. Tom handles the wrapping personally to make sure the seal is tight and your boat comes out of storage in the same condition it went in.
Power washing significantly improves the appearance of oil-stained concrete, and in many cases removes the stain entirely depending on how old and how deep it is. Fresh stains respond better than older, set-in ones. For stubborn stains, we use a degreaser solution before pressure washing to help break down the oil before the wash. Tom can give you a realistic expectation during the estimate visit.

Yes. Paver and bluestone cleaning is one of the services we offer throughout Centereach, Selden, Lake Grove, and the surrounding areas. These surfaces accumulate moss, algae, and soil in the joints that regular weather just doesn't clear out. We clean them without damaging the stone or disturbing the joint sand. It's a job that dramatically improves curb appeal and extends the life of the surface.
