(I normally did it all every year myself, but do to physical problems I can no longer handle it) We have a rubber compound on our large back patio ..... it as never been so clean !!!!!!!!...... and of course ..the rest of the property looks absolutely great as well !!!!! He comes well equipped, uses environmentally friendly cleaning solutions, is timely, professional and caring. Thank you Jacob for such a GREAT JOB.!!!!!! I would recommend him 100%. Actually, had I known about him before, I would have hired him, rather than go through all this myself every year for what it cost :) You wont be disappointed........ Guaranteed !!!!

Jake from X-Wash provided great service for me. My deck was stained, UV bleached and looking rather tired. He came on time, explained the process thoroughly and completed the work as agreed upon. Now I feel proud to host a gathering at my home because my deck looks fresh. I would highly recommend X-Wash services to all of my friends and family. Great Job!

More Than Just a Clean Roof — It’s Long-Term Protection
A clean cedar roof doesn’t just look good – it performs better. When left untreated, moss and algae can trap moisture between the shakes, leading to wood rot, shingle lift, and eventual water intrusion. Our cedar roof cleaning process removes this buildup at the source, promoting faster drying and reducing the risk of long-term damage. Even if your roof appears fine from the ground, there may be organic growth already beginning to degrade its surface. Taking a proactive approach to cedar shake cleaning helps avoid emergency repairs down the road and adds years to your roof’s life.
