If you’re a homeowner, you know how important curb appeal is—but it’s not just about looking good. When moss and algae start to take over your vinyl or aluminum siding, it’s more than just an eyesore. These unwelcome growths can cause long-term damage to your home’s exterior, reduce property value, and even impact your health.




Here’s why taking action now to remove moss and algae is critical—and why trusting a professional exterior cleaning service like ours is your smartest move.
1. Moss and Algae Damage Your Siding Over Time
Algae might look like a simple green stain, and moss can seem harmless and even quaint—but both are more destructive than they appear.
- Algae, especially in humid or shaded areas, can embed itself in siding surfaces and slowly degrade the material, leading to premature aging.
- Moss retains moisture, which creates the perfect breeding ground for mold and mildew—and moisture is siding’s worst enemy.
Left unchecked, these organisms can cause warping, cracking, and permanent staining, which may lead to expensive repairs or full siding replacement.
2. A Clean Exterior Increases Your Home’s Value and Appeal
If you’re thinking about selling—or just want to take pride in your home—a spotless exterior makes a world of difference. Dirty, algae-covered siding gives the impression of neglect, even if the inside is pristine.
Professional siding cleaning instantly boosts curb appeal and signals that your home is well-maintained. It’s one of the most affordable ways to enhance property value.
3. Health and Safety Risks You Might Not See
Where there’s moss and algae, there’s often mold—and that can pose a health risk, especially for those with allergies or respiratory issues.
Not to mention, moss near entrances or on steps can be slippery when wet, creating a slip hazard for your family and guests.
4. DIY Isn’t Always the Best Idea
Power washing on your own might seem like a good weekend project, but if done incorrectly, it can:
- Damage siding with too much pressure
- Void your siding warranty
- Fail to completely remove spores—meaning the moss and algae will come right back
Our team uses industry-proven, gentle-yet-effective soft washing techniques that not only clean thoroughly but also prevent regrowth.
5. Protect Your Investment with Routine Maintenance
Your home is likely your biggest investment—protecting it should be a top priority. Scheduling regular cleanings keeps your siding in excellent condition and avoids bigger headaches down the road.
Plus, it’s far less expensive than repair or replacement.
