Questions? I've got answers.

Fill out the quote form with a few photos, or call or text (360) 888-4718. Photos let me price most jobs quickly. For bigger jobs I'll come out and look.

Yes. Always free, no obligation.

I run every job myself. On bigger jobs I sometimes bring a helper I trust, and I'm the one you deal with from the quote to the cleanup.

Yes. Smart Exterior Care LLC is licensed and insured, and I can send a certificate of insurance if you need one.

Usually not. I need access to the areas being cleaned and an outdoor water spigot, and I'll check in by phone or text.

Bellingham and Whatcom County, down through Burlington, Sedro-Woolley and Mount Vernon on the mainland. I don't take island or Canada jobs.

No. Roofs get a low-pressure soft wash so the shingles aren't damaged. Pressure washing is for concrete, decks and other hard surfaces.

Eventually, this is the Northwest. Zinc treatment slows it down a lot, and keeping trees trimmed back helps too.

Yes. Soft washing uses low pressure, so it doesn't strip granules the way a pressure washer does.

I do zinc sulfate powder treatments on most jobs. Strip installs take more time and I quote them separately.

No. Soft washing is gentle on sound paint. If paint is already peeling, washing will show it, and I'll point it out before I start.

Most single-family homes take a few hours, depending on size, height and how much growth there is.

Yes, with the right prep. I pre-wet plants, rinse afterward, and ask that pets stay inside while I work.

Yes. Taller homes take more setup and are priced for it, but I do them.

Not usually. As long as I can reach the property and you're reachable by phone, I can get it done.

I'll point out problems I find, like loose hangers or leaking seams. Bigger repairs I'll refer to a gutter company.

Under evergreens, twice a year: late fall and spring. Homes without trees overhead can usually do once a year.

Not at the right pressure. I wash wood far gentler than concrete to avoid splintering.

Washing lightens most stains. Old oil soaked deep into concrete may not come out completely, and I'll tell you up front.

Yes, I hook up to an outside spigot. Let me know if yours doesn't work.

Light rain is fine for most jobs. Roof work gets rescheduled when it's icy or wet enough to be unsafe.

Gutters: late fall. Roofs: late summer through spring when it's safe to walk. House washing: spring and early fall. The fall schedule fills up first.
