Leonardo House Washing & Pool Deck Restoration: Safe Siding Sanitation and Non-Slip Concrete Cleaning

Above & Beyond Softwash recently completed a Professional Soft Wash House Cleaning in Leonardo, New Jersey, in Monmouth County. This two-story home showed the common coastal issues we see here, namely green algae buildup on vinyl siding and a chalky, faded look caused by oxidation. The scope of work focused on a safe, low-pressure sanitation to remove organic growth, plus window and concrete cleaning to restore appearance and safety.

Before starting, we walked the homeowner through what oxidation is, and how it differs from mold and algae. If the siding leaves a white, powdery residue when you run your finger across it, that is oxidation. It is a chemical breakdown of the vinyl from UV exposure. We explained that a standard soft wash will sterilize and remove mold and algae, but it will not remove the chalky oxidation layer.

Because the homeowner preferred not to pursue full restoration at this visit, we performed a professional soft wash designed to safely kill the organics without disturbing the oxidized surface. We emphasized that using high pressure on oxidized siding can cause permanent streaking and uneven patches, so we avoided blasting the siding and relied on low-pressure, professional cleaning methods instead.

After sanitizing the siding, we moved to Exterior Window Cleaning. The windows had a salt film from the nearby water, plus residue from the cleaning process. We rinsed each glass surface to remove the film and the cleaning solution, leaving a clear, streak-free finish for better views and more natural light inside the home.

The final phase of the job focused on the home’s concrete surfaces, starting with the pool deck. In coastal towns like Leonardo, algae can make pool surrounds dangerously slick. We used a professional surface cleaner to deep-clean the concrete pores, stripping away black stains and the slippery film. The cleaning restored the concrete’s gritty texture, which is essential for non-slip safety around the pool.

We finished by refreshing the front stairs, removing dirt and organic buildup so the home’s entrance was both cleaner and safer for guests. The homeowner appreciated the attention to safety and the care taken to avoid damaging the siding while still addressing the visible mold and algae.

For homeowners in Leonardo and other coastal parts of Monmouth County, we recommend an annual soft wash. Regular cleaning prevents mold from eating into siding and keeps concrete from becoming a liability. A yearly schedule helps stay ahead of the humidity and salt air that drive these issues.

If your siding is looking faded or chalky, ask about our Specialized Oxidation Removal Service. That is a separate, technical restoration process that can return original color without replacing siding. For routine maintenance and immediate safety concerns, a professional soft wash, plus window and concrete cleaning, is the right approach.

Above & Beyond Softwash is available to inspect siding conditions and recommend whether a soft wash or the Oxidation Removal Service is the best next step for your Leonardo, New Jersey home. We focus on safe methods that protect your surfaces while improving appearance and safety.
