Schmidt Painting · Serving Syosset, Nassau & Suffolk
Soft Washing on Long Island
Green film on the north side of the house, black streaks on the roof, gray decks — Long Island humidity feeds it all. We use gentle soft washing: low pressure and the right detergents, so cedar, vinyl, brick and roofing come clean without the damage high-pressure blasting can do. As a standalone cleaning, or as prep before exterior painting.
What's Included
Four decades of experience, the same supervised crew, on every kind of Long Island home.

Black streaks and moss removed safely, without damaging shingles.

Exterior gutter surfaces brightened and streaks removed.
Decks, Patios & Walkways
Wood, pavers and concrete cleaned and ready to enjoy — or ready for stain.
Fences
Wood and vinyl fencing washed clean, season after season.
Pre-Paint Prep Washes
The right wash before exterior painting, so the new coat bonds and lasts. Acid washing available.
Common Questions
Straight answers, the same as you'd get on the phone.
What is soft washing, and why is it better than high pressure?
High-pressure washing can gouge wood, strip paint and force water behind siding. Soft washing uses low pressure and lets the detergents do the work — safe for siding, roofs and painted surfaces, with results that last longer.
Will washing hurt my plants or lawn?
No — we wet down and rinse landscaping before and after washing and apply products responsibly.
How often should I have my house washed?
Most Long Island homes look best washed every year or two. Shaded, north-facing walls and roofs under trees may need it a little more often.
