WHY ATHERTON
MATTERS.

Atherton sets its own standard. The properties here — multi-acre estates, mature canopy, terracotta tile roofs — require a contractor who knows the difference between a pressure washer and a soft-wash rig. We work Atherton regularly: West Atherton's wooded estate compounds, Lindenwood's gated homes, Holbrook-Palmer Park-adjacent properties, and the East Atherton corridors along Fair Oaks and Selby. Different footprints, same exacting standard.

> What Atherton properties need most

Tile roof soft-washing. Atherton's estate homes sit under heavy oak, bay laurel, and eucalyptus canopy — and that canopy deposits organic debris year-round onto clay and terracotta tile roofs. The only correct cleaning method is low-pressure soft washing with a biodegradable algaecide. High-pressure washing cracks and displaces tile, voids manufacturer warranties, and causes the kind of damage that doesn't show up until the next rain season. We soft-wash every Atherton roof — no exceptions.

Gutter cleaning and guard installation. Atherton's mature canopy produces one of the highest gutter debris loads in San Mateo County. Oak acorns, bay leaves, and eucalyptus bark fill gutters faster than almost anywhere else we work. Most Atherton properties need two to three cleanings per year minimum, and gutter guards are a sound investment — they pay for themselves within two seasons for canopy-heavy properties.

Driveway and motor court pressure washing. Atherton's sealed concrete and paver motor courts hold their value when cleaned and re-sealed on a regular cycle. We pressure wash to remove oil, tire marks, and organic staining, then apply a penetrating sealer that protects against UV fade, water intrusion, and future staining for two to three years.

QUESTIONS

Straight answers for Atherton property owners. Don't see yours? Call or text (408) 598-1857.

Do you serve all of Atherton?

Yes — West Atherton, East Atherton, Lindenwood, Holbrook-Palmer, Stockfarm Road, Fair Oaks Lane, and everywhere in between. ZIP 94027 is our full standard zone with no trip fees.

Can you soft-wash a Spanish or terracotta tile roof in Atherton?

Yes — and it's the only correct method. Tile roofs accumulate algae and moss from the surrounding tree canopy. We use low-pressure soft washing with a biodegradable algaecide that kills growth at the biological level without cracking or displacing tile. High-pressure washing shatters terracotta tile and voids most roofing warranties.

How often should Atherton gutters be cleaned?

Twice a year minimum — once in late fall after the heaviest debris drop, once in early spring. Properties under dense oak, bay, and eucalyptus canopy often need three cleanings per year. Clogged gutters in Atherton's older drainage systems cause fascia rot and foundation saturation quickly.

Do you offer gutter guard installation in Atherton?

Yes. With the volume of oak acorns, bay leaves, and eucalyptus bark that comes off Atherton's mature canopy, gutter guards pay for themselves in eliminated seasonal cleanings within two to three years.

Can you clean solar panels on an Atherton estate?

Yes. We use deionized water and soft brushes — no soap residue, no streaks, no warranty issues. Atherton solar panels under heavy tree canopy accumulate pollen and bird droppings faster than open-exposure properties. All major installers and panel types.

What is the difference between pressure washing and soft washing?

Pressure washing uses high-pressure water (1,500–3,000+ PSI) for hard surfaces like concrete and brick. Soft washing uses low pressure under 500 PSI with biodegradable cleaning solutions — the correct method for stucco, wood siding, painted surfaces, and all roofing materials. We assess every property before selecting a method.

Can you pressure wash and seal an Atherton driveway or motor court?

Yes. We pressure wash to remove oil stains, tire marks, and grime, then apply a penetrating sealer that protects against water intrusion, UV fade, and future staining. Most Atherton driveways benefit from resealing every two to three years.

Do you wash exterior siding and stucco on Atherton homes?

Yes — soft washing is the correct method for stucco and painted wood siding. Under 500 PSI with a biodegradable surfactant lifts mildew, algae, and grime without stripping paint or damaging stucco surfaces.

Are you licensed and insured for work in Atherton?

Yes. Bull Run Exterior Wash LLC is fully licensed and carries general liability insurance on every job. Your property is covered.

Do you do background checks?

Bull Run Exterior Wash is owner-operated — you get the same person every time, not a rotating crew. There are no subcontractors on our jobs.

Can you wash and stain an Atherton wood fence or gate?

Yes. We soft-wash the fence to remove mildew and grime, let it fully dry, then apply a penetrating stain and sealer that restores the natural wood tone and protects against UV graying and moisture.

Do you handle guest houses, pool houses, and outbuildings on Atherton estates?

Yes — all structures on the property. Pool houses, garages, workshops, guest quarters, carriage houses, and any other outbuildings are in scope. We treat the entire estate as one job.

How fast can you schedule a free estimate in Atherton?

We're in San Mateo County regularly and most Atherton estimates happen within 24–48 hours of your call. Call or text (408) 598-1857.
