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.
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.

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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
