Pressure Washing in Windham, ME

Pressure washing in Windham, ME comes with a responsibility most towns do not have. Windham borders Sebago Lake, the primary water supply for the Portland Water District, which draws about 24 million gallons a day from it and serves Greater Portland, around 20 percent of Maine's population. What runs off a lakeside deck or driveway does not just disappear. So for Windham jobs, controlling where water and cleaners go is as important as how clean the siding gets.

How we wash near the water

• We use the least cleaning product that works and mix it carefully, rather than flooding surfaces
• Rinse water is directed onto lawn, gravel or vegetated areas where it can soak in, not down a slope toward the shore
• Debris loosened from decks and docks is swept and bagged instead of washed into the water
• On waterfront lots we keep the work area set back from the shoreline and avoid washing directly over the lake
• We ask about wells and septic systems so we can keep runoff away from them too

Camps, year-round homes and newer builds

Windham's housing ranges from lake camps to year-round homes to newer subdivisions in North Windham and South Windham. The town grew from 14,904 residents in 2000 to 18,434 in 2020, and the Census estimates 19,912 in 2025. Older camps often have stained wood siding or log exteriors that need a gentle wash before re-staining, while newer homes usually have vinyl that clears up with a low-pressure soft wash. Shaded lots surrounded by pines see a lot of pollen, sap and mildew.

Docks, decks and boathouses

Lakefront decks and docks take sun, water and leaves all season. Wood docks grow algae and get slippery. We clean wood at low pressure so the grain is not torn up and the boards can dry for stain or sealer. Dock cleaning is scheduled with your water access in mind, and we keep cleaners off any surface that drains straight into the lake.

Roofs under the pines

Moss and black streaks on roofs are common under tall trees. We soft wash roofs rather than pressure washing them, because high pressure strips granules from asphalt shingles. On lakefront roofs we pay extra attention to where gutters and downspouts discharge so treated runoff does not head toward the shore.

Driveways and walkways

Gravel, paved and concrete driveways all pick up winter sand and salt. For concrete walks and patios we use a surface cleaner that gives an even finish. Where a driveway slopes toward a pond or stream, we contain and redirect the rinse so it soaks into the ground first.

Year-round and seasonal owners

Windham residents tend to stay put: about 84.6% of homes are owner-occupied, and 93.6% of residents lived in the same house a year earlier, by Census estimates. If you are away for part of the year, we can quote work you approve by photo and schedule it for when you are back, or when the camp opens for the season. Our working season ends with the frost, so early booking helps.
