House Washing in North Wolfeboro, NH, Lichen Removal on Historic Siding

This house washing project was completed on a residential property in North Wolfeboro, NH and focused on removing heavy lichen buildup from the home’s exterior siding. Over time, the shaded areas of the house had developed significant organic growth, creating a dull, weathered appearance and allowing moisture to remain trapped against the surface.

Prior to our visit, the homeowner had recently removed several large trees that were creating excessive shade and contributing to prolonged moisture retention around the structure. While this was an important step in improving airflow and sunlight exposure, the existing lichen, algae, and organic staining still required professional treatment to fully restore the appearance of the home.

Our team performed a detailed house washing service using a low-pressure soft wash method specifically designed for painted and wood siding. No high pressure was used. Instead, specialized cleaning solutions were applied to safely break down lichen and organic growth at the surface level, allowing it to release without damaging the siding or underlying materials.

The result is a noticeably brighter, cleaner exterior with the natural character of the home preserved. This North Wolfeboro, NH house washing project highlights how proper exterior cleaning not only improves curb appeal, but also protects siding from long-term moisture-related wear.
