Power Washing in Levittown, NY
Merrick’s #1 Exterior Power Washing serves Levittown homeowners with professional roof, siding, driveway, and paver cleaning. Levittown’s iconic mid-century housing stock, from the original Capes and ranches to the dormered and expanded versions, shares a common reality: 70-plus years of weather, pollen, and bay-driven humidity have built up on every exterior surface in town.
Whether your home is an original Levitt Cape, a 1950s ranch on Twig Lane or Bluebird Road, or a renovated property near Levittown Memorial High School, our crew matches the right pressure, detergent, and method to your specific home.
Professional Power Washing in Levittown
At Merrick’s #1 Exterior Power Washing, we specialize in deep-cleaning the surfaces that define curb appeal across Levittown. Levittown has the most uniform housing stock on Long Island, which means the cleaning challenges are also uniform. Asbestos-cement siding on original homes that were never re-sided. Vinyl re-clads from the 1980s and 1990s that have lost flexibility. Asphalt roofs that have seen one or two replacement cycles, often without ever being soft washed.
Each substrate needs a specific approach, and using the wrong pressure or detergent does damage that costs thousands to repair. Our crew works Levittown weekly, which means we know which streets have which construction patterns, which roofs are likely on a second or third life cycle, and which substrates need the lightest touch. Pressure matched to substrate, not the other way around.
Why Residents of Levittown Choose Merrick's #1 Exterior Power Washing
Levittown’s tight street grid and identical lot sizes mean every house is visible to every neighbor. A streaked roof or green siding is impossible to hide. At the same time, Levittown homeowners are pragmatic about cost. They want the work done right and they want a fair price. We deliver both. Our pricing is flat-rate, written, and we do not pad the quote with services you do not need.
The Levittown Advantage
Localized Knowledge: From the original sections around Hempstead Turnpike to the later expansions north of Newbridge Road and the streets off Wantagh Avenue, we know the building stock and contamination profile of each pocket of Levittown.
Precision Equipment: Soft wash rigs that protect older asbestos-cement and aged vinyl, hot water units for concrete driveways, and surface cleaners for pavers and patios.
Environmental Awareness: We use biodegradable detergents, contain runoff during driveway and paver work, and protect landscaping during every soft wash. Levittown’s older sewer infrastructure means runoff control matters.
What Our Customers Say
Benefits of Professional Power Washing in Levittown
A professional clean on your Levittown home returns value in several specific ways:
Restores curb appeal in a tight visual grid: Levittown blocks are visually uniform. A clean home stands out positively. A dirty home stands out negatively. There is no in between.
Removes oil stains, tire marks, and rust from driveways: Many Levittown driveways are 50-plus years old. Surface cleaning lifts decades of staining without etching the concrete.
Prevents siding replacement: Vinyl rated for 30 years gets replaced at 15 because mildew is never properly cleaned. Annual or biannual washing extends life to the rated lifespan.
Reduces slip-and-fall risk: Algae on walkways, stoops, and porches in Levittown is the leading cause of homeowner slip claims. Removing it is a safety improvement.
Extends roof life on older shingles: Many Levittown roofs are nearing the end of their second life cycle. Soft washing every 3 to 5 years buys real years of additional service before replacement.
Our Power Washing Process in Levittown
Every Levittown, NY job runs through the same proven five-step process:
Property Walk-Around: We identify your specific home type, the substrate, problem areas, plant material, and any older components like asbestos-cement siding that need extra care.
Surface and Landscape Prep: Plants and shrubs are pre-soaked. Outlets, fixtures, and AC condensers are taped or covered. Outdoor furniture and grills are moved or covered.
Calibrated Cleaning: Roofs and siding get soft washed at under 500 PSI. Driveways and walkways get high-pressure surface cleaning. Decks and fences get controlled mid-pressure with appropriate detergent.
Final Walkthrough: We walk the property with you and confirm every surface meets the standard before we pack up.
Optional Sealing: For Levittown pavers, walkways, and pool decks, we offer wet-look or natural-finish sealants that lock out staining and joint sand displacement for 2 to 3 years.

Frequently Asked Questions About Power Washing in Levittown, NY
Yes, with the right approach. Many original Levittown Capes still have intact asbestos-cement siding, which is safe as long as it is not disturbed mechanically. We never use high pressure on asbestos-cement siding because high pressure can chip or break the panels. Soft washing at under 500 PSI with a sodium hypochlorite detergent kills the mildew and lifts the staining without disturbing the panels themselves. This is the only safe way to clean original Levittown asbestos siding. Removing or replacing the siding is a regulated abatement project and should not be confused with cleaning.
Most Levittown ranches and Capes fall between $400 and $750 for a full exterior soft wash. A standard ranch with single-story siding, a small driveway, and a back patio usually runs $450 to $600. A dormered Cape or a hi-ranch with additional surface area runs $600 to $800. Larger expanded homes or properties with significant pavers or pool decks may run higher. Pricing is flat-rate, written before we start, and there are no surprise charges on completion.
Most Levittown roofs need soft washing every 3 to 5 years. The biggest variable is tree coverage. Streets with mature trees on the north side of homes see faster gloeocapsa magma return. More open lots toward the original Levitt sections often hold the result longer. Roofs that are already 15-plus years old get the most benefit from soft washing because it extends remaining shingle life. We do not push annual roof cleaning. We tell you when the streaks are returning and a re-treatment is genuinely needed.
No. Older single-pane and aluminum-frame windows common on original Levittown homes are protected during every soft wash. We use low pressure that cannot break window seals, and we keep the spray angle off the window plane. We tape any window with visibly compromised seals before applying solution. After the wash, we squeegee or rinse windows clean as part of the standard service. If your windows have screens, we can remove and rinse them on-site or leave them for you to handle.
Most Levittown driveways respond very well to professional surface cleaning. A 50-year-old concrete driveway in Levittown that has never been professionally cleaned typically lifts 15 to 20 shades lighter after a hot water surface clean. Old oil stains, tire marks, and rust may need a pre-treatment with degreaser or rust remover, but most stains come out completely. Driveways that have been resurfaced or have severe spalling may not return to a uniform finish, and we will tell you that honestly before we start the job.
Yes. We work with landlords and property managers handling multi-family and rental properties throughout Levittown. We coordinate with tenants on access and timing, and we send a single invoice to the property owner or management company. Pre-rental and turnover cleans are common services we provide. We also handle exterior cleaning as part of a routine maintenance schedule for landlords who want to maintain property values across multiple Levittown rentals. Insurance certificates can be addressed directly to the property management firm.
Those streaks are oxidation runoff from the gutters themselves, mixed with dirt and pollen carried by rainwater off the roof. They concentrate where water sheets most heavily, usually under downspouts and along the gutter line. A soft wash with the right detergent removes them completely. The fix lasts longer if the gutters are also cleaned and any oxidation on the gutter exterior is addressed during the same visit. We offer a combined gutter cleaning and house wash that targets exactly this problem and gets cleaner, longer-lasting results than either service alone.
Light rain does not stop the work and often actually helps with detergent rinsing. Heavy rain or thunderstorms cause us to reschedule because runoff control becomes difficult and worker safety on ladders is a concern. We monitor the forecast for every Levittown job and call you the day before if a reschedule is needed. There is no cancellation fee for weather. We typically reschedule to the next available day that works for you, often within the same week.
