Humid summers grow algae and mildew on north-facing vinyl siding, and on the driveways, walkways, and back patios of the newer homes around town. Many of those homes back right up to a tree line, so the rear siding and decks stay shaded, slow to dry, and prone to mildew. Our team at T&T Powerwash cleans siding, decks, and driveways all over Clayton. Whether you’re in one of the older homes off Main Street or out in Old Country Farms, give us a call at (302) 415-3285.
Most of what we clean here is homes, and we take on commercial properties too. The standards stay the same; only the scheduling changes.
Vinyl siding covers most houses here, from colonials and ranches to the newer townhomes. The older homes in the center of town are brick and painted wood. We soft wash all of them with a mix matched to the material.
A soft wash covers the whole house at once, so we don’t take single-wall jobs, and if a stain won’t lift, we’ll say so plainly. Most homeowners here book a spring house, deck, and driveway wash, then a fall concrete pass once the leaves drop. Lots that back to the woods need gutters done twice a year.
We can handle properties such as quick-service drive-throughs, retail strip centers, apartment complexes, HOA community buildings, and new commercial builds.
Commercial jobs start with a site walk and a budget talk so the worst areas come first. You get a line-item quote, usually within hours, plus our COI and W-9 on request, and we accept net 30.
Customers keep telling us the same few things, and they’re the standards we hold ourselves to.
Responsiveness and communication are the two words that show up most in our Google reviews. When you call, you reach the people who will quote and schedule your job. Your quote comes by text, and if we’re running behind, you’ll hear it from us before you have to ask.
Our Google reviews outnumber nearly any exterior cleaning company’s in Delaware. Each one came from a single job done right, for homeowners and business owners we got to know along the way.
Two friends started this company in 2021 with a pressure washer they built themselves from about a hundred dollars in parts. We’re a hometown outfit, and we treat every property in Clayton the way we’d treat one in our own backyard.
The cleaning comes from a mild SH (sodium hypochlorite) mix, not from pressure. We protect your plants before and after, and on roofs we bag the gutters and rinse the shingles the way ARMA guidelines call for. That matters because pressure leaves marks on older, chalky vinyl. It also matters because chemical left sitting on shingles ends up in your flower beds after the next rain.
Estimates are free, and we can work up most of them from your address and a couple of photos. We carry general liability, workers’ compensation, and commercial auto coverage. Our technicians arrive in uniform, in a branded truck.
We clean restaurants, drive-throughs, storefronts, and parking lots overnight, working around your traffic, so you never shut the doors to get clean. That protects the day’s sales, and not many companies our size will take it on.
Most homeowners start with a house wash, so here’s how one goes. Every other service books the same way.
Call, text, or fill out the form and tell us about the house and what you’d like cleaned. Your quote arrives as a Housecall Pro link, and once you approve it, we text you a couple of dates.
About three days out, we text our Six Steps to Success checklist. It covers moving small items, latching windows, switching off outdoor lights, and turning on spigots. We’ll move anything heavy. Since every visit carries a minimum, adding the walkway or fence now costs far less than bringing us back. First jobs start at 9 AM; later slots get a two-hour window.
Our lead technician walks the property for problem areas, with you or from your checklist. The second technician hooks up to your spigots and checks the windows. A whole house wash uses about $10 of water.
Plants and landscaping get a rinse first. Then our soft-wash system applies SH with surfactant to the siding, windows, and trim. We let it sit long enough to break down algae, dirt, and mildew. On Clayton homes backing to a tree line, the shaded rear siding usually holds the heaviest mildew and gets the same low-pressure treatment.
We rinse the siding, windows, and trim thoroughly, then give your plants a second rinse. Landscaping stays protected through rinsing, dilution, and plant neutralizer rather than covers.
We walk the house with you and handle anything you notice on the spot. Most homes take 45 minutes to two hours. Pay on site or by invoice link, and we’ll check in later about your next cleaning.
Homes are quoted job by job, and commercial properties after a site walk.

Several services in one trip always cost less than separate visits. A roof cleaning booked with a house wash saves about 10%, or $150 to $200. A set 6- or 12-month schedule earns a discount, and every roof cleaning includes a free gutter inspection. When our schedule has room, combo jobs can run about 10% off.
One promise covers every job we do, and six services carry a guarantee of their own.
If something isn’t right, tell us, on the day or three days later. We’ll come back out, look at it with you, and make it right where cleaning can. Pavers are the one exception, since root and erosion problems can hide beneath them.
If we clean your roof, it stays clean for two years. Asphalt, cedar, tile, or metal. That’s our guarantee.
Your panels come out spot-free, guaranteed. Pure deionized water, a soft boar’s-hair brush, nothing else.
We test a spot first. If our strongest rust remover can’t make a difference, we don’t charge you for the rust removal.
We back our graffiti removal with a satisfaction guarantee. Most graffiti comes off completely on nearly every job. If an earlier crew already damaged the surface, we’ll tell you upfront what can come back.
Awnings come out clean without affecting the look or color of the fabric. Torn fabric gets cleaned around, never made worse.
We guarantee the area will be ready for use when we’re done. Dust, dirt, mud, and debris cleared.
Clayton started as a railroad town, and a compact older core still sits around the restored depot while newer neighborhoods spread out around it. We look after the brick and painted-wood homes near the center and the vinyl-sided subdivisions with the same care. The middle of town still gathers around the old station and Main Street:
Clayton Railroad Station, the restored red-brick depot on South Bassett Street
Clayton Town Hall on Main Street
From the older homes downtown to the Grain Mill Station townhomes and Old Country Farms, we’d be glad to be your crew.
Estimates cost nothing, and simple jobs often get priced right there on the call. We answer the phones 8 AM to 4 PM, Monday through Friday, and you can text or use the form anytime. Whether it’s a townhome in Grain Mill Station or a storefront that needs a night crew, call (302) 415-3285.
