A lot of Hockessin homes sit on rolling, wooded lots, where the canopy keeps the shaded north and rear siding green with algae and mildew. The same shade hangs over the walks, so they turn green right along with the house. Here at T&T Powerwash, our team treats that growth with a soft wash instead of pressure. We clean the outside of these properties from the siding down to the driveway. If the back of your house has gone green, in Lantana or past the village center, call us at (302) 415-3285.
Most of our work in town is on homes, with a steady commercial side alongside it. The same crew handles every service below.
The bigger custom homes here pair brick, stucco, and wood siding, often on one house, while Lantana leans toward vinyl and brick. We treat Hardie board and metal siding too, and the big lots usually bring long driveways, patios, and pool decks.
Most homes need a house wash once a year, sooner on sides that sit in heavy shade. Wooded lots need gutters twice a year, after the leaves fall and in early spring, and a cleaned roof usually stays clean four to five years.
We can handle commercial properties such as the grocery-anchored lot at Lantana Square or the shops and restaurants at Hockessin Crossing Shopping Center. Smaller village-center buildings, apartment properties, and HOA common areas are on the list too.
Every commercial job starts with a site walk, a budget conversation, and a line-item quote. We schedule around your hours and traffic, send a COI and W-9 on request, and accept net 30.
Two things set our work apart: how we treat everything around the job, and when we show up for businesses.
We clean with SH (sodium hypochlorite) and the right mix for each surface, not by turning up the pressure. Your plants are looked after before and after every treatment. On roofs, we bag the gutters to catch the runoff and rinse the shingles the way ARMA guidelines call for. Anyone can spray SH on a roof, but protecting what’s around it is the real work. That’s how siding comes through without pressure marks and flower beds come through alive.
We clean restaurants, drive-throughs, storefronts, and parking lots overnight, working around your traffic, so you never have to close your doors to get clean. Not many companies our size will take that on. For an owner, it means no lost sales and no customers turned away.
Call, text, or fill out the form. Most homes are quoted remotely from the address or a couple of photos. The quote arrives as a Housecall Pro link you approve in one tap, and we text back dates.
About three days out, we text you our Six Steps to Success checklist. It covers moving small items, closing windows, switching off outdoor lights, and checking the spigots. We handle heavy things like a grill. A reminder and an on-my-way text follow, with first jobs at 9 AM and later slots on a two-hour window.
If you’re home, we start with a quick talk; if you’re out, we work from the checklist. Our lead technician walks the property for problem areas while the second technician hooks up to your outdoor spigots and checks that the windows are shut. A whole house wash uses only about $10 of water.
We pre-rinse your plants and landscaping first. Then our soft-wash system applies a mild SH and surfactant treatment to the siding, windows, and trim. It dwells long enough to break down the algae, dirt, and mildew. Plenty of Hockessin houses carry two or three siding materials side by side. We adjust the mix as we go and give stucco the stronger treatment.
We rinse the siding, windows, and trim, then rinse the plants again. Your landscaping stays safe through pre-rinsing, dilution, and our plant neutralizer rather than through covering it up. Most homes take 45 minutes to about two hours.
Before we leave, we walk the house with you, and anything you notice gets handled on the spot. Pay on site or by invoice. Because a soft wash treats the whole house at once, we don’t take jobs for a single wall. If a stain turns out to be one of the rare ones that won’t come out, we’ll say so plainly instead of promising it away.
Most residential work is priced per job, with gutters and fences by the foot, solar by the panel, and pavers by the square foot. Every visit carries a minimum, so pairing services in one trip costs far less.

Because every visit has a $295 minimum per visit, booking several services in one trip always costs less than calling us back for each one. A roof cleaning paired with a house wash saves about 10%, or $150 to $200, and every roof cleaning comes with a free gutter inspection. Homeowners on a set 6- or 12-month schedule get a recurring-schedule discount with no contract to sign. Returning Christmas light customers get 25% off the reinstall.
Here’s what we promise, and where cleaning can and can’t make it right.
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.
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. Surfaces already damaged by someone else’s pressure washing can’t be restored.
Awnings come out clean without affecting the look or color of the fabric.
We guarantee the area will be ready for use when we’re done: dust, dirt, mud, and debris cleared.
Hockessin is a wooded, hilly town with a small village center, planned neighborhoods beside it, and estate homes set back in the trees. Our crew works these streets often enough to know which driveways run long and which back yards never see much sun. A few of the places people here know by name:
Most of our days in town are spent among Lantana’s vinyl-and-brick homes and townhomes, and around the older homes near Lancaster Pike and Valley Road.
Estimates are free. Simple jobs are priced right on the call. Bigger or commercial scopes come back within a few hours, or a day or two for very large ones. We answer the phone from 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM, Monday through Friday. Whether it’s the shady side of a house in Lantana or a storefront off Lancaster Pike, call (302) 415-3285.
