Shaded, wooded lots around Newark grow green algae on siding and walkways. Head downtown and the problem changes, because the Main Street restaurant and bar strip collects grease, spills, and foot-traffic grime on its sidewalks and storefronts. Our team at T&T Powerwash handles both, from algae on a shaded house to grease on a busy sidewalk. Whether you’re in Fairfield, over in Nottingham Green, or running a place downtown, call (302) 415-3285 and tell us what you’re seeing.
We work for homeowners, for landlords with rental houses near campus, and for the restaurants and shops downtown. Siding and roofs get a soft wash, concrete gets surface cleaning, and one crew holds the same standard on all of it.
Newark homes run from brick ranches, split-levels, and colonials with vinyl siding or painted wood trim to the vinyl- and metal-sided rentals near Main Street. Siding and trim get a soft wash, never pressure.
Most owner-occupied homes here do well with a wash every spring. For rentals near Main Street, the natural time is between late-May move-out and August move-in, before the next tenants arrive.
We can handle commercial properties such as the brick storefronts and restaurant sidewalks along Main Street, grocery-anchored shopping center lots, and apartment buildings and multi-unit rentals.
Commercial work starts with a site walk and a talk about your budget, so the dirtiest areas get handled first. You get a detailed line-item quote, and we’re fully licensed and insured, with a COI and W-9 on request. We invoice on completion and accept net 30.
Ask our customers what stands out and the same few things keep coming up. They’re the standards we hold on every job.
Our Google reviews mention two things more than anything else: responsiveness and communication. We pick up when you call, and your quote arrives as a text you can approve in a tap. Before the visit you get a prep checklist, then a heads-up when we’re headed your way. Running late? You’ll hear it from us first, from the same people who quote and schedule your job.
We’ve earned 500+ five-star Google reviews, more than nearly any exterior cleaning company in Delaware. Every one came from a finished job, one property at a time, written by homeowners and business owners both.
Two friends started us in 2021 with a hand-built pressure washer and about a hundred dollars in parts. We’re still locally owned, and we look after every property in Newark the way we’d look after our own backyard.
Turning up the pressure leaves marks on siding, and older, chalky vinyl shows them worst. We let SH (sodium hypochlorite) do the cleaning instead, so your siding comes through unmarked and your landscaping comes through alive. On roofs we also bag the gutters and rinse the shingles the way ARMA guidelines call for. Anyone can spray SH on a roof, but protecting everything around it is the real job.
Restaurants, drive-throughs, storefronts, parking lots: we clean them overnight and around your traffic, so you never have to close your doors to get clean. Not many companies our size will take that on. Working nights protects your sales, and that matters more to us than our own schedule.
Here’s how a house wash runs from start to finish. Every other service we offer starts with the same quote and prep steps.
Call, text, or fill out the online form and tell us about the property. We pull it up from the address with satellite and street view, or you text us a couple of photos. Simple jobs get priced right on the call. Your quote then comes as a Housecall Pro link. Approve it, and we text you a couple of dates and times to choose from.
About three days out, you get our Six Steps to Success checklist. It covers moving small items and light furniture, closing and latching windows, turning off outdoor lights, and checking that your spigots work. We’ll move anything heavy, like the grill. A reminder follows, then a text when we’re on the way. First jobs start at 9 AM, and later slots have a two-hour arrival window.
Our lead technician walks the property with you, or works from the checklist if you’re away. The second technician hooks up to your spigots (two working ones is ideal) and checks that the windows are shut. A whole house wash uses only about $10 of water.
We rinse your plants and landscaping first. Then our soft-wash system applies a mild SH and surfactant treatment to the siding, windows, and trim. We let it sit long enough to break down algae, dirt, and mildew. On Newark’s shaded, wooded lots, the siding that sits in the shade carries the heaviest algae, so it gets our closest look during the treatment.
We rinse the siding, windows, and trim thoroughly, give the plants another rinse, and neutralize with our plant neutralizer. Most homes take 45 minutes to two hours.
We walk the house with you at the end, and anything you spot gets handled right then. Pay on site or by invoice. Afterward you’ll get a review request, and down the road, a check-in about your next cleaning.
Every price here is a typical range. Your final number depends on the size of the property, the number of stories, the siding or surface, and how easy it is to reach. Commercial jobs are quoted after a site walk.

Other Commercial Services
These are quoted after a site walk rather than from a set range:
There are a few ways to pay less. Bundling services into one visit is cheaper than a second trip. Adding a walkway or fence to your house wash costs far less than calling us back for it later. Booking a roof and house wash together saves about 10%, or $150 to $200. Neighborhood group rates start at a ten-home minimum, and 55+ communities get a little more off. Even two or three neighbors booking the same day still get a smaller group discount. Set a regular 6- or 12-month schedule, and we’ll discount it. Every roof cleaning comes with a free gutter inspection.
Some of our promises belong to a single service. One covers every job we do.
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. That holds for homes, rentals, and storefronts alike.
If we clean your roof, it stays clean for two years: asphalt, cedar, tile, or metal. That’s our guarantee. Most cleaned roofs actually stay clean four to five years.
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.
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.
Newark is a college town with the university at its center. Long-time homeowners in established neighborhoods live a few streets from rental houses that change hands every school year. Downtown, the storefronts and restaurants on Main Street see foot traffic every night. As a locally owned crew, we give a campus rental the same care as the family home next door to it.
A Newark week runs through a few familiar places:
Most of our work here lands in Fairfield, Nottingham Green, Cherry Hill Manor, and the rental streets around Main Street.
Every estimate is free, and most can be done without a visit. Simple quotes come back within minutes, and detailed commercial quotes within a few hours. Call (302) 415-3285 between 8:00 AM and 4:00 PM, Monday through Friday, or text us or use the form any time. If you own a rental near campus, it’s an easy call to make before late-May move-out or August move-in.
