Looking for a reliable Power Washing Contractor Connecticut? Shigla’s Construction provides professional power washing services for homes and commercial properties.
At Shigla’s Construction LLC, we provide professional power washing and pressure washing services for residential and commercial properties throughout Connecticut. Connecticut’s four-season climate is tough on exterior surfaces wet springs promote mold and mildew growth, summer humidity feeds algae on north-facing surfaces, fall brings leaf and organic debris, and winter freeze-thaw cycles push grime into porous surfaces. The result is that driveways, decks, siding, roofs, and walkways accumulate years of built-up dirt, biological growth, and staining that degrades their appearance and in the case of wood, concrete, and masonry accelerates their deterioration.
Professional power washing removes this buildup efficiently and effectively, restoring the original appearance of exterior surfaces without the physical effort, time, and risk of damage that DIY pressure washing involves. Done correctly, power washing also prepares surfaces for painting, staining, sealing, or other treatments by removing contaminants that would prevent proper adhesion.
Shigla’s Construction uses professional-grade pressure washing equipment calibrated for each surface type the pressure, water temperature, and detergent combination appropriate for concrete is very different from what’s appropriate for vinyl siding or a cedar deck. Using the wrong pressure or technique damages surfaces, drives water behind siding, or strips the grain from wood decking. Our crew applies the correct approach to every surface we clean.
Concrete and asphalt driveways, walkways, patios, and parking areas are some of the most visible surfaces on any Connecticut property and they often collect the heaviest staining. Oil drips, tire marks, rust stains, embedded dirt, moss, algae, and mildew gradually build up on these surfaces over time. If left untreated, this biological growth can also create slippery areas that increase the risk of slips and falls.
We use high pressure hot water cleaning for concrete driveways and walkways because hot water is far more effective at removing oil, grease, and deep organic stains than cold water. For heavily stained areas we apply professional grade degreasers and treatments that eliminate mold and mildew before pressure washing begins. On large driveways we use specialized surface cleaning equipment that washes evenly and efficiently while preventing the streaking that often appears when using a standard pressure washing wand.
Exterior siding including vinyl, fiber cement, wood, and stucco naturally collects dirt, pollen, mold, mildew, and algae as time passes. In shaded areas of Connecticut homes this buildup can become very noticeable. Siding that originally appeared white or light gray can quickly develop green or dark staining caused by algae and mold growth. Routine cleaning helps maintain the appearance of the home while also extending the life of the siding.
Instead of high pressure washing we use a soft washing method for siding. This process uses lower pressure combined with specialized cleaning detergents that safely remove dirt and biological growth. High pressure washing can force water behind siding panels and into the wall structure which may lead to moisture damage. Soft washing safely cleans the surface while eliminating mold and algae at the source so the siding remains clean for a longer period of time.
Wood decks and fences throughout Connecticut are constantly exposed to moisture, sunlight, and organic growth that cause discoloration, staining, and surface deterioration. Regular cleaning helps extend the lifespan of wood structures and is an important step before applying deck stain, sealers, or paint.
We power wash decks and fences using controlled low to medium pressure along with wood safe cleaning solutions that remove dirt, mildew, mold, and weathered gray discoloration without damaging the wood fibers. When a deck is being prepared for staining or sealing we also apply a wood brightening treatment after washing. This treatment restores the natural color of the wood, opens the grain, and prepares the surface so stains and sealers can properly penetrate and protect the wood.
The black streaks often seen on asphalt shingle roofs in Connecticut are caused by a type of algae that feeds on the limestone used in shingles. This algae not only affects the appearance of the roof but can also shorten its lifespan by slowly breaking down the shingle surface and contributing to granule loss. Soft washing removes this algae and restores the roof’s clean appearance while protecting the shingles.
Roof cleaning should never be done with high pressure because strong pressure can strip away the protective granules and void roofing warranties. We use a low pressure soft washing system combined with specialized cleaning solutions recommended by roofing manufacturers to safely remove algae, moss, and lichen without damaging the roof.
Commercial properties benefit greatly from regular exterior cleaning. Parking areas, building facades, sidewalks, loading zones, dumpster areas, and exterior signage often collect heavy staining and biological growth that can negatively affect the professional image of a business. Shigla’s Construction provides commercial power washing services for businesses across Connecticut.
We offer flexible scheduling that allows work to be completed outside of normal business hours to avoid disrupting daily operations. With professional equipment and experienced crews we can efficiently clean large commercial surfaces while restoring a clean, well maintained appearance to your property.

Common questions Connecticut homeowners and property owners ask us before scheduling a power washing service.
Power washing costs in Connecticut depend on the surfaces being cleaned, the square footage, and the condition of the surfaces. A standard driveway cleaning for an average Connecticut home typically runs $150 to $350. Full house washing ranges from $300 to $600+ depending on home size. Deck cleaning runs $150 to $400 depending on deck size. Roof soft washing typically runs $300 to $700 depending on roof area. Commercial surfaces are priced by the project. We provide free, written estimates for every power washing project so you know the exact cost before scheduling.
For most Connecticut properties, a full exterior cleaning every one to two years is appropriate for maintaining appearance and preventing biological growth from becoming established. North-facing surfaces and areas with significant tree canopy may benefit from annual cleaning due to faster mold, algae, and moss accumulation. Concrete driveways and walkways are typically cleaned every one to two years. Roofs should be cleaned every two to four years depending on how quickly algae staining develops this varies significantly by location and tree cover.
Yes when done correctly with soft washing technique. High-pressure washing is not appropriate for vinyl siding because it can force water behind panels and into wall cavities. We use soft washing lower pressure combined with appropriate surfactant detergents to clean vinyl siding safely and effectively. Soft washing kills mold and algae at the surface without the moisture infiltration risk of high-pressure washing. The results typically last longer than high-pressure washing because the biological growth is treated rather than just rinsed off.
Yes when the correct pressure and technique are used. Wood decking should never be cleaned with high pressure at close range, which raises grain, causes fuzzing, and can drive water deep into the wood. We use low-to-medium pressure with wood-safe cleaning solutions to clean wood decks without causing damage. For decks that are being prepared for staining or sealing, we also apply a wood brightener after washing to open the grain and ensure optimal penetration and adhesion of the finish product.
Yes power washing before exterior painting is essential, not optional. Paint applied over surfaces that are dirty, mildew-contaminated, or chalky will not adhere properly and will begin to peel prematurely. We recommend power washing exterior surfaces at least one week before painting begins to allow adequate drying time. For wood surfaces with significant mold or mildew contamination, we also recommend a mold-killing pre-treatment in addition to power washing to prevent biological growth from recurring under the new paint film.
No obligation. We respond within 2 hours.
We calibrate pressure, temperature, and detergent for each surface type. Concrete gets high-pressure hot water; siding and roofs get soft washing. The wrong approach damages surfaces we never guess.
We use commercial-grade pressure washing equipment that delivers results home-depot rental machines simply cannot match consistent pressure, hot water capacity, and proper surface cleaning attachments.
