I first met the team of George Apap at the Dutchess County Fair last Summer. Soon after that meeting, they sent a consultant to my home for an estimate. I wanted the entire outside of my home re-stained and to have the large front and back decks repaired, sanded and re-stained. They also included the service of doing an exterior soft wash on the entire house. I found their price to be fair and reasonable and their quote was in the middle of the three quotes I received from other companies.
I asked them if they could postpone the project to the Spring with the understanding that the price might go up 6 months later. To my surprise they agreed to hold the price. Their project coordinator Leah reached out to me in February to get the job on their calendar. Leah was very professional, patient and easy to work with. She was in contact with me often to schedule each phase of the project. When it came to selecting colors, I was having some difficulties so Leah sent a color consultant to meet with me to review all of the options. Later that day Sean came by to walk through the project with me and review all of the details. Weather permitting, the project was finished on time and as promised.
I happen to have been out of town during the entire staining process so I did not get to meet Wayne and his team. I am sorry I didn't as when I returned I was extremely impressed with the care and meticulousness with which they executed the entire job. I would certainly have liked to thank them in person. I have heard many nightmare stories of painting contractors but my experience with George Apap was wonderful from start to finish. That is why I highly recommend them. One can certainly find a less expensive company to work with but you won't find a better one.

We are very pleased with the results of the cleaning job of our house siding and white trim under our gutters (which had a lot of gray/black on them). The north side of our house was particularly bad with a lot of green mold and looked wretched. Now all the siding and white trim look fantastic. Augusto and Joe were a great team -- they were personable and efficient and professional. They talked with us prior to starting the job and explained what they were going to do, and when they were done, they walked all around the house with us when we did our inspection. We are also happy with our earlier consultation with Patrick who first came to the house to look at the job and who gave us the quote. Because it had been several years since we had cleaned the siding (ourselves), we knew a professional team had to take care of it this time. We opted for the 3-year contract to keep the green mold and dirt away and will re-assess after that. Thank you Joe, Augusto, and George Apap!

Washing services Q&A

WHAT IS SOFT WASHING?

Soft washing is a cleaning method using low pressure and specialized biodegradable chemical solutions to safely remove mildew, mold, bacteria, algae, pollen, dirt and other organic stains from roofs and other building exteriors without damaging surfaces on your home or killing your plants.

HOW SOFT WASHING DIFFERENT FROM POWER WASHING?

Power washing relies primarily on a penetrating jet of water. Soft washing relies on the power of the cleaning products being used. Power washing or pressure washing often has a stigma. Homeowners link it to worn out paint, blown window seals, destroyed landscaping and much more. Whether this association comes from a bad experience with a previous contractor or from DIY experiences, a knowledgeable estimator will often address all concerns with the customer to educate them on the process that best fits their needs. It’s also at this point that the term “soft washing” is introduced.

What does THE SOFT-WASH PROCESS INCLUDE?

Protecting delicate plants and landscaping
Applying a cleaning solution that includes mildewcides, algaecides and surfactants
Giving the solution time to work, penetrating to the roots of your home and killing the roots of the growth.
Rinsing all surfaces

WHAT ARE THE KEY BENEFITS?

Not only does the soft-washing method safely and thoroughly clean surfaces-such as your roof, deck, patio, siding or fence- but it also is gentle on your home’s surfaces. It is extremely effective in removing unsightly mold, mildew, algae and fungi, as well as in preserving the lifespan of your paint, shingles and siding. Plus, it’s easy to protect your plants and landscaping.

DOES POWER WASHING STILL HAVE A PLACE?

Yes! Power washing certainly has a specific place and purpose when it comes to cleaning driveways, patios and walkways, but the extreme velocity of the water can potentially damage softer materials like wood, shingles, vinyl siding. A professional pressure washing company will know exactly what combination and nozzle extensions to use to achieve the proper pressure, volume and chemical mixture to clean all surfaces thoroughly, effectively and safely.
