The quality of work was good, very clean. The people were friendly and communication was easy. Compared to other vendors, their cost was lower. The only problem was that one window screen and another window got broken during their work. I didn't think they should be responsible for it, but if you consider using them, maybe good to remind them to be gentle.
Description of Work: The provider power washed the siding and front porch of my town house, windows exterior and interior. They also cleaned the window screens, window sills and the siding in the screened porch with a little bit extra charge. The total cost was $315 for my 2300 square feet townhouse. Totally worth the money!

I hadn't had the front of my house cleaned in 6 years. It was beginning to look real bad with mold. I got an estimate that was very fair then called to have the work done. He came out and did a great job. House looks great. I will certainly use him again in the future but not wait 6 years.

Our tow story house is located in a wooded neighborhood and had accumulated quite a bit of mildew in several spots. They were quick to respond to our request for an estimate. We thought the estimate was fair for the amount of work that was required to thoroughly remove all the mildew and dirt that had accumulated on the siding and under the soffits. They arrived well before the scheduled time and told us how long the job would take (which was very much appreciated!) Prior to finishing, they asked us to thoroughly inspect their work and to let them know of any areas they needed to go back over. We had one small area on the porch that we wanted touched up and they gladly did so. We felt they did a great job for the price we paid for their service. Overall excellent experience and we would highly recommend Sparkle Wash to our neighbors and friends and anyone else looking for a good, reliable, "do what you say you are going to do" kind of company.

Response from SPARKLE WASH
These people were very nice and I would of been happy to complete work for them. Their deck and property was very impressive. There location was very remote and 50 miles for me to travel. I required multiple trips to complete work. The price accurately reflected the work they needed done. I reviewed estimate amount claimed by member with my records and there is some discrepancy.

It was most positive. I have no dislikes. The likes would be that they did it at the time frame that they said they'd do it for the price they said they'd do it and they did a good job.

We used these guys to stain our screen porch and deck for us. The job required scaffolding for the exterior of the porch, and would not be easy to accomplish as a do-it-yourself job. The labor cost is fairly high for what is fairly straightforward, so I would recommend if you have a complex deck system (as I did), with a lot of elevation and difficult to reach places. However, for less complex decks to be stained, it might be worthwhile to simply have them power wash the deck, and do the staining yourself. The owner was helpful and had very good communication via email, which is surprisingly rare in many other home-related contractors.

This was the second time I used this company. As before, service was excellent. The tech was careful around my bushes and plants and closed the gates when he finished. The job took about 3 hours.
Description of Work: The provider power washed the exterior of my two story Colonial house. Because there was severe biological staining on some areas the wash included a mildicide.

Description of Work: Power washed siding of house. Power washed and removed old stain from screened in porch and deck. Then applied new stain. Screened in porched has an A-frame pitch, so that included extra equipment. Service, communication and timeliness were impeccable. I will most definitely use them again. They exceeded my expectations.

Sparklewash did an excellent job in cleaning the house, looked better then new when done. Staff was very competent. Only concern was the price, which for the hours expended seemed a bit steep. However, job was done well.

I have reported on it above. They did a great job. The north side had green mildew which was completly removed and they used a mildewicide on it which I am assuming will prevent mildew from appearing so soon. I didn't discuss the details with them; I just know that they used it. The siding looked very clean, and I was completely happy with their work. The price for the job included the 10% discount for Angie's List customers. The only reason I gave them a B on price was that a competitor gave me a fairly close bid for all four sides of the house. I have no idea if the competitor's work would be as good as Sparkle Wash.
Description of Work: The Sparkle Wash employees power washed the east and north sides of our home which has vinyl siding with some brick and which includes a 3-car garage. I believe the person who gave me the estimate came in only a couple of days. We were having a party Saturday and I was anxious to have the front of the house clean. It turned out that there were employees available who could come out that afternoon to do the work. They did an excellent job. I was somewaht concerned about the possibility of water being sprayed up under the siding, but they had extension equipment that sprayed in a more horizontal position to the siding.

The project was completed as requested at the agreed estimate and in an acceptable time frame. Workers were friendly and arrived when expected.
Description of Work: Sparklewash provided pressure washing and application of oil-based stain to a cedar deck and screened porch for a project I was unable to complete. They also installed stainless screws in some of the exterior lumber. The project required scaffolding because of the height.

Highly recommend. Very professional. Expect this to take a few hours. Very professional job. Because it's very high pressure, expect some damage to soft foliage of plants around your house, but nothing lasting more than one season. Really really great job. It's like i have a new house and a new deck! My deck railings were covered in lichens, mildew, and nasty dirt that's been there for years. It looks brand new. There's some rotted material here and there that was blasted away too, but that's to be expected. On my siding, the north side of my house had mildew and algae pretty heavy in some places from two cold wet springs in a row and it's all gone. I was amazed how good my windows looked afterwards too. The glass looked great, but also the framing and even the shutters looked like i'd replaced them. My house is only 10 years old, but it was a gorgeous refresh that was really welcome. Great job!!!

We contacted Sparklewash for an estimate on pressure-washing our house, which is primarily vinyl siding, with some brick facing. It had not been cleaned since installation almost 12 years ago, and had a lot of mildew/green mold in places. Sparklewash responded promptly to requests for an estimate, came a couple days later, and emailed me the estimate quickly. The price seemed reasonable for a large, two -story house ($550 including mildew treatment), so we hired them, and they came to complete the job within the week. They climbed on the roof and seemed to get to all the surfaces, including our front porch (which is open to the street). All the green moldy stuff came off, there is only one little patch of g*** where we had an old A/C that didn't come off. The house looks nice and clean, and I definitely recommend them for good service.
Description of Work: Pressure-washed all exterior surfaces of our house, including vinyl siding, brick facing, and our front porch, using a mildicide to kill the green mold/mildew that had built up.

Aaron came to the house to do the estimate, and walked through the process with me and answered all my questions. He emailed me the estimate. When the date for the job was a bit far in the future, he moved it up and got it done right away. The worker arrived on time, and did an excellent job addressing all the particular challenges. Clean up was thorough-- he even hosed down the driveway to get rid of bits of debris from the job. Well done!

We had gotten an estimate several months ago, called up and got a date for the work to be performed within two weeks. The workmen were punctual and careful. We had a small portion of siding off and covered with plastic to perform repairs, they were careful not to spray water under it. The work was done efficiently and thoroughly, although they were no able to reach some portions of our gables with high pressure as they didn't have ladders long enough. They did squirt mildicide/soap there and rinse it off, but from a distance.
Description of Work: In preparation for painting the house, they applied mildicide and pressure washed the entire exterior of our house and garage, including painted decks.
