Why shaded homes in Dayton turn green
Dayton has a lot of green space for a town of about 7,000 people. Dayton Municipal Park, Swinging Bridge Park, Point Park, Centennial Park and Pendegrass Park all sit close to homes and streets. Many yards here also have mature trees. That shade is nice in summer, but it keeps siding, roofs and decks damp long after a rain.
Damp surfaces feed algae, mildew and lichen. You see it as green film on the north side of a house, black streaks on shingles, and slick spots on a shaded deck or walkway. Cleaning these surfaces the right way means killing the growth, not just rinsing it off for a few weeks.
Services that fit Dayton homes
These are the jobs we do most often for homes in a shaded, wooded town like Dayton. Each one uses the method that suits the surface, so you get a clean result without damage.
- House Washing: Green film gone from vinyl, painted wood and brick. We soft wash at low pressure with a solution that kills algae and mildew at the root.
- Roof Cleaning: Black streaks and moss removed from shingles. Roofs only get a soft wash, never high pressure, so shingles stay intact.
- Deck & Patio Cleaning: Slippery, gray boards and patios cleaned up. Wood and composite decking get low pressure so the surface does not splinter or scar.
- Driveway & Concrete Cleaning: Even, bright concrete with no stripes. We pre-treat oil, rust and organic stains, then use a rotary surface cleaner for a uniform finish.
- Paver & Concrete Sealing: After cleaning, a sealer helps protect pavers and concrete from water and stains, so they stay clean longer.

How a job in Dayton goes
Our crew comes from Graysville, TN. To get a quote, call or email and tell us what you want cleaned. Photos of the house, roof, deck or driveway help Harrison see the size and condition of the job. You can send them to h.murphypowerwash@gmail.com. We work Monday through Sunday, 6:00 AM to 8:00 PM, so weekends are an option.
You do not need to be home on cleaning day if we can use an outdoor spigot. Before we start, we wet down your plants and shrubs and cover what needs it. After cleaning, we rinse the landscaping again. Leave gates unlocked and move cars out of the driveway if we are cleaning concrete.
