Matthew Nelligan grew up in Richmond and has spent his career serving the people and properties of this community. After years in the home services industry working with Richmond homeowners firsthand, he launched Platypus Power Washing to bring the same neighbor-to-neighbor approach to exterior cleaning — with better technique, better communication, and results you can actually see.
Platypus Power Washing was built on a simple belief: hiring someone to clean your home should be easy, honest, and stress-free. That means a clear quote before any work begins, a technician who shows up on time and treats your property with care, and a finished job you're proud of. If anything falls short, we make it right.
We specialize in soft washing for siding, and controlled pressure washing for concrete, driveways, decks, and hardscapes. Every job uses biodegradable, eco-friendly detergents that are safe for your landscaping, your pets, and your family.
Whether it's a historic Fan District porch, a brick Colonial Heights driveway, or a vinyl-sided home in Short Pump — we assess each surface individually and apply the right method for a deep clean without unnecessary damage.
You'll know the exact cost before we start. No hidden fees, no surprises on the invoice.
We confirm your appointment, let you know when we're on the way, and follow up when the job is done.
We don't leave until the work meets our standard. If something's off, we fix it — period.
We protect your home, plants, and surfaces on every single job.
Professional equipment and careful technique, every time.
Honest estimates and clear communication — no runaround.
Born and raised in Richmond. This is our home too.
