HENRICO'S LOCALLY OWNEDPOWER WASHING COMPANY

When it comes to power washing in Henrico, VA, one Richmond summer is all it takes for algae to creep up your siding, black streaks to appear on your roof, and your driveway to go from clean to grimy. Henrico County runs the gamut — newer vinyl and HardiPlank in Short Pump, painted brick colonials in the West End, mid-century ranchers in Highland Springs, and established neighborhoods across Glen Allen and Tuckahoe. Every property type comes with its own exterior cleaning challenges, and a one-size-fits-all approach doesn't cut it. Platypus Power Washing is based right here in Richmond at 2028 Dabney Rd, which means we're in Henrico constantly — we know that Short Pump's newer construction needs a fundamentally different approach than the older brick homes in the West End, and we clean accordingly. Licensed, insured, and built around doing the job right the first time. Call (804) 764-0046 for a free quote.

I'd had a big mold problem on one side of my house due to it never receiving sun. Also since I live in Maymont near the river the moist air was really creating a layer of mildew on most of the siding. The guys from Platypus took care of it all with no problem and even deep cleaned my walkway all for a great price. Def recommend!

POWER WASHING SERVICESWE OFFER IN HENRICO COUNTY

Henrico homes face humidity, heavy pollen, mature tree canopy, and a mix of older and newer construction. Here's how we tackle each service.
House Washing

House Washing

Henrico's humidity and mature tree canopy create ideal conditions for mold, mildew, and algae growth on exterior siding — especially on north-facing and shaded walls. Our soft wash house washing uses low pressure and professional-grade cleaning solutions to safely remove buildup from vinyl, HardiPlank, brick, stucco, and wood siding without forcing water behind panels or damaging paint. From the newer subdivisions in Short Pump to the established homes in Tuckahoe, we make Henrico houses look the way they're supposed to.

Driveway & Concrete Cleaning

Driveway & Concrete Cleaning

Henrico driveways take a beating — tire marks, oil stains, organic growth, and general grime all combine to dull concrete over time. Our surface cleaner removes embedded staining and algae from driveways, walkways, and sidewalks. We apply a post-treatment rinse to neutralize cleaning solution before it contacts your landscaping, and we take care around the landscaping beds that Henrico homeowners invest serious money in.

Roof Soft Washing

Roof Soft Washing

That black streaking on your Henrico roof isn't dirt — it's Gloeocapsa magma, a bacteria that feeds on the limestone in your shingles and shortens your roof's lifespan. Henrico's combination of humidity and tree coverage accelerates growth significantly, particularly on north-facing or heavily shaded roof sections. We use a ground-level soft wash approach aligned with ARMA standards — low pressure, professional-grade cleaning solution — that eliminates algae and bacteria without voiding your manufacturer warranty or causing granule loss.

Deck & Fence Cleaning

Deck & Fence Cleaning

Henrico's tree canopy and humidity mean wood decks and fences go gray and green fast. We clean wood, composite, and vinyl surfaces using appropriate pressure and cleaning solutions for each material, restoring color and removing mold and mildew without raising the grain or splintering the wood. If you're planning to stain or seal your deck this season, a professional cleaning first is the right move — paint and stain bond dramatically better to a properly cleaned surface.

Patio & Paver Cleaning

Patio & Paver Cleaning

Brick patios, flagstone, and concrete pavers are popular throughout Henrico's older and newer neighborhoods alike, and they require more care than standard concrete. We clean between the joints carefully, remove organic staining and efflorescence, and rinse thoroughly without washing out the sand base.
Learn More
Gutter Cleaning

Gutter Cleaning

Henrico's mature trees — particularly in the West End and Tuckahoe neighborhoods — mean gutters fill up fast. Clogged gutters back water up against fascia boards, overflow during rain events, and direct water toward foundations. We clear debris and flush downspouts so water moves away from your home the way it's supposed to.

Why Henrico Homeowners ChoosePlatypus

Henrico County runs the gamut — newer vinyl and HardiPlank in Short Pump, painted brick in the West End, mid-century ranches in Highland Springs, and tree-lined lots in Tuckahoe and Glen Allen. Richmond's humid subtropical climate means organic growth never really stops — algae establishes on shaded north-facing walls, Gloeocapsa magma works its way into shingles, and pollen coats every surface from February through May. Every property type and every surface requires a different approach, and getting it wrong causes real damage.

Platypus is locally owned and based right here in Richmond, with crews in Henrico every week. We match the method to the surface — soft washing where chemistry should do the work, pressure washing where the surface can handle it. We use biodegradable cleaning solutions that are effective against organic growth without harming your landscaping, your pets, or the James River watershed. Every job is backed by our satisfaction guarantee — if you're not happy, we make it right.

POWER WASHING INHENRICO COUNTY — FAQS

Most Henrico homes benefit from house washing every 12-18 months given the humidity and tree cover. Homes with heavy shade exposure or north-facing walls may need it annually. Short Pump's newer vinyl homes tend to need it less frequently than the older wood and brick homes in the West End.
