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.
