We just wrapped up a full week of exterior cleaning at a 31-unit HOA complex in Prior Lake - and this one was a good reminder of what algae and mold can do to siding when it's left to sit. Unit after unit had the same story: dark streaking along the lap lines, green algae creeping up from the lower courses, and that overall dull, grimy look that makes a whole building feel tired.
Here's the thing about algae and mold on vinyl siding - it's not just cosmetic. Left alone, organic growth works its way into the seams and can hold moisture against the surface over time. For an HOA, that's a maintenance headache waiting to happen. Getting it cleaned off regularly is one of the simplest ways to protect the exteriors and keep the community looking sharp.
For a job this size, consistency matters. Every unit got the same level of attention - gutters, upper siding panels, lower courses, corners, and all the detail areas that are easy to rush past when you're moving through a large property. We worked top to bottom and made sure the rinse was clean before moving to the next unit. No shortcuts.
The before and after on this one is hard to miss. The siding went from streaked and greenish to genuinely bright - the kind of clean that makes the whole complex look well cared for. That's exactly the outcome an HOA board is looking for, and we're proud to have delivered it across all 31 units.
