Central Virginia Power Washing was founded by Nicholas to provide quality exterior cleaning services to Richmond and the surrounding counties. What started as a single-operator business has grown into a trusted team of experienced technicians, backed by over 1,000 five-star Google reviews and nearly 300 positive Facebook reviews—the highest ratings of any exterior cleaning company in Central Virginia. Nicholas personally oversees operations to ensure every project meets the company's high standards for quality, safety, and customer satisfaction.
The business specializes in soft washing—a low-pressure cleaning method that uses biodegradable solutions and gentle application to clean roofs, siding, decks, and other surfaces without damage. This approach is recommended by the Asphalt Roofing Manufacturers Association (ARMA) and protects delicate granules, paint, and materials while removing algae, mold, mildew, and stains. Central Virginia Power Washing uses professional-grade equipment and cleaning solutions to deliver results that last, and their technicians are trained to pre- and post-rinse landscaping to protect plants and flowers during the cleaning process.
In addition to soft washing, Central Virginia Power Washing offers a full suite of exterior services: roof cleaning, gutter cleaning and brightening, exterior window cleaning with purified water (spot-free results), wood deck and fence cleaning and staining, concrete and driveway cleaning, rust removal, and even seasonal Christmas light installation and removal with off-season storage. They've also expanded into interior and exterior painting and staining, making them a one-stop shop for home exterior maintenance and improvement.

What is soft washing and why is it better than pressure washing?
Soft washing uses low pressure and biodegradable cleaning solutions (bleach, soap, water) to clean surfaces gently and effectively. It's recommended by the Asphalt Roofing Manufacturers Association (ARMA) because it kills algae, mold, and mildew without damaging roof granules, siding paint, or delicate materials. Central Virginia Power Washing uses soft washing for roofs, house siding, and other surfaces where high pressure could cause harm. High pressure is only used when appropriate—like on concrete, wood decks, or heavily soiled surfaces.
How much does pressure washing or soft washing cost?
Pricing varies based on the size of your home, the services you need, and the condition of the surfaces. Nicholas provides free estimates and responds quickly—often within minutes via phone, text, or Facebook Messenger. Customers consistently describe Central Virginia Power Washing's pricing as 'very reasonable' and 'affordable' without sacrificing quality.
