Pacific Exterior provides a variety of exterior cleaning and restoration services for residential and commercial clients in San Mateo, Santa Clara, Santa Cruz, and Monterey Counties. The family-owned and operated company uses state-of-the-art equipment and environmentally-friendly detergents to safely remove contaminants like bacteria, moss, lichen, and algae from roofs, building exteriors, and concrete and stone hard surfaces.
Owner Eric Schnaible established Pacific Exterior in 2010 after noticing a need for professional roof and exterior cleaning in Northern California. “We filled that role for the community and we’ve been an authority in the field for many years,” he says. “By being thorough and conscientious, we’re able to ensure consistent, damage-free, outstanding results that leave our customers completely satisfied.”
Pacific Exterior focuses on educating its clients about the exterior cleaning process so they feel more comfortable with what’s happening on their properties. “Many people have questions when it comes to non-pressure cleaning, and much of the information on the internet can be contradictory and confusing, so we’re happy to educate our customers throughout their projects,” says Mr. Schnaible. “We know exactly how to answer their questions and address their concerns, which they really appreciate.”
“Our goal is to maintain a successful business full of customers who are thrilled with our work, so everything we do is geared toward achieving that goal. We’re friendly and genuine, we treat each project like it was our own, and we never sell or suggest a service that we don’t believe will truly benefit our clients.”
To protect your home and extend its life span, consider “safe washing” it on a regular basis.
“Safe washing” refers to the process of cleaning the exterior surfaces of a home (siding, roof, windows, decks and more) using methods and products that are environmentally-friendly and don’t damage the structure. Traditional pressure washing methods may be effective at removing dirt, grime, mold and other contaminants, but they can also cause damage to delicate surfaces, strip paint and force water into places where it shouldn't be. Safe washing methods prioritize the use of lower pressures, appropriate cleaning agents and techniques that minimize the risk of damage.
Here are four reasons to consider safe washing your home:
1. Improve curb appeal. “Whether or not you’re planning on selling your house, curb appeal is very important,” says Eric Schnaible, owner of Pacific Exterior in Santa Cruz. “If you safe wash your home, you’ll likely see drastic results after things like mold, mildew, fungus and rust are removed—all of which can increase its value.”
2. Remove spiders and cobwebs. “You’ve probably noticed unsightly cobwebs under eaves and in corners of your home,” says Mr. Schnaible. “Safe washing can remove these cobwebs safely and efficiently for the long term.”
3. Extend your home’s life span. “Preventive maintenance like safe washing can extend the life of everything from decks and patios to driveways,” affirms Mr. Schnaible. “It’s a great way to keep your home’s exterior in the best condition and prevent major problems from occurring.”
4. Keep your family safe. “Mold growth is more of a health issue than many homeowners think, so it’s important to be able to recognize the symptoms of mold in your home and take steps to protect you and your family,” cautions Mr. Schnaible. “Washing your exterior surfaces can remove these harmful toxins and bacteria from your home environment and prevent health problems.”
Maintaining customer satisfaction is a crucial aspect of any business, but it’s even more important for exterior cleaning companies that have earned the prestigious Diamond Certified award. For Pacific Exterior, keeping customers happy is all about paying attention to details and making sure they get the best possible results. “We’re obsessive about having a good reputation, so we never rest on our laurels,” says owner Eric Schnaible. “Our thorough, conscientious approach ensures consistently outstanding results that leave our customers 100 percent satisfied.”
Pacific Exterior has been providing exterior cleaning and restoration services for residential and commercial clients in San Mateo, Santa Clara, Santa Cruz, and Monterey Counties since 2010. The family-owned and operated company uses industry-best equipment and Green detergents to remove dirt, mildew, algae, and other contaminants from hard surfaces like patios, driveways, roofs, and more.
Unlike less experienced pressure washers who use incorrect techniques or methods and end up causing irreversible property damage as a result, Pacific Exterior takes a dynamic approach to exterior cleaning, sanitization and restoration that provides a superior alternative. “We understand that our clients’ homes and buildings are big investments, so we take great care to clean them safely and efficiently,” says Mr. Schnaible. “We know exactly what we’re doing, we have over a decade of proven results and we focus all our efforts on making every job perfect.”
Pacific Exterior prioritizes education in every aspect of its operations, from explaining its work to customers so they know what to expect to showcasing its industry expertise in numerous national and international publications. “We’re an established authority when it comes to the causes and remedies for specific exterior building growths and stains,” affirms Mr. Schnaible. “We know people have questions about this type of work, and we’re happy to educate them about what to expect.”
