We only get paid when you are happy with the results.
At McMorris Power Washing, we specialize in cedar cleaning services, which will breathe new life into your cedar siding. Cedar is a durable material that needs proper care and maintenance for its charm. We provide tailored services that preserve and protect the investment if you need shake siding restoration, cedar siding cleaning, or shingles cleaning. Our trained team utilizes advanced technology techniques and wash-safe products, which ensure your cedar siding transforms into new.
Our expert cedar siding cleaners understand each cedar type. Whether it’s western red cedar, white cedar (Thuja), or Alaskan yellow cedar, or any other type that needs gentle cleaning or hard stain removal, we clean to maintain natural integrity.
Cedar siding becomes faded, moldy, mossy, and discolored without regular maintenance. Most homeowners call us once they notice one or more of these:
Cedar is a natural, beautiful material that demands regular cleaning and stays susceptible to weather damage. Without maintenance, cedar siding fades, molds, and loses the exterior grace that first drew you to it.
Cedarwood carries a natural warmth that fades over time from moisture and dirt. We clean with a high-quality, surface-friendly cleaner that brings that warm, aesthetic look back to your home.
Mildew, mold, and built-up grime leave a dull, black look on your exterior and slowly rot the wood underneath. We clear every pollutant using branded cedar siding cleaners built for long-term protection.
Your home's exterior is the first impression buyers and neighbors get. We gently wash the cedar siding back to like-new condition, restoring the curb appeal that adds real value when you sell.
Cleaning and Cedar staining go together. Once the siding is clean and fully dry, staining and sealing locks in the color and adds a layer of protection against the sun and salt air, which does a number on cedar out here. Skip the cleaning step and the stain won’t stick as well, so order matters. Many of our cedar cleaning customers on Long Island ask for siding sealing and staining right after the wash, and we’ll clean a cedar deck in the same visit if you have one.
Cedar shake, cedar shingle, and cedar panels each need a different touch to come clean without damage.
Panel and clapboard siding covers western red cedar, white cedar (Thuja), and Alaskan yellow cedar in even, overlapping passes.
Cedar shingle cleaning, sometimes called shingles cleaning, uses lighter pressure to lift mold, grime, and algae fast.
Cedar shake cleaning uses a wider, low-pressure pass for shake siding restoration that keeps the heavy texture intact.
Our services are the best because we bring proven results and experienced cedar siding cleaners to every Long Island home.
Our experienced professional team cleans every type of cedar siding, from shingle siding to shake siding to white cedar.
Our cedar siding cleaning equipment is safe and adjustable, preventing mold accumulation on cedar siding for years.

Cost depends on the size of your house, how many stories it is, how bad the buildup has gotten, and whether you add staining. We’d rather give you a real number than a vague one, so call or fill out the quote form and we’ll get you an answer.
Professional cedar siding cleaning protects your investment in several ways.
Cleaning restores cedar's rich texture and color after fading from sun, rain, and pollution, boosting curb appeal.
Regular cleaning removes mold, mildew, and moisture before they damage naturally rot-resistant cedar.
Long Island's humid climate feeds algae, mildew, and moss, and cleaning clears them before they weaken the wood.
Clean siding lets stains, sealants, and paint bond better, for longer-lasting finishes and protection.
Built-up dirt traps moisture against the surface, so cleaning helps prevent warping, cracking, and fiber damage.
Soft washing with biodegradable solutions keeps cedar siding maintenance safe and environmentally responsible.
Routine cleaning extends the life of your siding and helps you avoid costly repairs or early replacement.

Long Island’s salt air, humidity, and shade wear cedar siding down every year. We bring it back safely, without stripping the wood or cutting corners. We are licensed, insured, rated 4.9 stars, and we only get paid when you are happy with the result. Call today and give your home the exterior it actually deserves.
It depends on your home, the condition of the siding, and whether you want staining done at the same time. Call us or request a quote and we will give you a real number, not a range that could mean anything.
Yes, it is actually the safest way to clean it. We keep the pressure under 1,000 PSI and use cleaners made for wood, so you are not risking the surface just to get it clean.
Every 2 to 3 years works for most homes out here. If your siding sits in the shade most of the day or gets a lot of salt air, you may want to clean it a bit more often.
In most cases, yes. That greying is sun and moisture damage sitting on the surface, not something that has gone all the way through the wood. We use a wood brightening process that brings the natural color back.
We do. If your roof is cedar shake, check out our roof washing page for what that service looks like.
We would recommend it. Cleaning gets rid of the dirt and old finish that stops stain from soaking in properly, so doing it right after a cleaning gets you a better, longer lasting result. We can handle both if you want them done together.
Yes, that is most of what we deal with on any given cedar job out here. Mold and algae are the two most common problems we see, and our soft wash treatment is built to handle both.
The shake is split by hand and has a rougher texture. The shingle is cut by machine, so it is smoother and more uniform. We clean them a little differently because of that.
Most likely, yes. We cover Suffolk and Nassau County pretty widely. Check the areas we serve in the section above, or just give us a call to confirm.
We have worked on a lot of Long Island cedar homes, so we know how the salt air and humidity out here affect it differently than siding somewhere inland. We are licensed, insured, rated 4.9 stars, and we do not ask you to pay unless you are happy with how it turned out.
