Brick is one of the nicest things you can put on a building. It adds character, depth, and that “finished” look you don’t get from basic siding. But in our Jersey Shore climate, even the best brick eventually starts to look tired—dark streaks, green haze, white residue, and general dinginess.
That’s where a professional brick cleaning and brick washing service comes in.
From Manahawkin, Barnegat, and Toms River up through Brick, Lakewood, Middletown, and other Monmouth County towns, our team helps homeowners and business owners restore brick exteriors, steps, walkways, and accent walls so they look sharp again—and stay that way longer.
Why Brick Needs Professional Cleaning
Brick is durable, but it’s also porous. Over time, it absorbs:
- Dirt and pollutants from the air
- Moisture that encourages algae, mildew, and moss
- Rust stains, irrigation marks, or efflorescence (white, chalky deposits)
You can scrub and spray all you want, but without the right approach, you’ll usually just clean the surface dust while the stains and growth remain rooted in the brick and mortar.
DIY pressure washing may seem tempting, but too much pressure can:
- Chip or crack bricks
- Erode mortar joints
- Force water into gaps and behind walls
That’s why our brick cleaning company relies on soft washing instead of blasting away with high pressure.
Soft Washing: The Right Way to Clean Brick
We use a soft wash system to clean brick on homes and commercial buildings throughout Ocean and Monmouth County.
Soft washing combines:
- Low-pressure water – gentle on brick and mortar
- Biodegradable cleaning solutions – formulated to break down:
- Algae and mildew
- Organic staining
- General grime and pollutants
Instead of just knocking the top off the dirt, soft washing treats the growth at the root, so your brick stays cleaner for longer and isn’t scarred in the process.
We use this method for:
- Brick home exteriors and partial facades
- Chimneys and fireplace chases
- Brick steps and entryways
- Walkways and garden walls
- Commercial brick storefronts, low-rise buildings, and office exteriors
The result is brick that looks refreshed—not sandblasted.
Brick Cleaning for Homes & Businesses
If your property is a year-round home in Toms River or Lakewood, a shore house on Long Beach Island, or a business in a busy Monmouth County corridor, brick surfaces are front and center for curb appeal.
Our brick cleaning and brick washing services help:
- Business owners – present a clean, professional storefront or office exterior for customers and clients.
- Homeowners – brighten up façades, steps, and walkways before selling, repainting trim, or welcoming guests.
- Property managers & HOAs – keep common areas, entry monuments, and building fronts looking consistent and well-kept.
Because brick is part of your exterior envelope, a proper cleaning can also be combined with:
- House washing (vinyl, stucco, or mixed surfaces)
- Roof soft washing
- Driveway and paver cleaning
One visit, multiple surfaces checked off the list.
Brick Washing That Protects as It Cleans
Our process is built around three goals:
- Restore color and clarity – Removing dark staining, green growth, and surface film so the natural brick tone comes back.
- Protect the material – Avoiding harsh methods that chew up mortar or abrade the face of the brick.
- Help prevent future damage – By eliminating the organisms that slowly degrade brick over time.
We don’t treat brick like concrete. The pressure, solutions, and techniques we use are chosen specifically for clay brick and mortar so you get a deep clean without trading long-term durability for short-term appearance.

FAQ – Brick Cleaning & Brick Washing
Will pressure washing damage my brick?
Used incorrectly, yes—it can. High pressure can chip brick faces and erode mortar. That’s why we rely on soft washing for brick. We use low pressure and targeted cleaning solutions to protect the masonry while still removing stains and growth.
How often should brick be professionally cleaned?
Most brick surfaces in our coastal climate benefit from a professional cleaning every 3–5 years, depending on shade, tree cover, and exposure to road grime or salt air. If you start seeing persistent green growth or dark streaks, it’s a good time to schedule a wash.
Can you remove all stains from old brick?
We can dramatically improve most staining from algae, mildew, and general grime. Some deep rust, paint, or long-term chemical stains may not disappear completely, especially on older brick, but we’ll always be honest about what kind of results you can expect before we start.
Is brick cleaning safe for the rest of my exterior?
Yes. We protect nearby surfaces, plants, and features and rinse thoroughly as we work. If we’re also cleaning siding, gutters, or concrete at the same visit, we stage the job so each surface gets the right treatment without creating new streaks or residue.
Do I need to be home during the service?
Not necessarily. As long as we have clear access and a working water source, many homeowners schedule brick cleaning while they’re at work or out for the day. We can walk you through everything in advance and provide photos afterward if you’d like.
