Why Tabacon
Two decades of working on Hudson Valley properties, and a few things we do differently.
Roofs and siding get low-pressure soft washing; driveways and concrete get power washing. Matching the method to the surface is what keeps a clean from turning into damage.
Working here since 2003 means we know what Hudson Valley weather does to wood, siding and roofs — and what it takes to bring them back.
The same crew handles a single driveway and a full commercial building, so the standard does not change with the size of the job.
Biodegradable cleaning solutions and low-moisture methods, chosen so they are safe around your planting, your pets and your people.
Where We Work
Family-owned and based in the Hudson Valley. From Mahopac outward, we clean homes and businesses across these communities:
Putnam County
Mahopac is a hamlet in the Town of Carmel, in Putnam County, built around Lake Mahopac. It began as a lake resort for New Yorkers in the 1800s, and the houses still show it: smaller lakeside cottages, many of them since turned into year-round homes, sit close to the water on narrow lots, while the streets climbing away from the lake fill with ranches, raised ranches, split-levels and colonials on wooded lots. Smaller lakes and ponds are scattered across the rest of the hamlet. Water on one side and trees on the other is what shapes exterior cleaning here.
A lot of our work in Mahopac is on houses that face the water. The lake-facing side takes the wind and the damp, so it is usually the dirtiest wall on the house, and the deck, patio and windows on that side get the most use and the most grime. We soft wash siding and roofs at low pressure, which cleans vinyl, wood and older cottage siding without forcing water behind it. Because the rinse water on a lakefront lot can run toward the shoreline, we use biodegradable solutions and wet down and rinse the plantings, so the lake and the garden are looked after. Along Route 6 we also clean storefronts, sidewalks and entryways for the shops and offices in the hamlet's business district.
The lake sets the calendar. Spring brings pollen from the wooded hills, and it collects on the lake-facing windows and railings first. Summer humidity off the water keeps shaded walls, decks and roofs damp, so green algae and black mildew grow quickly, and lakeside patios and steps pick up dirt through the busy boating season. In autumn the leaves from the hillsides fill the gutters and blow onto decks, and in winter the wind across the frozen lake drives snow and grit against the waterfront walls, leaving streaks for the spring wash.

Questions
It takes the weather. Wind coming across Lake Mahopac carries moisture, pollen and grit straight at that wall, and it stays damper than the rest of the house, so algae and grime build up there first. A house wash evens it out, and some lakefront owners just have that side cleaned more often.
We plan for it. We use biodegradable cleaning solutions, wet down plantings before we start and rinse them afterwards, and on a lakefront lot we work out where the rinse water will run before we begin. Tell us how close the house is to the shoreline when you ask for a quote.
Yes. Older cottages often have wood siding or several layers of paint, and high pressure can strip paint or push water behind the boards. We wash them at low pressure with a soft wash, which takes off the grime and green growth gently.
Deck cleaning lifts the algae, mildew and grime that grow on boards kept damp by the lake air, which makes the deck less slippery and gets it ready for stain or sealer if you plan one. Many lakefront decks here do best with a clean every year before the summer season starts.
Usually, yes. Narrow lots are common around Lake Mahopac. A soft wash doesn't need much room, and we work carefully around fences, steps down to the water and the neighbors' plantings. If one side can only be reached through a neighbor's yard or from a steep slope, mention it when you ask for a quote.
Yes. We clean storefronts, entryways, sidewalks and windows for businesses in Mahopac's business district, and we can schedule the work outside opening hours so it doesn't get in customers' way.
Yes. We work across Mahopac, including Mahopac Falls and the homes around Lake Secor, and throughout the Town of Carmel and nearby Putnam Valley.
