What we do in Rocklin
Every exterior service, one Rocklin crew
Most homes here need more than one thing cleaned, and lining up a separate contractor for the driveway, the siding, the roof, and the gutters gets old fast. Cable Pressure Washing and Solar Panel Cleaning is a father-and-son team based in Rocklin, and we handle the full exterior in one visit. This page walks through each service we offer, what it costs, and how we do it without damaging your property. For a quick general overview of pressure washing in Rocklin, the home page covers it. Below is the detail on each individual service.
The thread running through all of it: we match the method to the material. Hard concrete can take real pressure. Siding, roofs, and anything with algae on it cannot. Getting that wrong is how people end up with etched concrete and water behind their siding, so we pick the approach by surface, every time.
Concrete & driveways
Concrete & driveway cleaning in Rocklin
Driveways, walkways, and concrete patios collect tire marks, oil, and a gray film of algae that builds up on the shaded sections. We run a commercial surface cleaner across the slab so it comes out even, with no wand streaks or zebra striping. Oil and rust stains get a targeted pretreatment before the main pass.
Concrete and pavers are durable enough to take higher pressure, so this is one of the few surfaces where real PSI is the right call. Driveways in Rocklin typically run $150 to $300 depending on size and how much buildup has set in.
House washing
House washing & soft washing in Rocklin
Your siding should never be blasted with high pressure. Stucco, vinyl, and painted wood all hold algae, mold, and mildew on the north and shaded sides, and the fix is soft washing: low pressure plus detergents that kill the growth at the root instead of just blowing the surface layer off. It looks clean longer because the growth is dead, not just rinsed off the surface for a week.
We price a house wash by home size. A smaller single-story runs about $300 to $450, a mid-size home $450 to $700, and a larger two-story $650 to $1,000. The crew pre-wets and rinses your landscaping on every job, so the plants along the foundation are protected while the walls get cleaned.
Roof cleaning
Roof cleaning in Rocklin
Those black streaks running down a Rocklin roof are a type of algae called Gloeocapsa magma, and they spread on the side that stays damp longest. We clear them with a soft wash, never a pressure wash. High pressure strips the granules off shingles and can void the manufacturer warranty, so it has no place on a roof.
Soft washing kills the algae and moss with a detergent solution and a gentle rinse, and the streaks keep fading for days after we leave. Roof cleaning runs about $450 to $700 depending on pitch, size, and access. If you want the background on what causes the staining, our guide to black streaks on a roof goes deeper.
Roofs and gutters go together.
If we are already up clearing roof algae, having us clean the gutters on the same visit saves a second trip and usually qualifies for the bundle discount.
Patios, decks & pool decks
Patio, deck & pool deck cleaning in Rocklin
Patios and pool decks get slick when algae builds up in the grout lines and on the shaded edges, which is a real safety issue around a pool. We clean stamped concrete, pavers, and pool decks at the right pressure for the material, so the joint sand stays put and the surface keeps its texture. Patio and paver cleaning generally runs $120 to $500 depending on square footage.
Wood and composite decks get a softer touch. Too much pressure furs up wood grain and chews into composite boards, so decks are cleaned at lower pressure with the appropriate detergent. Deck cleaning typically lands between $120 and $300.
Fences & sidewalks
Fence & sidewalk cleaning in Rocklin
A wood or vinyl fence picks up algae and grime on the side facing the sprinklers, and a careful wash brings the color back without scarring the grain. Fence cleaning starts at $0.35 per linear foot for one side, with the $150 minimum applying like it does on every job.
Sidewalks and walkways are usually cleaned alongside the driveway. As a standalone job they run about $0.20 per square foot, or we add them to another service for roughly $60 to $100, which is the cheaper way to do it.
Gutter cleaning
Gutter cleaning in Rocklin
Clogged gutters back up, overflow against the fascia, and dump water where it should not go. We clear the leaves and debris out of your gutters from the ground so they drain the way they were built to. This is debris clearing, not gutter-face brightening, and we keep it ground-based for safety.
Gutter cleaning is priced at $1.00 per linear foot with the same $150 minimum. It pairs naturally with a roof soft wash or a house wash, since the crew is already working the exterior.
Solar panel cleaning
Solar panel cleaning in Rocklin
Solar is half of what we do, and Rocklin gives panels plenty to deal with: spring pollen, summer dust, and the film that builds up between rains. That layer cuts how much power the array produces. We clean panels from the ground using deionized water and water-fed poles, so nobody walks on the modules and there is no tap-water spotting left behind when it dries.
Pricing is $15 per panel with the $150 minimum. We only take jobs we can reach safely from the ground, and we turn down anything that would require walking the roof. If you are weighing whether a cleaning is worth it, our breakdown of whether cleaning solar panels helps and the solar cleaning statistics lay out the numbers.
Soft wash vs. pressure wash
The right method for each surface
The rule is simple: hard, mineral surfaces can take real pressure, while anything porous, painted, or living with algae gets a low-pressure soft wash instead. Getting that backward is what damages a house. Here is how we match the method to each surface in Rocklin.
| Surface | Method we use | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Driveways & concrete | Pressure, surface cleaner | Dense and durable, so it takes high PSI for an even finish. |
| Pavers & patios | Controlled pressure | Enough to clean, gentle enough to keep the joint sand in place. |
| Siding & stucco | Soft wash | Low pressure plus detergent lifts algae without driving water behind the surface. |
| Roofs | Soft wash only | High pressure strips shingle granules and can void the warranty. |
| Wood & composite decks | Low pressure + detergent | Prevents furring on wood and gouging on composite boards. |
| Fences | Low to moderate pressure | Restores the color without scarring the grain. |
| Solar panels | Pure-water rinse, no pressure | Protects the glass and keeps the manufacturer warranty intact. |
Stubborn spots get a pretreatment before the main pass and a post-treatment after, which slows how fast the algae comes back. The result lasts longer and nothing gets etched or stripped along the way.

Around town
Pressure washing across Rocklin
We clean exteriors all over Rocklin, from the newer developments out at Whitney Ranch and Clover Valley to the established streets near Sunset Boulevard and Quarry Park downtown. We cover both Rocklin zip codes, 95677 and 95765, including the neighborhoods around Sierra College and Johnson-Springview Park. Wherever you are in town, the local conditions come down to the same handful of problems: foothill pollen that coats everything in spring, irrigation overspray that leaves hard-water spots, and algae that creeps across the shaded north sides of homes and patios.

- Stanford Ranch
- Sunset Whitney
- Whitney Oaks
- Springfield
- Clover Valley
- Downtown Rocklin
Rocklin earned its "Granite City" nickname from the old quarries, and a lot of homes here show it in stamped concrete, granite hardscape, and paver patios that need the right touch to clean without stripping the surface. Timing matters too, more than people expect. Cleaning right after the spring pollen drop, and again before the winter rains, keeps buildup from setting in and turning slick on walkways. We mapped out what to clean and when in our Rocklin seasonal exterior cleaning calendar. Many homes here also sit in HOAs, so we work around your timing and keep noise expectations clear with the neighbors.
