If you live in a planned community in Chesapeake like Cahoon Plantation, Etheridge Lakes or Grassfield, or in Virginia Beach's Red Mill Farm, Ocean Lakes or Lago Mar, you may have gotten the letter: a notice that your siding, fence or driveway needs cleaning. Don't stress. It's one of the easiest HOA issues to fix.
What HOAs usually flag
- Green or black siding, usually on the north or shady side of the house
- Dingy white vinyl fences with green algae along the bottom rail
- Dark, stained driveways and sidewalks
- Black streaks on the roof (in some communities)
What it costs to fix
- House wash: $189–$269 for most single-family homes
- Vinyl fence: $3 per 8-ft section (one side) or $5 (both sides)
- Wood fence: $2/linear ft under 50 ft, $1/linear ft over 50 ft
- Driveway: $0.20/sq ft under 1,000 sq ft, $0.15/sq ft over
For an exact total, use the Quote-o-Meter. Many neighbors bundle the house and fence in one visit.
Beat your deadline
HOA letters usually give a deadline. We're open 7 days a week, 6AM–8PM, and often have openings within a few days. Mention the deadline in your quote request and we'll do our best to fit you in.
Split the fence with your neighbor
Shared fences are common in Chesapeake neighborhoods. With your neighbor's OK, we can clean both sides at the both-sides rate, and many neighbors split the cost.
Keep it from coming back
Algae comes back fastest on shady walls and fence lines near water and woods, common around the Great Dismal Swamp and the Northwest River. A yearly house wash and fence cleaning every year or two usually keeps you off the HOA's list for good.
We serve every Chesapeake neighborhood, from Great Bridge and Hickory to Western Branch and Deep Creek. Get started with fence cleaning in Chesapeake or house washing in Chesapeake.
