Architectural Restoration & Low-Pressure Roof Care for Skaneateles Estates

Six Mile Exterior Cleaning Solutions brings warranty-safe soft washing, roof care, and permanent architectural lighting to homes around Skaneateles Lake, from historic village properties to lakefront estates. The same crew, the same standards, every time.

A Crew That Already Works on Homes Like Yours

Earlier this year, a homeowner on a premium Skaneateles property hired Six Mile to restore the brick paver patio and walkways outside their home. It was a multi-day job: a pressure wash to lift years of algae and staining, fresh polymeric sand worked into every joint to stop weeds and stabilize the pavers, and a professional-grade sealer to bring the color back and protect it for years to come.

That is the standard we bring to every property we service here, whether the job is a single roof or a full exterior refresh. We are based in Ithaca, and we keep dedicated, reserved service days on the calendar for Skaneateles throughout the month.

Built for Skaneateles Lakefront and Historic Homes

Generic exterior cleaning treats every house the same. Yours probably should not be treated that way.

Historic Village Homes

More than half the homes in Skaneateles went up before 1940. Original wood siding, old masonry, and period trim call for a gentler hand than a vinyl-sided ranch, and soft washing is built for exactly that.

Lakefront Properties

Homes along Skaneateles Lake deal with constant moisture from lake-effect weather: algae on the shaded side, mildew under the eaves, hard water spotting on the windows that face the water. Those conditions are the baseline for homes on this lake, and they shape how we approach every job here.

Warranty-Safe Roof Care

Every roof we clean uses low-pressure soft washing. That keeps your shingle manufacturer's warranty intact instead of voiding it the way high-pressure washing can.

Worried about your shingle warranty? Soft washing is the method manufacturers actually approve. See the full answer on our roof cleaning page.
