Don’t Let Oxidation Ruin Your Vinyl Siding: What Causes Striping & How We Fix It in Roanoke, VA

If you’ve ever noticed dull, chalky streaks or vertical tiger stripes on your vinyl siding after a house wash — you’re likely looking at oxidation striping. This is a common problem in Roanoke, VA and the surrounding areas, especially on homes that haven’t had regular maintenance. The good news? Picture Perfect Pressure Washing offers professional oxidation removal services to restore your siding the right way.

🧼 What Is Oxidation on Vinyl Siding?

Oxidation occurs when the top layer of vinyl siding degrades from years of UV exposure, heat, and weather. This layer becomes a chalky film — and if it's not treated correctly, it becomes very noticeable after a pressure wash.

Vinyl Siding: What Causes Striping

This is especially obvious when inexperienced companies or homeowners use high pressure or skip proper pre-treatment — leaving behind oxidation striping or making it worse. Instead of a clean look, you're left with patchy siding that looks worse than before (images at bottom of page.)

⚠️ Signs You’re Dealing With Oxidation:

• Siding looks dull or faded even after washing

• You see streaks, stripes, or blotchy areas

• Chalky residue appears when you rub the siding

• The top 3–6 feet of siding looks worse than the bottom

  
  

✅ Our Oxidation Removal Process (Roanoke, Salem, Vinton & More)

At Picture Perfect Pressure Washing, we know how to identify and safely treat oxidation. Our process includes:

1. Oxidation Assessment – We inspect your vinyl siding for oxidation, UV damage, and existing pressure wash streaks.

2. Safe Soft Washing – Our low-pressure soft wash system ensures your siding is not further damaged during cleaning.

3. Specialized Chemical Treatment – We use commercial-grade oxidation removers and surfactants to lift and eliminate the chalky residue.

4. Uniform Finishing – We apply the treatment evenly to avoid future striping and ensure your siding looks consistent top to bottom.

   
   

This method restores color, shine, and uniformity to your siding — safely and effectively.

🚫 Don’t Make It Worse with High Pressure

Using a high-pressure washer on oxidized siding will often remove some of the oxidation but leave behind worse tiger striping than before. Even some professional companies in the Roanoke area make this mistake.

If you’ve already had a bad wash job and are left with stripes or blotches, don’t worry — we specialize in correction jobs too. We’ve helped many homeowners in 24012, 24014, 24179, and surrounding zip codes fix these exact issues.
