What this service covers

Siding, soffits and trim

Vinyl, brick, stucco and Hardie board all get the low-pressure rinse that lifts algae and mildew without stripping paint or etching the surface.

Gutter faces and downspouts

The green and black streaks down the front of your gutters are algae feeding on runoff. We treat and rinse them clean in the same wash.

Porches, railings and columns

Wrapped posts, painted railings and porch ceilings collect growth fastest in the shade. We bring them back without peeling the finish.

Plant protection, before and after

We pre-soak every plant with clear water, work from the top down, and rinse everything again when we finish. Your landscaping stays green.

Why soft washing is the right call on the coast

High pressure leaves the root of the algae behind, so the house greens back up in a few months. Worse, forcing water at a seam or behind a piece of siding pushes moisture where it was never meant to go, and that kind of damage is slow and expensive to find. Soft washing uses a measured detergent blend at the pressure of a garden hose. The solution does the work, the growth dies at the root, and the rinse lifts it away. The result lasts longer and the wall stays intact.

Questions about house soft washing

Soft washing uses low pressure with a cleaning solution that kills algae and mold at the root. It is built for siding, roofs and other surfaces that high pressure would damage. Pressure washing uses high-pressure water and is for concrete, brick and other hard surfaces. We use the right method for each surface, and on a house that is almost always soft washing.

Most coastal homes do well with a soft wash every 12 to 18 months. Shaded and north-facing walls grow algae faster, so they often need it closer to 12 months. You will see the green or black return on the shaded side first, and that is the signal to book.

No. We soak every plant with clear water before we start, use the mildest effective mix, and rinse everything down again when we finish. Anything that reaches a plant is diluted well below the point of harm. We ask that you keep pets inside and tell us about any delicate plantings.

It depends on square footage, the number of stories and how heavy the growth is. We give you a firm written price before any work starts, with no obligation and no surprise add-ons. A ballpark from a few photos is usually possible on the phone.
