Professional House Washing in Appleton, WI

I’m local, and this is my own business. I’ve invested in training and professional equipment so I can do the job right, and my name is on the line with every job. I’m the one who quotes it, does the work, and the one you call if anything comes up. No middlemen, no rotating techs. I’m also insured. For a house wash, that means I look over your home and do the wash myself.

There isn’t much to it. Turn the outdoor water on and unlock any gates. Close all windows and exterior doors. Move vehicles, patio furniture, grills and smaller potted plants away from the house. If something is too heavy to move, leave it and tell me. I’ll work around it.

Keep pets inside and pick up pet waste in the yard, since I walk the property and run hoses across the lawn. If you’ve added exterior windows, remove the screens first. Tell me about leaking windows, damaged siding or newly planted or sensitive plants. You don’t need to be home. The full checklist is on the Prepare for Your Service page.

Yes. Soft washing uses a cleaning solution and lower-pressure application and rinsing to remove common organic growth and exterior buildup without relying on aggressive pressure. House siding isn’t cleaned with the same pressure used on durable surfaces such as concrete. Pressure is dialed down to the right flow to apply the solution and rinse, and your siding is never blasted or scrubbed.

Before I start, I look over the landscaping and the areas around the house. I tape ground-level outlets, cover doorbell cameras and use caution around lights, electrical and higher fixtures. I water the landscaping during the cleaning, and my truck-mounted equipment means only hoses come onto your property. Please move smaller potted plants away from the house, and tell me about newly planted or sensitive plants ahead of time.

A house wash cleans siding, soffits, fascia, gutter faces, downspouts, trim, doors and garage doors, and it includes a window rinse. It cleans organic buildup like algae, mold and mildew.

Oxidation (a chalky film common on older siding), rust, hard-water stains, paint, grease, heavy gutter staining and tiger striping aren’t included unless they’re listed in your estimate. Those can need a separate specialty process, and it’s not always possible to fully correct them. The tiny black dots on siding are most likely artillery fungus, which a house wash usually won’t remove. If I see any of these, I’ll tell you what I’m seeing and what makes sense.

The size and height of the home, the siding and exterior materials, access and layout, and any additional areas or services you want all affect the price. You’ll get one simple price for the job before any work begins, and you can get it online with the instant quote. Starting prices are on my Pricing page. If you add more than one service to the same visit, I price them together.

You’ll get reminders before the visit and a heads-up when I’m on my way. I look over the home, water the landscaping, apply the soft wash solution and rinse it all off. Most house washes take about 1 to 2 hours on site, depending on the home. That’s an estimate, and it varies by home.

Darker siding and trim can show water spots as they dry because of the minerals in the water. My soap mix helps reduce that, but it may not remove it completely. If anything looks off, tell me within 48 hours and send photos.

For most homes, yes. A house wash includes a window rinse, but that rinse isn’t spot-free and isn’t dedicated window cleaning. Adding exterior windows right after your house wash finishes the job, and it comes with bundle pricing. You remove the screens, then I clean the exterior glass with a water-fed pole and purified water, so it dries spot-free. I clean the outside of the windows only. See Exterior Window Cleaning for the details.
