Cleaner Siding • Better Curb Appeal

Make the Exterior Look Cared For Again.

Green growth, dark streaks and dirt can slowly build up on siding, soffits and trim. The change happens a little at a time, so it is easy to forget how much brighter the exterior used to look.

House washing removes common organic buildup and surface dirt from the exterior. The goal is a cleaner home without treating the siding like a concrete driveway.

I adjust the cleaning approach for the home and pay attention to the surrounding landscaping, windows, doors and other exterior materials throughout the job.

Care Around Your Property

Clean the Home. Protect What’s Around It.

House washing happens around plants, grass, windows, doors, lights and other exterior finishes. Those areas are part of the job too, so I keep them in mind before, during and after the wash.

STEP 1

Prepare the Property

I look over the exterior, check windows and doors, identify sensitive areas and make sure the work area is ready before cleaning begins.

STEP 2

Water & Protect Landscaping

Grass, plants and landscaping around the work area are watered and rinsed as needed throughout the cleaning process.

STEP 3

Treat & Rinse the Home

The exterior is treated at lower pressure and then thoroughly rinsed to remove loosened buildup and cleaning solution.

The Goal Is a Clean Surface, Not Maximum Pressure.

The cleaning solution loosens and treats organic growth so the siding can be rinsed clean without relying on aggressive pressure.

This works especially well on the green algae and darker organic buildup commonly found on shaded siding around Wisconsin homes.

Good to know: darker siding and trim can show water spots. Darker siding and trim colors can show water spots after drying because of the mineral content in the water supply. I use a premium mix and soap that reduce overall spotting caused by water quality, but they don’t eliminate it 100%. Curious how your home will dry? Try a quick water test: spray part of an area and wait for it to dry. Exterior windows are rinsed as part of the house wash, and for most homes I recommend an exterior window wash right after for the glass.
Good to know: tiny black dots on siding, trim and windows. If you see tiny, hard black dots on your siding, trim or windows, it’s most likely artillery fungus. Many homeowners think it’s bug droppings, but it’s actually a fungus that grows in mulch beds and shoots tiny dots onto nearby surfaces, usually the lower parts of the home near landscaping. The dots stick firmly, so house washing and window cleaning usually won’t remove them. If you notice them on your home, mention it in your quote request so I can let you know what to expect up front.

Clear Expectations Before the Work Starts

Not Every Mark on the Exterior Is the Same.

A standard house wash is designed for organic growth and general exterior dirt. Some stains come from the material itself or from a different source and need another type of cleaning.

Specialty Stains Are Looked At Separately.

If I see something that a normal house wash is unlikely to remove, I’ll let you know before the work begins.

Oxidation or chalky siding
Rust or clay staining
Mineral or hard-water deposits
Grease, paint or other specialty contamination
Heavy gutter-face striping or stubborn discoloration

Some specialty cleaning may be available separately depending on the material and condition. If it does not make sense to treat it, I’ll tell you that too.

Property-Specific Pricing

What Affects House Washing Pricing?

Every home is a little different. Instead of publishing a broad price range that may not fit your property, I price the actual home and the services you want completed.

House washing pricing is based on the size and height of the home, exterior materials, accessibility and the overall scope of the project. A simple one-story home and a larger, more complex multi-story home can require very different amounts of time and care.

Easy to Quote.
Easy to Schedule.

I’ll confirm what is included, answer any remaining questions and get the house wash scheduled.

House Washing FAQs

Common Questions.

These are some of the questions homeowners most often ask before scheduling exterior house washing.

What is soft washing?

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.

Do you pressure wash vinyl siding?

House siding is normally cleaned with a lower-pressure approach instead of the same pressure used on durable surfaces such as concrete.

What does a standard house wash include?

A standard house wash generally includes siding, trim, soffits, fascia, exterior gutter faces, downspouts, garage doors and appropriate areas around exterior windows and doors.

How do you protect plants and landscaping?

I look over the landscaping around the home before cleaning and water or rinse plants, grass and other areas as needed throughout the job.

Are exterior windows included?

Exterior windows receive a rinse as part of the house wash, but this isn’t dedicated exterior window cleaning. For most homes, I recommend an exterior window wash right after your house washing. You remove the screens, then I scrub the exterior glass with a water-fed pole and rinse it with purified water from my 4-stage RO-DI (reverse osmosis/deionized) system. In plain words, it filters the minerals out of the water, so the glass dries spot-free. Baked-on minerals from neglected windows or past sprinkler overspray won’t come off with a maintenance clean, since that takes window restoration. It isn’t traditional window cleaning, but it’s great for general buildup and routine upkeep.

Can house washing leave water spots on dark siding or trim?

It’s good to know that darker siding and trim colors can show water spots after drying because of the mineral content in the water supply. I use a premium mix and soap that reduce overall spotting caused by water quality, but they don’t eliminate it 100%. If you’d like to see how your home dries, try a quick water test: spray part of an area and wait for it to dry.

Will house washing remove the little black dots on my siding?

Usually not. Those tiny, hard black dots are most likely artillery fungus. Many homeowners think it’s bug droppings, but it’s a fungus from mulch beds that shoots tiny dots onto siding, trim and windows, and the dots stick firmly. House washing and window cleaning take care of dirt, spider webs and black streaks, but they usually won’t remove artillery fungus dots. If you see them on your home, mention it in your quote request so I can let you know what to expect up front.

Will house washing remove oxidation?

Standard house washing should not be expected to remove oxidation or chalking. Oxidized siding can require a much more involved specialty cleaning process and is evaluated separately.

Will house washing remove rust or mineral stains?

Rust, clay, mineral deposits, grease, paint and other specialty stains are different from normal organic buildup and may need separate treatment.

Do I need to be home for house washing?

Usually not. As long as the water is on, the exterior is accessible and the preparation instructions have been completed, most house-washing projects can be completed while you are away.

How should I prepare before house washing?

Close windows and doors, move personal items away from the work area and park vehicles away from the surfaces being cleaned. Any other job-specific instructions will be provided before service.
