A full exterior house wash that strips green algae, mildew and dirt off the siding, walls and trim - and brings your home's color back. Done with our soft-wash method, never high pressure.
We house wash with the soft-wash method: low pressure plus biodegradable chemistry. The detergents dissolve algae, mildew, mold, and pollen at the root and lift the dirt, then we rinse it clean. No blasting your siding with high pressure, which can force water behind the panels, crack stucco, or strip paint.
Vinyl, wood, fiber cement, and painted siding, plus brick and stucco walls, trim, soffits, columns, and screen enclosures. The full exterior envelope of the home.
Every 12 to 18 months for Metro Atlanta humidity and pollen. Heavily shaded homes may need it every 12 months; sun-exposed homes can stretch to 18 to 24 months.
12 to 18 month results. If visible regrowth appears on a treated surface in under 12 months, we return.
A house wash is the full exterior envelope of the home, not one wall. Vinyl, wood, fiber cement and painted siding, brick and stucco walls, trim, soffits, columns and screen enclosures. Every surface gets the same treatment: the green and black algae, mildew, mold, spider webs, pollen and dirt that build up on Metro Atlanta exteriors are dissolved at the root and rinsed clean, and the original color of the siding comes back.
Before we start we pre-rinse the landscaping, we use biodegradable detergents, and we rinse the beds again after the wash, so plants and grass are protected. Concrete is a different job: the driveway, walkway and patio get pressure washing, because hard surfaces take pressure and siding does not. If you want the siding, gutters, windows and concrete handled in one visit, that is the exterior cleaning package.
The most common siding in Metro Atlanta and the one most often damaged by the wrong method. Direct high-pressure spray on vinyl can force water behind the panels into the wall cavity and damage caulk seals. We wash vinyl with low pressure and chemistry, so the algae leaves and the panels stay sealed.
High pressure strips paint and lifts the finish. Soft washing was developed for exactly this: the detergents do the work, the rinse is gentle, and the paint stays where it is.
Fiber cement siding is washed the same way as painted siding: chemistry first, low-pressure rinse, no mechanical force on the finish.
Brick walls, especially older lime-mortar brick, lose mortar to high pressure. Stucco can be blown apart at the keying points and trap moisture. Both are soft-washed on a house wash. If the brick needs more than a wash, see brick and masonry cleaning and restoration.
House washing is the job. Soft washing is how we do it. Biodegradable detergents and surfactants at low pressure dissolve algae, mildew, mold and oxidation at the source instead of rinsing them off the surface, which is why a house wash lasts 12 to 18 months rather than a few weeks. High pressure on siding strips paint, forces water behind the siding and damages seals, so it never touches your walls. Pressure belongs on concrete, brick paths and patios. That line is the whole difference, and we explain it in full in pressure wash vs soft wash.
House washing your siding is done with the soft-wash method - low pressure plus biodegradable chemistry - because high pressure can force water behind siding, crack stucco, or strip paint. Pressure washing is the right tool for hard surfaces like driveways and concrete. We use the correct method for each surface.
House washing is the service: a full exterior wash of the siding, walls, trim, soffits, columns and screen enclosures. Soft washing is the method we use to do it: biodegradable detergents at low pressure. Every house wash we do is a soft wash. The soft washing page explains the method and the other surfaces it is used on, like roofs.
The green and black algae, mildew, mold, spider webs, pollen, and dirt that build up on Metro Atlanta exteriors. A house wash restores the original color of your siding and dramatically improves curb appeal.
Yes. A house wash covers the full exterior envelope: vinyl, wood, fiber cement and painted siding, brick and stucco walls, trim, soffits, columns and screen enclosures. Driveways, walkways and patios are pressure washed separately, and the exterior cleaning package combines siding, gutters, windows and concrete in a single visit.
Yes. The soft-wash method is safe for vinyl, wood, fiber cement, painted siding, brick, and stucco. We pre-rinse landscaping, use biodegradable detergents, and rinse again after the wash, so plants and grass are protected.
Yes, and it is the only method that should be used on vinyl. Direct high-pressure spray can strip paint, force water behind the siding into the wall cavity and damage caulk seals. Soft washing uses chemistry at low pressure, so the algae is dissolved and the panels stay sealed.
Yes. Brick walls and stucco are part of a house wash and are soft-washed, never pressure washed. High pressure erodes mortar on brick walls, especially older lime-mortar brick, and can blow stucco apart at the keying points and trap moisture. Brick walkways and paths are a different surface and are pressure washed.
No. Those are the two things high-pressure washing does to siding, and the reason we do not use it on walls. A soft wash at the correct low pressure and detergent concentration cleans painted exteriors without stripping paint, lifting the finish or pushing water behind the panels.
Every 12 to 18 months for most Metro Atlanta homes, given the humidity and pollen. Heavily shaded homes may need it every 12 months; sun-exposed homes can stretch to 18 to 24 months.
