About house washing

The dirt you stop seeing is still working.

Exterior grime builds slowly enough that most homeowners stop noticing it. Algae darkens the north side. Mildew settles into stucco texture. Cobwebs and dust collect under the roofline and around window frames. Then one day the house reads as tired rather than dirty.

The mistake is reaching for high pressure. On stucco it drives water into the wall. On wood it raises the grain. On fiber cement and painted surfaces it takes finish with it. We use a material-specific detergent at low pressure, let it do the work, and rinse gently.

The result is a house that looks maintained rather than freshly blasted — and paint that lasts longer because the biological growth eating into it is gone.

What house washing includes

Three services.
Obsessively executed.

Common house washing calls: full exterior soft wash before listing, stucco and Hardie board cleaning, cobweb and roofline detail, and combined house-and-window packages.

Service 01

Pressure Washing

Hot-water pressure washing that lifts oil, algae, moss, and years of grime from concrete, brick, pavers, exposed aggregate, and stone — without stripping the surface.

  • Driveways & walkways
  • Patios & pool decks
  • Brick & paver restoration
Service 02

Soft Washing

Low-pressure, biodegradable-detergent washing for roofs, siding, stucco, and anything delicate. Kills moss, mildew, and algae at the root — 4–6x longer-lasting than blasting.

  • Roof cleaning
  • House washing & siding
  • Fences & delicate surfaces
Service 03

Gutter Cleaning

Hand-cleared gutters, flushed downspouts, and a full inspection for damage or sagging. The cheapest form of water-damage insurance your home will ever get.

  • Full debris removal
  • Downspout flushing
  • Damage inspection report
Service 04

Window Cleaning

Streak-free exterior window washing for residential and light commercial properties. We reach the high ones, detail the frames, and leave glass you can actually see through again.

  • Exterior residential windows
  • Skylights & solariums
  • Frames, sills & tracks

Common questions

Questions we actually get.

How much does house washing cost?

Most single-family house washes on the Peninsula land between a few hundred and a thousand dollars depending on size, stories, and siding material. Quotes are free and take under 24 hours.

Is soft washing safe for stucco and painted siding?

Yes — that's the point of it. Low pressure plus the right detergent lifts algae and grime without driving water into stucco or stripping paint.

How often should I wash my house?

Every 1–2 years for most Peninsula homes. North-facing walls and homes under heavy tree cover grow algae faster and may need annual washing.

Will washing remove black streaks and green algae?

Yes. Those streaks are biological growth, not permanent stains. Soft washing kills the organism, so surfaces stay clean longer than pressure-blasting alone.

Do you wash houses before painting or selling?

Frequently. A wash is the standard prep before exterior painting, and pre-listing washes are one of our most common calls from Peninsula agents.

Do I need to be home during the wash?

No. As long as we have access to water and the areas being cleaned, most customers simply get before-and-after photos when we're done.
