House Washing — Palo Alto, CA

House Washing in Palo Alto, done right.

An Eichler wall and a Professorville Victorian have exactly one thing in common: high pressure ruins both. We soft wash Palo Alto homes with low pressure and the right detergent for each surface — original wood, historic stucco, delicate panels — and the grime leaves while the finish stays.

How we work in Palo Alto

House Washing, the right way.

We wash houses with low-pressure soft washing: a material-specific detergent does the work, then a gentle rinse carries the grime away. Stucco, painted wood, fiber cement, and brick each get their own approach — never a one-pressure-fits-all blast.

A full wash covers siding, trim, eaves, and cobweb detail under the roofline. The biological growth dies at the root, so the house stays clean longer and paint lasts longer.

Palo Alto specifics: Palo Alto's historic districts — Professorville, Old Palo Alto, Crescent Park — carry century-old brick and heritage oaks, while Eichler neighborhoods demand the low-pressure care their siding and flat roofs were never designed to survive without. We work Professorville, Old Palo Alto, Crescent Park, College Terrace, and Midtown regularly.

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.

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
They washed the whole house and nothing was damaged — which was my worry going in. The stucco came out perfectly even.

Palo Alto questions

Asked constantly.

How much does house washing cost in Palo Alto?

Most Palo Alto single-family homes land between a few hundred and a thousand dollars depending on size, stories, and siding. Free quotes within 24 hours.

Will soft washing damage my paint or stucco?

No — avoiding that damage is the point. Low pressure keeps water out of stucco and finish on the wood.

How often should I wash my house?

Every 1–2 years for most Palo Alto homes; shaded, north-facing walls grow algae faster and may want annual attention.

Do you wash houses before painting or listing?

Constantly — a soft wash is standard prep before exterior paint, and pre-listing washes are one of our most common Palo Alto calls.
