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.
Your request is on its way to Nick. We'll be in touch within 24 hours.
Real before & afters from this service across the Peninsula.
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.
Common Burlingame service calls: moss removal from shaded roofs, brick walkway restoration in Burlingame Park, driveway cleaning in Easton Addition, and gutter clearing across the whole city after the rainy season.
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.
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.
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.
They washed the whole house and nothing was damaged — which was my worry going in. The stucco came out perfectly even.

No — avoiding that damage is the point. Low pressure keeps water out of stucco and finish on the wood.
Every 1–2 years for most Palo Alto homes; shaded, north-facing walls grow algae faster and may want annual attention.
Constantly — a soft wash is standard prep before exterior paint, and pre-listing washes are one of our most common Palo Alto calls.
