Our House Washing Process
We do a low pressure chemical clean on your home. We spray a professional cleaning solution on the siding and let it dwell for 15 to 20 minutes. Then we come back and rinse everything off. That's it. Your house looks brand new.
This is called soft washing. We don't use high pressure on your siding. High pressure can blow water in behind vinyl, crack Hardie board, damage window seals, and strip paint. We use large volume machines that give us plenty of water flow to rinse your home clean without any of that risk. The only time we use high pressure is on concrete or foundation work.
All of your plants and landscaping are safe. We pre-soak everything before we start and rinse again when we're done. Nothing we use is harmful to your plants, pets, or lawn.
A house wash covers everything from the roof down. All siding, under your eaves, dormers, fascia, all gutters exterior, soffits, all around your windows and doors. The whole house. If you have a detached garage or screened porch we can add that on too.
Most homes in the Lexington area run between $399 and $850 depending on size, number of stories, and how heavy the buildup is. We quote every job individually and the price we give you is the price you pay.
Most customers call us about every one to two years to have their house soft washed. Central Kentucky's humidity grows algae and mildew fast, especially on north-facing walls and shaded areas. Once you see the difference you won't want to let it go much longer than that.
Common Questions About House Washing
Will the chemicals hurt my plants or pets? No. We pre-soak all landscaping before and after. Once everything is rinsed and dry it's completely safe for kids, pets, and plants.
How often should I have my house washed? Every one to two years is what we recommend in Central Kentucky. Shaded areas and north-facing walls may need it sooner.
Do I need to be home? No. As long as we have access to a water spigot and your windows are closed, we can take care of everything. We'll send you before and after photos when we're done.
Is soft washing safe for all siding types? Yes. We clean vinyl, Hardie board, brick, stone, stucco, and painted wood. We adjust our solution and technique based on what your home is made of.
