A soft wash, not a blast
We use a soft wash, which means low water pressure. High pressure can force water behind siding, gouge wood and knock mortar out of brick, so we take the gentle route.
A soft wash lifts dirt, dust, mildew and green algae streaks. It's gentler on paint, trim, windows and screens than a high-pressure spray.
Roof, siding and driveway
They used a soft wash technique on the roof and siding to safely get rid of all the buildup without any damage, and a standard power wash on the concrete driveway and walkways that made them look brand new.
Can you power wash a house?
Not with a strong spray. The house itself gets a low-pressure soft wash. Driveways and walkways can take more, so they get a regular pressure wash.
When a house wash helps
- Green or dark streaks on the shady side of the house.
- Dust and dirt that make the paint look dull.
- Homes under trees or next to sprinklers.
- You're getting ready to sell, or your HOA sent a notice about dirty siding.
Where these facts come from
What happens on the day
- Before we come, close windows and doors on the sides we're washing, bring pets in, and move planters and small items if you can.

What changes the price
The price depends on the size of the house, how many stories it has, how much buildup there is and how easy each wall is to reach. Adding the roof, gutters or driveway changes it too. We don't publish a price list, and every quote is free.
Photos help
Take one photo of each side of the house you want washed, from the yard or the street, plus a close-up of the dirtiest spot. Tell us if it's one or two stories.

House washing questions
What is soft washing?
Soft washing is a low-pressure way to clean surfaces that a strong spray can damage, like roofs and house siding. The water comes out gently instead of as a hard jet. We use it on tile roofs and house exteriors, and we use regular pressure washing on concrete.
Will a soft wash hurt my plants or my paint?
Tell us about any plants you care about when you book. A soft wash uses low pressure, so it's gentler on paint, trim, windows and screens than a high-pressure spray.
How often should I clean my house, roof or driveway?
There's no set schedule. It depends on shade, trees, sprinklers and how much the area gets used. Shady, damp spots grow moss and algae fastest, mostly during the wet months. Check the shady side of the house and roof after the rainy season. That's where buildup shows first.
Is pressure washing the same as power washing?
Most people use the two names for the same thing: cleaning with a machine that sprays water under pressure. We call it pressure washing. What matters more than the name is how much pressure goes on each surface. Concrete can take a strong wash. Roofs and house siding get a gentle, low-pressure soft wash.
How much does pressure washing cost?
It depends on the job. The size of the area, the surface (concrete, pavers, a tile roof or siding), how much buildup there is and how easy it is to reach all change the price. A two-story wall or a steep roof takes more setup than a flat patio. We don't publish a price list. Ask for a free quote and we'll price your job.
What should I do before you arrive?
Move cars off the driveway. Close windows and doors on the sides we're washing. Bring pets inside. If you can, move small things like planters, mats and toys out of the way. Tell us about anything fragile, any outdoor outlets, and any plants you care about.
