House washing that’s gentle on your siding.

Not quite. Soft washing uses detergent to loosen dirt and growth, then a low-pressure rinse carries it away. That’s how we wash siding and trim; the pressure we’d use on concrete isn’t right for them.

Go by how the siding looks rather than the date of the last wash. Green growth on a shaded wall, pollen along the trim and a film of dirt are the usual signs. Shade, trees, moisture and roof runoff mean different sides of the same house can need it at different times.

A photo of the affected side helps us tell general buildup from a particular stain. There’s no single schedule that fits every North Alabama home.

We wash siding, trim, soffits, porches and brick accents where the material suits it, and a basic rinse of the exterior windows, frames and screens is included. Let us know about loose paint or damaged window seals when you ask for a quote.

No. Organic growth sits on the surface, while oxidation is the finish itself breaking down in the sun. It leaves a chalky film that rubs off on your fingers, and a house wash won’t remove it. We offer oxidation removal on vinyl siding, garage doors and painted metal as a separate hand process: the chalky layer is scrubbed off by hand and rinsed away. Cleaning can’t replace paint, fix a failing coating or repair damaged siding.

Mention chalkiness, peeling or old cleaning marks when you ask for a quote, so we can separate what washing will improve from what needs oxidation removal or attention to the finish itself.

Pollen is part of the everyday buildup a house wash removes, from the walls, trim, screens and window frames alike. Cleaning removes what’s there on the day; it can’t stop fresh pollen from landing afterward. If pollen is the main reason you’re booking, mention it so we can talk about timing.

We wet the plants close to your home before the cleaner goes on, keep them wet while we work and rinse them again when we’re done. We also account for nearby windows, outlets, painted surfaces and other openings. Tell us about delicate beds or damage that might not show in a wide photo, so we plan for your property rather than assuming every wall is the same.

Almost every job is finished in less than a day, including most house washes. You don’t need to be home while we work; just tell us about gates, pets or anything else we should know about access.

Every house wash is quoted for the specific property, and quotes are free. The price depends on the size and height of the home, how much growth and grime there is, the siding material and access around the house. A wide photo and a close-up can start the quote, we can often measure with GPS-assisted tools, and we visit when the property needs it or you’d prefer it. Your quote spells out what’s included, and the price only changes if you change the scope. You don’t pay until the work is done.
