How We Do House Washing Step by Step

When we arrive at your property in the Springfield area, we start with a thorough walk-around of the house. We check the condition of your siding, trim, and soffits while identifying areas with heavy green algae or dark staining. Before starting any equipment, we shut all windows and doors, cover exterior electrical outlets, and pre-wet nearby plants and garden beds with clean water to protect them during the wash process.

Our primary method for cleaning home exteriors is a dedicated soft-wash process rather than high-pressure blasting. High pressure can crack vinyl siding, strip paint, or force water behind boards where it causes hidden damage. Instead, we use low-pressure pumps to apply a tailored cleaning solution designed to break down algae, mildew, dirt, and spider webs on contact.

Once the solution is applied to the siding, soffits, and trim, we allow it adequate dwell time to lift organic growth from the surface roots. After the solution breaks down the buildup, we perform a complete low-pressure rinse using fresh water. This clears away the dead algae and residual soap without compromising the seals around windows or pushing water into your wall cavities.

Most single-family house washing jobs take a few hours, depending on the square footage, whether the home is one or two stories, and the extent of organic staining. Throughout the visit, we continuously rinse surrounding landscaping to keep your plants safe and hydrated.

When the job is complete, you will see clean siding, bright soffits, and clear trim free of green streaks or webs, with your garden beds and outdoor spaces left neat. Reach out to us to discuss your home and get an estimate for house washing.
