What we wash
Coastal humidity feeds mildew and algae, especially on north facing walls and under shady trees. Pressure alone just moves it around and can damage siding. A soft wash treats the growth at the root, then rinses it away gently.
- Vinyl, Hardie board, stucco and painted siding
- Soffits, fascia, gutters (exterior faces) and trim
- Porches, columns and railings
- Front doors, shutters and entryways
Surface guide
Pick a surface to see how we clean it and how much pressure it can take.
Siding: Soft wash
Vinyl, Hardie board and painted siding get a low pressure, high volume soft wash. A cleaning solution does the work on mildew and algae, so water is never forced behind the panels.

Roof: No pressure
Black streaks on shingles are algae. Roofs are treated with a soft wash solution and gently rinsed. A pressure washer never touches the shingles.

Driveway or sidewalk: Surface cleaner
Concrete gets a rotary surface cleaner at high pressure for an even, stripe free finish, followed by a rinse and spot treatment on stubborn stains.

Pavers and brick: Medium pressure
Pavers and brick get a moderate setting that lifts moss and grime from the faces and joints without blasting out the joint sand.

House washing questions
Will soft washing damage my siding or plants?
Soft washing uses low pressure, so water is not forced behind siding or into seals, and we take care around landscaping while we work.
How often should a house be washed near the coast?
Most homes around Wilmington look best with a wash every 12 to 18 months. Shady lots, homes near water and north facing walls often need it more often.
Do I need to be home?
Usually not, as long as we can reach an outdoor spigot and all sides of the house. We will confirm the details when you book.
