House Washing
Siding washed back to its own colour, without forcing water behind it.
House Washing
Green algae and grey road film build on siding long before anyone really notices, and it starts on whichever wall sees the least sun. We put a cleaner on it at low pressure, work from the top down, and rinse it off. The water never gets forced up behind the boards, which is what causes the damage people blame on washing.
Low pressure, so nothing is driven behind the siding

Questions
Common questions
Is house washing safe for vinyl siding?
Yes, at low pressure. The damage people blame on washing comes from forcing water up behind the boards, which is what we avoid.
What causes the green on my siding?
Algae. It holds moisture against the wall, which is why it spreads, and why it starts on whichever side sees the least sun.
Will it damage my paint?
No. Constant damp under a growing colony is what lifts and chalks paint. Removing it extends the life of the finish.
How often should a house be washed?
Every two to three years around here. If you can already see green from the road, it has been longer than that.
Do the windows get cleaned too?
Windows, doors and beds all get rinsed when we finish.
How long does it take?
Most houses are two to four hours.
