House Washing done right in Apex

Most Apex houses need this every two to three years, and the north side always needs it first. If one elevation is green and the rest looks fine, that is normal, and it is still worth doing the whole house so the color matches.

The north wall tells you when it is time. It gets the least sun, dries the slowest, and greens up months before the rest of the house does. By the time the front looks dirty the back has been dirty for a season.

That green film on the north side of the house is algae, and blasting it with high pressure will wreck your siding. We use a soft wash instead. Low pressure, the right cleaner, and it comes off clean.

Signs it is time in Apex

These are the things we get called out for most. All of them are cheaper to handle now than after another season.

  • Growth creeping up from the foundation line
  • Color that has gone flat compared with a sheltered section
  • Spider webbing and mud daubers under the eaves

Why Apex calls us

What you get

Plant-safe process

We wet down and protect your landscaping before we start.

Whole house, matched

We do every elevation so you are not left with one clean wall and three that do not match.

Whole exterior, one visit

We can pair siding with gutters, windows, and concrete on the same trip.

Windows and screens rinsed down

We rinse the glass and frames afterwards so there is no solution left drying on them.

No ladder scars

We work from the ground where we can and protect what we cannot avoid.

How it works

Our House Washing process

1

Protect the plants

We soak nearby beds and shrubs first.

2

Apply soft wash

A gentle cleaner goes on to break down algae and mildew.

3

Low-pressure rinse

We rinse from the top down for an even, clean finish.

4

Final check

We look for any missed spots and touch them up.

Timing

How often Apex homes need house washing

Most Apex houses want a wash once a year, but which walls go first is not a matter of age. It is a matter of how long each elevation stays wet after it rains.

What the wall facesHow oftenWhy
Full sun, most of the dayOnce a yearLate April to May after the pine pollen drops, or October once the leaves are down
North-facing and shaded wallsOnce a year, sometimes soonerThey never fully dry, and green and black growth holds there first and hardest
Under heavy tree coverOnce a year, watch the second yearOrganic debris keeps feeding regrowth long after the wash
Beside a mulch bedCheck the lower wall each springBlack specks that will not rinse off are artillery fungus, not dirt, and they need a different answer
A chalky white film that comes off on your hand is oxidation, not dirt. No wash removes it, and washing harder does not change that.
Pricing

What house washing costs in Apex

Access is the second factor. Steep ground, tight side returns, decking against the wall, and mature planting all slow the work down. Multi-story elevations need more reach and more care.

What moves the number
  • How much algae and mildew has set in
  • Access, slope, and planting against the walls
  • Whether you add gutters or windows
  • Siding type and condition

These are ballparks for Apex-area homes, not a price list. The right-hand column is the part that actually decides your number, which is why we quote the job before we start it.

Questions

House Washing in Apex, answered

What about the chalky residue on my siding?
That is oxidation, and it is a different job from a wash. A soft wash cleans the surface; it does not restore oxidized vinyl. We treat that separately and we will tell you which one you actually need.
Do I need to be home for a house wash?
No, as long as we have access to water and to the sides of the house. We will need windows closed and anything loose moved away from the walls.
Can you wash a house in winter?
Yes, down to about freezing. Below that the solution stops working properly and we would rather reschedule than do it badly.
Do you work with businesses as well as homes?
Yes. About half our work is commercial, from storefronts and parking lots to HOA communities and truck fleets.
What is the free drone gutter inspection?
We fly a drone along your Apex roofline and show you the footage of your own gutters, joints, and downspouts. It takes about fifteen minutes, it costs nothing, and you are not committing to any work.
Local

Why we know Apex

Apex is just west of Cary and we cover it on the same routes. Newer homes with light siding show algae early, and a soft wash takes care of it in one visit.

Apex is just west of Cary, and it has been on our route since 2010. We are somewhere in Wake County most weeks of the year.
