A gentle soft wash that lifts algae, pollen, and mildew off your Archers Lodge siding without harming it.
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.
Most of what makes a house look old is a layer you can wash off. Algae on the shaded wall, pollen in the seams, cobwebs under the eaves. None of that needs a repaint. It needs a soft wash and one afternoon.
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.
One of these is worth a look. Two or more and the surface has been going this way for a while.
We rinse the glass and frames afterwards so there is no solution left drying on them.
Soffit, fascia, shutters, and the wall behind the downspout get cleaned, not skipped.
We wet down and protect your landscaping before we start.
Beds are wet down before and rinsed after. Nothing gets left sitting on foliage.
Low pressure and the right solution. Nothing forced behind the siding or into the soffits.
We soak nearby beds and shrubs first.
A gentle cleaner goes on to break down algae and mildew.
We rinse from the top down for an even, clean finish.
We look for any missed spots and touch them up.
Most Archers Lodge 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 faces | How often | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Full sun, most of the day | Once a year | Late April to May after the pine pollen drops, or October once the leaves are down |
| North-facing and shaded walls | Once a year, sometimes sooner | They never fully dry, and green and black growth holds there first and hardest |
| Under heavy tree cover | Once a year, watch the second year | Organic debris keeps feeding regrowth long after the wash |
| Beside a mulch bed | Check the lower wall each spring | Black specks that will not rinse off are artillery fungus, not dirt, and they need a different answer |
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.
These are ballparks for Archers Lodge-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.
| Job | Typical range | What moves it |
|---|---|---|
| House wash, single story | $300 – $550 | Elevation footage, access, how long since the last wash |
| House wash, two story | $450 – $850 | Reach, steep ground, planting tight to the walls |
Clayton Pressure Washing has cleaned Archers Lodge, a quick drive from our shop, since 2010. Archers Lodge sits in Johnston County, and we are on these roads most weeks.
“Same-day service and the whole property looks better. Will use them every year.”
“Came out on a weekend when I needed it and the results were excellent. Real person answered the phone every time.”
“They brought the color back on our vinyl siding after another company left it chalky. Night and day.”
We fly the roofline and show you the footage on the spot. You see your own gutters, joints, and downspouts on the screen instead of taking our word for it. It costs nothing and you are not committing to the cleaning.
Free for homes and businesses across the Triangle and Johnston County. No obligation to book any work afterwards.
