A gentle soft wash that lifts algae, pollen, and mildew off your Cleveland siding without harming it.
The pressure that cleans concrete will drive water behind vinyl siding, into soffits, and past window seals. We use low pressure and the right cleaning solution, and we let the chemistry do the work.
House washing in Cleveland is soft washing, not pressure washing, and the distinction matters more here than in a drier climate. Siding holds algae because we have humidity and shade, and algae is a living thing. Pressure knocks it off the surface. A soft wash kills it, which is the difference between a house that stays clean for two years and one that greens up again by autumn.
High pressure on siding is how water gets behind it. Vinyl laps are designed to shed rain running down, not a jet driven up underneath. What comes out of that is a wall that looks clean and a cavity that stays wet.
If any of these look familiar, the buildup is already working on the surface. Waiting makes it harder to remove, not easier.
Low pressure and the right solution. Nothing forced behind the siding or into the soffits.
Beds are wet down before and rinsed after. Nothing gets left sitting on foliage.
We wet down and protect your landscaping before we start.
Soffit, fascia, shutters, and the wall behind the downspout get cleaned, not skipped.
We rinse the glass and frames afterwards so there is no solution left drying on them.
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 Cleveland 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 |
Two things drive the price: how much wall there is and how hard it is to reach. A ranch on an open lot is quick. A two-story with dormers, a deck in the way, and beds tight against the foundation takes longer and prices higher.
These are ballparks for Cleveland-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 |
Cleveland has been on our list since 2010. It is out Highway 42 in western Johnston County, it sits in Johnston County, and we know which streets green up first.
“They transformed the outside of our house. The siding looks brand new and they were careful around all my flower beds.”
“They brought the color back on our vinyl siding after another company left it chalky. Night and day.”
“Siding and windows on the same day and the whole house looks lighter. Careful with the beds and easy to schedule.”
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.
