House Washing done right in Durham

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.

Your siding does not need brute force. It needs the right cleaner and a light touch. Our soft wash clears the algae and pollen that build up on Durham homes and leaves the surface streak-free.

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.

A wash is the cheapest thing you can do for your siding. Algae holds moisture against the surface, and moisture is what shortens the life of paint and caulk. Once a year in Durham keeps the growth from ever getting established.

Signs it is time in Durham

If any of these look familiar, the buildup is already working on the surface. Waiting makes it harder to remove, not easier.

  • Chalk on your hand after you touch the siding
  • Cobwebs and dirt lines under the eaves
  • Siding that looks two shades darker than it should

Questions

House Washing in Durham, answered

Is soft washing safe for vinyl siding in Durham?
Yes. Soft washing is the method siding makers recommend. It cleans Durham vinyl, brick, and stucco without the damage high pressure causes.
How long does a house washing last?
On most Durham homes the clean holds for a year or more, depending on shade and tree cover.
Will it hurt my plants?
No. We wet and rinse your landscaping around the work so the cleaner does not settle in.
How long does a house wash take?
Most Durham homes take two to four hours. Larger or heavily soiled homes take longer, and we tell you that before we start.
Local

Why we know Durham

Durham has the oldest housing stock we work on. The neighborhoods around Duke and downtown are painted wood, original brick, and full mature oak canopy, which means shaded walls green up early and gutters fill with more than pine straw. Almost none of it wants pressure. We soft wash the siding, hand-clear the gutters, and keep the wand off anything original.

Clayton Pressure Washing has cleaned Durham, the north-west corner of our range, since 2010. Durham sits in Durham County, and we are on these roads most weeks.
