A gentle soft wash that lifts algae, pollen, and mildew off your Four Oaks siding without harming it.
House washing in Four Oaks 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.
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.
These are the things we get called out for most. All of them are cheaper to handle now than after another season.
We rinse the glass and frames afterwards so there is no solution left drying on them.
Beds are wet down before and rinsed after. Nothing gets left sitting on foliage.
Low pressure means no cracked vinyl, no forced-in water, no damage.
Our cleaner treats the growth so it stays gone longer.
Most Four Oaks homes look years newer in one visit.
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 Four Oaks 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 |
We quote the house, not the hour. Footprint and stories set most of it. The rest is detail: shutters, wrapped columns, heavy trim, and how far the growth has gotten into the shaded walls.
These are ballparks for Four Oaks-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 |
Four Oaks is south of Smithfield, and it has been on our route since 2010. We are somewhere in Johnston County most weeks of the year.
“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.
