House Washing done right in Micro

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 Micro homes and leaves the surface streak-free.

Most Micro 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.

House washing in Micro 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.

Why Micro calls us

What you get

Nothing driven behind the laps

Low pressure and a downward rinse mean water goes where rain goes and nowhere else.

Brighter house, same day

Most Micro homes look years newer in one visit.

Windows and screens rinsed down

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

The parts nobody reaches

Soffit, fascia, shutters, and the wall behind the downspout get cleaned, not skipped.

Plant-safe process

We wet down and protect your landscaping before we start.

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 Micro homes need house washing

Most Micro 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 Micro

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.

Questions

House Washing in Micro, answered

Is soft washing safe for vinyl siding in Micro?
Yes. Soft washing is the method siding makers recommend. It cleans Micro vinyl, brick, and stucco without the damage high pressure causes.
Will house washing damage my siding or plants?
Not when it is done properly. We wet down the beds before and rinse them after, and we work at a pressure that will not force water past the siding. If you have anything sensitive planted tight to the wall, tell us and we will cover it.
Do you clean the gutter faces too?
We rinse the outside of the gutters with the house wash. Brightening the gutter face to clear the dark stripes is a separate step we can add.
Do I need to be home while you work?
Usually no. Most exterior work only needs access to an outdoor spigot. We confirm what we need when we schedule.
Are you licensed and insured?
Yes. We are licensed, fully insured, and NC HUB-certified. We will send documentation before the job if you want it.
Local

Why we know Micro

Micro is small and rural, and the properties here are mostly older homes on generous lots. Red clay and farm dust are the two things we deal with most, and both come off concrete easily once the surface is pre-treated.

Micro has been on our list since 2010. It is a small town with a long history in the county, it sits in Johnston County, and we know which streets green up first.
