House Washing done right in Smithfield

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 Smithfield homes and leaves the surface streak-free.

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.

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.

Why Smithfield calls us

What you get

Kills the algae, not just rinses it

Our cleaner treats the growth so it stays gone longer.

No ladder scars

We work from the ground where we can and protect what we cannot avoid.

It kills the growth

Algae treated at the root does not come back in a season the way rinsed algae does.

Safe for your siding

Low pressure means no cracked vinyl, no forced-in water, no damage.

Whole exterior, one visit

We can pair siding with gutters, windows, and concrete on the same trip.

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 Smithfield homes need house washing

Most Smithfield 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 Smithfield

House washing in Smithfield prices by the square footage of the elevation rather than by the floor area of the house, because what we clean is the outside wall. A single-story ranch with a wide footprint and a two-story colonial can have very different wall areas for the same house size.

What moves the number
  • How much algae and mildew has set in
  • Elevation square footage
  • Whether oxidation treatment is needed as well
  • Access around decks, beds, and fences

These are ballparks for Smithfield-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.

JobTypical rangeWhat moves it
House wash, single story$300 – $550Elevation footage, access, how long since the last wash
House wash, two story$450 – $850Reach, steep ground, planting tight to the walls

Questions

House Washing in Smithfield, answered

How long does a house washing last?
On most Smithfield homes the clean holds for a year or more, depending on shade and tree cover.
How long does a house wash last around here?
Two to three years for most Smithfield homes. North-facing elevations and anything under heavy tree cover go first, and a house on a shaded lot may want it closer to every other year.
Will a wash fix my chalky, faded siding?
A wash takes off the dirt and algae. If your hand comes away white, that is oxidation and it needs a different treatment. We will tell you which one you have before you book.
What is the free drone gutter inspection?
We fly a drone along your Smithfield roofline and show you the footage of your own gutters, joints, and downspouts. It takes about fifteen minutes, it costs nothing, and you are not committing to any work.
Do you work with businesses as well as homes?
Yes. About half our work is commercial, from storefronts and parking lots to HOA communities and truck fleets.
Local

Why we know Smithfield

Smithfield sits down Highway 70 from us and we are out there regularly. A lot of the older brick and vinyl homes here respond much better to a soft wash than to pressure.

Smithfield has been on our list since 2010. It is down Highway 70, it sits in Johnston County, and we know which streets green up first.
