A gentle soft wash that lifts algae, pollen, and mildew off your Triangle-area siding without harming it.
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 Triangle-area 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 the Triangle and Johnston County keeps the growth from ever getting established.
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.
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.
House washing in the Triangle and Johnston County 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.
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.
Most Triangle-area 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.
Any one of these means the buildup has already started working on the surface. The longer it sits, the harder it is to lift.
Low pressure means no cracked vinyl, no forced-in water, no damage.
Our cleaner treats the growth so it stays gone longer.
Most Triangle-area homes look years newer in one visit.
We wet down and protect your landscaping before we start.
We can pair siding with gutters, windows, and concrete on the same trip.
We work from the ground where we can and protect what we cannot avoid.
Low pressure and a downward rinse mean water goes where rain goes and nowhere else.
Soffit, fascia, shutters, and the wall behind the downspout get cleaned, not skipped.
Low pressure and the right solution. Nothing forced behind the siding or into the soffits.
Algae treated at the root does not come back in a season the way rinsed algae does.
We do every elevation so you are not left with one clean wall and three that do not match.
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.
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 Triangle-area 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 |
House washing in the Triangle and Johnston County prices off the size of the home, the number of stories, and how much growth has set in. A single-story ranch is the low end. A two-story with heavy shade and a lot of trim runs higher.
These are ballparks for the Triangle and Johnston County-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 |
Plants get watered down before and rinsed after. Fixtures, lights, and outlets get covered. Nothing gets sacrificed to save time.
You are not handed to a crew that has never spoken to you. One of us is there or one of us sent them and knows your property.
If the weather moves us, you hear it from us that morning, not after you have waited all afternoon.
If it is not right, we come back. No argument and no invoice games.
You get the number up front. It does not move while we are packing up.
Soft wash where soft wash belongs. Pressure only where the surface can take it. That is how nothing gets damaged.
If something is not right, we come back and make it right. That is the whole policy.
Tiny black dots stuck to the siding like tar, usually on the wall nearest the mulch bed. Not dirt, not mold, and not something a pressure washer will fix.
