House Washing

House washing is the job that changes how a place looks from the road, and it is almost always a soft wash rather than a pressure wash. Siding, trim, soffits and gutters get a low-pressure application of a cleaning solution that kills the algae and mildew, a short dwell, and a rinse. The pressure never goes high enough to force water behind the boards or under the trim.

We start at the top and work down, keeping the whole wall wet so nothing dries streaky. Windows and doors get checked and taped where they need it, plants get rinsed before and after, and anything on the drive gets moved rather than washed around. Most single-storey houses take two to three hours.

The result lasts eighteen months to two years on most houses around Bellhaven. North-facing walls and anything shaded by trees go green sooner, and those are worth doing annually rather than waiting for it to look bad again.
