Hardie Board (Fiber Cement)
Hardie board is one of the most common sidings on homes around here, and mold and mildew settle right into it. We soft wash it first, then hand-scrub it to release the surface dirt the solution leaves behind.

Mold and Mildew on Columbia
and Spring Hill Siding
The mold and mildew you see on your siding are alive. A house wash from 15cent Pressure Washing kills them at the source. On homes here, that growth settles into the Hardie board and deep into the brick mortar. We soft wash with special low-pressure tips and let the cleaning solution do the work. Call (931) 446-1031 and we'll get that growth off your home.
Hardie Board, Vinyl, Brick, Stucco,
and Metal, Each Washed Its Own Way
Every home gets the same soft wash as a starting point. From there, the solution and the tools change with the siding you have.
Vinyl Siding
Vinyl is just as common here. We let the soft wash solution dwell on it, then rinse it clean.
Brick
Mold grows deep in the mortar joints of a brick home. We clean brick with a dedicated soft wash machine that runs a higher chemical concentration than our standard mix.
Stucco
We soft wash stucco with the same low-pressure tips and solution we use on the rest of the home.
Metal Siding, Including Barndominium-Style Metal Homes
Barndominium-style metal homes are common here, and the lower panels pick up splashed-up dirt stains. We apply a specialty metal-siding stain remover as part of the wash to pull those out.
Rust Stain Removal
With Your House Washing
Rust and oxidation stains come off as an add-on to your house wash. We pre-wet the surface first, then apply a rust remover mixed in a pump sprayer and rinse it away. Our chemicals are safe for most of the surfaces on a home. Deep rust that has set into concrete gets a wire brush. When rust has run down a wall onto concrete or asphalt, we lay neutralizer down on the ground first, so the runoff doesn't streak it.
Why Pick Our House Washing
for Your Plants and Siding
A house wash should leave your home clean without costing you your landscaping. Here's what you get with ours.
Plant and Pet Protection on Every Job
Your plants shouldn't die so your house can get clean. We pre-wet and treat your landscaping with biodegradable neutralizers before and after we wash, so nothing we use is left behind for your plants or your pets when we leave. This is standard on every job.
Siding Color That Stays Put
Our cleaning solution carries an EBC additive. It helps protect your siding's color from fading and oxidation, so a clean home stays looking that way longer.
Cleaning Matched to Your Siding
We match the cleaning method to the surface. Hardie board gets scrubbed, brick mortar gets a stronger soft wash that reaches the mold deep in the joints, and metal homes get a specialty treatment that pulls out the dirt stains a hose never will. We've restored siding that painters told homeowners had to be repainted.
We Bring Our Own Water
No outdoor spigot? No problem. We carry our own water tank, about 500 gallons on board, so a home without water access is no reason to put off the wash. A house wash protects your windows but doesn't clean the glass, so we also offer window cleaning.

How Our House Washing Goes,
First Call to Final Rinse
From your first call to the final rinse, here is how a house wash goes.
Your Free On-Site Estimate
Call us or fill out the contact form. Form requests get an automatic confirmation that we'll be in touch within 24 hours. We set a time to come out, look over your home, measure it, and note anything that needs repair first. Your price is based on the square footage and condition. Book on the spot, or we'll email the quote for you to review. If we don't hear back in two or three days, we check in to answer questions.
Photos and Setup
We photograph the whole property before we start. Then we connect to your outdoor water and fill our tank. We run out the line with our low-pressure soft wash tips and set the detergents, chemicals, and neutralizer to the right percentages with our proportioning system. Our Honda GX690 machine runs at 4,000 PSI and 8 gallons a minute, but the soft wash tips take the pressure off it. Brick gets our dedicated soft wash machine.
Protecting Your Plants and Windows
Before any cleaning solution goes on, we pre-wet or apply biodegradable neutralizer to all of your plants and windows.
Soft Wash Application and Dwell
We apply the solution, sodium hypochlorite with detergents, from the bottom up, and let it dwell so it can do the work. Hardie board gets hand-scrubbed where it needs it.
Re-Protecting and the Top-Down Rinse
We re-wet or re-neutralize your plants and windows, then rinse from the top down until the whole home is done.
Afterward, you get a short rating survey and an emailed review request.

House Washing Customer Reviews
House Washing Questions
How long does a house wash take?
Most homes take two to four hours. Larger and multi-story homes run toward the longer end of that range.
Do you wash two-story and three-story homes?
Yes. We wash single-story, two-story, and three-story homes. Many homes here are two stories, and quite a few are three, so taller homes are a regular part of what we do.
Does a house wash include my driveway and walkways?
Your quote lists exactly what we're cleaning. A house wash covers the house itself. Driveways, walkways, and patios are priced separately, so just ask and we'll add them. If your deck needs attention of its own, we also offer deck cleaning as a separate service.
Will water get under my doors during a house wash?
We ask you to place towels under your front and back doors before we start. That keeps water from working its way inside while we wash.
