House Washing
Gentle soft washing that lifts algae, mold, and grime off siding and brick.
from $0.15/sqft
If you've driven through Tomball, Cypress, or Spring after a wet spring, you've probably noticed the same thing on half the houses on the block: dark streaks creeping up the siding, green film collecting under the eaves, dingy patches where a sprinkler hits the brick every morning. That's algae and mildew, and it's just part of living somewhere this humid—it isn't a sign your house needs anything drastic, just a proper cleaning. That's what our house washing service does, and it's the job we get asked about more than any other.
The Damage a Pressure Washer Can Do to Siding
We don't reach for a pressure washer and blast away at siding the way a lot of "power washing" outfits do. House exteriors—especially vinyl, hardy plank, and painted brick—weren't built to take that kind of direct force, and we've seen the damage it can cause: stripped paint, dented siding, water forced behind trim where it has no business going. Instead, we soft wash: low water pressure paired with a cleaning solution that does the actual work of breaking down algae, mildew, and dirt at the surface. It's gentler on your house and, frankly, it gets a deeper, longer-lasting clean than pressure alone ever could.
Taping Off and Pre-Wetting Before We Start
Before we turn anything on, we walk the exterior with you, tape off outlets and fixtures, and pre-wet the landscaping so nothing gets stressed by the cleaning solution. We use biodegradable products because we live in this community too, and we'd rather not send anything harsh into the flowerbeds or storm drains. Once the soft wash solution has had a few minutes to work, we rinse it clean and the difference is usually obvious before we've even packed up the hose.
A Family-Owned Crew That Comes Back If Needed
We're a family-owned crew, and our name goes on every job—if a spot gets missed or something isn't sitting right with you, we come back and make it right. That's the whole idea behind our 100% satisfaction guarantee. Whether you're getting ready to list your home, hosting family for the holidays, or you just want to stop being the one house on the street with algae streaks, we'd rather show up, do the job carefully, and let the results speak for themselves.

Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between soft washing and pressure washing?
Soft washing uses low water pressure and a cleaning solution to lift dirt, algae, and mildew, while pressure washing relies on higher force alone. For house exteriors, soft washing is the safer choice—it cleans just as deeply without the risk of stripping paint, cracking siding, or driving water behind trim.
Is soft washing safe for my siding and brick?
Yes. We use low pressure and a biodegradable cleaning solution built for exterior surfaces, so it lifts algae and grime without damaging paint, mortar, hardy plank, or stucco. It's the same reason most siding manufacturers recommend soft washing over high-pressure cleaning.
Will the cleaning solution hurt my plants or lawn?
No. We pre-wet flowerbeds, grass, and shrubs before we start, and our solutions are biodegradable and formulated to break down without browning grass or damaging leaves. If you have a particularly sensitive garden, tell us up front and we'll cover it directly.
How long does washing a house take?
Most homes in Tomball, Cypress, and Spring take two to four hours from setup to final rinse, depending on size and how much buildup we're dealing with. We'll give you a realistic window when we quote the job, not just an average.
How often should I have my house soft washed?
Most North Houston homes hold up well with a soft wash every twelve to eighteen months. Homes shaded by trees or facing a lot of humidity—common throughout Cypress and Spring—can collect algae faster and may want a shorter cycle. We'll give you an honest recommendation, not an upsell.
What kind of grime and stains can you remove?
We routinely clear black algae streaks, green mildew, pollen film, and dirt buildup from siding, brick, and stucco with our standard soft wash. Rust staining from sprinklers or old metal fixtures needs a different chemistry — that's available as a rust-stain reduction add-on, and we'll tell you honestly what to expect before we start.
Do you work in the rain or summer heat?
We hold off on rain days for safety and better results, but Texas heat and humidity don't slow us down—we're used to it. We schedule around the weather, not the calendar, so your appointment may shift a day if a storm rolls through.
