House washing that kills the growth, not your siding

Gulf humidity feeds mildew on north-facing walls faster than most homeowners expect. We treat it chemically at low pressure, so it stays gone.

Most people assume a house wash is about pressure. It isn’t. On brick, stucco, HardiePlank or vinyl, high pressure is the fastest way to blow out mortar joints, force water behind siding and strip paint from trim. What actually removes the black and green staining on your walls is detergent chemistry and dwell time.

What's actually on your walls

The dark streaking is mildew and algae — living organisms, not dirt. That matters, because rinsing only removes what’s on the surface while the root structure stays embedded in the pores of your siding. It regrows within months. Our mix kills it outright, which is why a proper soft wash holds for 18 to 24 months instead of one season.

How we protect everything else

Beds and shrubs get watered down and covered before any detergent is mixed. Fixtures, outlets and AC units get shielded. Everything is rinsed thoroughly afterward. Plant damage is what happens when a company skips that prep to save fifteen minutes on a job.

What it looks like when it's done

Even colour across the whole elevation, no wand marks, no streaking down from the gutter line, and no missed patch above the garage where someone couldn’t reach. We walk it with you before we call it finished.

Common questions

Before you book

How often should I wash my house?
Once or twice a year in Montgomery County. Gulf humidity works fast, especially on walls that never get direct sun. If dark or green staining is becoming noticeable, don’t wait for the calendar.
Not at 100–500 PSI. That’s roughly the pressure of a strong garden hose. The damage people associate with power washing comes from running concrete pressure on surfaces that can’t take it.
No, as long as we can reach the areas being cleaned and there’s a working outdoor spigot. We’ll send photos when we’re done.
