What we do

A safer, smarter way to wash your home.

Unlike traditional pressure washing, our soft washing process uses low pressure combined with specialized detergents to gently clean your home's exterior at the root — killing mold, algae, and bacteria instead of just blasting them away. This method is recommended for stucco, brick, vinyl siding, Hardie board, painted surfaces, and wood siding.

House Washing in Austin Texas

Why Austin homes get dirty faster than you'd think

Austin's climate is hard on exteriors. Live oaks drop catkins and pollen for two months every spring, cedar season coats everything in a fine yellow film, and the humidity that rolls up from the Gulf keeps north- and east-facing walls damp long enough for algae and mildew to take hold. Add limestone dust from constant construction and grit blowing off unsealed lots, and a home that looked clean in January can look dingy by midsummer.

The green and black streaks low on shaded walls aren't dirt — they're living organic growth. Rinse it off and it comes back faster each time. Kill it at the root and it stays gone far longer.

Soft wash vs. pressure — what it means for your siding

We soft wash almost every home exterior, for one simple reason: high pressure damages the things it's meant to clean. On Hardie board and fiber cement it forces water behind the boards, on stucco it etches the finish, on vinyl it drives water under the laps, and on any painted surface it strips and chalks the coating. Most siding and paint manufacturers void their warranty if the surface is cleaned with high pressure.

Our process applies a biodegradable detergent at garden-hose pressure, lets it dwell long enough to break down algae and mildew at the root, then rinses clean. We match the chemistry to the surface — limestone and natural stone in particular need careful pH balancing to avoid etching, which is exactly where a one-size-fits-all wash does real damage.

What goes into your price

House washing starts at $199 for a standard single-story home with vinyl, fiber cement, or stucco siding. A few things move the number from there:

  • Stories and access — two-story homes and complex rooflines take longer to reach safely and typically run $279–$379.
  • Square footage — pricing scales with actual wall area, not lot size.
  • Surface material — stone and limestone exteriors need careful detergent matching, which can bring larger or specialty homes up to around $449.
  • Degree of growth — a wall that hasn't been cleaned in years needs more dwell time and spot treatment.

Most homes in Central Texas benefit from house washing once every 12–18 months, depending on shade, moisture, and exposure to mold and algae.
Yes. Soft washing uses low pressure and specialized solutions designed specifically for exterior surfaces. It's the safest and most effective way to clean a home.
No. When done correctly, soft washing extends the life of your paint and siding by removing harmful organic growth.
Most jobs take 1.5–3 hours, depending on the size of the home and level of buildup.
Yes — and they're exactly the kind of surface where method matters. Stone and limestone need a pH-balanced detergent and low pressure; the wrong chemistry or high pressure can etch or discolor them. We spot-test first.
No. We pre-wet and rinse landscaping before, during, and after the wash, and the detergents break down quickly. Established plants and lawns handle it fine.
