Our Durham Exterior Cleaning Services

One of the biggest misconceptions in our industry is that everything should be pressure washed.

The truth is that using too much pressure on the wrong surface can cause unnecessary damage.

That's why we don't rely on a single cleaning method—we choose the safest and most effective process for your specific home.

Soft Washing

Soft washing uses specialized cleaning solutions and low water pressure to eliminate algae, mold, mildew, bacteria, and other organic growth at the source.

Soft washing is ideal for:

  • Vinyl siding
  • Hardie® siding
  • Painted wood
  • Stucco
  • Gutters
  • Soffits & fascia
  • Delicate exterior surfaces

Instead of simply blasting away surface dirt, soft washing kills the organisms causing the staining, resulting in a cleaner home that stays cleaner longer.

 

Pressure Washing

Pressure washing is reserved for durable surfaces that can safely handle higher water pressure.

These include:

  • Concrete driveways
  • Sidewalks
  • Patios
  • Brick walkways
  • Brick retaining walls
  • Pool decks
  • Some stone surfaces

By using the correct method for each material, we provide a deeper clean while helping protect your property from unnecessary wear.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is house washing safe for my siding?

Yes. We use the cleaning method that's appropriate for the material being cleaned. Delicate surfaces are soft washed, while durable surfaces like concrete are pressure washed.

How often should I have my home washed?

Most homes benefit from professional house washing every 1–2 years, depending on tree coverage, moisture, and exposure to algae.

Will you use high pressure on my siding?

No. Vinyl siding, Hardie® siding, painted wood, stucco, and other delicate materials are cleaned using a low-pressure soft wash process.

Do I need to be home?

Not necessarily. As long as we have access to the exterior and a working water source, we can usually complete the job while you're away.

Do you clean brick homes?

Yes. We clean both painted and unpainted brick. The cleaning method depends on the condition and type of brick, ensuring the safest and most effective results.
