    Wilmington house washing

    What house washing is, and why your home needs it here

    House washing is the low pressure cleaning of your home's exterior to remove algae, mold, mildew, salt film and pollen. Real exterior house washing, often called soft washing, uses a biodegradable solution at low pressure that kills the growth at the root and rinses your siding clean, without the high pressure blast that forces water behind the panels.

    In Wilmington this matters more than almost anywhere. Salt air off the Atlantic, high coastal humidity and the live oak canopy keep your north and east facing siding damp enough to grow algae and mold almost year round. A garden hose will not touch it, and a high pressure power wash damages the siding while barely slowing the growth. The right pressure washer for house siding is a low pressure soft wash system, and matching the method to vinyl, fiber cement, brick or stucco is the whole job.

    What we wash during a Wilmington house wash

    Vinyl siding cleaned at low pressure so water never gets forced behind the panels
    Fiber cement and Hardie board longer dwell time for the textured surface that holds growth
    Brick and stucco gentle wash that protects soft mortar joints and fragile stucco
    Soffits, fascia and eaves where black mold streaking always starts first
    Gutters exterior the white chalky oxidation and black tiger stripes removed
    Porches, columns and trim the details that make the whole house look finished

    Whatever brought you here, exterior cleaning on the coast comes down to one thing: a soft wash, not a high pressure blast. We match the method to your siding every time.

    Our cleaning solution

    What solution we use and how the wash actually works

    People ask what is in the mix and whether it is safe for their home and yard. Here is the honest answer, step by step, with nothing hidden.

    1

    A biodegradable soft wash solution

    We use a professional soft wash blend that breaks down algae, mold and mildew at the root. It is applied at low pressure and does the cleaning through chemistry, not force, which is what protects your siding.

    2

    Plants soaked and protected first

    Before any solution comes out, every plant, shrub and patch of grass around the work area is soaked with water and rinsed again after. This is the step that keeps your landscaping safe, and the one budget crews skip.

    3

    Applied at low pressure, then left to dwell

    The solution goes on at under 100 PSI, roughly a strong garden hose, and is left to work so it kills the growth completely instead of just moving it around.

    4

    Rinsed clean from the top down

    Once the colony is dead, we rinse the siding gently from top to bottom. Textured and porous surfaces get a longer dwell so we never have to reach for more pressure.

    The result is siding that is actually clean and stays clean for 12 to 24 months, because the growth is dead at the root, not just blasted off the surface to grow straight back. That is the difference between a proper house washing service and a quick rinse that looks fine for a fortnight and then greens over again.

    Why Wilmington chooses us

    Why homeowners here trust us with their house washing

    Soft wash, never high pressure

    Your siding, roof and trim never see a high pressure wand from us. We soft wash the way the Vinyl Siding Institute recommends, so you get a clean home without cracked stucco or water behind the panels.

    Plant safe, every single time

    We soak and protect your landscaping before we start. Plant damage in this industry comes from crews who skip that step, and we never do.

    Flat price, no surprises

    You get a flat number before we start and the invoice matches it. No starting at pricing, no hourly billing, no number that grows on invoice day.

    We know Wilmington

    Landfall canopy, Wrightsville salt, RiverLights Hardie board. We know which streets grow what, because we work these neighborhoods every week, not from a service area map.

    Before and after photos

    Every job is documented. You see the difference, and if your HOA needs proof for a violation notice, you get a written record you can submit straight to the board.

    Licensed and insured

    Full commercial liability coverage. Proof of insurance available for HOAs and property managers on request.

    What we remove

    The stains and growth we clear off your siding

    Every home collects a slightly different mix, and most properties we clean here have three or four of these building up at once. Each one needs the right dwell time to lift cleanly without harming the siding underneath.

    Common problems we clear in a single visit

    Green algae the film on shaded north and east walls that a hose never removes for long
    Black mold and mildew the dark streaks under gutters and on soffits, worst in the damp shade
    Salt film the hazy chloride layer near the water that pulls moisture back onto your walls
    Pollen and organic dust the spring layer that bonds to damp siding and feeds new algae
    Spider webs and nests cleared from eaves, corners and light fixtures as part of the job
    Oxidation chalk the white chalky residue on older vinyl and aluminum that dulls the color

    Soft washing lifts all of it in one visit without harming the siding, which is exactly why it is the right method for coastal homes.

    Our services

    Complete the job

    Common questions

    House washing questions Wilmington homeowners ask

    How much does house washing cost in Wilmington NC?
    Most single family homes run $300 to $550. A single story averages $300 to $400 and a two story $400 to $550, with larger homes quoted on site. The average cost to pressure wash a house depends on size, siding type, how established the growth is and salt exposure. You get a flat price before we start, with plant protection and photos included.
    Is house washing the same as pressure washing?
    Not for your siding. House washing on the coast should be soft washing, which uses low pressure under 100 PSI with a cleaning solution. A high pressure power wash on house siding forces water behind the panels and can crack stucco or void warranties. We soft wash siding and save high pressure for concrete only.
    How often should I wash my house in Wilmington?
    Once a year for most homes, twice a year near the water. Salt air and coastal humidity keep siding damp enough to grow algae almost year round. Wrightsville Beach and Intracoastal homes often need it every six months, while sunny inland lots can stretch to eighteen months.
    Will your house washing service damage my plants?
    No, not when done properly. We soak every plant and grass area with water before applying solution and rinse again afterward, so the biodegradable solution never sits on landscaping at strength.
    Do I need to be home for the house wash?
    No. We just need access to the work area and an outdoor spigot. We confirm the day before, send before and after photos when we finish, and email the invoice.
