House washing in Lawrence
Gentle on older siding, tough on mildew.
Many Lawrence homes have been standing for decades, and older siding needs a lighter touch. Aging vinyl gets brittle, painted wood can peel and aluminum siding can chalk. High pressure on any of those does damage you cannot undo.
We soft wash at about the pressure of a garden hose, letting a cleaning solution kill the mildew and algae before we rinse it off. If the siding is already chalking or the paint is failing, we tell you before we start so you know what washing will and will not fix.

- Chalky aluminum siding comes cleaner, but washing will not restore faded paint.

How we do it
- Walk the house with you and point out anything loose, cracked or already damaged
- Soak plants and beds with water, and cover outdoor outlets and light fixtures
- Apply the cleaning solution at low pressure, working from the bottom up
- Give it a few minutes to break down the growth
- Rinse the house from the top down, then rinse the plants again
Soft washing removes growth and dirt. It does not fix faded or chalking paint, oxidized aluminum siding or orange rust stains from well water. If we see those, we tell you before we start.

House soft wash in Lawrence: questions
Is soft washing safe for aluminum siding?
Yes, at low pressure. Aluminum often has a chalky surface, and washing cleans it but can show where the paint has faded. We will look at it with you first.
Do you work in Oaklandon and near Fort Ben?
Yes. We work across Lawrence, including Oaklandon and the neighborhoods around Fort Benjamin Harrison.
How much does house washing cost in Lawrence?
Most one-story homes run $300 to $400 and most two-story homes $400 to $600. It depends on the size of the house, how many stories it has and what the siding is. We look at it and give you a price in person before anything is booked.
Can you wash a brick ranch in Lawrence?
Yes. Brick takes a soft wash well, and the green on shaded brick comes off. We use low pressure so the mortar is left alone.
How long does a house wash take?
A one-story ranch usually takes 1 to 2 hours, and a two-story home 2 to 3 hours. Heavy growth or a lot of trim adds time, and we give you a closer estimate when we look at it.
How much does a house wash cost?
Most one-story homes run $300 to $400 and most two-story homes $400 to $600. Size, height and how dirty it is all change the price, so we look at your home and confirm the exact price in person before anything is booked.
Is soft washing safe for my plants and lawn?
We soak plants before and after the wash so any solution that reaches them is diluted, and we rinse the beds again when we finish. If there is a bed you are especially careful with, tell us when you book and we will cover it.
How long does a house wash last?
It depends on shade. Sunny walls often stay clean for a year or more. Walls that sit under trees or face north can start to green up again within a year. A yearly wash keeps it from building up.
Do I need to be home?
No. We need an outdoor water spigot and a way around the house, so leave the gate unlocked. We will text you when we finish.
How long does a house soft wash take?
On a typical home, a one-story house takes about 1 to 2 hours and a two-story house about 2 to 3. Big homes, heavy growth and lots of trim take longer. We give you a closer time when we come out to price it.
