What is included

What a house wash includes.

A house wash cleans the outside walls of your home with a soft wash: low pressure and a cleaning solution made for the surface. Trim, soffits and the outside of the gutters can go in too. Your estimate lists exactly what is covered.

  • Exterior walls

    Stucco, siding and painted surfaces pick up algae, mildew and grime. Cleaning the walls is the main job.

  • Trim and soffits

    The details under the roofline and around the windows can go in the same visit. We confirm them in the estimate.

  • Gutter exteriors

    We can clean the outside faces of the gutters. Clearing debris from inside is a separate job, see gutter cleaning.

  • What a wash will not do

    It cleans. It does not repair peeling paint, cracks or damaged siding, and we point out anything we notice before you approve.

Want the roof, driveway or pool area done too? Put them in the same request and every surface goes in one written estimate.

The method

Why we soft wash home exteriors.

A soft wash is not a pressure washer pointed at a wall. It uses low pressure and a cleaning solution, so the walls come clean without the force that can damage paint and siding. Hard surfaces like driveways are a different job with a different method.

  1. Water spray over the eave of a gray two story house, with a white gutter along the tile roof edge

    Look at the surface

    We check the wall material, the paint and anything fragile, like loose trim or old caulking, before we choose how to wash.

  2. Water spraying up a cream stucco wall to the roof edge, where a dark gutter runs along the eave

    Soft wash with low pressure

    The cleaning solution loosens algae, mildew and grime, and a gentle rinse carries it away. Force is not doing the work.

  3. Water arcing up under the roof edge above a yellow garage door, with the gutter line along the eave

    Rinse and look it over

    We rinse the walls and the details, then go over the result with you when the job is done.

Preparation

Preparation and property care.

Your part is short. Ours is protecting what is around the walls and leaving the property tidy.

  • View from an upper balcony down to a paver driveway with ladders, hoses, and a pressure washing truck on the road

    Your landscaping

    Plants and landscaping along the walls are protected while we work, and we clean up after. Reviewers mention this care by name.

    Clear work areas

    Move furniture, decorations and anything else movable away from the walls. If you need a hand, ask us ahead of time. Moving help can be arranged for an extra fee.

  • Modern white two story house with large glass windows and balcony railings under a blue sky

    A walk through at the end

    When we finish we go over the result with you. If something is not right, that is the time to say so.

Roofs and driveways are separate surfaces with their own methods: roof cleaning and residential pressure washing.

Cost and timing

House washing cost, and how long it takes.

The price depends on the size of the house, how much buildup is on it, how easy it is to reach and what else you want cleaned. We do not quote a square foot rate over the phone. We look at your house, then you get a written estimate. We agree the day with you when you approve it, because the weather has a say.

What moves the price

  • The size and height of the house
  • How much algae, mildew or grime is on the walls
  • How easy the walls are to reach
  • Whether the roof, gutters or other surfaces go in the same request
  • Furniture or decor moving, which we can arrange in advance for a fee

Estimate, in writing

You get a written estimate that lists the surfaces and the method before anything is scheduled. Payment comes after we have walked the finished job with you.

Keep it up

Keep the whole exterior cared for.

Growth comes back at its own pace, usually in the shady corners and under trees first. No fixed schedule suits every home, so we look at yours.

Good to know

  • Roof and walls together

    The roof is its own soft wash. Many homes get both in one request, see roof cleaning.

  • Watch the shady side

    The shady side of the house, which is also typically the north facing side, shows organic growth first, along with the other shady sides. A green or dark haze coming back on the siding or soffits is the sign to call. Send a photo and we will tell you if it needs another wash.

  • Ask about yearly care

    We can talk through annual or semiannual cleaning based on what your property needs, see recurring exterior cleaning.

How it works

From first call to a clean exterior.

Four steps, and you know what is coming at each one.

  1. Talk it through

    Call, text or send the form. Tell us what you see and add photos if you can. When a job needs it, we come and look in person.

  2. Get a written estimate

    It lists what is included and why. Nothing is scheduled until you approve it.

  3. Prep and work

    We send preparation instructions. You clear furniture and decor from along the walls and keep the work areas open. Then we soft wash the exterior.

  4. Walk it, then pay

    We check the finished job with you and go over any aftercare. Payment comes after that, and we follow up to make sure you are happy.

Questions

Before you book the wash.

Is a house wash the same as pressure washing?
Close portrait of a smiling man

No. Patrick soft washes home exteriors, which uses low pressure and a cleaning solution made for the surface. Hard surfaces like driveways can need a different approach. Your estimate says which areas get which method.

Are the roof and driveway included?
Close portrait of a smiling man

They can go in the same request, but they are separate surfaces with their own methods. Ask for a full property estimate so the written scope lists everything you want cleaned. See full property cleaning.

What should I move before you arrive?

Clear movable furniture, decorations and anything else from the work areas. If you need a hand, tell us ahead of time. We can arrange moving help for an extra fee.

How much does house washing cost in Sarasota?

Size, condition, access and what you want cleaned all change the price. You get a free written estimate before you approve anything. Ask for yours.

Will washing the house fix peeling paint?
Close portrait of a smiling man

No. A wash removes buildup. It does not repair paint, cracks or damaged siding. Some customers have had the house washed before painting so the painter starts on a clean surface.
