House washing services in Roanoke, VA

We use an industry-standard algaecide for house washing (sodium hypochlorite, which is similar to bleach). If you ask, we’ll tell you exactly what we’re using, and we’re used to walking customers through those concerns in plain language.

We pre-water the plants first, then rinse everything off again before we leave. Pre-watering helps the plants soak up fresh water so they’re less likely to absorb overspray, and the final rinse removes any residue on leaves and landscaping.

We typically don’t cover plants. In our experience, covering can trap heat underneath and sometimes causes more damage than simply keeping plants watered and rinsed.

We water the plants first, apply the cleaning solution, and rinse thoroughly—working in sections so we don’t let solution sit too long. We commonly do two sides at a time, then rinse those sides and any nearby bushes before moving on.

We avoid window haze by not leaving the cleaner on too long and by rinsing the windows off promptly. That’s one reason we work in sections and rinse as we go.

If the customer isn’t there, we’re mindful because we don’t want to spray water into the home. If there’s a risk of water getting inside (like an open window), we won’t proceed in a way that could cause flooding or interior water damage.

We clean vinyl, and we also clean EIFS/DRIVIT (Exterior Insulation and Finish System). If you’re not sure what type of siding you have, we can confirm it when we look at the home.

Yes—moving items like cars and patio furniture helps the job go smoothly. Obstacles and furniture left in the way can affect the service and may affect the overall scope of work.

It can. Heavy landscaping and obstacles are two of the main things that can affect the complexity of a house wash, because we may need extra time for access and for watering down landscaping.

This depends on the property. We have large water tanks and we always bring water for well-water homes, because we don’t want to run a well dry and well flow can slow the job down.

Yes, we usually ask whether you’re on a well. We also often can tell based on the area and address, but we still confirm because it’s not always obvious.

Yes—some issues like certain blemishes (including “mud staining”) may not come off with a standard wash. If we notice something out of the ordinary, we’ll point it out and set expectations instead of pretending it will disappear.

We generally stay away from oxidation removal. We’ve done it before, but it tends to be more hassle than it’s worth, so it’s not a standard part of our house washing service.

We don’t typically run discounts because we try to give a fair, best price upfront. That said, we can offer neighborhood discounts in situations where multiple homes book together and it saves travel time.
