House Washing in Macomb & Oakland County, MI
House washing is a low pressure soft wash that removes mold, mildew, algae and road grime from your siding using cleaning solution instead of force. High pressure can drive water behind siding and etch the surface, so we clean the house with volume and dwell time, then rinse it down. The green and black film comes off, and the siding goes back to an even color.

How We Do It
Walk the exterior
We check the siding type, look for loose panels, open seams and damaged caulking, and note anything that needs to stay dry.
Protect and pre-rinse
Plants, outlets and light fixtures get covered or rinsed down so the cleaning solution never sits on anything it should not.
Apply and dwell
The soft wash mix goes on at low pressure and is given time to break down the mold and algae at the root instead of sanding it off.
Rinse and inspect
The house gets a full rinse from the top down, then we walk it with you to check anything you want a second pass on.
Surfaces We Clean
- Vinyl siding
- Brick
- Stucco
- Aluminum siding

Frequently Asked Questions
Will pressure washing damage my siding?
We do not pressure wash siding. House washing is done as a soft wash at low pressure, which is why it is safe on vinyl, stucco, wood and fiber cement. High pressure is reserved for hard flat surfaces like driveways and walkways.
How often should a house in Michigan be washed?
Most homes in Macomb and Oakland counties benefit from a wash every one to two years. North facing walls and anything shaded by trees hold moisture longer and grow algae faster, so those sides often need it sooner than the rest of the house.
Is the cleaning solution safe around plants and pets?
Plants are pre-rinsed and rinsed again afterward, which dilutes anything that reaches them. Keep pets indoors while we work and until surfaces have dried.
How long does house washing take?
It depends on the size of the home and how much buildup is on it. We give you a time window when we quote the job rather than a blanket estimate.
