A Cleaner Exterior, Without the Risk
A home’s exterior is exposed to the weather every day, and that exposure gradually leaves its mark. In Lexington, regular rainfall, humid summers,
shaded areas, and seasonal pollen create conditions where algae, mold, mildew, and other organic buildup can develop on siding and exterior finishes.
Besides changing the appearance of your home, this buildup becomes harder to remove as it continues to accumulate.
House washing is a practical way to remove these contaminants and keep exterior surfaces looking their best year-round. Most homes are cleaned with a
soft washing method that matches the needs of common siding materials while removing surface growth and everyday buildup. Regular exterior cleaning
keeps your property looking cared for and reduces the amount of accumulated grime that develops between maintenance visits.
House Washing for Different Siding Materials
Vinyl siding is one of the most common materials in Lexington homes. It holds up well to soft washing, but too much pressure can force water behind
panels or crack aging sections.
Brick can generally handle a broader range of cleaning pressure, though we still account for the condition of the mortar joints before starting.
Stucco needs a gentler touch. Excessive pressure can damage the finish, so we rely more on the cleaning solution than on force.
Painted wood requires careful pressure control to avoid stripping or lifting the existing paint.
Fiber cement (Hardie board) holds up well to soft washing but is still cleaned with a controlled approach to protect the finish.
We identify your siding material during the initial inspection and adjust our process accordingly, rather than treating every home the same way.
Our House Washing Process
Exterior Inspection
We identify siding materials, areas with heavier buildup, and any surfaces that need extra attention.
Property Preparation
We pre-soak landscaping and cover nearby surfaces before cleaning begins, so plants and everything around the house stay protected throughout the process.
Cleaning Solution Application
Applied evenly across the exterior and left to dwell for 10–15 minutes, breaking down algae, mold, and mildew before rinsing.
Low-Pressure Rinse
We rinse everything at controlled, low pressure, appropriate for the siding, removing loosened buildup without relying on excessive force.
Final Quality Check
We walk the property to check for consistent results and take care of any spots that need a second pass.
House Washing Pricing
$300–$500 starting, smaller homes
Final cost depends on home size, siding material, buildup, and accessibility. After a quick assessment, we’ll provide a clear estimate with no hidden charges.

Is House Washing Worth It Before Selling My Home?
Yes. A clean exterior is one of the first things a buyer notices, often before they even step out of the car. Algae streaks, dirty siding, and faded trim can make a well-maintained home look neglected from the curb, which affects first impressions before a buyer ever sees the inside. Compared to other pre-listing improvements, house washing is one of the least expensive ways to boost curb appeal, and it’s usually done in a single day.
