House washing for siding, eaves and soffits

Siding, eaves and soffits soft washed with the right soap, water flow and pressure for each material, so the whole house comes clean without damage.

Clean navy fibre cement siding and white trim after a house wash

Algae, mildew, spider webs and road grime build up on siding, eaves and soffits, especially on shaded walls and under the trees. Left alone, green streaks spread and the whole house starts to look tired.

We soft wash the exterior: the proper soap for each material and a low-pressure rinse, never high pressure on siding. We tailor the water flow, pressure and soap to each and every surface, so the house comes clean without damage.

What's included

  • Siding on every accessible wall, washed with a soap suited to the material.
  • Eaves and soffits cleaned of webs, mildew and dirt.
  • Fascia and the outside face of the gutters, where black streaks show first.
  • Window frames, trim and doors rinsed as part of the wash.
  • Plants, outlets, lights and vents protected before we start, and an inspection with before-and-after photos when we finish.

The right approach for each material

Vinyl, painted wood, cedar, fibre cement and stucco each react differently to water and cleaners. We match the soap, water flow and pressure to the material in front of us, and change them as we move from siding to soffits to trim.

High pressure can force water behind siding, strip paint and etch soft surfaces. Soft washing lets the soap do the work, then a low-pressure rinse carries the grime away.

Why house washing matters here

Between the rain, the shade and the trees, Sea-to-Sky and North Shore homes grow algae and mildew quickly, often on the north side and under the eaves first.

Washing removes the growth before it stains, keeps paint and siding looking their best for longer, and makes the next wash quicker. It's also the best prep before painting or selling.

Pair it with the rest of the exterior

House washing pairs well with gutter cleaning, window cleaning and pressure washing of driveways and walkways, so one visit can leave the whole property clean, from the roofline down.

Spring and summer are the best times to wash, once nights stay above freezing. Water-based work pauses when it freezes.

FAQ

House washing questions

Will washing damage my siding?

Not with soft washing. We use the proper soap for the material and a low-pressure rinse, never high pressure on siding, eaves or soffits.

Do you clean eaves and soffits?

Yes. Eaves and soffits are part of every house wash, along with siding, fascia and trim.

Is the soap safe for my garden?

We choose cleaners suited to each surface, wet down and protect plants before washing, and rinse thoroughly afterwards. Ask us about specific products when booking.

Do I need to be home?

No, as long as we can reach the walls and an outdoor tap. If water access is limited, we can bring our own.

Do you wash strata and townhome complexes?

Yes. We can wash a building or a whole complex, phase the work and coordinate notices with your property manager.
