House washing in northern Michigan

The green on your north wall and the gray film on your siding aren't just dirt — they're living growth. We soft wash it off at the root so your house looks new again and stays clean longer.

Why siding goes green and gray up here

Northern Michigan's shade, humidity and long damp shoulder seasons are perfect for algae, mold and mildew — especially on north- and lake-facing walls that never fully dry. Left alone it spreads, feeds on the surface, and oxidizes vinyl to a chalky haze that a garden hose won't touch.

Soft wash, not a pressure blast

We use low pressure and a professional cleaning solution that kills the growth at the root instead of just blowing the top layer off. It's the method siding manufacturers actually recommend — safe on vinyl, LP SmartSide, wood, stucco and brick, and it won't force water behind the panels. Because we're killing it, not just rinsing it, the clean lasts far longer.

Questions

House washing — straight answers.

Is soft washing safe for my siding?
Yes — low pressure plus the right solution is gentler and more effective than high-pressure blasting, and it's what manufacturers recommend for vinyl, painted surfaces, cedar and stucco.
How long does it stay clean?
Longer than a plain power-wash, because we kill the algae at the root instead of just rinsing the surface. Most homes go one to two years between washes up here.
Will it hurt my plants?
No. We cover or pre-wet landscaping before we start and rinse everything down when we finish.
