Professional Dayton House Washing

See Your Home's True Beauty Again

Your house collects more than just dirt. Pollen, algae, mildew, and grime build up over months, making your home look older and less valuable than it actually is.

When we’re done, you’ll remember why you fell in love with your property in the first place. Clean siding that actually looks like the color it’s supposed to be. Windows that let light in instead of filtering it through layers of buildup. A home that looks cared for and maintained.

The difference isn’t just cosmetic. Substances that attach to your siding weaken and weather it over time, so proper house washing keeps the integrity of your siding so it lasts longer. In Dayton’s market, where median home values reach $546,249, protecting that investment matters.

How We Clean Without Causing Damage

The difference between professional house washing and amateur work comes down to understanding what you’re cleaning and how to clean it safely.

First, we assess your home’s specific needs. Vinyl siding can be difficult to clean with dirt and pollen buildup, but it requires a completely different approach than brick, stucco, or wood. We identify problem areas, note any delicate features, and choose the right cleaning method for each surface.

Next comes the actual cleaning using our soft wash system. High pressure can damage asphalt shingles, wood siding, old mortar, painted surfaces, and even vinyl siding if performed incorrectly, but our soft-wash solution achieves results without the damage. We use the right pressure, the right cleaning solutions, and the right technique for each part of your home.

Finally, we do a thorough walkthrough with you to ensure everything meets our standards and yours. No rushing off to the next job. No leaving you to discover problems later.

What Your House Washing Service Includes

Your house washing service covers every exterior surface that needs attention. Siding gets the full treatment – whether it’s vinyl, wood, brick, or stucco. Windows are cleaned inside their frames. Trim, shutters, and architectural details get individual attention.

We also clean areas other companies often miss or rush through. Foundation walls, outdoor light fixtures, and entryways all get proper cleaning. If you have a deck, porch, or patio attached to the house, those surfaces are included in the service.

In Dayton’s climate, where homes face unique environmental stresses, we understand how local weather patterns affect different building materials and adjust our cleaning approach accordingly. With many homes built in the 1970s and 1960s, we have extensive experience working with the materials and construction methods common in established Dayton neighborhoods.

How often should I have my house washed in Dayton?

Most experts agree that the majority of homes need to be pressure washed at least once a year, but Dayton’s specific environment affects this timeline. The Shenandoah Valley sees significant pollen seasons, especially in spring, which creates buildup on siding and windows faster than in some areas. If your home is surrounded by trees or faces prevailing winds that carry dust and debris, you might need cleaning more frequently. With 82.16% of Dayton housing being single-family detached homes and many residents being white-collar workers, most homeowners find annual cleaning keeps their property looking well-maintained and protects their investment in this strong real estate market.
High pressure washing can actually damage asphalt shingles, wood siding, old mortar, painted surfaces, and even vinyl siding if performed incorrectly. That’s exactly why we use soft washing techniques instead of high-pressure blasting. Soft washing uses lower pressure combined with specialized cleaning solutions to remove dirt, algae, and mildew without forcing water under siding or into places it shouldn’t go. The cleaning solutions do the work, not brute force pressure. Many Dayton homes were built in the 1970s and 1960s, which means materials that require careful handling. Our 15+ years of experience includes extensive work with older construction methods and materials, so we know how to clean effectively without causing damage that could cost thousands to repair.
Power washing uses high-pressure water (often 2,500+ PSI) to blast away dirt and grime. It works well on concrete driveways and sidewalks, but it’s too aggressive for most house siding, especially vinyl siding that can be difficult to clean with dirt and pollen buildup. Soft washing uses much lower pressure (under 500 PSI) combined with specialized cleaning solutions that break down organic growth like algae, mildew, and bacteria. The solution does the cleaning work, and the low pressure rinses it away without forcing water where it shouldn’t go. For house washing in Dayton, soft washing is almost always the right choice. It’s safer for your siding, more effective at killing organic growth, and the results last longer because it actually eliminates the root cause of staining rather than just blasting it off temporarily.
Most Dayton homes take between 2-4 hours to wash completely, depending on size, condition, and how much detail work is needed around trim and architectural features. Before we start, we do a walkthrough to identify any areas that need special attention, note delicate features like outdoor lighting or decorative elements, and explain our process. We’ll move or cover outdoor furniture and plants that could be affected by cleaning solutions. During the work, you’ll see us applying cleaning solutions first, letting them work for the right amount of time, then rinsing with appropriate pressure for each surface. We’re not rushing – we’re being thorough. When we’re finished, we do a final walkthrough with you to make sure everything meets expectations before we pack up and leave.
Yes, exterior window cleaning is included with house washing service. When we’re cleaning siding, we clean the windows in their frames, including the glass, sills, and surrounding trim. However, this is exterior-only cleaning. If you want interior window cleaning or detailed work on window screens, that’s typically a separate service. But for most homeowners, the exterior window cleaning that comes with house washing makes a dramatic difference in how much light gets into your home. With single-family detached homes making up 82.16% of Dayton’s housing units, most properties have numerous windows that benefit from professional cleaning. Clean windows not only improve your home’s appearance from the street but also enhance your view of the beautiful Shenandoah Valley landscape.
