Professional House Washing Harriston

What Clean Actually Looks Like

You’ll see the difference immediately. That green tint on your north-facing siding disappears. The black streaks under your gutters vanish. Your trim goes from dingy gray back to crisp white.

Your neighbors notice. Your property value reflects it. Most importantly, you’re protecting one of your biggest investments from the organic growth that slowly eats away at siding and paint.

This isn’t about making your house “good enough.” It’s about restoration that makes you proud to pull into your driveway again.

House Washing Process Harriston

How We Clean Your House Safely

We start with a thorough assessment of your home’s exterior surfaces. Different siding materials need different approaches—vinyl, wood, brick, and stucco each get customized treatment.

Our soft wash process uses low pressure combined with professional-grade cleaning solutions. This kills mold, mildew, and algae at the root while protecting your siding from the damage that high-pressure washing can cause. We pre-treat problem areas and give extra attention to heavily stained sections.

Before we leave, we walk the property with you to ensure every surface meets our standards. Your landscaping stays protected, your home looks renewed, and you have our contact information for any follow-up questions.

What's Included in Your Service

Your house washing service covers all exterior siding, trim, shutters, and accessible eaves. We clean your front and back porches, steps, and any attached decking or walkways that connect to the house.

In Harriston’s climate, homes face unique challenges. The humidity from nearby Shenandoah Valley creates perfect conditions for mold and mildew growth, especially on north-facing surfaces. Our process is specifically designed for Virginia’s weather patterns and the types of organic growth common in Augusta County.

We also clean your exterior light fixtures, mailbox, and address numbers—the details that complete the transformation. Every surface that contributes to your home’s curb appeal gets attention.

How often should I have my house washed in Harriston?

Most Harriston homes benefit from professional house washing every 18-24 months. Virginia’s humid climate and seasonal pollen create conditions where mold, mildew, and organic staining develop faster than in drier climates. Homes with significant tree coverage or those facing north may need annual cleaning, while homes in full sun with good drainage can often go two years between services. The key is addressing buildup before it becomes embedded in your siding material. We’ll assess your specific situation and recommend a maintenance schedule that keeps your home looking its best while protecting your investment long-term.
High-pressure washing can absolutely damage siding, which is why we use a soft wash approach instead. Our method uses low pressure—similar to a garden hose—combined with professional cleaning solutions that do the actual cleaning work. This process is safe for all siding types including vinyl, wood, brick, stucco, and painted surfaces. The cleaning solutions break down organic growth and stains, while the low pressure rinses everything away without forcing water behind siding or stripping paint. We’ve been using this method for over 15 Years without damage to customer properties. It’s more effective than high pressure alone and completely safe for your home’s exterior surfaces.
You’ll always reach a real person when you call us, not an answering service or voicemail system. We provide clear communication throughout the process and deliver invoices and estimates in person, the way business should be done. Our team holds multiple industry certifications and we’ve developed specialized cleaning processes for unique situations—like our cork-safe method for wineries. We’re not trying to be the cheapest option; we focus on doing the work right the first time. Most importantly, we live and work in this community. Your satisfaction affects our reputation with neighbors, friends, and family. That personal accountability drives everything we do.
Our house washing service focuses on siding, trim, and exterior surfaces. We don’t include interior window cleaning, but we do clean the exterior glass as part of our process when it’s accessible from ground level. For homes that need comprehensive window cleaning—inside and out, including second-story windows—we can provide that as a separate service or bundle it with your house washing for efficiency. We’ll discuss your specific needs during our estimate and recommend the best approach based on your home’s layout and your preferences for maintaining clean windows year-round.
Most single-story homes in Harriston take 2-4 hours to complete, while two-story homes typically require 4-6 hours. The exact time depends on your home’s size, the amount of buildup, and any special attention areas that need extra treatment. We don’t rush the process. Proper house washing requires time for pre-treatment solutions to work, careful attention to detail around landscaping and delicate surfaces, and thorough rinsing to ensure all cleaning residue is removed. We’ll provide a time estimate when we schedule your service and keep you informed if anything changes during the work. Our goal is thorough cleaning, not speed.
Close all windows and doors, and remove or cover any outdoor furniture, decorations, or equipment that could be affected by overspray. We’ll handle protecting your landscaping, but it helps if you can point out any particularly sensitive plants. Turn off exterior electrical connections if possible, and let us know about any areas of concern—loose siding, damaged caulking, or recent repairs that might need special attention. We’ll do a walkthrough before starting to identify anything that needs protection or special handling. The more you can tell us about your home’s specific needs, the better we can tailor our approach for optimal results.
