House Washing
in Stamford, CT
Clear Algae and Mildew Off Your Stamford Siding
Living near the coast in southern New England means humid summers, heavy tree cover, and plenty of shaded, north-facing walls. Those are exactly the conditions that grow algae, mildew, and organic grime on siding. Add the freeze and thaw of the seasons, and the exterior of a Stamford home can start to look dull, green, and streaked long before it should.
We clean it off the right way. We soft wash home exteriors, using a low-pressure cleaning solution that lifts algae, mildew, and grime without the high pressure that can crack, warp, or etch your siding. It is the difference between a house that looks tired and one that looks cared for. We have built our work around doing this kind of cleaning correctly, on delicate surfaces, without cutting corners.

The Siding Types We Clean in Stamford
Our soft-wash process is matched to the material your home is clad in, so a delicate finish gets cleaned without being damaged by pressure.
Vinyl Siding
Vinyl is the most common siding around Stamford, and it responds well to a gentle approach. Soft washing lifts algae and mildew off the surface and out of the seams without cracking or warping the panels. The low-pressure solution goes on, dwells, and rinses off, with no high pressure at any point.
Painted Siding
Painted siding is cleaned by soft wash only, so the surface comes clean without the paint getting lifted or dulled. The solution does the work, which is what keeps the finish intact.
HardieBoard / Fiber-Cement Siding
Fiber-cement holds up well to soft washing, so we clean it with the same gentle treat-and-rinse approach we use everywhere else. The solution breaks down the buildup on the surface, and there is no pressure involved that could chip or etch the board.
Wood Siding
Wood is porous and easily damaged by pressure, so we handle it gently. We soft wash and rinse rather than blast, which clears off the organic growth without raising the grain.
Stained Siding
On stained siding, the soft wash preserves the stain while it removes algae, mildew, and grime. Nothing about the process strips the finish.
Why Stamford Homeowners Choose Us for House Washing
Beyond the cleaning itself, here is what you get when we wash your house.
We Soft Wash, No High Pressure on Your Siding
We soft wash, with no high pressure blasting your siding, roof, or deck. It is the right way to clean delicate surfaces without causing damage. On a house wash specifically, that means your siding, paint, and stained finishes are cleaned by the solution rather than by force, so the material is protected.
Fast Callback and a Next-Day Estimate
When you reach out, you hear back fast. We aim to get you an estimate within 24 hours and out to your Stamford property the next day. For a house wash, that means quick, responsive scheduling instead of waiting a week to even hear back.
Exterior Cleaning Is All We Do
Exterior cleaning is all we do. All day, every day, we are washing houses, roofs, and windows, so you get specialists, not a jack-of-all-trades. Washing houses is the core of the work, which means you get a specialist on your siding rather than a generalist who does it now and then.
Before-and-After Photos on Every Job
We take before-and-after photos on every job, including the spots you cannot see for yourself, so you know exactly what got done. For a house wash, that means you can see the difference across the whole exterior, including the shaded and hard-to-see walls where the growth tends to build up.

How Our House Washing Process Works
From your first call to the final walkthrough, here is exactly how a house wash goes.
Your Free Next-Day Estimate
You reach out and we collect your name, phone, email, and address. Then we come out in person, usually the next day, walk the property, and see what the house actually needs. You get a free estimate, most often within 24 hours of first contacting us. Occasionally, for a property that is far out or a customer who would rather not meet, we quote over the phone using a quick property look-up.
Scheduling and Reminders
Once you approve the estimate, we book the work, typically within one to two weeks. You will get an email seven days out, another three days out, and a text the day before with timing and details, so the day of the wash is never a surprise.
Property and Plant Protection
On the day, we connect to your water, walk the property, and protect it before anything else happens. That means taping off outlets and doorbells, and pre-soaking, rinsing, and covering the plants and landscaping around the house. We take every precaution to protect your plants and landscaping, pre-soaking and rinsing vegetation and covering sensitive areas so your property is cared for like our own.
The Soft Wash
We apply the low-pressure soft-wash solution one section at a time and let it dwell so it breaks down the algae and mildew, then rinse it away. We repeat that as needed, usually around three passes, until the siding is clean. The whole job runs on soft wash and our professional soft-wash equipment, never high pressure.
Before-and-After Photos
We document the job with before-and-after photos, including the shaded and hard-to-see walls, so you can see exactly what got done, not just the parts of the house you walk past every day.
Final Walkthrough and Invoice
At the end, we walk the finished house with you and confirm you are happy before anything is invoiced. Payment follows your satisfaction, not the other way around.
What House Washing Costs in Stamford
Most Stamford house washes fall inside a documented range, and the final figure depends on a few straightforward factors laid out below.
- House Washing: Starts around $600; most house washes fall between $600 and $1,500, with an average around $900. It is priced primarily by square footage and how much algae, mildew, and grime has built up, with travel distance a minor factor. Larger, dirtier, or harder-to-access homes land toward the upper end. Most washes take roughly two to three hours.
- Bundle discount: a house wash is priced better when it is booked alongside another service, such as a roof wash, gutter cleaning, window cleaning, or deck cleaning on the same visit. Ask about it when you get your estimated.
- Add-ons: some jobs come with an extra thrown in, like a walkway rinsed off while we are already there. It is worth asking about at the estimate rather than something we publish as a standing offer.
Maintenance Plans
For homeowners who would rather not think about it, we offer a Maintenance Plan. Your home stays clean year-round, and we automate the scheduling and the billing, so it is one less thing you have to think about. Here is what that looks like for your siding:
- Year-round clean siding: your house wash comes back around on a set cadence, so algae and mildew never get the chance to take hold again.
- Scheduling and billing handled: we automate both, so you never have to remember to book your next wash.
- Priority scheduling: maintenance-plan customers are our top priority when it comes to getting on the calendar.

What Customers Say
House Washing FAQs
Will soft washing damage my siding or strip my paint?
No, soft washing is specifically the method that avoids that. We use a low-pressure cleaning solution that breaks down algae and mildew, so the cleaning is done by the solution rather than by high-pressure force that can crack panels, etch board, or lift paint and stain. The solution is applied, left to dwell, and rinsed, repeated as needed until the siding is clean.
Are the products you use safe for my plants and landscaping?
We take full precautions to protect your landscaping. Before we start, we pre-soak and rinse the surrounding plants and cover the sensitive areas, so the growth comes off your house without your beds and shrubs taking the hit. We take every precaution to protect your plants and landscaping, pre-soaking and rinsing vegetation and covering sensitive areas so your property is cared for like our own.
How long does a house wash take?
A typical house wash takes about two to three hours. The exact time varies with the size of the home, how accessible it is, your water pressure, and the weather that day.
Can you remove rust or irrigation stains while you wash the house?
Yes, rust removal is a common add-on to a house wash, and we use a dedicated rust remover rather than pressure. Most rust staining lifts to about 90–95%. If the source of the staining, like an irrigation leak, isn’t corrected, the rust will return, so we’ll always point out the cause.
Do you use my water, or do you bring your own?
We typically use your outdoor water supply to wash the house. We can bring our own, but it is usually not enough to clean a whole house, so your supply is the norm.
