Before and after

Same siding, same afternoon.

Green on the shaded side, black streaks under the gutters, a roof that looks ten years older than it is. This is what the solution does, with no pressure on the siding.

Straight answers

Questions people ask us

What is soft washing?

Low-pressure cleaning with a solution and soap. It is a lot gentler than the power washing most people know, and the solution gets to the root of organic growth like algae, moss and dirt instead of spraying water at high pressure.

Is soft washing safe for vinyl, cedar, brick and LP siding?

Yes. That is the point of it. The pressure is close to a garden hose, so water does not get forced behind siding or into trim. The solution does the cleaning, and we rinse it all off.

Do I need to be home?

Usually not. We need an outdoor spigot and access to the areas being cleaned. We text before we arrive and do a final walk-around with you if you are there.

When do I pay?

If you are home, after we walk around the property with you and you give us the OK. If nobody will be home, we take payment ahead of time, or you can leave a check out for us before we start. Nothing is charged when you book.

Are the windows cleaned during a house wash?

Window and door frames are part of every house wash. Cleaning the glass itself is an add-on: $10 a window with a $200 minimum, done on the same visit.

Where do you work?

We are based in Lakemoor and work across Lake and McHenry County, Illinois, from McHenry and Crystal Lake to Barrington, Mundelein, Arlington Heights and Lake Zurich. Type your address on the quote page and it will tell you if you are in range.
