Green algae on the north wall comes back fast when it is only rinsed off. We soft wash, which removes the growth itself rather than just the surface, so your siding stays clean for months longer. Most Raleigh homes run $249 to $419.

Vinyl hangs loose and laps downward, so spraying up drives water behind the panels where it can sit and streak later. The siding industry says hold the wand level and never aim it upward. We follow that, and the cleaner does the work instead of the pressure.
RDU averages more than forty three inches of rain a year, and August mornings sit near ninety percent humidity. State health guidance puts the line at seventy percent relative humidity, past which mold will almost certainly grow. The shaded north side of a house goes green first.
Most Raleigh houses need this once a year, and we would rather say that than sell you a schedule. Trim, soffit and the shaded walls take the longest, so square footage alone does not set the price. You get the number before anything gets wet.
Draw a palm down a sunny wall. Chalking is the paint binder breaking down under sunlight and releasing pigment, and there is a standardized rub test for exactly this. That loose powder is what streaks the brick and the walk underneath after every rain.
Under the eaves, behind the porch, on the shaded return. CertainTeed says mildew is usually detected in areas not subjected to rainfall, which is why the sheltered faces green first while the exposed ones look fine. Shade plus held moisture, not dirt.
NC State Extension asks for at least six inches between grade and the lowest siding course, with mulch never touching either. A dirt band low on the wall means water and soil are being thrown back at a joint that was never meant to take it.
The federal fire administration lists failure to clean as the leading factor in home clothes dryer fires. Lint on the siding around the hood means the duct is restricted and the damper is not closing. Worth handling before it is a wall stain question.
Iron above three tenths of a milligram per liter gives water a rusty reddish or orange cast under EPA secondary standards, and manganese does the same in black or brown. Fan shaped stains inside an irrigation arc are minerals, not mildew.
The state runs its only pollen sampler here in Raleigh, and tree pollen peaks late March into early April. Pine grains are two to three times larger than hardwood pollen, which is why the coat on your siding is visible from the street.
James Hardie sets wide fan tips, 6 feet of standoff and under 1500 psi for fiber cement. The Brick Industry Association caps brick at 400 psi. The polymeric siding association defers to the panel maker on vinyl. Three claddings, three rules.
The brick guidance is to soak the work area and the brickwork under it at below 100 psi first, so the masonry is already saturated and cannot pull cleaner into its pores. On siding the same step keeps solution from drying where it lands.
Hardie says work top to bottom. The vinyl guidance says work bottom up and hold the wand level, because aiming the stream upward forces water behind the panels. There is no universal direction, and anyone who says otherwise is guessing.
Two manufacturers state the same rule independently: never let cleaner dry on the surface. EPA makes the companion point that growth has to be removed rather than only treated, so the rinse does the work and the dwell only softens it.
Clean siding shows you what dirty siding hides. We walk the elevations for chalking, failed caulk joints, hairline cracks at the trim, and the spots where growth returns first because rain never reaches them to wash the wall down.

Soft washing uses low pressure plus a cleaning solution that breaks down the algae, mold, and mildew staining rather than just knocking the surface layer off. High pressure on vinyl siding forces water up behind the panels and can strip paint off wood and fiber cement. Soft washing is also why the results last. A pressure rinse looks clean for a few weeks, a soft wash holds for the better part of a year.
A house wash is $249 up to 1,500 square feet, $299 up to 2,000, $339 up to 2,500, $379 up to 3,000, and $419 up to 3,300. What moves the number is linear footage, how much of the wall is shaded, and whether there is heavy organic growth or spider webbing in the eaves. Adding the driveway or the walkway at the same visit is the cheapest it will ever be.
Yes. We saturate the beds and shrubs with clean water before we start, keep them wet through the wash, and rinse everything down when we finish, which dilutes anything that lands. Pets should stay inside during the wash and can go back out once the surfaces have been rinsed and dried, usually about an hour after we pack up. The same care carries over to the flatwork when we clean the driveway, and on shingles we switch entirely to a low pressure roof soft wash. Pricing is broken out by square footage and siding type on our house washing cost page.
