Soft washing & pressure washing in Middle Tennessee

Your house
isn't that
color.

Tennessee humidity grows algae on your siding, mildew in your gutter seams and black streaks down your driveway. We take it off. Low pressure where it matters, real pressure where it doesn't, and a price you can read before we ever knock on your door.

What we clean

Six services, one truck, one visit

Most homes across Middle Tennessee need two or three of these at once. Book them together and the price drops. Details are in the pricing section.

House soft washing

Low pressure detergent on siding, brick, stucco and Hardie board. It kills the algae at the root instead of blasting it off, so it stays clean roughly twice as long. Plants get soaked before and rinsed after.

From $299, single story

Driveways & concrete

Surface cleaner on driveways, walkways, patios and pool decks, with no zebra striping. We finish with a post treatment that slows the algae from coming back through the winter.

$0.22 per sq ft, $149 minimum

Roof soft washing

Those black streaks are gloeocapsa magma, a living algae eating your shingle granules. We treat it at low pressure per ARMA guidelines. Never a pressure washer on a roof, because that voids most shingle warranties.

From $549, most single story roofs

Gutter clearing & brightening

Two different jobs. Clearing pulls the debris out and flushes the downspouts. Brightening removes the black "tiger stripes" on the gutter face, which no amount of rinsing will touch.

Clear from $129, brighten from $175

Decks & fences

Pressure dialed down for cedar, pine and composite so we clean the wood instead of furring it. If you're staining afterward, book us 48 hours ahead so the boards dry properly.

Decks from $129, fences from $1.85 per ft

Commercial & storefront

Restaurants, retail strips, apartment breezeways, dumpster pads and drive thru lanes. We work before open or after close, and we can hold a monthly or quarterly slot at a fixed rate.

$0.14 to $0.18 per sq ft, $350 minimum

The part you actually care about

Same surface, same day, one pass. Drag the sliders. No filters, no flattering angles, just the line where we stopped.

Drag it across

Ten years of moss and mildew on brick treads, and the washed treads beside them. Same steps, same visit, nothing changed but the water.

The wall that faces north

Textbook Tennessee shade problem. Streaks like this are organic growth, not stain. Low pressure and the right detergent take it off without harming the finish.

One pass, no scrubbing

Detergent does the work before the rinse ever reaches the wall. High pressure here would force water behind the panels, so we never do it that way.

How a job runs

Three steps, one crew, no surprises

Step 1

Complete online quote

Someone on our team will contact you within 24 hours to confirm pricing and scheduling.

Step 2

We prep, then we wash

Plants get soaked and we start at low pressure. If a surface needs more, we step up, not the other way around. Typical home takes three to five hours.

Step 3

You walk it with us

Before we pack up, you look at every surface with the crew lead. Anything you're not happy with, we redo it that day. Payment happens after, not before.

Questions

Straight answers

What's the difference between pressure washing and soft washing?

Pressure washing uses force. Soft washing uses a detergent at low pressure and lets chemistry do the work. Siding, painted surfaces, stucco and roofs get soft washed, because high pressure on those forces water behind the surface and strips finish. Concrete, brick pavers and most fencing can take real pressure. We use both, and we pick based on the surface, not on what's faster.

Will the detergent kill my landscaping?

Not the way we run it. Plants get a heavy water soak before we start, we tarp anything sensitive, and everything gets rinsed again when we finish. Saturated soil and leaves can't absorb much of anything. If you have a koi pond or a vegetable bed against the house, tell us and we'll work around it.

How often do Tennessee homes actually need this?

Once a year for most homes. Walls that face north and anything under tree cover go faster, because humidity plus shade is exactly what algae wants. Roofs stretch to every two to three years after the first treatment. Concrete in full sun can go two years easily.

Why is your price higher than the guy quoting $99?

Usually because that quote covers one side of the house with bleach and no rinse, and it's back to green in four months. We're licensed under #261533, we carry general liability, we post our rates, and we redo anything you're not happy with. We recommend service twice a year, which keeps the growth from ever getting a foothold. If price is the deciding factor, the annual plan gets you 10% off list and locks it for two years.

What's the best time of year to book?

Spring and early summer are our busiest, so lead times stretch to two or three weeks. December through February we run 10% off. The work is identical as long as we're above freezing, and it's the cheapest way to get on our schedule.
