House washing in Chowchilla, CA

Stand across the street from a stucco house in Chowchilla and the story is usually easy to read: gray streaks running down from every window, a dingy band along the bottom where the sprinklers hit, and cobwebs hanging off the eaves. Dust from the surrounding farmland rides the wind, settles on the walls, and gets worked into the surface whenever fog or morning dew dampens it. Summers are hot enough to bake it in. A garden hose will not touch it, and a high-pressure washer can chip paint or crack stucco, so we soft wash instead. That keeps the finish intact, protects the windows and plants around the house, and still gets the walls looking like they did when the paint was new.

Soft washing means low pressure and a cleaning solution that breaks down dirt, mildew and algae at the source, followed by a careful rinse. We cover stucco, siding and other painted surfaces, plus eaves, soffits, fascia, window sills, doors and trim. Cobwebs and wasp nests under the eaves come down too. Shaded walls and spots near irrigated landscaping tend to grow a green or dark film, and we treat those areas as part of the job. We rinse the plants around your house before and after, so your landscaping stays protected. Window sills and door frames get wiped down as we go, which means the finished house looks clean from top to bottom rather than just in patches.

Most homeowners call us when they are about to repaint, list the house, or host family. A clean wall also makes it easier to see what truly needs paint. Newer subdivision homes and older houses near downtown Chowchilla both clean up well, and we wash small commercial buildings as well. We are licensed and insured, we come to Chowchilla from our Fresno and Clovis base, and estimates are free. If anything is missed, we come back and make it right.
