Soft wash house washing at Bass Lake

Wood siding and trim look great at the lake, and they are not forgiving. Shade from tall pines keeps walls damp long after the sun has moved on, and that is where green algae and dark mildew take hold. Add pollen, dust, and webs under every eave, and a cabin can look tired fast. Blasting that wood with a pressure washer is the wrong answer. It can gouge soft grain, push water behind boards and strip paint. That’s why we soft wash instead. A gentle wash costs the wood far less than years of letting growth sit on it, and it brings back the warm color of the siding.

Soft washing means we apply a cleaning solution at low pressure, let it work on the growth, and rinse it away gently. It cleans the siding, eaves, soffits, fascia, window sills, doors and trim, and it clears cobwebs and wasp nests along the way. We pay attention to light fixtures, outlets and vents, and we wet down the landscaping before and after so your plants are protected. Painted surfaces and wood trim get the same low-pressure approach, matched to what each surface can take. Hard-to-reach gables and second-story walls are no problem for us.

Timing matters up here. Many owners schedule a wash in late spring, so the house looks fresh for summer guests, and some rental hosts add it ahead of busy weekends. Because the exterior work needs access to the property and a water spigot, you often don’t have to be there. We’re based in Fresno and Clovis and drive up for lake homes and cabins alike.
