Soft wash house washing in Sanger

Most homes in Sanger have stucco walls, and stucco acts a lot like a sponge for dust. Every breezy day carries a little more in from the orchards, vineyards and dirt roads around town. It settles into the texture, and then a winter storm or a sprinkler hitting the wall turns it into dark streaks under windows and along the base. Shaded walls on the north side can grow mildew or green algae, and the eaves fill up with cobwebs, spiders and the occasional wasp nest.

Blasting stucco with high pressure can erode the finish and push water where it doesn’t belong, so we soft wash instead. We pre-rinse your plants, cover outlets and fixtures where needed, and apply a cleaning solution at low pressure. It sits on the walls long enough to loosen dirt and break down organic growth, while we keep the landscaping wet. Then we rinse everything from top to bottom, including windows and walkways, and walk around the house to touch up anything we missed. Eaves, soffits, fascia, doors and trim are all part of the wash.

For most Sanger homes, once a year keeps the walls looking fresh. Houses next to farmland, under big shade trees or with sprinklers that hit the stucco may want it more often. Spring is a popular time, after the rains and before summer dust gets going, and fall works well ahead of holiday guests. If you’re planning to repaint or sell, wash first so new paint goes onto a clean surface and listing photos look sharp. We wash homes, rentals and small commercial buildings around town. We’re licensed and insured, estimates are free, and if any part of the job isn’t right, we’ll come back.
