House Washing FAQ for Charleston Homeowners

How often should Charleston homeowners get house washing?
Given Charleston's hot, humid subtropical climate averaging 90°f in summer with high dewpoints, most homeowners benefit from house washing at least once a year. Year-round termite monitoring (one of the worst cities in the US for termites) often makes spring or fall the optimal time to schedule service.
What home types in Charleston most need house washing?
Single and double-pile Charleston single house style (architectural signature) and Antebellum mansions on the Charleston Peninsula are the most common home types in Charleston and typically see the most wear. Our local pros are familiar with the exterior materials found across the metro.
What's the difference between soft washing and pressure washing?
Pressure washing uses high water pressure to mechanically remove surface dirt. Soft washing uses low pressure combined with professional cleaning solutions that kill and remove biological growth — algae, mold, mildew — at the root for longer-lasting results.
Is soft washing safe for painted siding?
Yes. Soft washing is actually recommended for painted surfaces because high pressure can chip, peel, or damage paint. Our solutions are formulated to clean without harming exterior finishes.
How long will house washing results last?
In most climates, professional soft washing keeps exterior surfaces clean for 2–4 years. Homes in very humid environments or under heavy tree cover may need cleaning every 1–2 years.
