House soft washing
Low pressure and the right detergent on siding, stucco, brick, soffit and gutters. Mildew and algae killed at the root rather than blasted off the surface along with your paint.

Pressure Washing in Monroe, GA
The cheapest thing you can do for the house.
A wash is the highest-return exterior work there is: a few hundred dollars that makes a house look years younger and keeps organic growth from eating into the paint and the wood. The trick is pressure discipline — soft wash on anything painted, and real pressure only on hardscape that can take it.
What this division does
Six kinds of pressure washing work we take on.
Each of these is quoted as its own line item, so a project that only needs one of them is not carrying the cost of the other five.
Driveways and walkways
Surface-cleaner passes with even overlap so you do not get zebra stripes. Rust, oil, tannin and battery acid treated as their own problems with their own chemistry.
Decks, patios and screened porches
Cleaned and brightened at a pressure the wood can survive, ready for stain or sealer. We can wash only, or wash and finish in one trip.
Roof soft wash
The black streaking on asphalt shingles is algae and it is removable without pressure. Chemistry and dwell time, never a wand on a roof.
Fences and retaining walls
Wood, vinyl and masonry. Washing before staining is most of the reason a stain job lasts, and it is the step most often skipped.
Commercial and recurring
Storefronts, dumpster pads, sidewalks, drive-throughs and parking decks, on a monthly or quarterly schedule with before-and-after photos on file.
How we run it
The order matters more than the materials.
Walk and protect
Plants pre-wetted and covered, fixtures and outlets protected, drainage path identified before the pump starts.
Treat
Detergent applied and given its dwell time. This is the step that actually does the work.
Rinse at the right pressure
Soft wash on anything painted or coated. Pressure only where the substrate can take it.
Final rinse and check
Landscaping rinsed, windows checked for spotting, walk-around with you if you are home.

Pressure Washing questions
Straight answers, including the price ones.
How much does pressure washing a house cost?
A typical single-family soft wash in our area runs $250 to $600 depending on square footage, height and how much organic growth there is. Driveways are generally priced per square foot. Bundling the house, driveway and walkways in one visit is meaningfully cheaper than three separate trips because the setup is most of the cost.
Will pressure washing damage my siding or paint?
High pressure absolutely can — it drives water behind siding, etches wood and strips coatings. That is why painted and coated surfaces get soft-washed: low pressure plus the right detergent, which cleans better anyway because it kills the organism instead of knocking it loose.
How often should I wash my house in Georgia?
Every one to two years for most homes here. Shaded north elevations and anything under tree cover grow back faster and may want annual attention. Washing before a repaint is not optional — it is the first step of prep.
Can you remove the black streaks on my roof?
Yes. Those streaks are gloeocapsa magma, an algae, and they come off with a soft wash and the correct chemistry. Anyone putting a pressure wand on an asphalt roof is removing granules and shortening its life.

Bundle it and you pay for the trip once.
Mobilization is a real cost. Combining divisions on one scope is cheaper than hiring each trade separately, and it means one schedule instead of three.
