Highwood House Washing

Restore the Pride of Place.

Your house battles Illinois weather every day, and it's slowly losing ground. A stained roof, discolored siding, grimy windows, and clogged gutters accumulate. It doesn't take long before your home starts looking aged and neglected. Our House Washing service restores it.

Soft washing is our method of choice for nearly all surfaces. Vinyl, brick, wood, stucco, and even concrete trim all respond well to this approach. Soft wash pairs low-pressure water (no stronger than a shower head) with specialized detergents engineered to lift dirt and grime. High pressure can drive water under siding, into vulnerable spots, and cause real damage. We don't take that risk.

A Tip For Highwood Homes

Living in those older Highwood bungalows near Fort Sheridan, you're dealing with lake-bluff humidity that really clings to brick and siding. That moisture trapped in tight urban lots means mold and algae creep in faster than most folks realize. A good house wash every couple of years isn't just about looks—it actually protects your home's exterior from that damp air eating away at your paint and mortar. Call (847) 951-9636 to talk through what your particular place needs.

The Details

How Soft Wash Works,
And Why It's Safer.

Tap to expand each section. The "what's included" and "process" sections answer the most common questions.

We can clean nearly any exterior residential or commercial surface in Highwood — multi-story rooftops, greasy driveways, the works. The standard house wash specifically covers:

  • Home siding (vinyl, brick, wood, stucco, fiber cement)
  • Trim and decorative features
  • Gutters and downspouts (exterior surface)
  • Window frames

On everything besides concrete, soft washing is our method of choice. Soft wash uses pressure as low as your shower head, with specialized cleaning formulas that perform the cleaning action. The outcomes are exceptional while protecting your surfaces from the damage that high pressure can inflict by forcing water into delicate spots.

Before we start, we walk the exterior to identify every area that needs attention.

  1. 01

    Protect & Prep

    Sensitive landscaping covered, obstructions cleared, fixtures protected.

  2. 02

    Pre-Rinse

    Pre-rinse all surfaces to clear loose debris and cool the surface for the detergent application.

  3. 03

    Apply Detergent & Algaecide

    Custom-formulated detergents and algaecides go on at low pressure to fully cover all exterior surfaces. We let it sit so the chemistry breaks down stains and grime at the roots.

  4. 04

    Rinse

    Thorough rinse with low-pressure water removes dirt, algae, and organic growth. Note: this removes cobwebs, but it's not pest control. If you have a real bug problem, that's a separate call to a pest service.

  5. 05

    Cleanup

    Proper removal of any waste from the cleaning process. We leave the space cleaner than we found it.

Our 2-year guarantee. All house washing services come with a 2-year guarantee against organic regrowth on home siding. We're confident enough in the process to stand behind it.

  • Curb appeal. The most obvious one. The house looks new again.
  • Property durability. Mildew, algae, dirt, and mold accelerate siding wear. Removing them extends how long the exterior lasts.
  • Healthier environment. Mold spores in particular shouldn't be on the side of a home where windows open into them. Removing them genuinely improves the air around the property.

Doing it yourself is feasible but discouraged. Without professional equipment, expertise, and the right purified water, the job demands significantly more effort and typically falls short of professional-quality results. You also risk damaging surfaces from using incorrect pressure.

One wash can provide immediate results, yet keeping your carpet's look and protecting it from long-term wear demands ongoing maintenance.

  • Siding: Annually or every few years, depending on tree cover and exposure.
  • Driveways & sidewalks: More often — they take more abuse.
  • Roofs: Annually or at least every 2 years. Neglected roofs can lead to structural issues, not just cosmetic ones.

Most exterior cleaners rely on maximum pressure without a real plan. We've seen the destruction it creates. Scarred siding, stripped paint, and water forced deep into wall cavities. Soft wash plus the right chemistry does a better job without any of those risks.

Operating as a family-owned business in Lake County since 2016, you get the same team on your service visits. If you're not satisfied with the results, Paul personally inspects the work, we re-clean at no charge, and we make it right.

I was astounded by the results. I had my filthy, stained couch and ottoman cleaned, and they turned out better than I thought possible. They took my dog-stained 9 x 12 rug with them and I'm excited to see those results too.

Great communication, arrived on time and very thorough cleaning. We have a light colored carpet and they were able to remove all the stains. Carpet looks great and done at a fair price! Very professional. I highly recommend.

Why House Washing
Matters for Highwood Homes.

Living in Highwood means dealing with the kind of moisture and humidity that comes with being near the lake bluff, which can really take a toll on those beautiful pre-war bungalows and older storefronts that give our community so much character. The tight urban lots and dense building styles here create perfect conditions for mildew, algae, and dirt buildup that regular cleaning just can't handle. House washing isn't a luxury in Highwood—it's practically a necessity if you want to protect your home's exterior and keep those historic facades looking their best. Whether you're in the Fort Sheridan area or closer to Downtown Highwood, the lake-influenced weather means your siding, brick, and trim need professional attention regularly. A good house wash removes the buildup that damages paint and materials over time, especially important when you're living in structures that deserve proper care. We serve Highwood residents and keep our Lake Villa office at 72 Balsam Ave readily accessible for your convenience. Give us a call at (847) 951-9636 to schedule your cleaning.
