House Washing in Lake Barrington,
Looks refreshed

We can clean nearly any exterior residential or commercial surface in Lake Barrington — 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 custom-formulated cleaning solutions that do the actual work. 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.

While a single wash offers quick results, sustaining your carpet's appearance and avoiding lasting damage calls for regular care.

• 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 turn the pressure up high and cross their fingers. We've seen the damage that approach causes. Siding scarred, paint stripped, water driven into walls. Soft wash plus the right chemistry delivers better results with none of the dangers.
