House Washing That Takes Years Off Your Home in One Afternoon
The green haze on the north wall. The spider webs in the eaves. The film that makes white siding look beige. One professional house wash erases all of it — starting around $349 for an average two-story home.
The Highest-Impact Few Hundred Dollars You Can Spend on Your Home
A professional house wash changes how a property looks faster than new landscaping or a painted door. In a single visit, years of accumulated algae, mildew, dust, pollen, and spider activity disappear, and most of the color your siding had on installation day comes back.
Our process is 100% soft wash: low-pressure water carries a professionally mixed cleaning solution across every surface of your home's exterior, killing organic growth at the root before a thorough freshwater rinse carries it all away. Vinyl, aluminum, brick, stucco, painted wood — each material gets a solution mix calibrated to what it can handle and what's growing on it.
It's also the service where our pricing is simple: an average two-story home starts around $349, your exact quote arrives within 24 hours, and the number we quote is the number you pay.
What an MPWS House Wash Includes
- All siding surfaces — every wall, every story, top to bottom
- Soffits, fascia & gutters' exterior faces — the details that frame the house
- Cobweb & nest removal — eaves, corners, and light fixtures cleared
- Window frames & shutters — washed along with the walls they sit in
- Porch ceilings & entryways — the first thing guests see, never an afterthought
- Landscape protection throughout — pre-wetting, covering, and final rinse-down
Your Siding Has a Lifespan. Grime Shortens It.
Algae and mildew aren't passive stains — they're organisms feeding on the surface they colonize. On vinyl, prolonged growth bakes in permanent shadowing. On painted surfaces, it lifts and flakes the finish. On any material, it holds moisture against your home through every freeze-thaw cycle Michigan can deliver.
An annual wash costs a fraction of one repainted wall or one replaced siding section, which is why so many of our house-washing clients are on a yearly cadence: it's routine upkeep, and the cheapest insurance their exterior can get. Bundle it with gutter cleaning or window cleaning and the crew handles everything in one visit.

House Washing FAQs
How much does house washing cost?
House washing starts at $349, with exact pricing based on square footage, siding material, and level of buildup. Larger homes and heavy growth run more. Your free estimate itemizes it all before you commit.
Is soft washing safe for all siding types?
Yes — that's exactly why we use it. Vinyl, aluminum, wood, brick, stucco, and composite siding all clean beautifully under low pressure with the right solution mix. High pressure is what damages siding, and it never touches yours.
How often should I have my house washed?
Every one to three years is the sweet spot for most Macomb County homes — annually for shaded or lakeside lots, every two to three years for open, sunny ones. If you're unsure, send us a photo — we'll tell you whether it's time.
Do I need to do anything to prepare?
Very little. Close your windows, move fragile items off porches, and make sure we can reach an outdoor spigot. We handle the rest, including protecting landscaping and outlet covers.
