How Often Should I Wash My House?
Every year or two for most homes. The shady side of your house votes for sooner.
Once every one to two years for most Vancouver homes. Shaded walls, heavy tree cover, and damp north-facing sides grow algae faster and may need a yearly wash. A regular soft wash keeps mildew from ever getting a foothold, which is much easier than scrubbing off years of it.
Signs Your Siding Is Due
Walk around the house after a rain and look for these. Catch them early and the wash is quick. Wait a few years and that film becomes a stain that takes real work to lift:
- Green film creeping up the shady side of the house
- Black streaks running down from the gutter line
- Grime that a garden hose won't rinse off
- White or light trim that's gone dull and gray
Make One Visit Count
Our house soft washing uses low pressure and eco-safe solutions, so paint, trim and older siding come through clean and undamaged. It's gentle enough for every side of the house, including that green north wall.
Since the crew is already there, bundle the rest of the exterior. Gutter cleaning keeps winter rain moving where it should, and window and screen cleaning finishes the job so the whole place shines. Multi-service bundles earn a discount, so one visit beats three. Tell us what's bugging you most and we'll build the visit around it.
The Short Answer
How often should I wash my house?
Most Vancouver homes need soft washing every 1 to 2 years. Homes with heavy shade, tree cover or damp north-facing walls may need it yearly to stop algae and mildew. Regular washing is easier and cheaper than removing years of buildup at once.
