House Washing In Charleston, SC
Gentle House Washing for Charleston's
Historic and Coastal Homes
Living on the coast has its perks, but the Lowcountry climate is hard on the outside of a home. Hot, humid summers and steady salt air give algae and mildew everything they need to take hold, and siding here starts to look dingy and green a lot faster than it would in a drier place. Regular, gentle cleaning is what keeps that growth from settling in and turning into a bigger problem.
That is the kind of work we do on a regular basis. Our crew soft washes the exterior of one-, two-, and three-story homes, lifting algae, mildew, and grime off vinyl and hardie board siding without the high pressure that can do more harm than good. We keep the whole thing straightforward, so you know what is happening and when.
If your siding is looking tired, give us a call at (843) 790-4298, and we will get you a plan.
The Siding Types We
Clean in Charleston
We soft wash the siding types you see most often on homes around here, and the gentle process stays the same no matter which one you have.
Vinyl
Siding
Vinyl is the most common siding on Charleston-area homes, and it takes well to a soft wash. A low-pressure clean lifts the algae, mildew, and grime off the panels without the high pressure that can crack vinyl or force water in behind it.
Hardie Board
Siding
Hardie board, the fiber-cement siding you find on a lot of local homes, cleans up just as safely. We use the same low-pressure, heavily diluted approach so the surface comes clean without any risk to it.
Oxidation Removal
for Faded Siding
Older vinyl and painted or metal surfaces can build up a dull, chalky film over time. That is oxidation, and a standard wash on its own will not fully lift it. It leaves siding looking faded and tired even after everything else is clean.
When your home has that problem, we can treat the oxidized siding as part of the wash. We apply an oxidation-removal solution, keep it wet for several minutes so it never dries out on the surface, then rinse it off to bring back a cleaner, less chalky look. It is a real improvement to faded siding, not a repaint or a refinish, and we will set honest expectations about what it can do when we look at your home.
Why Charleston Homeowners
Choose Us for House Washing
Here is what you can count on when you have us out to wash your home.
Safe Soft-Wash Methods That Protect Your Siding
We use low-pressure soft washing, 300 PSI or less on roofs, and heavily diluted, plant-conscious solutions, so surfaces get clean without getting damaged. On your siding that means the growth comes off gently, with none of the risk that high pressure brings to vinyl and hardie boards.
Commercial-Grade Equipment That Reaches Every Story
We run commercial-grade pressure washers on flatbed trucks, which lets us reach and handle jobs of any size across Charleston, residential or commercial. For a house wash, that truck-mounted setup means the crew can soft wash the full exterior of a home whether it is a single story or three stories tall.
Reliability and Clear Communication
We show up when we say we will and keep you in the loop from the first call through the finished job; reliability and clear communication are what set us apart in Charleston. For your house wash, that is a scheduled window you can plan around and updates from the first call to the last rinse.
Fully Licensed and Insured
We are fully licensed and insured, so your home is protected throughout the house washing process. From your siding, windows, and exterior fixtures to the landscaping below, we take the right precautions before cleaning begins and remain careful through the final walkthrough.
A Locally Owned Charleston Crew
We are a locally owned, Charleston-based crew, and we have seen firsthand what Lowcountry humidity and salt air do to local siding. That means we know how to clean it safely and what it takes to keep it looking good.

How Our
House Washing Process Works
From your first call to the finished job, here is how a house wash goes.
Your Free
Estimate
It starts with a phone call, an online request, or an in-person visit. We’ll ask about your home’s size, layout, and any concerns you have. From there, we may inspect the property to confirm the scope. Once we’ve looked at everything and given you a clear quote, you approve the work, and we get it on the schedule.
Approve
and Schedule
Once you approve the estimate, we book the job and set a time that fits your schedule.
Setup, Protecting
Plants and Pets
Before any solution goes on the house, the crew pre-wets and waters down the landscaping around it, and we ask that pets be kept inside and clear of the work area. A little setup up front keeps everything around your home safe.
The Soft Wash,
One Side at a Time
We pre-wet the siding, apply a heavily diluted cleaning solution, and let it dwell so it can break down the algae and mildew, then rinse it off, working one side of the house at a time. It is low-pressure soft washing the whole way through, never high pressure on the siding. If faded, oxidized siding is part of the job, the oxidation-removal treatment goes on at this stage, kept wet and then rinsed. We use commercial-grade truck-mounted equipment, heavily diluted soft-wash solutions, and an oxidation-removal chemical where it is needed.
Final Walkthrough
and Invoice
When the exterior is finished, we walk the completed work with you. The invoice comes after the job is done and you are happy with it, and we send photos of the finished result. We stand behind everything we do, so if anything is not right, we want to hear about it.
House Washing Pricing
in Charleston
House washing is priced by the square footage of the home, with the final quote also accounting for its layout and the level of detail involved.
- House Washing Starting at $300: Straightforward, single-story homes are typically closer to the starting price. Additional stories, porches, cutouts, and more complex layouts increase the amount of time and work required, with larger homes costing up to approximately $2,000.
- Bundle and save (residential). Book house washing alongside other services and save, with 5% off for two services, 10% off for three or more services. Pair house washing with a driveway clean, for example, or with windows and a driveway, and the discount applies as a standing offer for residential customers.

FAQs
How long does a house washing take?
A typical house wash takes about 1 to 3 hours. The exact time depends on the size of the home, the number of stories, and details like cutouts and porches, so a larger or more detailed house will take longer than a small, simple one.
What if my house has pre-existing damage?
If a home has pre-existing damage, we’ll talk through it with you before washing — sometimes the right call is to hold off until it’s addressed. We will not wash a home with significant existing damage without going over it with you first, because the goal is to leave your house better than we found it, not to make a problem worse.
