House Washing in Jacksonville, FL
Most houses in Jacksonville do not need paint. They need a wash. The gray cast on the north wall, the black streaks under the gutter line and the green film creeping up from the foundation are organic growth living on the surface, and once they come off the house looks close to the day it was finished.

What a house wash covers
We soft wash, which means low pressure and a detergent that kills what is growing instead of blasting it off. High pressure strips the dirt and leaves the spores behind, so the streaks come back in a season. It also forces water behind siding, into window seals and under trim, which is the expensive kind of mistake.
-
Siding, stucco and block
Vinyl, hardie, stucco and painted block all get the same low pressure treatment at a dilution matched to the surface.
-
Soffits and fascia
The underside of the eave holds more mildew than any other part of the house and is the part everyone forgets.
-
Gutter faces
The exterior of the gutter gets washed as part of the house. The tiger stripes come off with it.
-
Doors, trim and shutters
Frames, garage doors and shutters get cleaned by hand where the wand cannot reach cleanly.
-
Porch and entry
Ceilings, columns and the front step, so the part guests actually stand on matches the rest.
-
Landscaping protection
Beds get soaked with plain water before the first drop of detergent and rinsed again at the end.

What changes after
-
It reads as a new house from the curb
This is the cheapest thing you can do to an exterior that changes how the whole property looks.
-
The growth does not come right back
Killing the organism at the root buys you a real season instead of a rinse that fades in weeks.
-
You are not paying for a middleman
We own the trailer and every piece of equipment on it, and the work never gets handed off to a subcontractor.
How it works
- 01
Ask for the estimate
Tell us where the house is, roughly how big it is and what is bothering you. The estimate is free and comes back quickly.
- 02
Pick a morning
Most jobs land one to two weeks out. You do not need to be home, we just need a working outside spigot.
- 03
Protect, wash, rinse
Beds get watered down, the house gets soft washed top to bottom, everything gets rinsed clean.
- 04
Walk it with us
We would rather you look at it while we are still there than find something after we have gone.
House Washing questions
How long does a house wash take?
About an hour for a typical single story home. Two stories or heavy staining pushes it to two or three hours. It is a same day job either way.
How much does it cost?
It comes down to the size of the house, how tall it is and how much buildup is on the walls, so every house gets quoted on its own instead of a flat rate that would be wrong for most of them. The estimate is free and it comes back as a firm number, not a range.
Will it damage my plants?
No. Every bed gets soaked with plain water before anything else touches the wall and rinsed again after. The detergent is diluted for the surface and the water carries it off before it can sit on a root.
Will soft washing strip my paint?
Low pressure will not lift sound paint. If paint is already failing, chalking or peeling, a wash can expose that, and we will tell you before we start rather than after.
How often should a house in Florida be washed?
Once a year for most homes. Under heavy tree cover or on the shaded north side you may want it more often, and most of our customers end up on a yearly rhythm.
Do you wash homes near the beach?
Yes. Jacksonville Beach, Neptune, Atlantic Beach and Ponte Vedra are all inside our area. Salt air adds a film that plain rain never rinses off, so beachside homes usually need the wash more, not less.
