Low-pressure soft washing for siding and exterior trim.
About House Washing
A Softer Method for the Parts of Your Home That Need It
House washing is not the place for maximum pressure. For homes in Durham, Chapel Hill and across the Triangle, Durham Power Wash uses a soft-washing approach on compatible siding and exterior finishes, so the cleaning solution removes organic film while limiting force on the surface.
Before cleaning, we note siding condition, openings, fixtures, landscaping and areas where water should not be directed. The goal is an even exterior refresh with a careful setup and thorough rinse.
- Vinyl siding
- Compatible painted exteriors
- Exterior trim
- Porches and entry areas
- Soft washing
- Plant and fixture awareness
- Controlled application
- Complete rinse

House Washing FAQ
House Washing and Soft Washing FAQs
Is soft washing the same as house washing?
Soft washing is a low-pressure cleaning method commonly used as part of house washing. The exact method depends on the siding and the type of buildup.
Will you use high pressure on my siding?
House siding generally calls for lower pressure than concrete. We inspect the material and use a surface-appropriate process rather than treating the home like hardscape.
What should I move before house washing?
We may ask you to close windows, clear fragile décor and provide access around the exterior. Project-specific preparation is coordinated before cleaning.
Can you include exterior windows?
Yes. We also offer exterior window cleaning. Tell us which windows you want cleaned so we can talk through the scope and method before the visit.
