Frequently Asked Questions

Not when it's done correctly. We soft wash all siding — low pressure combined with a cleaning solution that does the actual work, not the force of the water. We never run high pressure on siding; that's reserved for concrete.

That's gloeocapsa magma, a bacteria that feeds on the limestone filler in asphalt shingles. It's common across Central Kentucky because of our limestone-heavy soil, and it holds moisture against the shingle, shortening the roof's life. Soft washing kills it at the root.

Usually algae or mildew, feeding on moisture and organic buildup. Kentucky humidity creates ideal conditions, especially on shaded or north-facing walls. A soft wash kills it at the source rather than just knocking it loose.

That's oxidation — sun-damaged paint or finish breaking down on the surface. It can be lightened with gentle, low-pressure cleaning, but it's a sign of aging material, not dirt, and can return over time regardless of cleaning method.

Likely artillery fungus, which lives in decomposing mulch and shoots spores onto nearby surfaces. We can lighten these spots, but full removal usually isn't possible without replacing the affected panel — keeping mulch away from your foundation helps prevent it.

Yes. Hot-water pressure washing breaks down oil and grease that cold water alone can't touch, and we pre-treat heavy spots before the full clean for the best result.

Yes — we use biodegradable, eco-friendly solutions, and we pre-soak nearby plants and landscaping before applying anything, then rinse thoroughly afterward. We recommend keeping kids and pets off treated surfaces until everything is dry, typically a few hours.

Yes — your surfaces are getting wet either way. We'll reschedule only if there's a safety concern, like lightning or heavy storms, or if solution wouldn't have time to work before being washed away.

No — as long as we have access to a water spigot and any gates are unlocked, we can complete the work while you're away. We send before-and-after photos once we're finished.

It depends on scope. A single-story house wash usually runs one to two hours; larger homes or bundled services (house plus driveway plus gutters) can run about half a day.

Spring through fall covers most of our bookings — spring for winter buildup, fall to get ahead of the cold months — but we work in any season as long as temperatures stay above freezing.

It varies by surface. House washing typically holds 12–18 months, roof cleaning 3–5 years, concrete cleaning around a year, and window cleaning 3–6 months. Heavy shade or tree cover shortens all of these somewhat.

Close any open windows nearby, move patio furniture or breakables away from the work area if you can, and make sure your outdoor water spigot is accessible and functioning. We'll handle the rest.

Yes — we carry a $2,000,000 general liability insurance policy on every job, residential or commercial, and are properly licensed to operate in Kentucky.

Yes. We're locally owned and operated in Lexington, KY — no franchise fees, no call center, no rotating subcontractors. The team that quotes the job is the team that shows up.

All of Lexington plus the surrounding Central Kentucky area — Georgetown, Nicholasville, Versailles, Winchester, Paris, Frankfort, Richmond, and Lawrenceburg. If you're within about 30 miles of Lexington, give us a call.

Yes, every estimate is free with no obligation — usually returned same day from a quick call or a few photos.

Yes. We set up recurring schedules — monthly, quarterly, or annual — for storefronts, apartment complexes, and HOA properties, with priority scheduling for recurring accounts.

It depends on the job. Most single-story homes fall in the low hundreds of dollars for a house wash; driveways and flatwork are typically priced per square foot. Every job gets an exact quote before we schedule anything.

Most homes in Central Kentucky do well on an annual schedule. Humidity drives algae and mildew growth fast here, especially on shaded or north-facing walls — heavier tree cover may call for cleaning sooner.

At least twice a year — once in late spring after pollen and seed pods drop, and once in late fall once the leaves are down. Properties with heavy pine or overhanging branches sometimes need a third visit.

Yes. Booking two or more services in the same visit — house wash, driveway, and gutters, for example — is almost always cheaper than scheduling them separately, since we're already on-site with equipment set up.
