HOUSE WASHING IN BELTON, MO

The green and black streaking that shows up on the north and west walls of most Belton homes isn't dirt — it's living organic growth. Algae, mildew, and lichen feed on the moisture Missouri humidity leaves behind, and they keep spreading until something kills them at the root. Blasting them off with high pressure removes the color for a few weeks and leaves the colony behind. Our house washing treats the growth chemically first, then rinses it away at a pressure your siding can actually handle.

That's what soft washing means: a low-pressure application of professional-grade cleaning solution, dwell time to let it break down the organic material, then a gentle rinse. It's the method siding manufacturers and shingle warranties actually call for. High pressure forces water up under lap siding, cracks aging caulk lines, and can etch soft brick and stucco — and once water is behind your wall system, a clean exterior is the least of your problems.

What a house wash includes

We wash vinyl, aluminum, LP and fiber cement siding, brick, stone, stucco, and painted wood. A typical single-story home takes two to three hours; a two-story runs three to five. Along the way we clean soffits, fascia, gutter exteriors, shutters, downspouts, and exterior window frames — because a clean wall next to a black gutter line only makes the gutter line more obvious.

Before we start we pre-wet and rinse landscaping, cover anything sensitive, and check that windows and vents are closed. When we finish we walk the property with you. If a spot didn't release, we work it again while we're still on site.

Most homes in Belton, Raymore, and Grandview look best on an annual wash cycle, and heavily shaded lots often want it more often. We'll tell you honestly what yours needs when we quote it. Call (816) 500-5502 for a free written estimate.
