Algae buildup on siding is one of those things that sneaks up on you. It doesn't happen overnight - it builds up slowly over months and years until one day the whole exterior just looks dull, streaked, and faded. That's exactly what we were dealing with on this Statesville home.
The siding had heavy algae growth running across the entire surface. That kind of buildup isn't just an eyesore. It holds moisture against the siding, which can accelerate wear over time. Getting it off the right way matters just as much as getting it off at all.
That's where soft washing comes in. Instead of blasting siding with high pressure - which can crack panels, force water behind the siding, and void warranties - we use a low-pressure application with professional-grade cleaning solutions. The mix does the work. It kills the algae and grime at the root so it doesn't just come right back in a few weeks.
The results speak for themselves. The siding went from streaked and dingy to clean and bright. Even the gutters and trim cleaned up nicely. The homeowner could see a difference from the curb immediately. That's the kind of outcome we're going for on every single job we do.
A proper house wash is one of the highest-return things you can do for your home's appearance. If your siding has that same green-grey film starting to take over, it's worth getting it taken care of before it gets worse.
