House Washing Services in the Capital Region
A safe, low-pressure full-exterior wash that strips away algae, mildew, dirt, pollen, and cobwebs, and makes your siding look like new without risking a drop of water behind it.
What Is House Washing?
House washing is a complete, top to bottom cleaning of your home’s exterior, siding, trim, soffits, shutters, and entryways, using the low pressure soft wash method. Instead of blasting your house with high pressure (which forces water behind siding and can crack older panels), we apply a biodegradable cleaning solution that breaks down dirt and kills the algae, mold, and mildew causing those green and gray stains, then rinse it all clean.
In the Capital Region, siding takes a beating: spring pollen coats everything yellow-green, humid summers feed algae on shaded walls, and winter leaves a film of road grime and salt. A professional house wash doesn’t just make your home look new again, it removes the organic growth that, left alone, slowly degrades siding and paint. Most homeowners are shocked at how much brighter their house looks when the buildup they’d stopped noticing is finally gone.

I recently hired Near Me Softwash to clean the exterior of my house, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. The team was professional, punctual, and incredibly thorough. They took great care around my landscaping and made sure every part of the house looked spotless by the time they finished. The soft washing made a huge difference, my siding looks brand new again. Great service, fair pricing, and easy communication from start to finish. I’ll definitely be using them again and recommending them to neighbors.

The team at Near Me Softwash is professional, punctual, thorough and friendly. They recently provided a softwash service on my home’s vinyl siding and the results were remarkable. They washed away the last few years of dirt and buildup and the siding looks new again. They were careful around landscaping and windows and left everything clean and tidy. The difference is night and day and I’ve already had neighbors comment on how fresh the house looks. Thank you guys! Highly recommend.

I work at a law firm that is on the 2nd floor and it is all windows! Near Me Softwash took on the job and made all 100 windows inside and out sparkle! They are meticulous and very professional. A real pleasure to do business with. They let me know how things were going every step of the way. I would highly recommend!!!

These guys are awesome. They came when they said they would. They carefully moved my belongings out of the way to perform their work. After they were done with the soft wash they extra rinsed my vegetation around the house so the solution did not harm my plants (just in case). It’s refreshing to see a few young men working hard to build their business. Great job guys!

H2OBX Waterpark had Near Me Softwashes get all our outside buildings ready for the season. They also did a great job refreshening up the outside pool furniture. The project took several days. They worked efficiently, communicated professionally and ensured we were pleased with the outcome. This is a big job coming out of winter hibernation and we would not only recommend them but also would plan to use them again.

How Often Should You Wash Your House in Upstate New York?
Because of our climate, most Capital Region homes benefit from a house wash every one to two years, and sooner if your home is surrounded by trees or has north-facing walls that stay shaded and damp. Those conditions let algae (the green stuff) and Gloeocapsa magma (the gray-black streaking) take hold fast.
Waiting too long costs more than curb appeal. Organic growth holds moisture against your siding and trim, which over years can lead to discoloration that no longer fully cleans, premature paint failure on wood, and a home that simply looks older than it is. A regular, properly done house wash is one of the cheapest ways to protect one of your largest investments. Worried about which method is safe for your siding? That’s exactly why we soft wash houses, here’s how soft washing works →.
House Washing FAQs
Should I pressure wash my house?
It’s risky. High pressure can force water behind siding and crack older panels. What most people mean by “pressure washing a house” is actually soft washing, low pressure plus a cleaning solution, which is the safe way to clean siding and exactly what we do.
Do you pressure wash or soft wash my house?
We soft wash. High pressure forces water behind siding and can crack panels, soft washing cleans safely and lasts far longer.
Will it remove the green and black stains on my siding?
Yes. Our solution kills the algae and mildew causing those stains at the root, not just on the surface.
Is it safe for my plants, pets, and kids?
Yes. We protect and rinse landscaping, and once surfaces are dry the area is completely safe.
How long will my house stay clean?
Typically one to three years, depending on shade, tree cover, and your home’s exposure.
Can you clean just one side or section?
Absolutely, many homeowners start with the shaded side that grows algae fastest. We’ll quote whatever scope you want.
Do you offer free estimates?
Always, free, flat-rate, no-obligation. Call or text (518) 313-5082.
