House Washing in the Upper Cumberland
Tennessee's humidity is brutal on siding. Between the rain, shade, and warm temperatures, mold, mildew, and algae can take hold fast — especially on north-facing walls and under eaves. That green and black buildup isn't just ugly. Left alone, it eats into paint, degrades vinyl, and can even work its way behind siding where it causes moisture damage you won't see until it's expensive to fix. Our soft wash process kills that growth at the root and rinses it away without putting any stress on your siding. We use low pressure — about what comes out of a garden hose — combined with professional-grade cleaning solutions that do the heavy lifting. It's safe for vinyl, wood, brick, stucco, and painted surfaces.

Our Process
Walk the property
We check every wall for problem areas, note your siding type, and cover anything that needs protection — plants, outdoor furniture, light fixtures.
Apply the soft wash solution
Our cleaning mix goes on at low pressure. It soaks into the mold and algae and starts breaking it down within minutes.
Let it dwell
The solution needs time to work. We let it sit long enough to kill the growth all the way to the root, not just bleach the surface.
Rinse clean
We rinse everything off with low pressure, working top to bottom. No high-pressure blasting, no risk to your siding.
Final walkthrough
We walk the property with you and make sure every wall looks right before we pack up.
Why It Matters
A clean house isn't just about looks. Mold and algae hold moisture against your siding, which accelerates wear and can lead to rot on wood surfaces. Regular washing extends the life of your paint and siding, protects your investment, and keeps your home looking the way it should. Most homeowners are surprised at the difference — it's one of the highest-impact things you can do for your property's appearance.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is soft washing safe for my siding?
Yes. Soft washing uses pressure similar to a garden hose. The cleaning solution does the work, not the water pressure. It's safe for vinyl, wood, stucco, brick, and painted surfaces. Shingle manufacturers actually recommend this method for roof cleaning too.
How often should I have my house washed?
Once a year is a good baseline for most homes in the Cookeville area. If your house sits in heavy shade or backs up to woods, you might benefit from going every 8-10 months. We'll let you know what makes sense for your situation.
How long does it take?
A typical 2,000 square foot home takes about 1.5 to 2 hours. Larger homes or heavily stained surfaces can take up to 3 hours. We'll give you a time estimate when you book.
Will it kill my plants?
We take precautions to protect your landscaping — wetting plants down before and after, and using biodegradable solutions. In thousands of jobs, we've never damaged a customer's plants.
