House Washing in Forest Lake
Overview
House Washing is a safe, low-pressure soft wash that removes grime, pollen, algae, moss, mold, mildew, cobwebs and other organic buildup from siding, soffits, and eaves — without pushing water behind your exterior.
House Washing starts at $400 for homes between 0-2,000 Square Feet.
(Price varies for those with a Stucco, Stone, or Brick exterior, as these surfaces take more chemical due to their porosity).
House Washing Is Perfect For Your Home If:
You want consistent curb appeal and protection against build-up caused by Minnesota weather swings.
You’d rather handle service once, correctly, than patchwork the look all season.
You want the work to be insurance approved, documented, and want clear, consistent communication throughout the service.

How we do it
Our Insurance Approved House Washing Process:
Before we begin, we will asses the surfaces we're soft washing to confirm priority areas, and make note of any delicate landscaping.
After we set up our equipment, we apply the correct ratio of soft-wash mixture for the surface, and buildup type we're cleaning.
Once the application is on the surface, we give proper dwell time, then rinse all chemical and debris off of the exterior, gently from top to bottom.
Once finished, we do a final inspection to make sure everything looks amazing, and make notes of problem areas we might have seen that we'd recommend you watch out for.
How We Protect Your Property:
Protect plants with pre-wet/rinse practices throughout our process.
Use the right pressure (low) and the right solution (surface-specific).
Avoid forcing water behind siding by keeping technique correct.
Respect paint condition, and existing wear.
Use mindful, respectful practices, and give precautionary recommendations when necessary, from our experiences cleaning countless types of surfaces.
As Part Of The Process, We Always:
Do a final quality check in sunlight (when possible)
Provide quick cleanup of any overspray on hard surfaces.
Give clear notes if we see oxidation, failing caulk, or other surface concerns.
Go over optional maintenance schedule suggestions for your situation.

- Soft-wash approach: the goal is to lift organic buildup safely — not blast your siding.

FAQ
Is house washing safe for siding?
Yes — we use a low-pressure soft wash method designed to clean without forcing water behind siding.
How long does it take?
Most homes take a few hours depending on size, buildup level, and access.
Will it remove algae and green staining?
Organic staining responds very well to soft wash solutions and proper dwell time. Heavy areas may need a second pass.
Will it damage paint?
We adjust technique for paint condition and surface type. If paint is already failing, we’ll point it out before starting.
Do you clean soffits and eaves too?
Yes, when accessible we include soffits/eaves because that’s where buildup shows most.
When should I book in Minnesota?
Spring and late summer/fall are most popular — book early for best availability.
Is the $400 starting price for every home?
It’s a minimum starting point. Final pricing depends on surface area, buildup severity, and access.
Do you service my neighborhood nearby?
If it’s within our service area, yes — and we often service nearby cities too.
Do you require a deposit?
If a deposit is required for your appointment type, we’ll confirm before booking.
Do you offer recurring plans?
Yes — seasonal maintenance helps keep buildup from returning quickly.
Can you give an exact price without seeing it?
We can give a strong estimate from details/photos, and confirm on-site if anything changes the scope.
How fast do you respond?
We aim to get you a free quote within 12 hours.
Do I need to move patio furniture?
If you can, it helps. We’ll work around what we can, but clearing space improves results.
Can you wash during light rain?
Sometimes — but we won’t work in unsafe conditions (wind, lightning, freezing temps).
Should I close windows?
Yes — please close all windows and doors before we arrive.
Will it clean oxidation (chalky residue)?
Oxidation is a different process and is quoted separately if needed.
What about plants and landscaping?
We take precautions, and we’ll let you know if any area needs extra protection.
Will it make my home look ‘patchy’?
Our method is designed for even results; we also do a final check and touch-ups.

A house wash before window cleaning helps reduce drip marks and residue on glass.
