Your house picks up a lot of stuff you don't notice until it's covering the whole wall. Mildew on the north side. Green algae creeping up from the foundation. Oxidation turning white vinyl gray. Michigan humidity does that. Takes about two seasons.
We soft wash it off. Low pressure, the right cleaning solution, and a full rinse. No blasting, no damage, no streaks left behind. I've been doing this in Mid-Michigan since 2021 and every house wash runs the same way: test patch first, plants protected, walkthrough before payment.
Same scope on every job. No hidden add-ons, no surprise line items. Here's what you get.
We use a cold-water downstream injector to apply a cleaning solution at low pressure – under 500 PSI on every house wash. The solution does the work. It loosens mildew, lifts algae, and breaks down oxidation on the surface. Then we rinse everything with fresh water at the same low pressure. No turbo nozzles. No surface damage.
Before we spray a single drop of solution, every plant bed and shrub within reach gets a full pre-rinse with clean water. We rinse again during the wash and again after. The method is safe for vinyl, brick, stucco, aluminum, Hardie board, and painted wood in stable condition. We do NOT do lead-paint stripping. If your home was built before 1978 and you suspect lead paint, get it tested by a certified inspector first.
Every house is different. Square footage, number of stories, how much buildup is on the siding, access around the foundation – all of it changes the price. That's why we don't publish flat rates or starting-at numbers that don't mean anything once we see the property.
Instead, you get a free written estimate in under 24 hours. Text us a few photos of your house or schedule a walk-around. Jamisen writes every quote personally – not a call center, not an algorithm. The price you see on the estimate is the price you pay. No surprise add-ons, no "well, once we got up there" surcharges. If the scope changes on site, we stop and talk to you first.

A standard pressure washer runs between 2,000 and 4,000 PSI. That kind of force is fine for concrete. It is not fine for siding. High pressure drives water behind vinyl panels, cracks grout on brick, pits stucco, and strips paint. You might not see the damage right away. But a year later, when mildew is growing inside the wall cavity because water got forced in through a seam, you'll know.
Soft wash works differently. The cleaning solution – applied at low pressure through a downstream injector – does the work chemically. It breaks the bond between organic growth and the surface. Mildew, algae, and oxidation loosen and rinse away with water pressure no stronger than a garden hose. The surface stays intact.
Surface temperature matters too. We don't wash siding in direct afternoon sun when the surface is hot. Heat causes the cleaning solution to dry too fast, which can leave streaks and reduces effectiveness. We schedule around it – early morning, overcast days, or shaded sides first. It takes a little more planning, but it means a better result and no callbacks.
This is the method used by soft-wash professionals across the country. It's not new or experimental. It's just the right tool for the job.
We keep our service area small on purpose. Every house wash runs the same day it's scheduled – no splitting crews across three counties. We serve Mt. Pleasant, Midland, Saginaw, Bay City, Alma, and Clare. If you're outside this area and need a house wash, call anyway – we sometimes travel for larger residential jobs or commercial properties.
