House washing (soft wash) — Oakland
Soft wash siding, trim, and stucco—lift mildew without peeling paint.
From hillside homes to busy corridors near Lake Merritt, Oakland properties collect algae on concrete and mildew on shaded siding. We use controlled pressure and biodegradable detergents to lift stains without damaging paint or older masonry. Aggressive pressure can force water behind vinyl, dent wood fiber, and blast mortar from brick. Our house wash uses low pressure and detergents matched to your cladding—stucco, wood, fiber cement, or vinyl—to kill organic growth at the root.
