Soft wash house washing that lifts mold, mildew, algae and black streaks off siding, brick and stucco — without the pressure that cracks vinyl or drives water behind your walls.

No stock photos — these are actual East Tennessee homes we've washed.
This gable had years of green and black algae buildup that a garden hose was never going to touch. A low-pressure soft wash with the right cleaning solution broke down the growth and rinsed it away without cracking a single panel — the siding underneath was fine all along.
Concrete can take real pressure, so this patio got a proper surface clean that pulled out years of dirt, mildew and foot traffic grime. Same slab, same stucco house behind it — just clean again.
"Pressure washing" gets used as a catch-all term, but siding and concrete need two different approaches. Soft washing (what we use on your house) is low pressure plus a cleaning solution that kills mold, mildew and algae at the root, so it stays clean longer than a rinse. Pressure washing uses higher water pressure on surfaces that can handle it, like concrete driveways, patios and sidewalks. Using the wrong method on the wrong surface is how siding gets cracked or water gets forced behind panels — we match the method to the material every time.
We use eco-friendly, plant-safe cleaning solutions that are tough on mold, mildew and algae without being harsh on your landscaping, pets or the surrounding soil. Beds and shrubs get soaked down with plain water before we apply anything, and rinsed again afterward as an extra precaution.
We walk the property first and note anything that needs covering or moving — landscaping, light fixtures, outdoor outlets, AC units, furniture and any doors or windows with questionable seals. Plants get soaked down before we apply any cleaning solution so nothing gets burned. We work top to bottom, let the solution dwell long enough to actually do its job, then rinse everything clean.
What you pay depends on square footage, how many stories, the siding material, and how heavy the algae or mildew buildup is. A single-story vinyl home with light growth costs less than a two-story brick and stucco combination with years of buildup. We give a written number after seeing the house — in person or from a few photos — so there's no guessing on either end.
Spring, right after pollen season, is when most homeowners book — it clears the yellow film and sets the house up clean for summer. That said, algae and mildew do not wait for a season, and a wash before painting or listing a home is worth doing whenever it's needed.
We stand behind every house wash two ways. First, a satisfaction guarantee: if something was missed or does not look right when we finish, tell us and we'll come back and make it right — no extra charge, no hassle. Second, a 12-month algae return guarantee: if mold, mildew or algae returns on the surfaces we washed within a year of the job, we come back and re-wash those areas at no cost to you. A proper soft wash kills the growth at the root rather than blasting the surface layer off, which is why we can stand behind it that long.
Homes in Farragut and Hardin Valley tend to pick up pollen film and green algae fast thanks to mature tree cover and nearby lawns, especially on north-facing siding that doesn't get much direct sun. In Knoxville and Powell, older brick and vinyl homes closer to the city often need a heavier soft wash to break through years of built-up grime before a repaint or a sale.
Out toward Lenoir City, Loudon and Tellico Village, humidity off the lake keeps mildew and black streaking coming back on siding and soffits, so a lot of homeowners there put us on a yearly or every-other-year schedule. We also wash homes regularly in Maryville and around Oak Ridge — check our service area page if you don't see your neighborhood listed here.
Tell us about the house — siding type, number of stories, and what's growing on it. Photos help but are not required.
We look at the actual job and give you a written estimate with a realistic start window — no surprises once the truck shows up.
We protect what needs protecting, wash top to bottom, then walk the property with you before we leave. Nothing left behind.

Patrick and his team did an amazing job on washing and sealing my deck. He provided very professional, timely, and detailed work, and he maintained great communication during the process by starting/finishing the job at exactly the times he said he would. I would definitely use his company again and will be highly recommending him to many others in the future.
Prompt response to phone calls, answered all questions, arrived to do the job at the agreed days/time and completed the job on time. Everything was cleaned up afterward. Looks great!
Excellent professional service, competitive price, and excellent communication.
I can't say enough good about working with Patrick Clark and his team. There's a good reason he's been in business so long — fair price, respectful guys who show up every day until the job is done.
Patrick and his crew are easy to work with and very honest. I have known Patrick for several years — he is focused on delivering quality work for a fair price. Trustworthy and great at what they do. Highly recommend!

Learn moreHouse washing (also called soft washing) uses low pressure and a cleaning solution to safely kill mold, mildew and algae on siding, brick and stucco. Pressure washing uses higher water pressure and is better suited to hard surfaces like concrete and driveways. We use the right method for each surface, and often both on the same visit.
Not when it is done correctly. We wash siding at low pressure with a cleaning solution that does the actual work, then rinse downward so water is not forced up behind the panels. High pressure directly on vinyl is what cracks it and drives water into the wall — we do not do that.
Both, depending on the surface. We use eco-friendly, plant-safe cleaning solutions to actually kill and release mold, mildew and algae — water alone just knocks the surface layer off and it comes right back within a season. Landscaping is soaked down and protected before we apply anything.
Yes. We stand behind every house wash with a satisfaction guarantee — if something was missed or does not look right when we finish, we come back and make it right at no extra charge.
No. As long as we have access to an exterior water spigot and can safely reach the areas being washed, you do not need to be present. Many customers are at work during the job and we send photos when it's done.
That's fine. Once the cleaning solution has dwelled and been rinsed, the job is done — rain afterward will not undo the wash or bring the algae and mildew back.
Most East Tennessee homes benefit from a wash every one to two years. North-facing walls, shaded siding and anything under trees grow algae and mildew faster and may need it annually. Spring, once the pollen has settled, is the most popular time.
Yes. We carry the equipment and extension wands to safely reach two-story siding, gables and soffits without needing to be on a ladder against the house the whole time.
Yes. On exterior painting projects, washing is part of the prep and is included in the quoted price. A clean, mildew-free surface is what allows the new paint to actually bond.
A typical single-story home takes a few hours. A larger two-story exterior with heavy algae or mildew growth can take most of a day. We will give you a realistic window when we quote the job.
Price depends on square footage, siding material, how many stories, and how heavy the buildup is. We give a written price after seeing the house, either in person or from photos, so there are no surprises.
