House Washing for Westlake homes
Light colored vinyl siding is everywhere in Westlake, and it shows every bit of green algae on the north side and gray road film on the front. A soft wash kills the growth at the root and lifts the film without forcing water behind the panels, which is what high pressure does to vinyl.
We also wash the soffits, the fascia, the shutters and the outside of the gutters, and we soak and rinse the landscaping before and after. Most Westlake homes stay clean two to three years after a proper soft wash.
Westlake runs the full range: mid century ranches with aluminum siding, 1990s colonials with a lot of glass, and newer construction near Crocker Park with big two story windows that nobody wants to put a ladder against. Our poles reach all of it from the ground.
How we do it
- 01
Protect
We wet down and tarp the landscaping, move what needs moving and check every window and vent before a drop of solution goes on the house.
- 02
Apply
The soft wash solution goes on at low pressure, bottom up, so it never streaks. We work in sections so nothing dries on the wall.
- 03
Dwell
The solution sits and does the work. This is the step that kills the algae at the root, and it is the step most companies rush.
- 04
Rinse
A full low pressure rinse top down, then a second rinse on the landscaping and hardscape so nothing is left behind.

FAQs
House Washing in Westlake: FAQs
01Is soft washing safe for vinyl siding?
It is the method vinyl manufacturers recommend. High pressure can crack panels and push water behind them. Soft washing runs at roughly garden hose pressure and lets the solution do the work.
02How long does a Westlake house wash take?
Three to five hours on most homes. A large two story with heavy growth can take most of the day, and the price is set by the house, not the hour.
03Will soft washing damage my siding or paint?
No. Soft washing runs at roughly garden hose pressure. The cleaning solution does the work, not the water, which is exactly why it is the method siding manufacturers call for. High pressure on vinyl can crack it, force water behind the panels and strip paint. We do not use it on a house.
04Is it safe for my plants and my pets?
Yes, with the prep. We wet the landscaping before we start, cover what is sensitive and rinse everything again when we finish, which dilutes anything that reached the beds. Keep pets inside while we work and let the surfaces dry before they go back out.
05How long will the house stay clean?
Two to three years on most west side homes, versus about a season for a pressure washed house. The difference is that soft washing kills the algae rather than removing the visible layer, so it has to regrow from spores instead of resuming from roots.
