House Washing

The Soft Wash
Your Baltimore Siding Actually Needs
Rowhomes, colonials, townhomes, and single-family homes across Baltimore all have one thing in common: siding that collects mold, mildew, and algae faster than most homeowners expect. Proximity to the Chesapeake Bay keeps humidity elevated from spring through fall, and mature tree canopy across the city’s older neighborhoods traps moisture against exterior walls for months at a time.
At Baltimore Pressure Washers, we use a soft wash process that dissolves organic buildup at the source with a low-pressure chemical application instead of forcing it off with high pressure. Every job includes a detailed written estimate, before-and-after photo documentation, and a 2-year guarantee on results.
If your siding has started to show green, black, or brown staining, or it simply looks dull and overdue for a refresh, call us at (443) 531-6660 or request your free quote online.

Why Baltimore Homeowners Trust Us
for House Washing
A Cleaning Method Built Around Chemistry, Not Force
The chemical does the cleaning at low pressure, and we rinse with a higher-volume pressure washer for speed and thoroughness. That combination means a faster job, a lower price, and zero damage risk to your siding.

Your Home Is One Quote Away
From a Fresh Start
How Your House Wash Comes Together
1
Quote and Scope Confirmation
After we receive your request, we send an email confirmation and draft a full written estimate within 48 to 72 hours. If a site visit is needed, we text you first with a specific arrival time. The estimate covers scope, pricing, inclusions, and expectations.
2
Plant and Surface Protection
On service day, we arrive with our 250-gallon water tanks full and connect to your water supply. Before any chemical touches your home, we thoroughly pre-wet all plants, shrubs, flower beds, and exterior surfaces. Pre-wetting dilutes potential chemical contact before it happens.
3
Downspout and Drainage Prep
If your downspouts drain into planted areas, we bag them with zip ties to capture chemical runoff. For buried downspouts that drain beyond reach, we identify those during the estimate walkthrough and factor them into the plan. If your gutters also need attention, we offer gutter cleaning as a standalone or bundled service.
4
Soft Wash Chemical Application
We apply our sodium hypochlorite and surfactant solution through our soft wash system at low pressure. The solution clings to vertical siding surfaces and dissolves all organic material, including mold, mildew, algae, and embedded grime. The concentration we use, between 0.5% and 1%, is safe for all residential siding and neutralizes completely during rinsing.
5
Surface-Specific Rinse
For smooth surfaces like vinyl, aluminum, fiber cement, and wood, we rinse at reduced pressure with high water volume. For rough surfaces like brick and metal, we add pressure during the rinse to clear debris embedded in the texture. This is where our higher-volume equipment makes the biggest difference in speed and final result.
6
Final Walkthrough and Photo Documentation
Once the wash is complete, we walk you through the finished result. Before-and-after photos are captured through Company Cam and uploaded to your client portal. You confirm satisfaction before any invoice is sent.
House Washing Pricing
in Baltimore
For most Baltimore homes, a full exterior house wash starts at $350 to $399 and can reach approximately $1,000 for larger properties above 5,000 square feet.
Your final price depends on several factors specific to the job:
A typical house wash takes roughly two to two and a half hours on a smaller home and up to six or seven hours on a 5,000-plus-square-foot property. If you schedule more than one service on the same day, such as a roof cleaning, deck cleaning, or window cleaning, we offer 5 to 10% off each service in that bundle. Every quote comes with a complete scope breakdown so you know exactly what to expect before we begin.
Backed by a 2-Year House Washing Guarantee
At Baltimore Pressure Washers, we stand behind every house wash with a 2-year guarantee on results, which is longer than most companies in the Baltimore market offer for a soft wash service. The inspection happens before the invoice, not after. If anything needs a second pass, we take care of it on the spot. The results consistently speak for themselves, but the guarantee is there so you never carry the risk.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a house wash cost in Baltimore?
Most house washes in Baltimore fall between $350 and $1,000. Smaller homes with minimal complexity start at $350 to $399, while larger properties above 5,000 square feet can reach approximately $1,000. We provide a detailed written estimate covering the full scope before scheduling.
How long does a house wash take?
A 1,500-square-foot home typically takes about two to two and a half hours. Larger homes around 5,000 square feet can take six to seven hours depending on staining severity and architectural features.
Is soft washing safe for my siding?
Yes. Soft washing applies the cleaning solution at the same pressure as a garden hose. The chemical dissolves mold, algae, and mildew, and we rinse at reduced pressure afterward. This method is safe on vinyl, aluminum, wood, fiber cement, brick, and metal siding.
What is the difference between soft washing and pressure washing?
Soft washing relies on a chemical solution to break down organic buildup, applied at very low pressure. The pressure washer is used only for rinsing at reduced force. The cleaning power comes from the chemistry, not mechanical force, which protects your siding from damage. Learn more in our guide on the difference between soft washing and power washing.
Will the chemicals hurt my plants or pets?
We thoroughly pre-wet all vegetation and surrounding surfaces before applying any chemical. The concentration used for house washing is between 0.5% and 1% sodium hypochlorite, which neutralizes during rinsing. If downspouts drain into flower beds, we bag them to capture runoff.
How often should I have my house washed?
Most Baltimore homeowners benefit from a house wash every one to two years. Homes with heavy tree cover, dense shade, or high-traffic surroundings may need cleaning every six months. The humidity in this area accelerates organic growth, especially on north-facing and shaded walls.
Do you offer a guarantee on house washing?
Yes. Every house wash comes with a 2-year guarantee on results. You inspect the finished work and confirm satisfaction before any invoice is sent.
Can I bundle house washing with other services for a discount?
Yes. When you schedule multiple services on the same day, we offer 5 to 10% off each service. We also recommend checking your windows after the house wash before booking a separate cleaning. The rinse typically leaves them looking clean on its own.
What if my home is on well water or has low water pressure?
We arrive with 250 gallons of water onboard. For properties with limited well pressure, we bring a commercial trailer with a 750-gallon water tank. Water supply issues are identified during the estimate process so we arrive prepared.
