Ardell Estates is 220 CBH lots from 0.16 up to 0.311 acres off Linder and West Striped Owl Drive, with plans from 1,364 to 3,250 square feet. Bigger lots mean the houses spread rather than stack, and spreading means more wall area than the floor plan suggests.
A 2,000 square foot two-story on a tight lot has a compact footprint and about two storeys of wall. A 2,000 square foot single-story on a 0.311 acre Ardell Estates lot has double the footprint perimeter at one storey. Those two do not produce the same wall area, and house washing prices on actual wall area at $0.18 per square foot. Wide single-story plans here frequently price above what owners expect from the square footage, which is worth explaining before the quote rather than after.
The practical upside of 0.16 to 0.311 acre lots is real side-yard space, so there is room to work the full perimeter properly rather than improvising around a condenser in a five-foot gap. Elevations that get skipped or half-done on Kuna's tight-platted subdivisions get finished here. It also means the soft wash solution can be applied and rinsed without working over a neighbour's fence line, which produces a more consistent result on the side walls.
Sprinkler heads on larger lots sit further from the walls, so the water arrives with less force and less mineral concentration, having lost some to evaporation in the air. The lower-wall splash band here is correspondingly lighter and more diffuse than the hard crust you see on 0.12 acre Thunder Rock lots. Lighter is easier to wash off, though it is also easier to ignore for years, and it still carries the canal mineral that makes it more than plain dirt.
Landscaping here is young enough that there is no mature tree cover, which means Ardell Estates walls do not carry the aphid honeydew and organic staining that older Kuna streets deal with. What is on these walls is mineral, dust and insect residue, which is a simpler situation than the mixed growth-and-grime problem on Avalon Street or near Indian Creek. It also means the soiling is drier and more brittle, and responds well to a soft wash.
House washing is a soft wash at $0.18 per square foot: low pressure and the correct solution. High pressure on vinyl lap drives water upward behind the laps into the wall assembly where it cannot dry, which is damage that surfaces a year later. Pressure washing at $0.20 per square foot is for the driveway, patio and paths, where high pressure is the right tool, and on larger Ardell Estates lots there is usually a lot more of that than on a compact lot. We quote both separately.

Wall area rather than floor area. A wide single-story on a 0.311 acre lot has double the footprint perimeter at one storey, which can exceed a taller, more compact plan with more square footage. House washing prices at $0.18 per square foot of actual wall area, measured on site.
Yes, for access. Real side-yard space means the full perimeter can be worked properly rather than improvised around a condenser in a five-foot gap, so elevations that get skipped on tight-platted subdivisions get finished here, with a more consistent result on the side walls.
Throw distance. Heads on larger lots sit further from the walls, so water arrives with less force and less mineral concentration after evaporating in the air. The splash band is lighter and more diffuse than the hard crust on a 0.12 acre lot, and easier to wash off.
Unlikely here. Landscaping is young enough that there is no mature canopy, so Ardell Estates walls carry mineral, dust and insect residue rather than the aphid honeydew and organic staining that older Kuna streets deal with. That is a simpler and drier situation.
Access is not the issue; the material is. High pressure on vinyl lap drives water behind the laps into the wall assembly where it cannot dry, regardless of how much room there is to stand. Siding is a soft wash at $0.18 per square foot.
Not in the house wash, but it is usually worth doing at the same visit. Driveways, patios and paths are pressure washing at $0.20 per square foot, and larger Ardell Estates lots typically have considerably more of it than a compact lot. We quote it as a separate line.
