A Cedars exterior collects three different things, and only one of them is dirt. It sits in Caldwell off Karcher Rd in 83607, and it is new ground: recorded 2020–2026 across 5 phases, with homes still going up. It covers about 101 acres and about 343 lots, large enough that we route it as its own stop, and that scale is part of the quote.

Exteriors here collect three separate things. On north and east elevations, where sun never fully dries the wall, you get algae and mildew as a green-black film. Along the bottom three feet you get mud splash and irrigation overspray staining — the same mineral that marks the glass marks the siding, and on light vinyl it reads as a permanent dingy band. Everywhere else you get Canyon County farm dust off the dairy, seed-crop and row-crop ground that still surrounds the city on three sides, plus the harvest traffic that comes with it. Each needs different treatment, which is why one pass with a pressure wand does a poor job on all three. Across roughly 343 lots it is remarkably consistent — Cedars is one job, not a hundred different ones.
House washing is a chemical process, not a force one. We apply a surfactant and sodium-hypochlorite blend at low pressure, give it dwell time to kill the growth at the root, and rinse. High pressure drives water up behind lap joints and into the wall assembly, strips the chalking layer off aging vinyl, and on stucco and manufactured stone it will take the finish off outright. Soft washing kills the algae rather than knocking the top off it, which is why it stays gone longer. We pre-wet and rinse every bed on the wash path. Being this close to Karcher means the road-facing elevation is always the one that needs the most attention.
Caldwell is one of the few cities in the valley that runs its own irrigation district — the Caldwell Municipal Irrigation District delivers untreated surface water to yards across town, and a lot of the older grid is still on gravity rather than pressure. What reaches the glass is canal water either way. That is the honest reason we push timing as hard as we push method: doing this work at the right point in the Caldwell season is worth more than doing it more often at the wrong one. Cedars routes off Karcher, so getting here is not a special trip.
Bundling with window cleaning saves a trip charge and gets the sequence right. We will tell you honestly if you do not need the second service yet — a bundle you do not need is not a saving.
Soft washing removes organic growth and dirt. It will not fix oxidised vinyl, it will not pull efflorescence out of masonry, and it does not repaint anything. We are locally owned and fully insured, and we would rather point you to the right trade than take work we cannot finish well.

Not at soft-wash pressure. The mix is diluted, beds are pre-wet and rinsed, and we never drive water behind lap joints. We will point out anything already failing before we wash it.

$0.18/sq ft soft-wash. The final number depends on the property, and there is no contract and no membership requirement. Booking it alongside another service on the same visit is the cheapest way to do it.
Every one to two years for most homes. North-facing walls and anything shaded by a fence or neighbouring house grow back faster and may want annual attention.
The wash rinses them but it is not a window cleaning — soft-wash mix leaves residue on glass. Book them together and we do the glass after the walls, in that order.
