Siding in Dry Creek Ranch Village carries algae on the shaded walls and an irrigation band along the bottom three feet. It sits in Boise between Five Mile and Maple Grove north of Beacon Light in 83714, and it is still filling in — the plats recorded 2021–2027 across 4 phases. At roughly 117 acres it is one of the larger communities in the city, 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 decomposed granite off the foothills, plus the winter inversion that traps particulate at ground level for weeks at a time. Each needs different treatment, which is why one pass with a pressure wand does a poor job on all three. We see it most consistently on the homes along N Tierra Linda Way.
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. On Dry Creek Ranch Village's newer builds the warranty paperwork usually still matters, so we work in a way that will not give anyone a reason to void it.
Two things drive this in Boise: untreated irrigation water off the canal system, and decomposed granite off the foothills, plus the winter inversion that traps particulate at ground level for weeks at a time. Separately each is manageable. Together they bond, and that is the condition we are actually treating on a Dry Creek Ranch Village job. If you are on N Spring Creek Way or one of the streets off it, we are likely already working nearby.
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.
Dry Creek Ranch Village is on our regular Boise route, not a special trip. We already work N Tierra Linda Way, W Dry Creek Rd, N Spring Creek Way and N Blue Grouse Pl inside the subdivision. It routes off Beacon Light, which is how we keep travel out of the price. We schedule by area rather than first-come, which keeps drive time down and holds prices where they are.

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.
