What needs washing off a house in Eaglefield is not really dirt. Mineral-carrying mist from the waterfalls settling on the lower walls.

This is the condition that makes Eaglefield distinctive. Waterfall mist carries dissolved mineral from untreated canal water, and it settles lowest and hardest on the elevations facing the water — drying as a hazy film on the bottom few feet of wall rather than as discrete spots. Above that, the shaded elevations stay damp enough to grow organic film. Soft-washing at $0.18 per square foot handles both at low pressure without forcing water behind siding.
River-corridor humidity and the dew that sits on these lots overnight keep the shaded elevations damp for most of the day in spring and autumn. Damp plus organic debris is exactly what algae and mildew need, so the north and water-facing walls here green up in a way a dry Eagle lot never does. That is not dirt and scrubbing will not fix it — it is growth with a root structure in the surface, which is why a soft-wash solution that actually kills it is the difference between clean for a season and clean for a fortnight.
Late-spring cottonwood mats into siding seams and under trim laps, and the riverbottom midge and mayfly hatches leave a stippled film on south and west walls through early summer. Both bond as they dry. Soft-washing at $0.18 per square foot handles all of it in one pass: low pressure so nothing is driven behind the siding, with dwell time to break the organic bond rather than blasting at it.
House washing is $0.18 per square foot on a soft-wash setting — low pressure with solution dwell doing the work, which is the right method for stucco, fiber cement, LP-style siding, painted lap and brick alike. Pressure washing at $0.20 per square foot is for flatwork only: driveways, patios and walkways, never siding. Three plats built to different specs, so a quote in one section does not predict a quote in another.

Because mist deposits mineral as a fine even film rather than as droplets that dry into discrete spots. It reads as dinginess and it is why a rinse with hard water makes it look worse rather than better.
It is the safe option — that is the point of it. Soft-washing uses low pressure and lets the solution do the work, so nothing is driven behind a lap or into stucco. What is not safe is a pressure wand on siding, which forces water behind the surface where it swells hardboard and rots sheathing out of sight.
Kill it. Green and black growth on a shaded wall has a root structure in the surface, so blasting the visible layer off means it returns within weeks from what is left. The soft-wash solution treats the growth itself, which is why it stays clean for a season rather than a fortnight.
We rinse plantings before and after and keep the solution off anything sensitive. Tell us about anything you are particularly protective of at the quote — a specialty plant, a new bed, koi in a pond — and we will plan around it rather than working it out on the day.
Yes — Eagle is one of our nine Treasure Valley cities and we run it as a regular route rather than a stretch call, from the Chinden edge up into the foothills. Call or text (208) 453-6760 and we will tell you the next open slot.
Our 7-Day Rain Guarantee covers it. Rain on a clean surface is largely harmless — it is the dust it lands on that spots. If a storm genuinely undoes the work inside seven days, we come back out.
