A Gander Creek South exterior collects three different things, and only one of them is dirt. The subdivision sits in northwest Meridian west of McDermott south of McMillan in 83646, and it is one of Meridian's active build-outs, platted 2021–2027 across 4 phases. The pressurized irrigation here is mapped to Settlers Irrigation District. It runs about 57 acres.

Start with the build stage — Gander Creek South is one of Meridian's active build-outs, platted 2021–2027 across 4 phases (ZIP 83646, about 57 acres). Meridian exteriors collect three separate things. On the 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 canal mineral that marks the glass marks the siding, and on light-colored vinyl it reads as a permanent dingy band. Everywhere else you get the west-side farm ground along Black Cat and McDermott, which throws field dust east across these roofs every time it is disked or cut. Each needs different treatment, which is why a single pass with a pressure wand does a poor job on all three. We see it most consistently on the homes along W Fairy Falls Dr.
We pre-wet and post-rinse every bed on the wash path, tarp anything sensitive, and keep the mix off turf. Meridian yards are almost all on pressurized irrigation with the heads set close to the foundation, so we also make sure the system is not running mid-wash — a cycle firing partway through re-wets the wall and streaks it. If you know your zone schedule, tell us when we book and we will work around it. At about 57 acres, Gander Creek South is small enough that neighbours booking together is genuinely cheaper for everyone.
It will not fix oxidized vinyl. If your siding has chalked to the point that a dry hand comes away white, washing removes the dirt and reveals the oxidation underneath — that is a painting or replacement question and we will say so before we start rather than after. It also will not remove efflorescence from brick or block, which is mineral coming out of the masonry from the inside. We are happy to look and tell you which one you have. Tell us you are in Gander Creek South off McMillan and we can place you immediately.
Gander Creek South is on our regular Meridian route, not a special trip. We already work W Fairy Falls Dr, N Magical Creek Ave, N Glassford Ave and W Redwood Creek Dr inside the subdivision. It routes off McMillan, which is how we keep travel out of the price. We schedule by area rather than by first-come, which keeps drive time down and means we can hold prices where they are. It also means there is usually a crew working within a few streets of you most weeks of the season.
Soft washing removes organic growth and dirt. It will not fix oxidised vinyl, it will not remove efflorescence out of masonry, and it does not repaint anything. If your siding has chalked past the point of washing, we will say so before we start rather than after. 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, the beds are pre-wet and rinsed, and we never drive water behind lap joints. We are fully insured, and we will point out anything already failing before we wash it.
Every one to two years for most homes. North-facing walls and any elevation shaded by a fence or neighbouring house grow back faster and may want annual attention.
$0.18 per square foot for soft washing, quoted off the wall area rather than the home's floor plan. Combining it with a window cleaning on the same visit is the cheapest way to do both.
The wash will rinse them but it is not a window cleaning — soft-wash mix leaves residue on glass. If you want the windows done properly, book them together and we do the glass after the walls, in that order for a reason.
